star_kingdom | ≋ The Opposite of Pure Light is... [KH BBS spoiler warning, Video/Action for the Coliseum]

[Ven hadn't chosen to get too close to the portal, but there'd been a battle with some Heartless and he just hadn't noticed that one was there when he rolled to dodge. He'd ended up rolling right into it, and there's almost a low, echoing clap of thunder in the background when he does.]

[When he comes out, he's splayed on his back... and while he still looks like Ven, at least at first, he's dressed in completely different clothing and yeah, that giant Keyblade? That big shiny thing that looks like it shouldn't exist? Well, it does, and he's holding it. Perhaps the worst of it all is, the Heartless that he was fighting earlier have stopped chasing him and are just standing in a ring around him, almost like soldiers at attention. His communicator had fallen out of his pocket before he dodged and turned itself on, so all of this is being broadcast from the Coliseum as well.]

[It's only a couple of moments before his eyes snap open and he springs to his feet, and Ven is athletic and acrobatic but this guy takes it to a whole new level. He raises the χ-blade and stares at it for a moment, then brings his free hand to his head as if there's something missing (and there is) and pats his hair - and then breaks into an absolutely creepy slasher smile, clenching his fingers into a tight fist and then out again.]

Looks like the idiot finally lost. [His voice is also different, double-layered and much more casual, cruel, and even deeper - the top layer's definitely Ven, the bottom, stronger layer is not. That smile only widens when he notices the Heartless standing nearby.] And to think - he actually did something useful and got me some new toys.

This is going to be fun.

((ooc: It's Ventus-Vanitas time (aka Venitas for brevity) and he is NOT going to play nicely! Replies from

No, Vanitas. You were able to get the boy to make the blade!

[That psychotic smile hasn't gone away.]

Get? No. Force... [And he starts to laugh, low.]

[ he starts to chuckle along with him ]

That's great...

So now that we've got this... [Holding up the χ-blade, flexing his fingers on the handle.] I'd say we've got some work to do.

Yes and with both of our new bodies, it should be a lot more entertaining.

So where should we start?

[he has ideas of his own...]

[ and he'll ask for them! ]

Where do you think we should start?

[That smile widens to completely absurd proportions and it's clear he's not grinning out of happiness at all. Sadism and madness is the key here.]

Their hearts - the world of their hearts, their home. Take it, and you take their reason for being, the center of their universe. And make them watch as they lose it, unable to stop anything through their own impotence.

But first... Watch them struggle in futility as worlds they're sworn to protect are corrupted and extinguished. With the Unversed as well as the Heartless, it will be easy to do so.

I always did enjoy your thinking, Vanitas.

I believe...we should start with a place that the people have come to think as a sanctuary. We've both been there quite a few times...

Radiant Garden.

What else would be more appropriate. Perhaps that meddlesome girl will be there, too.

[Oh, he owes her. He owes her so badly.]

Oh yes... I'm sure you'd like to hurt her the most.

No one gets to do what she did and live.

[He's deadly serious about that.]

I agree, Vanitas. She isn't very useful to begin with.

I will make sure that you get your revenge. She won't get away this time.
