[ The feed comes on with a loud tap as the blonde boy fidgets with the device. ] -- turn it on? Maybe this button.. [ the feed cuts short.

a few moments later, it turns back on again, and Ventus is grinning triumphantly. ]

So that's how you do it! [ after a pause, he lifts one hand from the communicator, leaving it at a slanted angle as he waves. ]

Hi! I'm looking for some people. A guy with brown hair, wearing clothes that are similar to mine, and about ye tall -- [ As he moves his hand, the camera tilts again, showing - not the hand that roughly judged his companion's height, but Vanitas, standing on the roof of a building close behind Ventus. As if on cue, he shifts, takes a step forward-- and jumps off of it and onto the ground a few feet behind Ventus. ]

There you are, Ventus. I’ve been looking for you. [ He raises some weird looking sword, swinging it forward.

Ventus moves out of the way sharply, communicator dropping to the ground as he pulls out his own odd looking sword. It is then that the feed times out. ]

Alright.

Please tell me what you meant by "weirder".

[ too bad tones don't carry over text. ]

[ Maybe it's good that they don't. This way Roxas can't hear any patronizing sarcasm. ]

The curses, for starters. Strange things happen to people here and you can't predict what it'll be.

And sometimes people leave and come back without remembering anything.

And the barrier?

There's no way to leave on purpose.

Not yet.

If you think you can find one when no one else has for years, go ahead.

Maybe they're all just weak.

That's not really how it works.

Roxas, huh?

Wielder of not one, but two keyblades. Know anyone else with that skill, or are you just special.

[Don't forget wearer of your other half's face!]

You think I'm special? That's nice of you to say.

[ he's getting there. ]

That face of yours definitely isn't special. There must be some part of you that is, right?

Unless you're just as idiotic and unspecial as the other one who has that face.

Hey!

Leave Roxas alone! And for that matter, there's nothing wrong with my face!

It's stupid.

Just like the rest of you.

Doesn't that include you, too?

You and I are two separate beings.

I'm nothing like you at all.

Yeah we are, but you still came from me, didn't you?

I'm the only good thing you've ever had inside that stupid heart of yours.

If that's what you call good, I'd hate to see your definition of bad.

That'd be you, Ventus.

Pathetic, ignorant, stupid. How much worse could you get?

No matter what you say, I'm not as bad as you.

I have friends, friends that'll back me up and support me just like I help them. What do you have, Vanitas?

Where are your friends?

They're always with me! Even if they're not physically here. I can feel them in my heart.

The correct answer is: they're gone. They're not here to protect and coddle you anymore.

That bothers you. You feel terrible about it. All alone without those idiots backing you up at every twist and turn. They're your weakness.

I don't have one.

I'm not alone, and they're not my weakness.

[ He stops, glaring at the words as if he could will them to be true, and then he realizes that the pain in his jaw is from grinding his teeth. It takes all of his willpower to stop, and even then, he's still glaring. ]

If that's all you have to say, I'm done talking.
