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.

[...Stating it aloud like that just makes him feel old. But he sets out making the filter he's been practicing since Frederic showed it to him.]

[Filtered away from Ven and Vanitas / ~~70%~~ ~~75%~~ ~~85%~~ 94% unhackable]

I'd like to ask for some help from Ven's friends. You might also know him as "Ventus." Ven's been here a lot longer than me, and I'm pretty sure he hasn't had a chance to celebrate his birthday at all. There were plans for a surprise party, but things just ... kept happening. [The draft. Aqua's second disappearance. And now Kohan had ran off with little more than a note. There's a noticeable pause in the message before Terra continues.] I'd appreciate any help.

[...] And if someone could help me fix my filter, that would be great, too.

[If anyone wants to catch him after his post, he can be found shopping in the plaza. Someone's gotta do the grocery shopping.]

[We'll go with a nice 85% filter for now.]

Thanks. I don't use the journals much at all. I prefer face to face talking, too.

Yeah. The guide also mentions four cycle years, which means there's people that have been around that long. [Four years. He didn't want to be in Luceti that long.]

[It's a good thing Terra's ... Terra.] And you're invited, of course. Looks like this will be a big party.

[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.

All that lost time you could have been spending on more important things back home.

Yeah...what sort of stuff would he like, do you think? I want to get him something.

Don't tell him I told you though. He seems to think differently.

... Ah, really?

Oh! I have quite a bit of experience in that department, so I wouldn't mind helping you there. How big are you planning to make it? We could set up streamers, blow up balloons... There are all sorts of things to do!

It's funny, but not really. As long as my friends are here where I can keep a eye on them, I have nothing to worry about. Well, almost nothing.

What world?

Awesome! Big parties are the greatest!

What do you guys have lined up, so far? [Kazooie is already running through a mental list of things that make a party awesome.]

He likes all sorts of things. Stargazing, reading, collecting plants... [Ven ended up bringing random things back to the house and into their shared bedroom. Often.] Games, too. I'd suggest something that lets him play with other people.

Just how "not great" are we talking about here?

Only almost? [He can't help but be curious about what was going on in their future.]

It's where I first met Riku and Sora. The islands.

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.

Sorry, I know it's pretty late. [It disappointed him that it had to keep getting pushed back, but ... all of these situations were out of his hands. Didn't stop him from feeling bad about it, though.]

There's going to be at least a dozen people. That's why I thought trying to hold the party at our house wouldn't work; Ven's got a lot of friends.

Yeah. I've got a feeling it's not over yet, even if we think it is.

You were at our islands? I didn't know that. [Of course you wouldn't, Kairi. You were still in the Garden.]

...plants, Terra? [That is quite possibly the most random.] But games I could probably do. I bet I could find something for him.

Not great i the sense he could barely figure out how to use filters himself when he got here.

[Yay.]

It got that personal feeling to it, too. [Less easier to hide things in person, plus that small paranoia where someone would manage to break through his filters.] And less likely to be overheard.

It makes you wonder what would be happening at that time. I have no idea what I'd be doing in my world, six months later. [Whatever it was, it was probably more productive than what he was currently doing.]

You'd be surprised what catches Ven's interest. [He smiles at the thought. He'd always found it kinda funny.]

But he's had time to learn, right? [Not that he's seen Sora filter before. ...Which probably says something about his level of knowing filters.]

...The derpy lad's birthday's comin' up?

Tell me a gift for him that isn't XX and I'll be all over it! Ven-kun might not like if I used my skills for him.

...That's not good. I see what you mean. [Well. Not like they could do anything about it in Luceti, too.]

Only for a short while. It was kind of spur of the moment. [He contemplates, remembering what he had been thinking of on the island.] I think the light led me there.

I think music and food are covered. I'll have to figure out where to get a great cake. [Should he ask someone to bake? Or go to the bakery? Decisions, decisions.]

There's usually games for big parties, right? I don't have any ideas for that.

I guess there's a lot of things people don't mind everyone hearing about. [Just going by the activity level of the journals.] But I agree. I wouldn't trust filters with very important stuff.

Derpy lad? [What, Gold?]

It passed during the draft. There's been delays since then.

So we missed it then... Damn. But you wanna make up for it anyway?
