Sixth Breeze

[salvagedlight]

[Ven's cambot has, once again, decided to ignore the wishes of its owner because it's kind of needy and clingy. It listened when Ven told it to go away, but it's less than five minutes later and it's already searching him out again.]

[It finds him back in his room, and Ven's forgotten to close the door entirely. Cambot's lens peeks through the gap between the door and frame, only to find Ven standing in front of the mirror in his room, wearing... Terra's pants? Yes, somehow Ven's gotten ahold of one of Terra's circus tents and decided to put them on, despite the fact that he obviously can't wear them properly. He's wrapped some of the waistband around one hand to hold them up, and seems to be alternately looking down at his feet or at the knot of fabric in his hand, judging something. This continues for a few moments as Cambot silently pushes the door further open to float closer, and Ven's face brightens into a grin.]

I think that's almost two inches! That's a- [OHGODWHATISTHAT oh wait it's Cam WAIT WHAT] CAM! I told you to stay away for awhile!

[And now, of course, it's been broadcast. Ven's turning red even as he's working to shove the Cambot out of his room with just one hand. It's not exactly a winning proposition.]

Re: 3/?

[thirteenth_brat]

[Is he wearing Terra's pants?!]

Re: 4/5 I think

[thirteenth_brat]

[Huh, well...]

5/5 Yeah, done.

[thirteenth_brat]

[Okay, this is funny.]

Seriously, Ven?

[guardiano_perduto]

...I know that feel, bro.

[salvagedlight]

Complete humiliation? [He knows what's coming at some point. Never mind all his friends, when Vanitas sees this... He's never living it down.]

[keyofemptiness]

Playing dress-up, Ventus?

[salvagedlight]

[He was waiting for this one. Damnit.]

None of your business.

[wavesinherheart]

[This is Aqua, trying not to laugh.]

That's an... interesting way of measuring yourself.

[salvagedlight]

Aqua, please don't. [Look at him, he's already mortified!]

[beforethemoon]

What are you doing?

[salvagedlight]

[Isa is probably better than Lea in this situation, but he's not sure how much better.]

...Trying to see how much I'd grown.

[Then comes out with this with a smirk.]

Hey what else could you fit in there?

[punsofiron]

[Did somebody call for a snarky comment? No? Well here's Liz anyway with a smirk.]

I think Terra's gonna want those back eventually, kiddo.

[salvagedlight]

[Hi, he'll be over in the corner dying of embarrassment.]

I'm not keeping them.

[thesilenthero]

[Oh, he has sympathy for this one. Especially for a nice young boy like Ventus.]

I assure you that while people are unlikely to forget, enough of import happens on the satellite that you will not be the most interesting thing for long.

[salvagedlight]

[The sentiment is appreciated, Lex, but Ven has one teeny problem you didn't.]

He's never gonna forget this.

[skysmirror]

[Have a confused Xion. If Ven needed to borrow clothes, shouldn't he have found something more his size?]

[salvagedlight]

[This just keeps getting better and better.]

Hi, Xion.

[shortpants_knight]

[Link is at first a bit puzzled by what Ven is doing. However, his comment before being startled by Cambot gives a pretty good hint.]

I think there's an easier way to track how much you've grown.

[salvagedlight]

It's tradition, okay? [Why doesn't he just send the Cambot away now? Ven knows it would only make things worse.]

[colorbymemory]

[Namine looks confused at first, then, as with Link, a possible meaning for what he'd said before interrupted occurs to her.]

You couldn't find the tape measure?

[salvagedlight]

[At least one person seems to get it. Not that there aren't plenty of tape measures on the theatrical deck, but... long story.]

Yeah, I couldn't. So I just... [Improvised.]

[sailorlaughter]

Ohhhhhhhh, so THAT'S why Terra's always losing his pants!

[solmidna]

Ven wasn't here before. Are you saying that he's an interdimensional pants thief?

[Midna reconsiders this.]

An interdimensional pants borrower.

Well SOMEONE's gonna be nice.

[halfdarkened]

[Stares a moment.]

...You're your own person. You don't need to measure up to anyone else.

Ahahahahaha

[salvagedlight]

[...Have an ellipses so long Riku might be forgiven for thinking he's imitating Squall.]

...That was a terrible pun.

[seasidememories]

Hey, great! I bet you could get on the Tilt-A-Whirl now!

[salvagedlight]

On the what? [He has no idea what that is, Kairi. Have some confusion!]

[verygassy]

...

[salvagedlight]

[This could either be very good, or very bad.]

...Hi, Minako.

[dadandgone]

[Laughing]

You still have some growing to do Ven. Though you're much closer than my daughter. It'll be awhile before she can wear her mommy's heels.

[dadandgone]

[Semi-fake tears. He pulls out a handkerchief]

THEY GROW UP SO FAST!

[eroded_earth]

[Terra, wearing sweat pants and a shirt, stops by Ven's room. Terra is carrying a basket of clothes]

Hey, Ven. I was doing laundry and I couldn't find my pants have you---

[he falls silent]

[eroded_earth]

[Stare]

Uh....Ven...

[sailorgenerous]

[A flurry of emotions passes over Rarity's face, one right after another: surprise, disappointment that evidently the predisposition towards those pants runs in the family, horror at the at the idea that because of this Terra may again be pantsless at this very moment, and, finally, resignation. There really is only so much she can do for the fashion sense on this satellite, isn't there.]

You...like those pants, then.

[salvagedlight]

[Oh that parade of expressions. Ven can take guesses as to what they mean (mostly he's close, but not entirely right) and he's turning red with the pony as well.]

They- They're Terra's!
