Who: Ven and anyone!
Where: The park
When: Afternoon-ish?
Style: Whichever
Status: Open!

A good question, because there was a very short, very lanky blond boy asleep in the park. He lay sprawled out, limbs akimbo and mouth open while he snored none too silently. Years and years ago his friends would've called him a hopeless sleepyhead. Nothing had changed since then at all, except that his slumber was deeper than any he'd partaken of in the past. Not to mention dreamless. And he was shivering thanks to it still being a little too cool outside for a t-shirt.

Not very fun. So if anyone wanted to prank him while he was asleep, he wouldn't notice a thing.

Until he woke up, anyway. Luckily for anyone thinking of it, Ven was a heavy sleeper.

Ruca sighed a bit relieved. He really didn't mean to startle the other, but at least now he was awake.

"This place is called Vatheon... I know it might sound weird, but we were brought here by a coral and can't leave this world."

Even after saying it so many times, Ruca still thought it was a strange thing to hear, especially when you wake up in an unknown place.

"Me? Um, I'm Ruca. It's... nice to meet you."

[ex_ventus850]

A million and one questions raced through Ven's mind when Ruca was done talking. There were people here from other worlds? That meant something bad... very bad had to have happened to the Realm of Light, right? And some coral had something to do with it. By this point, he was really confused by the things he was hearing.

"We can leave," he started off slowly, very aware of the World Order and how it'd basically been shot to smithereens.

"And I've got a way to do it. But I don't know how everyone would survive the kind of darkness that's out there without protection."

He paused, and smiled. "I'm Ventus, but just call me Ven. S'nice to meet you."

[demonicbookworm]

Now Ruca looked confused.

"You do? But... "darkness"? What do you mean by that?"

He shook his head a little.

"Anyway there seems to be only one way to leave this world... This place sometimes sends people back home, but other than that we can't do anything to leave."

He nodded in acknowledgement when the other introduced himself.

"Oh... uh. Nothin'. I need to see if it'll work here first, anyway."

Given that Aqua was still here and she was a Master, Ven didn't know if it would. Because she'd have been out of here and lout there looking for Terra right away otherwise.

Ven shook his head, and sighed. "There has to be a way."

And he'd keep looking until he found it.

[demonicbookworm]

That did not answer any of Ruca's question. He gave Ven one more questing look, but eventually decided not to ask any more questions.

He sighed a little.

"There might be... but finding it definitely won't be easy. Some people have been stuck here for months." Like him.

[ex_ventus850]

No, it wouldn't. But Ven could hardly expound on the Lanes Between with a stranger. He hadn't even mentioned it to Riku yet.

And he had faith that they'd find a way.

"Probably won't be. But it's no less worth trying to do."

He blinked, surprised, and fisted one of his hands. "I'll get you home."

Somehow.

[demonicbookworm]

This guy... he wouldn't give up so easily, would he? For a moment Ruca found himself amazed by how much the other was optimistic about finding the way out of here.

"It definitely won't be easy..."

Ruca sighed and smiled a bit.

"...But thank you."
