Ventus

Backdated to late night on the 12th [Filtered from Vanitas//50% Unhackable]

[He doesn't know what to think right now. This is the third time recently that a friend's fallen victim to Vanitas. Thus, those listening to the journals will note that Ven sounds far angrier than usual. Angry and dead serious.]

I don't know how many of you guys heard Kairi's message, but something's happened to Xion. She's in really bad shape, all thanks to Vanitas.

And she's not the only one. A while back, Axel almost died because of him. Then Sora lost one of his wings, and Naoto got really hurt and lost her gun. He might not remember the χ-blade, but Vanitas is just as dangerous as he's always been.

And it's about time we did something about it.

Vanitas is really powerful, so whatever you do, don't go alone. That's what he'd want you to do. What we oughta do is get a group together. If you're friends with Xion, Naoto, Sora, or you just wanna help, just let me know. Maybe if we team up, we can settle this. [For now.]

And if the rest of you guys see somebody wearing a black and red suit, stay away from him. I don't want anyone else to get hurt, especially my friends.

July 13th, after the battle;

[Sometime after the fight, Ven addresses the journal again, sounding awfully uneasy. This whole situation was exhausting, and for once that bright spirit of his has been dampened a little.]

How're you supposed to stop somebody if they'll keep coming back? Somebody dangerous, who's not even scared of death.

[The actual fight log won't be going up until Saturday, but it'll be backdated to the 13th. Here is the plotting post for more information.]

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.]
