OPEN // night time on request.

Characters: AU Ventus and YOU
Setting: Any of the floors on the tower.
Format: Any
Summary: Ven's lost his ability to summon his keyblade and with monsters in the tower, he is a bit of a sitting duck due t that blindfold.
Warnings: None?


Day - anywhere. monster free.
[While he might feel heavy and tired after that check up, Ventus is still exploring, maping out everything that he can, trying to get a mental map. It's slow going and he pauses every so often to listen to whats around him, more so when he reaches a new floor. Part of him is still tense, expecting the worst to come. Or, if this is after a monster encounter, he's jumpy. Very jumpy.

He does not like being without his keyblade either, and his left hand keeps flexing, trying in vain to summon it.

Still, he will continue on his explorations - and try not to bump into anyone, but when you wear a blindfold and rely on sound?

Kinda hard to miss anyone who's stationary.]


At least once a day(night on request) - Monster noms.
[During the day, as Ventus is exploring, he will run into a daytime monster. While not too bad, mostly, there's a tiny problem.

Blind keyderp without keyblade is, more or less, a sitting target, While he will (and does) attack if attacked - he's hopeless without Wayward Wind. He's. Kinda getting his butt kicked. Sometimes badly, too.

While he can get away (And will if no one helps him), he could use the help, more so as some of the monsters... don't exactly walk or make a sound.]

uh-uh. /looks after YOU

[pitiedthefool]

[Isn't that bad, but it doesn't mean it couldn't get worse if someone didn't at least take care of the ones that don't make a sound. He knows that far too well, having tried to navigate the fog of his and the TV world blind once before. You need to get that fixed, by the way.]

...I'm fine. [Not quite a lie, but not quite the truth.] Just a little lightheaded.

[If he was reading that expression and sound, it was concern. Yet that doesn't truly help him at the moment. Besides, wasn't he helping this stranger right now? ...Ah, might as well introduce himself if they're going to fight together.] Yu Narukami.

Re: uh-uh. /looks after YOU

[drknss_bnd_lght]

[He really does.] Oh. Alright.

[A sigh. He...tried at least, though he's not going to try again. If the other thinks that he's fine, then Ventus will go along with that.

A blink then nod. Another name and voice to remember. His mental list was starting to get long, but Ventus could deal with it.] Ventus.

I.. Thank you, for helping. I... should be ok now. [Yea sure, and that's not an Archraven that's waiting some distance away ready to rip into you when you pass because your luck stats SUCK. ]

1/2

[pitiedthefool]

[He nods faintly, memorizing the name.]

Nice to meet you. [There's the bit of friendliness in his voice again, a warmth not as hidden in his voice.]

Mm. Don't worry about it, and you sure? [There's concern, yes, and a little worry. Because there are quite a few scratches and cuts. If he could just summon one Persona who knew how to heal, then-]

2/3 I lied...

[pitiedthefool]

[Something... doesn't feel right, even more than usual. He grimaces, seeing a bit of red and black from the corner of his vision before the ringing in his ears begins. he can't move his limbs, and that scares him... reminds him of when the Shadows first attacked him, Yosuke, and Teddie. All he can do is brace himself for it when suddenly-

I am thou. Thou art...I...

T-that voice. Was it-? Suddenly, he feels sleepy. No, he mustn't rest now, not when not just himself, but another was in danger and injured. It wasn't the time for...]

[pitiedthefool]

[His eyes open again, and they're glowing unseen by the one he can sense fears not just light, but the very sight he was created with. It both repulses and worries him greatly. Just what kind of hardships hast this soul endured, he wonders.

Perhaps he will ask of it later, or perhaps he will read this soul more closely later... but there is danger still, and the fact the one his power dwelt within could no longer control it was worrisome to say the least.]

I doubt the judgement of those who wouldst shield thine eyes.

[The voice is cold, commanding... yet shares similar traits to Yu's. It's almost strange how events occur, how many strings have been pulled... He stands even more firm in his stance, eyeing something in the distance in an almost bored manner. With a flick of the wrist, it bursts in flames.]

Perhaps thou wouldst wait until thou is in safety...?

[drknss_bnd_lght]

[Hardships that he was not meant to endure, that's for sure. Ventus's destiny took a very wrong turn somewhere down the road ten years ago. What should have been a bright - too bright - soul is now but a feeble light that is drowning in the (foreign) darkness that blankets it, carving out deep scars in it. Though that might be as there is nothing to taint - only scarx, and badly by agony, betrayals, half-truth of deceit and pain. Yet it still struggles to remain alive, as scared as it.

Hope is something that while he does not have a lot of, he still has, somewhere hidden in him. While he might do what other's want - default/doormat to them - He still has his own will and thoughts. Sadly, circumstances have burried most of that in darkness.

Though right now, Ventus is frozen on the spot, trying not to have a panic attack as WTF is going on, and while could ask, he... doesn't.] Uh... O-Ok.

[The fact that the voice is cold only makes his doormating worse - and it reminds him a bit of the man that he knew as 'Ansem'. At least in the coldness of tone; and those with cold tones tended to be allies of his 'keeper'. And while Vanitas wasn't here....

Maybe his allies were? Though, Ventus didn't think there was a voice like this in the allies... and the other sounded ok before.

Was it a lie?

Ventus wouldn't have been surprised if it had been. He was painfully used to being lied to now.] ..As you wish.

[HI. my name is Ventus. I am a doormat.]

[pitiedthefool]

[He can see this, though perhaps not as clearly as he'd wish in this form. "Yu" stares into where Ventus' eyes should be behind the cloth, almost pitying the human child. Such strife and conflict in his heart, not knowing which way to turn in this darkness of pain and misery... maybe wondering if there is indeed a way he could turn other than the path he's found himself forced upon. If he could shed light on this boy's path...

No, he is merely acting as a temporary relief for the time being. His vessel is the one who represents Hope for mankind's future, after all. Thus he stands tall, placing a hand over Ventus' shoulder, yet not touching for perhaps a very good reason. Confusion, panic... was it all because he took control momentarily?]

...Dost thou know thy way? [...His voice is still commanding as ever, though the irritation has ebbed away slightly in favor of a more fatherly(?) manner.

At least "Yu" knows what dream to cause for the boy before he awakens once more...]

[drknss_bnd_lght]

[There is no other way. The light simply abandons him time and time again, and while it hurts - It's all that Ventus really knows after a point.

It's a good thing there is no touch; Izanagi would have had panic and then even more a 'doll' to deal with.] Yea. I do.

[pitiedthefool]

[Well, this one isn't abandoning you any time soon. He does not have the same kind of gentleness the child does, though he is attempting to show a similar kindness by not allowing harm to come to the young man or his host.]

Lead thy way; I will make certain nothing causes thou harm.
