MY DERE IS GETTING OUT ALL OVER THE PLACE, WHAT IS GOING ON.

Okay so hilariously Isa does not know what to think of Ven. He is like. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT THIS KID, HE IS TOO MUCH FOR ME TO HANDLE. Isa sort of becomes automatically suspicious of people who are friendly/trusting when he can't see a reason for them to be, and Ven is like the embodiment of this. He's actually really grateful that people like Ven and Lea and Roxas and Zack are willing to do something he considers pretty reckless--it makes it easier for him to start figuring out his own feelings. But it also confuses him, because he can't see how anyone who lives in a tumultuous world like Aather would be able to trust others so easily. The Wild Isa hurt itself in its confusion!!

However, he'll admit that having the experience in Ven's heart with the crystals really endeared Ven to him (if "endeared" is the right word to use here, due to how cold Isa can be). So there's a part of him that genuinely likes Ven as much as he's capable of, and another part of him that just can't figure out what to do when faced with so much kindness.

REVERSE ME

ACCEPT IT, ACCEPT THE KINDNESS

Ven loev him some Nobodies. Especially Isa, honestly, because while Lea is more fun, Isa is at this point the one he feels more of a personal connection to. Because they've had some pretty serious conversations, and Ven does have a bit of a ping for stoic serious snarky dudes accumulated through various things. Ven vaaaguely knows about the Org from talking about one of Roxas' memories--not even by name, I think, just that Roxas and Axel were involved in something sketchy--and he has some pretty instinctive lack-of-feelings-and-empathy-can-be-dangerous thoughts, but. It's not what you've done or what you are, but what you do now and what you're like as a friend. Ven had a lot of starting dere for both Lea and Isa because people from his world(s) who he actually remembers and was friends with, however briefly, and he's just like. I will love on them and take care of them! Because that's what I do! And he seriously would quest all over Aather and bleed a hell of a lot if it would help get either of them their hearts back. Because that's how he is.

As for the trust thing, well, Ven is a fairly trusting person by default, because he's an optimist and that's how he stays sane, and has seen nothing in Isa to make him distrust him and several things to make him trust him. His attitude towards things done before people came to Aather is entirely "none of my business, unless you hurt somebody I cared about and fail to give a shit on any level." (It didn't used to be, he used to freak out and mistrust people a little if he learned they'd hurt/killed/whatever in the past, but Peridot has changed him a fair bit on that spectrum.) And because of his talks with Isa about friendship, he's pretty confident that as Isa is now, Nobody or no, it would bother him on some level to discover he'd hurt his friends. He really sees Aather as a second chance for some people.

Tell me about these feelings that you're figuring out!

ALL...OF...THEM.... I think that is the honest answer, I really do. Right now his focus tends toward understanding why people are being nice and friendly and kind to him, because he can't comprehend that very much. And he doesn't like being confused, especially by other people, so he's working towards a place where he is not constantly caught off-guard by everything. Twitchy Nobody is twitchy.

So how did Josh and Ven happen, I'm curious about that!

Awww twitchy Nobody.

Hm, is it easier to type this up again or c/p from some previous question meme....meh, I'll type it up again! So Josh and Ven were sort of casual friends for a very long time. They kept running into each other, often when Ven was depressed, and being friendly, but there was this sort of not-quite connection. And then one day Ven was having signeg foo and asked for a hug, and somehow this spiraled into a long soulful trauma-sharing conversation and after that, they were SOLIDLY BROS all of a sudden.

And then they started doing all those Bro Things. Like swimming together mostly naked, and geeking out about magic, and cuddling a lot, and dancing on air together during a party game (with Ven in a frilly ballgown), and nearly falling asleep on each other afterwards, and watching each other perform manly feats of strength and agility, and cuddling while swimming...Bro Things, right? :3 And somewhere in there Ven went, crap, I think I have a crush on him. Because Ven crushes very easily on really close friends, and he wasn't sure how Josh felt and was super nervous about it being unrequited (as most of his attractions are), but he blurted it out at one point when they were talking and snuggling and Josh was trailing fingers over the back of his neck and it was Doing Things.

And then Josh thought about it for a bit, realized that, yes, this was a thing that he'd been too derp to fully realize (because seriously, cuddling while swimming and mostly naked, GET A CLUE, GUYS), and then they made out frantically until Trout found them and stuck her head up Josh's shirt. And the rest, as Josh said once, is adorable history.

While we're talking about such things, which side of the platonic line do you read Lea and Isa as being on?

Right now, I think they're mmmmmostly platonic? I think they're both pretty possessive of each other in their own ways, and it could easily tip into not-platonic, but Isa at least is not concerned with such matters at the moment just because he has so many other things to think about. Probably what's going to happen is Isa will need to be hit with a clue-by-four before getting it once they've settled. x:|b I will say that I don't think Axel and Saïx were platonic, but whatever they once had died out by the time Days rolled around.

Terra shows up in Aather! WHAT DO, VEN, WHAT DO

ATTACK-GLOMP SOME POOR DUDE WHO JUST STUMBLED INTO THE RING.

No, really, Ven would be ALL THE EXCITED AND HAPPY and introduce Terra to all his friends and forgive him everything and nurse him through his "I did WTF" memories as best as he could. And crush on him tons. And honestly kind of root for Terra and Riku being friends, because he thinks Terra would be good for him.

Josh and Terra hanging out would be especially hilarious because they have *very* similar story arcs and falls into darkness.

And ultimately, once Terra got enough memories to figure out what the shit even happened to him (Ven has no clue, even with a complete registry), Ven would be so fucking happy that Terra got to Aather safely, because it means he's still alive and himself. \:D/

Xion gets unbooked again, what do?

LOL THAT WILL DEPEND ON SO MANY THINGS... mostly the order in which he gets his memories of her. Like he's already got one, technically, but he doesn't really know what she looks like or who she is. Just her name. He's got this sense like 'Oh, maybe whoever this person is knows about what sort of things I got up to' so he'd want to know about that. But Saïx treats Xion absolutely terribly in Days, and his reaction to those memories could be anything from 'WOW I WAS AN ASSHOLE' to 'Xion's not a real thing, it's just a construct'. Or a combination of both. '-' And he will be confused and conflicted.

I AM. running out of questions since I am doing homework and creativity is low, so you can keep asking if you want o/

...just how horribly disorienting was your first day in Aather, dude?

I am kind of derp on questions too, but. It seemed like Isa got pushed to the overload point, so I am kind of curious thar.

HEY. HEY. YOU WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR A GREAT DEAL OF THAT

BUT ILUUUUUU...

...yeah Ven still feels a little bad about that. He's firmly of the "give important information sooner rather than later" school, due to his experiences, but still.
