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.]

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.

[Ventus, huh... well, Sanji has a few issues with Ventus as the moment - namely his handling of a certain Vanitas bastard - but the guy's a good kid, all the same]

If you need any help with the food, I can handle that much.

What happens during the middle of an experiment?

...does Ven even like surprises?

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

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?

E-eh? His birthday passed already!? Mind if I ask you when it was?

. . . And ah! I'd love to help out for it, if you'll allow me. I think I might be able to bump that filter up a bit, but by all means, I'm not an expert in any way.

Terra, if you are need of help with music or anything...please do let me know.

And if you need me to fix your filter, I can.

[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.]

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.

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

[...?] Hm? Why not?

Half a year, huh... That's a really long time.

I'd like to help out for his birthday.

And I can bump up your filter a little. [By about 10-20%]

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.

Yeah, it passed awhile ago now -- back when the draft was taking place. [And it wasn't technically his birthday, but it was still a special celebration date for Ven and them.]

I'd be happy with any help I can get. I don't really plan parties. [There were only the four of them in the Land of Departure, and even then Aqua handled most of those details. He just usually had to find Ven a gift.]

Thanks, Mr. Frederic. I didn't even think anything like music. [Goes to show how great his party-planning skills are.] Is there music specific for birthday parties?

It is. It's hard to believe how long some people end up trapped here.

That's great. [A pause.] ...I guess it goes without saying that his friends are invited to this party. I should have mentioned that. [Sigh. Whoops.]

I'd appreciate it. I don't usually use these filters.

[Bumping those filters up to around 80-90%.] It's pretty obvious, but yeah, you should've mentioned it.

They're pretty handy, though I usually prefer talking in person. [His filters are good but not perfect.]

Yeah, I mean I have a friend who's been here for more than two years. [Which would be Naruto.] And another for a year. [Which would be Shikamaru.]

Hey, Spiky's birthday's coming up? We'd better throw him the best darn party ever, then! And it won't be the best darn party unless I'm there!

[... You're going to have your hands full with this one, Terra. Sorry.]

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.]

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.

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.

Does it worry you, being here so long?

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