Ventus

[He did say he'd do this. That he'd explain everything... but that doesn't make things any less awkward. Before Ven says anything, he just sorta stares down at the journal, trying to figure out how to articulate things.

Welp, if all else fails, improvise!]

Hey. I'm sure a lot of you guys know about Vanitas by now, and most of you probably don't like him. He can be pretty harsh sometimes, and I know he's caused trouble before. The thing is...

[Hoo boy.]

Well, we're really close. We have been for a while now, I just didn't know how to say it before. I know this sounds weird, but he's really not a bad guy once you get to know him. Honest!

So maybe you guys could give him a chance?

[ooc: Forgot to add; since the event made him think it's always been that way, he doesn't remember Vantias almost killing Axel. :( Just getting into a fight... for reason.]

So this must be one of those experiments, huh? It sure seems like a lot of weird stuff's going on lately. Is everyone doing okay?

[A beat.]

And what kind of experiment is this, anyway? Some people are acting weird, others are turning into kids, but the guide made it sound like only one thing happens at a time.

[And with his message out of the way, Ventus will be out and about. Why? In part it's because of the snow; it's something he's not entirely used to, after all, but he's also in a rather good mood. Yes, even when there's a crazy experiment going on.

So as he heads out to find a good spot to derp around in the snow, he spontaneously starts singing with a spring in his step. Yes, this includes instrumentation.]

Tell everybody I'm on my way
New friends and new places to see
With blue skies ahead
Yes I'm on my way
And there's nowhere else that I'd rather be

Tell everybody I'm on my way
And I'm lovin' every step I take
With the sun beating down
Yes I'm on my way
And I can't keep this smile off my face

( Cut for lyric length! )

[And at this point he stops and scratches his head. Ven's never really made a habit out of singing; the fact that he just burst into song on his way through the village is just a little embarrassing as a result. On the positive side, he's made it over to the forest's edge, where there's plenty of room to build something in the snow. So, after a bit of sheepish laughter, he puts his journal down and starts building the foundation for some kind of snow fort.]

[ooc: Extremely belated because it took me forever to find a song for this kiddo. Open to voice or action comments! And as a side note, expect him to randomly sing Disney songs when it fits. Ekeke.]
