Ventus. Were they calling you Ventus?

[But that didn't make sense. Sora didn't look anything like Ventus so how could they mistake them for one another? Maybe it hadn't actually been any of them and Sora had just..dreamed them up or something?]

What do you mean by a nobody? I've never heard of that before.

[heartdive]

Just Ven.

[ no, Sora doesn't look anything like Ventus. but Roxas does. Vanitas looks like Sora.

and Sora doesn't know what to make of all of this but he has a FEELING that Vanitas here is directly related to that. that maybe they can figure it out. ]

When someone with a strong will loses their heart, some times the body doesn't give up. It starts to move with a will and mind of it's own. They remember who they were before they lost their heart, but they don't actually feel. That's a Nobody.

[bleedingunversed]

Ven. That's what they always called him.

[He goes quiet again as Sora explains what nobodies are, mulling that over and finding it rather familiar, in a way, even though he knows that he wasn't created in the same way.

He can at least understand the idea of what a nobody is though.]

And these Nobodies..you can restore them by returning their hearts to them? It's just as easy as that?

[heartdive]

I was kind of afraid you'd say that, but I need to know.

[ now Vanitas knows why Sora really wants to know what happened. is there a reason that these people would show up like they did? ]

If the Nobody and the Heartless are defeated, they will become one again. Or, given enough time, the Nobody will become whole on their own. A heart will form on it's own. They're never lost forever.

[bleedingunversed]

So you're..connected to Ventus somehow. Is that what you're thinking?

[Because that's what he's getting out of this. If Aqua and Terra called him Ven that had to mean something. And he didn't like what it meant.]

Heartless...I don't know what those are either. I know what the Unversed are but I've never heard of the Heartless.

And how can a heart just form on it's own? A heart just doesn't come out of nowhere.

[heartdive]

Maybe. It'd make sense, wouldn't it? We have to look alike for a reason.

[ but that still leaves the HOW. that's such a huge question right about now isn't it? ]

A heart is our memories and how we feel about them. You can't go through life experiencing things and not having some kind of feeling attached to it. So it doesn't come out of nowhere, no. It just grows and blooms.

[bleedingunversed]

I guess...but I have no idea what that reason is. Everything that happened with Ventus and I--with the others...that was before you got your keyblade, wasn't it?

[So how could they be connected? And Ventus had...and he had...]

So you're saying that anything has the potential to form a real heart with time?

[heartdive]

Nope. But neither do you. Stranger things have happened.

[ shrug! ]

But I think so. How do you think the heart of a world forms?

[bleedingunversed]

Gee, that's helpful.

[Seriously, Sora. Real helpful.]

I have no idea. I never stopped to consider it. I was usually too busy trying to take them.

[heartdive]

I do my best!

[ grin grin! ]

A world isn't exactly a living, breathing thing now is it? But it still has a heart of its own. The people that live there obviously have feelings about their home, right?

[bleedingunversed]

Idiot.

[It's not said as harshly as he might have said it before so that's a perk, right?]

So the combined feelings of everyone that live in a world make it have a heart? That's...weird.

[heartdive]

Look your best friends in the worlds confirmed it for me.

[ aka Braig and Xemnas ]

[bleedingunversed]

I suddenly just want to punch you in the face.

[heartdive]

Aww but he's half your master already!

[bleedingunversed]

We're done talking.

[heartdive]

You never answered any of my questions though.

[bleedingunversed]

Yes I did!

[heartdive]

The ten second long version.

[bleedingunversed]

What else do you want me to say? Are you looking for a complete history of things?

[heartdive]

Maybe? It'd be nice for a change.

[bleedingunversed]

....Fine.

Where do you want me to start exactly?

[heartdive]

From the beginning? That's usually the best way to start a story.

[bleedingunversed]

..It's a really long story. Are you sure you're up for this? I'm not going to leave out any of the dark details either.

[heartdive]

I wouldn't want you to, Vanitas.

[bleedingunversed]

[There's a long pause before he starts talking, his voice softer now; thoughtful.]

Master Xehanort was Ventus's original master. He was attempting to train him and use him to open Kingdom Hearts but Ventus was too good. He had too much light in him. So he ended up pulling me out of him, forging me from the darkness that was inside Ventus. It left him..broken. So broken that Master Xehanort ended up leaving him with Master Eraqus, who had been training Terra and Aqua. It's because of them that Ventus was able to recover and learn to wield a keyblade.

As for me..I was trained and taught that my only purpose was to get strong enough to merge with Ventus again and forge the X-Blade. So that's what I did. I trained and tried to do everything he told me to do.
