Okay... I think this might work! What do you think, Chirithy?

[ventus has the camera propped up against something on the counter as he mixes together what looks like the dry ingredients for cookies. there's some flour stuck to his cheek and chiirthy perched atop his head and precariously leaning forward to peer into the mixing bowl. it raises a paw, as if about to say something when it just

tumbles

into the dry mix, sending flour and whatnot up into the air like a giant white cloud. it hits ventus right in the face and the camera's edges are touched with flour. chirithy pops up out of the bowl and laughs a little sheepishly.

ventus just sighs.]

I think... I messed up somewhere along the way.



They taste okay at least???

It's the name for dream eaters where I'm from. They're known for eating the nightmares of children and giving them good rest.

[ so if chirithy is anything like a baku, well.. he's a wonderful friend to have indeed.

he scratches konnosuke's ears, but glances back up at the introduction. ] It's a pleasure to meet you, Ven. I'm afraid that I don't have a name to offer you in return, but.. I'm a saniwa, so you can call me that if you like.

[callmeven]

They waited for both of us.

[chirithy seems to deflate a little at vanitas' tone, but says nothing just yet.]

That hasn't changed.

[darkcharge]

[ Vanitas inclines his chin. As if to say "fine then. prove me wrong." He doesn't see how he can be wrong, but at least he is going to allow an opportunity. That's more than what he's done in the past at any rate. ]

[callmeven]

Yeah I can only imagine... having a rat steer you around by your hair feels kind of alarming.

Oh that would be awesome! Maybe if you come over you could use some of your Little Chef knowledge and we can make something that isn't completely burned too?

I don't, but Aqua does! She's really good at baking. Back home she used to make all sorts of amazing sweets. My favorite is her strawberry shortcake. It's the first thing I ate when I arrived to the Land of Departure.

[that's something he remembers, as fuzzy as it is.]

I don't remember anything from when we first met, but I know it's been a long time. Sorry, I wish I could tell you a better story than that.

text, probably action later--

[thundara]

You THINK so? Are you trying to burn down the building?

[Video]

[princessascended]

Oh does she? I had no idea!

[She's got a lot to learn about the woman who chose her to carry the Keyblade. Even if it was on accident.]

But you didn't ask her for help? Or a recipe, at least?

[callmeven]

[chirithy waves a paw, their face twisted minutely in concern.]

It's true! I couldn't wait for one without the other, after all. You're both equally important to me!

[ventus looks to vanitas with a sigh.]

hehehehehehehehe

[callmeven]

No!!! I wouldn't have let it go that far!

[darkcharge]

[ Don't sigh at him Vents. ]

Even though there was no guarantee that one of us might not have come back at all?

[Video]

[callmeven]

Aqua really is amazing and talented. She should hear it more often.

[he has ten years of catching up on that.]

Master Invi helped me at first, but I thought I could... do it own my own...

[callmeven]

[he'll do what he wants, vani-wani.]

I'm bonded to you both, even after being separated... there's nothing that can break that bond.

[it's moments like this ventus wishes he could remember something from before... everything happened.]

See, Vanitas? Chirithy is just as much my Spirit as they are yours.

[darkcharge]

[ Wrong moon cycle. One day he is going to make a really bad name for you, Venty. Just saying. ]

I don't feel particularly bonded.

[callmeven]

Have you ever tried calling Chirithy to you?

[at least work with them, vanitas.]

[Video]

[princessascended]

Master Invi can cook too? What's with all the adult women I know having that skill?

[Admittedly it is kind of a stereotype, but honestly that just makes Kairi more annoyed that it's apparently true.]

I mean, I can too, mind you, but only well enough to feed myself. And the boys if I triple the portions.

At least you know now where not to set it to. Part of cooking or baking is always trial and error.

[darkcharge]

...No?

[ Why would he have bothered with something like that Ventus? ]

[callmeven]

Oh, okay! Chirithy is sort of like that too. I wonder what other similarities our worlds share.

[oh that's. new? not having a name must be hard...] A saniwa? May I ask what that is?

[keythatconnects]

Yeah! Are you free now? I can head over!

[callmeven]

[he holds chirithy up, smiling a little.]

Why not try now?

[callmeven]

Sure am! I'm just cleaning up this current mess, but come on over!

[darkcharge]

[ Just stands there making an irritated noise through his nose. ]

This isn't going to work. I don't even...

[ Vanitas immediately shuts up and looks away. He doesn't know what Ventus means by calling out with his heart. It's not something he's done before. ]

No, obviously those are flawless.

[callmeven]

I wish I knew how to cook well enough not to burn everything... the other morning I tried making bacon and that... didn't go well at all.

[that makes him laugh a little.]

Sora and Riku can't cook? Or that they shouldn't cook?

[thundara]

Looks like you let it go far enough. Who taught you how to burn, anyway?
