...but his definitely did.

Characters: Ienzo and you.
Setting: Room 1-12 and surrounding area; backdated to whenever people first got their rewards
Format: Starting in action, but I'll do whatever.
Summary: Ienzo gets a super-cute purple thing as his reward and thusly proceeds to flip the fuck out.
Warnings: Extremely repetitive icon usage.



[Whatever unfortunate schmuck who happens to be walking around the first dorm level today will notice Ienzo walking down the hall, minding his own business. He opens the door, also minding his own business. By this point, the unfortunate schmuck may have turned away because, whatever, it's just some kid who never talks.]

[The unfortunate schmuck will be repaid with a LOUD, SHRILL SCREAM.]

[He does this for a full five seconds before slamming the door shut and pretty much standing there going 'oh shit oh shit oh shit'.]

[Enjoy your present, Ienzo!]

...i don't know. [He shakes his head.] ...we should check... it won't do to just sit in here, just in case it is... still there... [He clearly isn't very excited about this idea.]

[lethechained.livejournal.com]

[Neither is she. She bites her lip for a moment; one of them's got to do it, and although she still doesn't trust him... she's not about to make him do it.] I'll... take a look. [And here's hoping she doesn't regret it later. Brb opening the door juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuust a crack to try to peek outside.]

[tempustemporum.livejournal.com]

[The hallway is deserted. Apparently the Flood lost interest and went to go explore some other parts of the tower.]

[lethechained.livejournal.com]

[Well, that was successful.] I think it's gone.

[tempustemporum.livejournal.com]

... [He waits for a few more seconds, to make sure that the Flood doesn't ust pop out at a random moment, and once he's sure that the thing is actually gone... well, let's just say he's noticeably feeling better and back to his usual state.] ...good... thank you.

[lethechained.livejournal.com]

[She twists to look at him when he thanks her, pauses, then nods ever so slightly.] You're welcome.

--We should probably hurry in case it comes back.

[tempustemporum.livejournal.com]

...yes. let's go. [He nods, leaning slightly to one side in order to catch a glimpse of the hallway; and as Naminé promised, it seemed to be empty.]

/bothers Plus

[lethechained.livejournal.com]

[She takes a look both ways again to make sure nothing changed before briskly walking towards the room Ven and Roxas both stay in. Fortunately, it's right next door.]

[tempustemporum.livejournal.com]

[Convenience!]

[Ienzo follows closely behind her, probably without even realizing it. He tends to trail people around a lot.]

[lethechained.livejournal.com]

[All of the convenience, yes. She hesitates juuust a moment before knocking on the door. Here's hoping he's not still upset.]

[f0rceless.livejournal.com]

[A moment or so of silence and Ven had hurried over to open the door, visibly jumping when he saw Naminé before he noticed Ienzo was there too.]

Uh...hello?

[Maybe just a little upset]

[tempustemporum.livejournal.com]

[Welp. From the way Ventus had reacted when he opened the door, it seemed that he wasn't exactly pleased to see Naminé. He didn't particularly want to pry into their situation, so he (for once) spoke first, regardless of how the confession was going to affect his ego.] ...ventus, we need your help.

[lethechained.livejournal.com]

[Naminé can't help wilting a little, and it's much worse on the inside than it looks on the outside. So Ven is still upset. Just as well - she deserves as much. It'll probably be better for him in the long run, too. She bites her lip slightly for a moment, trying to figure out what to say, but Ienzo does it for her. She's surprised, but quite relieved, so she just nods to confirm what he's said.]

[f0rceless.livejournal.com]

[Ven glanced a way a moment and rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly. He knew he had freaked out pretty badly, and admittedly, at this point he wasn't sure how much of it was her and how much of it was because of that experiment.]

Hm? Help? [That was a welcome distraction though!] Help with what?

[tempustemporum.livejournal.com]

...do you... recall those monsters... in radiant garden...?

[lethechained.livejournal.com]

[Naminé's just going to try to stick to feeling relieved that Ienzo's doing the talking for once and very decidedly not look at either of them. Clearly someone should be watching out to make sure they don't get ambushed by Unversed and that someone should be her.]

[f0rceless.livejournal.com]

The Unversed? [How could he not recall them, really.] What about them?

[tempustemporum.livejournal.com]

...one of them is... roaming the tower. [He's hoping desperately that Ventus didn't hear the blood-curdling scream that had erupted a few minutes ago -- or, if he did, that he didn't make the connection. Hey, he was raised by Even, saving face is in his nature.]

[lethechained.livejournal.com]

[Ienzo, screaming like a little girl is probably the appropriate response in that situation--]

[She's going to look back at them for this part because one can stare down an empty hallway for only so long and she kind of wants to see Ven's reaction. It doesn't sound like it came from his room judging by the way he's acting but she kind of wants to see if he suspects her of this, too.]

[f0rceless.livejournal.com]

[You guys are wimps, Vent spent a whole game fighting those things and didn't scream like a girl Worry not Ienzo, it seems Ven either didn't hear the scream, or didn't realize it was yours.]

An Unversed in the tower?! [He'll figure out the hows-and-whys later! Needless to say, they needn't say more, as he gave a nod.] Do you guys know where it went?

[tempustemporum.livejournal.com]

[Yes, yes they are. Ienzo shakes his head, grimacing.] ...it was here a few minutes ago... but we didn't see where it went. [There is so much withholding of truth in this conversation, it's almost painful.]

[lethechained.livejournal.com]

[Hey, do you want to run into an Unversed without a weapon and in sandals and a dress, huh Ven huh? Sandals are not combat appropriate footware. Being a bitty is also not combat-appropriate.]

[Welp, she's relieved she isn't the automatic first suspect, at least for now. Don't mind her little sigh over here.]

[f0rceless.livejournal.com]

[Fine he'll do all the heavy lifting geez.]

[Ven stepped out into the hallway with Ienzo and Naminé, closing the door behind him. He held out his hand to summon Stormfall in a flourish of light, before he stopped to think.] Hm.... I wonder....

[He closed his eyes and concentrated for a bit. Vanitas was still part of him, right...? Maybe if he tried hard enough he'd be able to tell where it was..]

GOIN' ON AN UNVERSED ADVENTURE, TO SEE WHAT WE CAN SEE~

[tempustemporum.livejournal.com]

[At this very moment, the Unversed is scuttling around on the second dormitory level, almost directly above them. While Ventus uses his Spidey senses, Ienzo stands there and waits, watching him.]

[lethechained.livejournal.com]

[Naminé backs up juuuust a bit to make sure that Ven has plenty of room in the hallway. The appearance of the Keyblade definitely catches her attention, mostly because it's the wrong one. She sucks in a breath out of surprise, immediately thinking back to her recent contact with Aqua, who was also using a different Keyblade. Huh. Something's going on, but she's not sure what happened. When Ven speaks she looks up again and-- okay, what's that eye closing for? She blinks, then eyes him closely for a moment. Go go Spidey senses?]
