[The feed comes on to a finger poking the view, as if unsure it's on. It stops quickly though, and Ven's face comes on to view, looking pleased.]

There, it's working! Hey, um, I'm Ven! That lady told me I could use this for communication, so I'm trying it out. I know there are a lot of us around here and it's not just me, and people have been finding people they know from their own worlds. So I really appreciate it if you could help me out with this.



[Ven holds up a picture to the camera.]



I'm trying to look for my friends. The one with the brown hair is Terra, he usually wears a black shirt with big brown pants. The other is a girl named Aqua, she's got blue hair. Both of them are older than me.

[The picture gets taken away, and he points to the insignia on his chest.]

They both got this too. If you've seen them around, tell me, alright?

Oh and...

[He glances off screen to dig behind him for another piece of paper. Behold, another piece of art.]



[I hope you are all imagining that red hula skirt fairly well.]

If any of you see this guy in black wearing a black helmet, stay away from him, he's really dangerous.

[It gets put aside and Ven nods with a sheepish grin.]

I guess that's it. Thanks, guys.

[Give him a second to look over those doodles. They're... kinda funny, but Sonic's not gonna tease him over it. Not like he's a great artist, either.

But after a second or two, he'll smirk and cross his arms.]

I've seen all three of 'em, even the dude with the lame body suit.

You did?! Really? Where did you see them?

[Terra has been hanging out more on the Network, ever since reuniting with Aqua thanks to it, hoping to eventually find Ven as well... despite what Aqua may probably eventually tell him in their thread.

And he seems that he's been right to hope; he sighs in relief, so, so glad to see that the youngest member of their trio was alright after-]

[...Bro. What's that picture?

He so does not look like that. Neither does Aqua. Granted, he probably couldn't do that much better, but that's not the point.]

[That picture of Vanitas on the other hand...]

[Video] (4/4) OKAY I'M DONE NOW.

[powerforfriends.livejournal.com]

[Anyway, he should probably say something, shouldn't he?]

We are here, Ven.

[He needs a moment to think. Because it looks like a Roxas, and sounds like a Roxas and therefore, makes him hate this place even more. First the guy that sounds like Sora, and now some Roxas-but-not-Roxas?

Riku's not sure if this is something he should believe in, or if it's a trick of the gods.]

They're both here. If they're friends of yours, they'll probably be looking for you too.

[reversegrip.livejournal.com]

Mm, looks like it. All of them are here, which I'm kind of worried about.

[Including Mr. Helmethead there. Ven frowns, but nods, a slight pout to it.]

I'm still a little confused about as to why we're here in the first place.

[verifies]

You might want to work on your drawings a bit more before showing them to others...

[reversegrip.livejournal.com]

[Oh, Souji. Ven wilts a bit at that, frowning at his drawing.]

I haven't been really good at drawing. And I guess I was just in a hurry. Now that I look at it, it's kinda bad, huh?

[songspieler.livejournal.com]

[ lucille's completely amused at this but hey, it doesn't show. except maybe with that smile.

but it's a friendly smile anyway. ]

I don't think I've seen them if those are accurate portrayals, no. [ headtilts. ] That Terra guy looks grumpy.

[reversegrip.livejournal.com]

[Ven glances back at his drawing, rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly.]

... well, sometimes he's like that. He's usually serious, but he's really nice.

this is not here; (<

[showmeanguish.livejournal.com]

you are such a creeper;

[reversegrip.livejournal.com]

[Do you like the red hula skirt. Do you. I promise, I'll draw you a better one next time. With flowers and a bikini top and a beach and everything.]

[aeterno_arma]

[Ventus, you are really talented.]Oh, the last one is wearing a helmet? Wat's that red thing? A belt?

[reversegrip.livejournal.com]

Uh, no.

... actually the best description I can give you is that it's a cape that just... covers his butt.

[He knows it sounds weird, okay, Souji made him realize how complicated Square enix clothing is.]

[Naminé's been doing her best to keep an eye on the network, so it's not surprising that she saw this, and... well, frankly, it's quite a surprising discovery - not the discovery that Ven's art looks like that, but the discovery that he's here at all. She isn't quite sure what to make of it; at first, it's difficult to even convince herself that he's not really Roxas with an oddly relevant change of clothes, but the drawings make it much easier, since Roxas has no reason to ask for those people. Whatever's going on, she's not sure she likes it, but at the same time, she's happy-- rather, as happy as she's capable of being, for him, that he's woken up. Now, if only she can figure out what the implications of that are, since she was previously fairly certain it wouldn't be possible without assistance. Maybe the gods just like to play tricks.]

[She kind of wants to ask him what's going on, but she's not so sure how to start, or if she even should - having someone randomly ask you questions no one should know to ask is not exactly condusive to cooperation. So, instead,]

I think the woman is here.

[At least, if what she's seen of the network is any indication. That discovery was startling enough when it was made, but she hadn't expected anyone else from that era to show up, and especially not Ventus.]

[This will take a while, he just discovered the text function!]

Really? Where did you last see her?

voice. wow this is so late, i'm sorry.

[soflattered.livejournal.com]

[ o....h.... well this is kinda awkward, so axel is never, ever more grateful for the voice option than he is right now. keep it chill, axel. keep it ice cold. ]

Heeeeey, I think I know that girl.

voice. it's okay, I'm later

[reversegrip.livejournal.com]

[THIS IS A VERY FAMILIAR VOICE and he does a double take when he hears it, but figures it could be just coincidence.]

Aqua? So you talked to her?

video; gonna be slow cuz of finals ;;

[brightcrest.livejournal.com]

[Oh, there he is! And-- ]

[brightcrest.livejournal.com]

[...What the heck is that drawing even, Ventus.]

[brightcrest.livejournal.com]

[Oh, it doesn't matter. She's just glad to see him and to see he's all right.]

We're here, Ven. Don't worry.

[video]

[8rutal.livejournal.com]

Hey, aren't you that kid who told me he died?

[ No Vriska that was Roxas. OH WELL. Her eyes immediately go to the drawing of Vanitas. It's so bad, but the description is a little more familiar. ]

Also, black in a black helmet is a little vague! Could you be a little more ........ specific?

[video]

[reversegrip.livejournal.com]

... I did? Uh, I don't remember tallking to you though. I just got here.

[He'd probably remember if he talked to a girl with grey skin and. Are those horns that are colored like candy corn. He might be staring a little. Just a little. He's not new to aliens.]

That's the best I can describe him. Black suit with red streaks on it. He never takes his helmet off, and I think it was just decided that the best description to add to that is that he wears a cape that covers only his butt.

[An ass cape, Vris.]
