Welcome to the New Feathers. I hope everyone's settling in all right. Things have been peaceful lately, and it's better than landing in Luceti in the middle of an experiment. I'm Terra, and I've been here for half a year now.

I can try to fix it for you.

[he's probably not the best candidate for this, but in Sora's defense, he's gotten a lot better at learning how to filter his messages airtight.]

But what kind of help with a party are you looking for, Terra? I'm willing to do anything you need.

I still need more practice with the filters. Goes to show how much I use these journals.

[But really, if Sora could even increase that filter by one percent, Terra would appreciate it.]

We were originally thinking of finding some place other than the house to have the surprise party, depending on how big the party got. Friends would need to be invited, and Aqua was going to handle baking the cake. [But Aqua was gone now.] Of course, Ven can't learn about this.

[an extra 5 percent is probably the best Sora can do on such short notice. but it's better than nothing!]

I'd suggest hitting options to figure out what they all do, but that's liable to get you in trouble. [somehow, it sounds like he's speaking from experience.]

But I can round people up for the party for you if you want.

[erodingearth]

Sometimes it's all you can do. [He agree with Sora's thinking.] But I wanted to be sure I didn't make this too easy for Ven to see.

That'd be great. Or maybe you can help distract Ven right before the actual party while we're setting up.

[Oh, if only they could trade notes on that particular issue...]

Thanks, I appreciate it. I hadn't given much thought on the food beyond cake and ice cream. [He wasn't used to putting together parties, even after helping with some events in Luceti.]

What happens during the middle of an experiment?

[Voice]

[erodingearth]

The village is just ... much more chaotic. I haven't heard of New Feathers showing up in the middle of experiments, but I know they can disappear during them. It wouldn't surprise me if it's happened before.

[voice; filtered]

[perplex_me]

...does Ven even like surprises?

Also take my advice and don't let Sora try to fix your filter for you.

[voice; filtered]

[erodingearth]

Good surprises, sure. He'll definitely like this one, if it's pulled off right.

[...?] Hm? Why not?

[voice; filtered]

[perplex_me]

Let me know what I can do to help. Ven deserves to have a good birthday.

Truthfully? Sora's not that great with technology. [Says the kid who raged and bashed a computer in with his Keyblade.]

[voice; filtered]

[erodingearth]

I'm still getting some ideas from everyone who's replied. Gifts would be nice. [He'd already found something he wanted to give back to Ven.]

...That would be a good reason.

[meteorical]

Has it really been that long around? I can't believe that.

What sort of plans did you have prior to everything happening around here?

[voice; filtered]

[erodingearth]

You and the others have been here longer, too. Strange, isn't it?

Plans? [Did he really have plans at the time?] I was going to head back home. Or, at least, I felt like I could go back home after I was finished with my mission.

[voice; filtered]

[meteorical]

I know...out of all of us, I think Roxas, Axel and I have been here the longest. Out of the people from home I mean. I just didn't think about how fast time's moving.

What about short-term plans? Things in the nearby future.

[voice; filtered]

[erodingearth]

Does it worry you, being here so long?

[Short-term plans...] I was just getting ready to leave a world I was visiting.
