one return and one drop

[darkaura]

Heya Route,

Ren here, returning from an extended hiatus. Lifestuff and all that jazz, but now I'm back.

That is, I'm back with Data-Riku darkaura. I've had some serious struggles with motivation with regard to Ventus wayfinder, and after three years I'm giving the kid a break. Ven'll be leaving Route, but rest assured, his sappiest of feels remain with his friend-family.

As do his Pokémon. While I have some ideas as to which 'mons go to who, I'll leave that to his close CR. You know who you are. If you'll take somebody, just say so here - the rest'll hit Riku's Training Center. Ven's funds go directly to Disney House. Lastly as a note, the three Pikachus in Ven's list are a package deal.

Thanks for all the wonderful threads and great memories, Route. It's been a blast playing Ventus here, but after three years I'm burnt out for him. But nobody's safe from me yet, Dataku's still here lacking social skills and being a nerd.

Ah, bro ;; I know I said it already but I understand why he's going.

Hope will take good care of any of Ven's Pokemon you want to send his way.

[darkaura]

♥ And I'm glad to have that understanding. And you know, I'm sure he'll crash Hope's world someday. Nerd it up a little. Or maybe a whole lot.

...Probably the second one.

As for 'mons, I feel like Princess really ought to go to Hope. He appreciated her name so very much, after all. Then either Paladin or Valkyrie if he'd be for a Bisharp.

[eagletalons]

Well Hope would love for someone to talk science with because it's so difficult finding a kindred spirit in a world with techno Muggles.

HAHAHA Princess... well he'll be eating what he said years ago. He can also take both Bisharps if they want to stay together.

[darkaura]

Well if there is one thing Dataku gets, it's definitely tech. And he'd love to actually not make someone's head spin when he gets to yammering about it.

Oh yes, Hope. The time has come. And that sounds good to me. They've doubtless been training together ever since Hope suggested as much. So he'll have one serious, chill Bisharp and one emotional, easily flustered Bisharp. And they compete for who's boss because apparently they have an alpha mentality.

[darkaura]

P.S. If you've got more science, Hope, this kid's an avid note-taker.

[eagletalons]

Excellent he can help Hope keep a buttload of records.

Karma goes round and round and I bet Hope will start believing in it more thanks to this. Also info on the Bisharps please? So I can start updating Hope's records and such.

[darkaura]

Oh he'd be more than happy to. Notating All The Things seems like a blast to him.

Aw Hope, why karma? And next time we're both on AIM we can hash out movesets if you like. I never actually got them up, but both of those 'mons should at least be at 70 by now. Chances are, Ven'd teach them anything available to learn...so long as it's not self-damaging.

[eagletalons]

I cant get on AIM for a whiiiiilllleeeeee because work is eating me. Maybe email?

[darkaura]

Email is good too. I will send a message in just a bit here.

[shadowdive]

Vani is gonna go flip some shit now 8(

He'd take on Sylph.

[darkaura]

Sylph's all his then. Super serious Espeon that makes no sound ever = get.

And it's okay Vanitas, he'll see you back home.

...And court your friendship all over again.

[shadowdive]

wham bam eeveelution to the list

8((((((((((((

[impulsives]

Ah well, you do what you have to do and all. It had been a blast playing against your Ven, and hopefully we can get new CRs sometimes soon!

[darkaura]

I'm all for that. Shinn's been a treat to play with, and I liked how he and Ven interacted. I think you were also Eraqus for a little bit, is that right?

+1 nerd in your life, Shinn?

[impulsives]

i've never played eraqus before tho'

but yes good he welcomes nerds as long as they don't piss him off.

[darkaura]

...Who in the world am I remembering wrong, geez. Sorry about that, had a lot on the brain and it's been affecting me lately on the recall front.

Well, at least this one apologizes an awful lot. Unless that gets to annoying Shinn, which I admit would just be funny.

[impulsives]

he'll probably do the tried and true method of saying 'stop saying sorry', only to just facepalm when dataku apologizes again OTL

but if it's alright with you, Shinn can probably inherit one of Ven's pokemon and brood about it OTL

[darkaura]

Sounds about right. He's sorry that his being sorry is causing you frustration Shinn. It was not his intention.

Giving a guy reasons to brood? I'm so on that. Other commenters have claimed various 'mons, but which interested you for Shinn's brooding enjoyment?

[impulsives]

I'll take Shadow, then!

[darkaura]

Oh goodness, the creeper.

He likes to latch abruptly in dark places whenever possible. If he can stumble upon ways to startle Shinn, he will. But it's coupled with being the strangest cuddlebug. Good times ahead?

[toliveon]

/wrong account but whatev-

he already attracts stalkers for his team, so why the heck not. :| b

[darkaura]

Pfft, I almost tagged somebody here with my Suzaku journal by mistake earlier. Raining spin-kickers.

+1 Stalker then, congratulations Shinn.

[soggypastry]

You know how I feel about this, but let me say it again: I'm so glad that Pinksis got to know Venbro and his starfish hugs. It's been awesome to play her off of him all this time, and I can't put into words how much I've enjoyed threading with you all these years. I'll definitely be trying to toss her against Dataku, that's for sure.

And if no one else claims her, Light'll gladly (as she can given the circumstances) take Lebreau. She did use to be Serah's, after all--family's gotta stick together.

[darkaura]

Likewise, I really loved the CR Pinksis and little Mr Starfish had during the course of this game, and it was great manning the PGC with you. One of my favorite things about having Ven here was how much he grew up, thanks to friends like Pinksis. I'll welcome any and all tags with open arms, and I'll definitely lob some derp during 4th wall events.

Absolutely. I figured Light might want Serah's babies - Ven got a few of those ultimately.

[soggypastry]

There will be hugs during those 4th Wall events, I swear. Starfish variety are much loved, too. Ven can't escape forever! Friends in their hearts and all that. She'll keep the PGC running in his name, considering she remembers how much he wanted to protect this world. Do it for Family and Country. Or something.

So I've now noticed--if you're alright with it and no one else would like them, Light will def. also take Shiva and Claire...both of whom may jump Ven if they see him again because spiky-hair bro took very good care of them and they'd like to thank him! Someday.

[darkaura]

Pinksis will certainly get starfish hugs. They're the best kind of hugs, unless it's super hot out or something. Ven'd certainly be confident that Light would keep things ship-shape in the PGC. She's an awesome soldier big sis after all.

Of course, they're all hers ♥ Ven had also made a wayfinder for Serah, should she return. It matches Light's, so that'd likely find its way to her along with Serah's 'mons. Ven'd be happy to see them along with Light in the future.

[soggypastry]

Starfish hugs can last all of five seconds in the heat--they're still the best hugs. She'll do her best to make him proud, too! ♥

oh, those wayfinders are going to make her eyes burn with tears. Venbro helped her so much with those things...least she's got something tangible to remember him with. It certainly does help. BUT YES. The mons will be well cared for and there will be hugs any time she sees Ven again. Count on it.

[darkaura]

This is a perfect solution. And he is always proud of Pinksis ♥ Hope too, for the record. Such a very excellent family.

Aw Pinksis. She will always have that indeed, and Ven's money goes to her and Hope for the house or whatever they might need. Hugs are predestined and I shall remember it. Same goes to Light - there shall be hugs of epic proportions.

[islandshore]

Ven will most definitely be missed, but you gotta do what you gotta do! At least Riku can harass his double a lil' bit. ;) There should totally be shenanigans.

As for 'mons efinitely thinking that Mistral should stick with Roxas the Jolteon due to their silly little affair. It'd also be nice to hold onto Ninfa and Caprice, as I mentioned over IM.

[darkaura]

Riku can definitely do that. And when Databutt starts getting taller, he'll definitely have questions. Is this body malfunctioning, Riku? You're the expert here. And Ven'll be sure to hassle his bro during 4th wall events, just like Pinksis. You're always connected, man.

Those're all Riku's then. I agree, Mistral and Rox are OTP and oughta stick together.

[islandshore]

Also, is there anything else he would've left behind? Belongings and whatnot. I ask mainly because of a tag I got. :|a

[darkaura]

Hm...Ven's stuff is most likely still in his room in Disney House.
