Hey.

[ ventus looks -- well, not unhappy, per se, but he doesn't look completely composed either. It's as if he.. doesn't really know how to feel, and it's especially apparent in his expression. ]

So.. I dunno if you guys know him, but uh...

[ he rubs at his neck, glancing away. ]

Vanitas. He's.. gone. [ disappeared from the City completely. ]



Yeah.

Comments

[binarysky]

Probably. Sorry.

Are you gonna be okay?

[conjoins]

It's okay.

Yeah, I'll be fine. [ and .. for a lighter turn of conversation: ] So, Christmas is just around the corner, huh?

[binarysky]

Uh, yeah! [ good topic! ] It should be pretty fun. The third one I've ever had.

[conjoins]

Really? I guess it'll be my... [ thinking.. ] Fifth. And it'll be great!

I'm still trying to think of a present to give to Sora, though. Got any ideas? You've known him longer than I have.

[binarysky]

[ Our memories are so short, though. ]

He's a really good guy—he'll be happy with anything from a friend.

But, hmm...he's from an island originally, he likes ice cream a lot...and napping...and his cats...

[conjoins]

[ well.... ]

A cat.. Humm. I guess I'll stick with my original plan after all...

[binarysky]

Two, actually.

What was your idea?

[conjoins]

Well, I figured I couldn't go wrong with ice cream.

[binarysky]

That's not a bad idea. We eat it a lot, but then we don't have it anymore. So he can always use more.

[conjoins]

That's what I thought.

You know, maybe you two should work at an ice cream shop together. Then you'd never run out.

[binarysky]

We might not ever get any work done, though...

[conjoins]

.. You can't be eating ice cream the whole time... [ s-stomachaches!? ]

[binarysky]

Yeah, but still...I don't know if ice cream should be work.

[conjoins]

.. Yeah, that's true. Even you two would probably get sick of it after working five days a week with ice cream.

[binarysky]

And it'd be terrible to get sick of ice cream.

[conjoins]

I don't think you guys would be able to recover from it.

[binarysky]

It's better to not have to find out.

[conjoins]

The world would probably end if we do find out.

[binarysky]

And this world has our pets in it. So that would be a shame.

[conjoins]

Definitely.

[ thinking. . . ]

Maybe I should get one. A pet. The apartment's kind of lonely.

oop I thought I replied

[binarysky]

Yeah...

[He hesitates] Have you ever thought of living with someone?

[conjoins]

[ pausing at the question.. ]

Living with someone?

I guess I wouldn't mind. [ he sort of did, when he lived with Aqua and Terra.. ]

[binarysky]

You could live with us. If you wanted.

We've got some extra rooms...and it'd be cool to have you around.

[ Also we are OBVIOUSLY SOME SORT OF WEIRD...FACE-BROTHERS. FAMILY STICKS TOGETHER. ]

[conjoins]

[ ... oh. ]

Oh. [ rubbing at his neck. ] That--

That'd be cool. I mean, if you 'n Sora are okay with it.

[binarysky]

Yeah, it'd be fine—Demyx lived with us before, and if he and Sora could get along, you and Sora would be fine.

[ Neither of you killed the other one! ]

Er...long story. But there's plenty of room. And you wouldn't get lonely.

But only if you want to! If you don't, that's okay.

[conjoins]

They didn't get along? [ he doesn't know Demyx personally, but that makes him raise an eyebrow. just from what he'd heard of the man, he thought the two of them would get along better than Roxas would with Demyx... ]

No, I-- I'm cool with it. I think it's a great idea. Housemates are cool, y'know?

[binarysky]

They didn't fight or anything, but before they both ended up in the City, they weren't really on the same side. So it got a little awkward sometimes.

Well-—well, great! You can bring your stuff over anytime. [Man, he should definitely let Sora know, then.

[conjoins]

.. Oh. [ that does sound awkward. ]

Sure, I don't really have a lot to bring -- uhh, where is it again?

[binarysky]

Building Thirteen. [More specific directions go HERE]

The pets will be glad to make a new friend.

[conjoins]

[ nodding! he'll probably end up getting lost BUT. ]

I hope they don't get us confused.
