Eighteenth Shooting Star - voice/action;

[He's been staring at his journal for a while, just trying to find the right words. It's... difficult, in part because he's so surprised and also due to sadness.

When Ven speaks into the journal, he tries to hide his disappointment; as a result, he sounds pretty strained.]

Hey, guys. Looks like it's December now, which means Christmas is right around the corner. I heard about a party over the journals, but does anyone else have something fun planned? If it's anything like last year, we'll probably get a ton of snow. A big snowball fight could be fun. Just an idea.

[He sighs. This isn't working...]

Terra's gone. After all this time, I didn't think he'd... [A beat.]

Does anyone wanna hang out? Or do something? I think I need a distraction right now.

[There, at least he's being honest. And with that, he'll probably check up on his housemates (especially Vanitas) and then head out into the village for a bit. He might be wandering a little aimlessly. He'll be just about everywhere before he returns back to the house.

Care to cheer him up? Or antagonize him? Anything goes!]

It's been a long time, hasn't it? -- right! In any case, you ordered for a distraction didn't you? Well here it is, complete package and all.

[It's okay. Totally okay, really. What is this thing you call awkward?

Okay, it might be a little awkward, but like Ven's gonna worry about that right now. He's just happy to see her!]

You're always good with distractions. Wouldn't have it any other way.

[Aw yeah, drawn out hugs for the win.]

I heard that the lake here freezes over during the winter. Do you happen to know anything about it?

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

[Oh gosh, Minako. You're gonna make him blush at this rate! 'Course, Ven doesn't really mind this arm looping thing.]

Well, it gets pretty solid! Solid enough to walk around on it-- or skate.

[Skating is a better idea since ice is, well, slippery.]

[arcanaxxii.livejournal.com]

Then -- what do you say to a trip? I haven't gone ice skating forever, and it'll be even more fun with you along with me.

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

[Yeah well, Minako distractions are the best anyway. He wouldn't have it any other way!

But, hey, skating does sound fun, so Ven nods, grinning in true derp fashion.]

Everything's fun with you around. Think we should grab skates from one of the shops, though? They've gotta have 'em somewhere...

[arcanaxxii.livejournal.com]

Mm, mm... You're right. I haven't taken the time to search for a pair yet. We wouldn't be ice skating without ice skates, so we better get hurrying.

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

I'm ready when you are!

[Hurrying is something he's good at, and there's gotta be something they can use for an awesome day of skating and winter fun!]

[arcanaxxii.livejournal.com]

You know me, I'm always ready for an adventure!

How about we go check out the shops first?

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

Sounds great! Think the clothing store'd have 'em?

[arcanaxxii.livejournal.com]

It's the most sensible place to check first, isn't it?

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

Right!

[So shall they mosey on over there, for great justice?]

[arcanaxxii.livejournal.com]

[risingwinds.livejournal.com]

[Yes! And now, off to the lake for a glorious skating adventure?

Ven sure looks pleased with himself.]
