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.]

XX? [...] Yeah, he might not appreciate that.

He likes games, books about other worlds. Astronomy. [But really, Ven would like just anything his friends got him. Get him a pet rock and he'd cherish it.]

Yeah, he deserves it. [The whole plan had been to get his mind off of the post-draft stuff after Luceti Land had disappeared, and then Aqua disappeared...] You're one of his friends, right? I hope you'll come when we get everything set.

Of course I will!

Great. [And now to add to this potential party size count. Man, Ven, you social butterfly.]

Yeah... [Pause.] Two months is still two months and I bet there are a lot of things going on already if I haven't been dragged here.

It's not your fault at all, don't worry!

-- a dozen people, huh? That is a lot of people... Where are you thinking of holding it then?

There's this rec center in the village; I see it when I'm walking home. I don't know if you need to reserve the building, but that was one idea. Another was to have it on the hill where those cherry trees are.

Then there's some people who come from different times, knowing what happens in the future. [...] It's a lot to think about when you're trapped.

[Clearly the best plan was to distract oneself to not dwell on those thoughts.]

You can say that again. [She sighs. Just how many people from back home are from the future again? It's like only the Kazekage is from the past.] From what little I've heard of my future, I'd really rather be back home. [The village needs them.] Then again, nothing's set on stone.

I'd like to think what we learn here can help us when we go home. But it sounds like people forget when they leave Luceti. [And he'd seen an example of it, with Aqua returning with no memories.] How far in the future was your information set? ...If you don't mind me asking.

[She nods. It's true that what they learn here can help them, but there's also that problem of keeping one's memories. She has seen it happen to Hinata and the Kazekage.]

Months, I think. I'm not too sure. There are so many things that will happen. [Tsunade waking up, Sasuke being declared as an international criminal...]

So there would still be time for you to change things, if it was possible. [Change things for the better. Somehow.]

Mm, yeah. Like I said, nothing's set on stone. [And she'll hold on to this belief even if more and more people from back home (who are from the future) are telling her the exact same thing that will happen.]

--Anyway, my name's Ino. What's yours? I think we haven't talked before. [Because she keeps track.]

[...Such a somber topic they'd gone down. He's glad for the topic change.]

I'm Terra. It's nice to meet you, Ino. ...Over the journals, at least.

[Ino doesn't do somber so she'll gladly do a topic change.]

I'm sure it's just as nice when we personally meet, Terra.

Mmmm, okay? That's some good advice there, Terra-san.

Someone will come along and fix it even better than I can, don't worry. And-- I bet I'd be pretty good at distracting! I'll invite him over to hang out or something.

As long as he doesn't get man-eating plants, I guess we'll be okay.

Yeah, but it's really more if he's wanted to. They're not too hard to learn after a while...how often do you plan on using them?

There's a bakery here that makes really great desserts. You could probably get an awesome cake there! [Kazooie herself approves heartily of their poppy seed muffins.]

And for games... think the Malnosso'd lend us some video games or something? Or maybe we could kick a ball around awhile!

[All perfectly valid, if self-centred, suggestions.]

Exactly. Like I said, as long as I can keep an eye on them here, I'm okay.

Neither of them ever told me about that. [Which isn't surprising. That had to have been ages ago. Neither of them would remember, right?] ...the light?

Then I'll count on you for that, Sora. We can talk about the details once I get more ideas.

[He smirks a little at that.] I think that's a safe place to draw the line.

I don't use the journals much, so I don't know. I had to ask a friend just to get started with a filter.

Then it's good that you're all here together. [Again, he's reminded of Aqua. Kairi shared a lot of good traits with her.]

That world radiates a warm light. I felt drawn towards it. ...It's hard to explain. [He had felt that the light had brought him there to meet Riku. And so he had done as he felt he should have, choosing Riku as his successor.]

It's all sort of overrated anyway. It's hard to say if everything's really being filtered out or not. I could probably teach you though if I had to.
