Ven Strife

Back

2008-06-24T14:10:46Z

Hope I didn't worry my brothers while I was out for the weekend...At least I was able to get them a little something though. ~~Might make up for it, maybe. Some.~~

Thanks for going to town with me. I owe you one.

Note

2008-06-13T23:17:21Z

Roxas,

I'm going into town on an errand, I should be back in a couple of days. Sorry I didn't give you more notice but I wanted to take care of it sooner instead of later. Don't worry about me - Guy offered to come along so I'll be alright. Besides, I was still training with magic while my arm's been on the mend.

I'll miss you and look forward to seeing you when I'm back. Let's do something fun then, okay?

Love,

Ven

[ooc: This is a note Ven left on Roxas' bed. Roomies can happen upon it, and clearly Roxas can]

Why do I miss everything?

2008-06-04T15:10:57Z

Figures, I get too swamped and Roxas wakes up while I'm taking some exam. ~~Wish I could've been there when he did, or Axel even. Someone other than doctors to explain.~~ I'm so glad he's okay though, and I can't even say how much.

I...guess I'll have to explain my arm to him too. ~~Would've been nice if the doctors knew what it was. Looks so much like a burn.~~

Cloud, we should all do something, when you're back. Need to get Roxas up to date on hugs too.

[ooc: Alright, first strikes, anyone can get to, second set Cloud and Roxas can't see. Consider Ven back while I keysmash. Shiiiiini, clout me next time I miss something so important D:]

...Ow.

[ooc: Mmyep. Ven's arm is just hurting a bunch so that's what he managed.]

...

2008-04-29T05:06:27Z

Roxas isn't up yet. I hope he is soon though; really weird not to see him smile for so long. He's still stable, thankfully, so...I'll just keep being here for him.

Thanks again for taking care of Mia and Quisty, Fayt.

I don't want to worry Cloud about this so, I'm not...sure who else to ask about this...

It started burning, under my cast. Nothing can touch my arm under it that I'm aware of, but it's still...I don't think it's supposed to hurt like that. And I can't exactly get a look at my arm while it's healing.

Have you heard of anything like that?

Hey Cloud...

2008-04-23T13:50:18Z

I was thinking earlier about when we were little, and...

Do you remember the game we all used to play?

[ooc: ♥ Cloe since we both like, fail at getting into that log I thought I'd like, try and veer us in that direction.]

Private to Axel

2008-04-17T11:03:50Z

Being around you as much as I have been because of Roxas' condition, I've been thinking a lot. A variety of things have been going through my mind but it was only after Ichijou got me to stop worrying so much that I thought about this in particular.

I don't think Roxas had the time to tell you, since the destruction of Fenrir came so soon after, but... Um. A few weeks back I told him that I thought my feelings might not be normal. Seeing how people treated him here made me start to see that.

Even at the masquerade when I got kissed, I noticed then too.

I told Roxas I had feelings for him, the kind...well...the kind you have toward someone you'd want to date. He ran off and I couldn't blame him. I felt so bad about it that I...

Anyway.

He told me a little while before all this that he felt the same. So I guess we're seeing each other. I don't really care if anyone thinks it's weird as long as he can be happy.

I'm not sure if I really needed to or was supposed to explain that, because it's not really my point, and I didn't want to be the one telling you. I wanted to say I'm sorry I've been so rude to you all these years, because now I think I understand better, even a bit.

And also...I think you should still tell him, when he's up. He's never going to guess it or know those feelings existed otherwise. I don't think it'd be fair if you never spit it out. It's hard not saying anything and I got a sample of what that's like.

I don't really know why I wanted to say that. Maybe it's not fair of me or something. I just...my brothers are my world. Roxas will notice if something's not right with you, and he'll worry, and...after all this I just want him to be happy.

Sorry I can't express this better.

...

2008-04-13T09:01:08Z

I don't care if my arm is broken.

I'm going to kick your wife's ass, Cloud.

[ooc: Yes. Verius? Wife. Anyone says Cloud bottoms and Ven will assume they are a dirty liar.]

I really don't want to say 'it could be worse'...

2008-04-11T03:28:48Z

Roxas is at least in stable condition. My um, my arm's in a cast but I'm doing alright helping out at the infirmaty. At least this way I can stay with him. I just wish I could have protected him. He's my twin, and I'd finally said... and he...

It's a lot like suddenly not seeing the sunlight anymore.

Verius is here too. Looks like he's going to be alright, but with so much broken I'm not surprised Cloud's worried about him. You'd better make a full recovery, Verius. Cloud's not allowed to have so much stuff to worry about, you know.

And um...how are you doing, Cloud? You've been really quiet lately...

[ooc: Strikes hackable but it'd be a challenge.]

...

2008-04-01T04:33:31Z

*A voice crackles into audible volume, muted by something interfering* ...as!? Roxas, where -

*Then, a startled sound, rubble jostled about followed by a thud and a choked sound of pain. Some things clack against one another and someone draws a shaky breath*

...Roxas? Roxas, wake up!

Please, just... Just wake up... *Ven's voice trembles, obviously failing an effort not to cry* Roxas...

*silence*

...

2008-03-24T09:27:33Z

With so much going on lately, comparatively I haven't been doing much of anything. Gotten some studying done though, and spending time with Roxas is the best as always. Wish I saw Cloud around a bit more though. Maybe he's busy.

Think I'm going to work on training after classes. Doesn't seem like I've done enough lately. ~~Though I'm finding that DDR game of Roxas' is tiring...~~

I know I always say it, but...

2008-03-15T11:54:16Z

Love you, Roxas.

Sorry you were alone for a while.

...

2008-03-02T12:23:30Z

I'm sorry.

Belated

2008-02-19T08:44:01Z

Thanks for the presents, Roxas, Cloud, Sora, Silver, and Terra. Sorry I didn't get around to updating sooner, I've been trying to keep up with Mia lately. Seems she's figured out how to make things and she's making up for lost time...or something. ~~Where in the world did my left shoe go...~~

Anyhow, thanks you guys. I'm ~~not very good at this~~ thankful to have people around me that are so thoughtful. Not everyone does after all. ~~Shutting up now.~~

Hey Roxas, up for swapping places sometime this week? We haven't done that in a while.

[ooc: With the log ongoing, making note here of what Ven got Roxas, Cloud, and Verius for Valentine's Day.
Roxas: Silver cartouche necklace with Roxas' name and a three book fantasy series. (Also a wrist-band from Mia)
Cloud: A working model airship with a mini Cloud on it and a silver bracelet. He got somethin else too, but that's on Roxas' update.
Verius: A new arm-guard and a bracelet matching Cloud's.]

Shoot

2008-02-14T03:28:20Z

I can't believe I almost forgot!

Cloud, I'd like it if you and Verius would come up to our room early tomorrow morning for something. Would that be alright?

~~Man I'll be up so early... I hope I don't wake Roxas.~~

[ooc: Why yes, he's getting the happy couple up at the crack of dawn. For a worthy cause though! V-day~♥]

?

2008-02-13T06:27:27Z

Kupo!

...Ku..po? Kupopo kupo!

...

............

[ooc: Anything Ven says or types only comes out in kupos or variations thereof, much like his moogle~ And cuz Kaname said so, he's got a moogle pom too, though he's trying to hide it.]

This school is weird...

2008-02-09T13:16:51Z

It's a relief that Cloud didn't make it to the finals for that contest, though I feel bad that Kaname did. While I know it's supposed to be for fun it's hard to look at it like that when it bothers some as much as it does.

At least it's something that won't last forever ~~photographs aside...~~.

Got to see Cloud this morning along with Verius and Ky. Cloud seems to be happy, and now Ky's got his tea. Nice way to start the day off.

With Valentines Day coming up, I think I've got some shopping to do. Better get to that sooner rather than later. Roxas, do you need anything?

Mn...

2008-02-06T08:47:00Z

So far I've figured out the moogle is a girl, but I'm still not too sure on a name. I'm thinking of going out and getting some synth materials and trying to teach her (somehow) so she can at least fit in with moogles back home. I'm not...entirely sure how one teaches a moogle something they seem innately good at but I'll see what she does when there're raw materials around and go from there.

Not sure what the outcome of that contest will be, but I don't really want to vote for anyone. I'd never promote putting my brother in that situation but I can't say I want to do that to Kaname either. ~~I know I'd hate being stuck with that.~~

I picked up your tea the other day, Ky. I'll bring that by when I come see Cloud in the morning, if that works for you.

Also, Cloud... I wish you'd tell me things. Something like that is pretty important, don't you think?

Cloud's in the finals?

2008-01-31T04:26:41Z

...I'm finding this contest less and less amusing.

...

2008-01-25T07:22:14Z

It looks like both Cloud and Terra showed up. It's...nice to see them both here, finally. ~~Even if Terra was wandering around with a Struggle bat, of all things.~~ As soon as possible, I'll be sure to visit them both along with Roxas.

Classes were alright, although I think maybe I pulled something. ~~That was probably not from gym though. Doesn't seem too serious.~~

...Kadaj. My brother isn't a liar, and you'd better not try anything. I'm not sure what your problem is but I won't let you pull something with my brother. Neither of them, in case you ever wonder.

Where roommates are concerned, whoever's stealing Ichijou's things had better return them. There's no reason for petty thievery.

Anyhow, Roxas, if you'd like to go back to our room, that's fine with me. Whatever you'd prefer. Thanks again, Ky, for letting us stay with you for a couple of nights. If I can do anything to return the favor, let me know.

School time

2008-01-22T04:29:04Z

The first day of school wasn't too bad. Gym was nice, even if I'm a bit sore in places. Worse for me not to exercise than to do so, in the long run. I definitely have some areas to improve on so having a gym class is a good thing. Also have met some people over the weekend and I'm glad for that. ~~Guess I won't have to worry too much about getting along with people.~~

Thanks for sparring with me, Kaname. If you're up for trying weaponry sometime I'll show you what I can really do. I'll be working on my hand-to-hand skills as well, of course.

It seems since somehow Axel managed to lose a mattress there's another guy in our room, which brings the total up to six. If anyone else manages to cram in here I'll be surprised. I keep waiting to see what Kadaj might do about it. Guy seems territorial.

...Did the moogle just say "Oh shit" when it dropped a kupo nut? I blame you, Axel.

Does anyone know where I could drop off something for that Laguna guy? I hope he'll be alright after...whatever happened. Can't believe anyone would pull that kind of thing, and right at the beginning of the year. I don't get it.

[ooc: I know the sparring log's not done, but figured Ven would mention it.]

So...

2008-01-19T00:20:19Z

Since things have settled down now and some people are moved in, anyone up for sparring? Last thing I want is to get rusty during the school year. Practice is one thing but without a challenge it doesn't get far.

Lucky for someone Cloud's not here yet

2008-01-12T07:28:02Z

You seem alright, so I'll give you fair warning.

Touch my brother again and I will hurt you.

Edit:

I liked those socks...

2008-01-11T12:35:11Z

Apparenly if moolges decide they're desperate enough ~~I gave it a cookie half an hour ago, I swear~~ they'll start eating socks.

Or this one's just special.

I wouldn't mind that so much if I, well... didn't wear socks. And often at that. Guess these guys are voracious or something, or maybe it's because it's young and still growing. Whatever it is I'd better get on finding it something better to eat than my socks. That just can't be healthy.

Still not sure on a name but I'll figure that out eventually. Mostly worried since the last thing I named was the class rabbit in kindergarten and no one really appreciated something as uninspired as Fluffy. ~~At least it was applicable?~~

Also I think I forgot to say, but if you see something in town you want to bring back, feel free, Roxas. Might want to check with Ichijou and Mister Congeniality first though.

...

2008-01-09T08:08:30Z

Hey, Roxas, are you planning on going to that party? ~~Not sure I like the fact that there's going to be alcohol, but...~~ Thought I'd see since otherwise I'm not all that interested.

Wouldn't leave you alone ~~with Axel since I bet he'll be there~~ though.

Mostly done with unpacking, which went fine... At least until I found a moogle in some of the clothes I've packed. I'm not exactly sure what to do with the thing but I guess I'll figure it out. Anyone have a clue what they eat, or what to call it?

Also, nice meeting you, Ichijou and Kadaj.

[ooc: Strikes be gone.]
