On finally acting on an expired reserve... whoops.

[ressentiment]

You have got to be kidding me.

So not only are you deciding to bring me to this tower with not just one Real Thing, but neither of them are the one I know and the friend I have from this "reality" you decided on won't even remember me? Is this your sick attempt at a joke?!

...Whatever. Go right ahead and do what you want. I don't have to respond if you keep this up, anyway.

[A long pause.]



...It was bad enough when he was the only one who'd forget me.

Comments

[drknss_bnd_lght]

... Uh.. Sorry.

[ressentiment]

[...Shit. He hadn't really thought what he was saying in the thought that Ven would actually hear it, so to see him like this- welp. He's reeling back the anger, because like hell does he need to be scarred farther by the dark.]

...It's alright. Not like it's your fault, Ventus.

[drknss_bnd_lght]

[Not like it would matter, given what his mun's just put him though and has planned for him, sob.]

... I still feel horrible though.

[ressentiment]

[Probably why his mun's at least attempting to give a damn by sending someone who knows them feels, but not like he'd see it right now- he's still rather mad and hurt that something like this would even happen in the first place.]

... We can create new memories. It helped with these fake ones, right? [Sweet boundary between darkness and light, he sucks at being the positive one. At least thinking fast comes "naturally"?]

[drknss_bnd_lght]

[You don't suck at all. :|] Yea. We can.

New memories.... That'd be nice.

[ressentiment]

[Yes he does, mun's pulling him from just as he's punching DiZ in the face for "kind of' being an *bleeeeeeeeep*. :|]

You won't be alone there for long, alright? [Ventus, how did the youngest end up being the "Team Dad" again? AND WHAT DOES IT EVEN MEAN?]

[drknss_bnd_lght]

[..you mean you don't actually get to land a punch on him? For shame mun, for shame.]

..Yea. [Probably because you are the most suited for that part, actually. And then a forced smile. Ventus, you really ain't fooling anyone.] Though... Be careful. his look-a-like is here.

[Should be easy to tell who he means, even how Ventus is tensing.]

[ressentiment]

[Maybe he'll get lucky and she'll change her mind. ...Big maybe, there.

At that news, however, his blood runs cold. Him... Vanitas? A Vanitas is there? He can probably hear his fists clenching because of his gloves. He is livid.]

...I will. Don't worry about me. [He's more concerned about you, given the track record with theirs.] -but don't think you can get away with being a doormat for that guy, either.

[Because he will try to protect you, anyway. ...Yep, Team Dad alright.]

[drknss_bnd_lght]

[Hopefully. But maybe Rep can make a dart bord with DiZ's face on it?

Yep - he can hear that, too. It gets a worried swallow.] ... Uh. Yea.

[Sob. it's too late. He's already had a run-in and hdshlkj. At least it wasn't theirs, that would been all kinds of Very Bad News.] ...Yea. Ok.

..There's umm. A lot of look-a-likes.

[ressentiment]

[Or "maybe" both. BI

He doesn't say anything, but he does relax a bit soon enough. Sigh. Just can't let you go anywhere without them, huh.]

...Ventus. [What aren't you telling him, man? But go on and continue.]

[drknss_bnd_lght]

[....He actually hasn't gotten into that much trouble. Just..run into some questionable people. Master Xehanort for one-.]

Uh...[A small squirm at the tone. Also, hello there resentment and bitterness as nope. still not over those Issues.] There's look-a-likes of them. Terra. Aqua. Eraqus. And ... me.

[Bitter bitter bitter as hell.]

..That I know of.

[ressentiment]

[He will still forever worry be concerned, knowing how that usually ends up...]

...Really? [He isn't questioning it really, just in a bit of surprise. Knowing how that goes in their reality... nope, can't blame him for the bitterness.] Ugh, this is ridiculous.

[drknss_bnd_lght]

[A nod.] Yea.

... [Sob, he had no idea what to say now. that and he's not from the canon point where he's starting to ask the odd question sometimes.]
