☄ [Video] :: Location - Alpha Trion's Quadrant: Farming Area

[In the background, one can hear the sound of Lea the rooster crowing. Ventus is just glad he's not trying to attack his feet. Besides, he's a little preoccupied with other things.]

Heh! Easy now!

[The boy laughs as fuzzy little chicks swarm about his feet. Nearby are the three hens he'd received from Christmas. Very carefully, Ventus tries to step around the peeping yellow and brown masses, and it's then that he looks towards his Link, noticing that it's on.

Blinking, he offers a sheepish smile.]

Comments

[happyduckbutt]

Yep! Mainly a weapon, but we can unlock almost anything with it too.

[raceme]

But...it's giant. It can't fit in many places?

[happyduckbutt]

[He laughs.]

Oh! It doesn't have to! I just sort of...point it and then it does the trick. Or for things like chests, sometimes I can just tap it against the top and they'll open too.

[raceme]

Ohhhhhhh OKAY that's very useful. Maybe you should bring that thing to the junkpile more often to see if you fin something interesting there. Only you can use it?

[happyduckbutt]

I bring it with me pretty much everywhere, so that won't be a problem.

[Nod.] Yeah. I don't think it'll work for anyone who isn't chosen by a keyblade.

[raceme]

I see. That's really interesting. [Also sounds a bit like the Matrix.] How did you know you where chose?

[happyduckbutt]

I...

Actually, I don't know. I can't remember how I became chosen.

[raceme]

You were little?

[happyduckbutt]

[He shakes his head.]

No, it's not that. I just can't remember much of my past. I remember being brought to the Land of Departure, where I met Master Eraqus and Aqua and Terra. Anything before that...

[raceme]

The Land of Departure...that's quite the name. Do you remember your creators at least? [Your parents, he means.]

[happyduckbutt]

[There's a blink at that as he takes a moment to figure what Blurr's asking him. Slowly he shakes his head again.]

...no, I can't say I do.

[raceme]

Oh.

...

I'm sorry.

[happyduckbutt]

Ah, it's okay. I...don't really feel bad about it. I haven't let myself focus too much on what I can't remember.

[raceme]

If it's of any consolation, my kind doesn't have parents either. Not in the traditional sense at least.

[happyduckbutt]

How does that work for you, then?

[raceme]

My kind don't worry too much about those things, actually. Probably that's why friends and teammates are so important to us.

[happyduckbutt]

I see.

...I guess right now, that's kind of how things have been with me. I never really worried too much about what I couldn't remember because I had friends that were with me, and no matter what happens, I know that we can get through anything.

...even...if they aren't here with me right now.

[raceme]

[Aww Ventus. Blurr wishes he could help somehow.] They must be thinking of you too, I'm sure.

You can make more friends here, right? I would like to be your friend.

[happyduckbutt]

[He smiles, nodding.] I'm definitely thinking of them, anyway.

I'd like that, Blurr. I've been making a lot of new friends here, so it's kind of impossible to be lonely.

[raceme]

That's good.

[Blurr thinks it's still possible, but he's not going to say that to Ventus. He wants to cheer him up.] Imgladyouagree.

[happyduckbutt]

[Well, he did say "kind of impossible" because it's better than saying flat out otherwise.]

Heh! So you know, if you ever need any help or something, just say!

[raceme]

[Fair point.]

I will. Thanks Ventus.

[happyduckbutt]

[All smiles here.]
