Seventeenth Shooting Star - voice;

[risingwinds]

[Ever since Vanitas moved in, Ven's had a lot on his mind. Taking in the same guy who nearly killed a lot of his friends, took over his body, and caused general chaos isn't something most people would even consider

Sounds like your friend there could use the adjustment.

[Ven... doesn't really consider Vanitas a friend at this point. He's still mad at Vanitas for all of the terrible things he's done, but he's not really grudgey about it, either. It's mostly a tolerance... and this guy did hit the nail on the head.]

That's what I was going for.

Know anybody with a kitchen?

[Written]

[risingwinds]

Well, our house has one.

[fortune_prince]

[ ....Well. That was kind of a voice she was hoping to never hear again. It kinda just leaves her speechless for a moment or two.

Was...Ven's question referring to Vanitas? She knew he had died but didn't know what happened to him when he came back, not that she actually cared, as cruel as that sounds. He had hurt so many people so if he suffered then he had it coming]

Ven-kun, someone like him won't change, not as easily as you want.

[voice]

[risingwinds]

[...Oh, Naoto. Someone he really should've informed about all this.

Well, too late for that now. He'll deal.]

I know it'll be hard, but I think anyone can change. Some people are just tougher than others.

[voice]

[fortune_prince]

[Knowing would have been nice B|]

It's almost near impossible for him. Remembering what you had told me before, he contains nothing but darkness--negative or malicious emotions. Do you honestly expect him to turn into a light hearted person?

[voice]

[risingwinds]

I don't expect him to change completely... just improve. At least get to a point where he's not hurting people.

[Voice]

[no_use_running]

I think... patience will help, in time. And settling whatever went wrong between you to start.

[This advice brought to you by a girl brainwashed and turned against her friends; she never returned to them until the real rifts began to heal, too.]

[Voice]

[risingwinds]

Yeah, I know it'll take patience, and lots of it. The hard part's getting him to listen.

Vanitas is really set in his ways. He doesn't trust anybody, and if he wasn't blind right now, he'd probably still be hurting people.

[Voice]

[no_use_running]

[He reminds her a little of Usagi, still trying against those odds. It
makes her smile.]

We listen the most when people tell us something surprising, don't we? Sometimes, all that needs to be is the truth. [The chances Vanitas can have outside the Darkness; the opportunities he's missing by clinging to it, the happiness he could embrace instead.]

[Voice]

[risingwinds]

And that's what I've been trying to do. I think the problem's that he doesn't want to open up. Probably because he already has to feel what I feel.

Making friends... it'd make him more like me. That's what he'd think, anyway.

[voice]

[perplex_me]

I agree with the lobotomy. Might do him some good.

[voice]

[risingwinds]

But isn't that kinda harsh?

[voice]

[perplex_me]

No. Why?

[voice]

[risingwinds]

I guess I'm just trying to get him to change without doing something too drastic.

[voice]

[meteorical]

You know what I think, Ven? The best way to get to them is to kill them with kindness. That's about all you can do. [It's hard for her, since she knows it's Vanitas and she really does not like him, but she knows Ven's willing to try. Besides, that's how things worked out with her and Axel, isn't it?]

[voice]

[risingwinds]

So you're saying I should be nice to him? Well, that doesn't sound too hard.

[Just a little risky, given Vani's attitude.]

[voice]

[meteorical]

Why not? That's what you've been doing so far, right? And he's doing better.

[voice]

[risingwinds]

A little better. I just wonder how much of it's genuine and how much is because he can't fight right now.
