[Here is Reno, not looking any worse for wear. He looks rather serious though, and when he speaks it's all business. For those who only know him casually, it's quite a bit different than his usual tone of voice.]

I've got to say, I'm curious. I understand some people experienced problems the past week with their collar.

[He taps his own collar, which is orange again.] They called me in and changed it from orange to violet. When I got back to my room, I could barely move and it was damned hard doing anything.

Anyone care to share their story?

(just to be clear this is not backdated, sorry about that.)

[drknss_bnd_lght]

Yes. [Ventus nods as well, dismissing the blade.] I've been trained to fight most of my life.

[midgarhorizon]

[Reno puts that down as a magic class ability. Back to business.] Did you notice anything else?

[drknss_bnd_lght]

... I wasn't as fast as I should be.

[midgarhorizon]

Back to normal now?

[drknss_bnd_lght]

Yea.

I am.

[midgarhorizon]

Then don't sound so down.

orz he's such a doormat.

[drknss_bnd_lght]

I-- [Ventus turned his head slightly away, slumping a bit.

If that's what the stranger wanted, then so be it.] ..As you wish.

Reno's like omfg what's wrong with him D:

[midgarhorizon]

[Wuh- that wasn't supposed to happen. Did Reno just make it worse- now he's sounding slightly desperate with a hint of annoyance. Kids these days.]

Hey... hey! Don't get depressed. It wasn't fatal.

Awww Reno.

[drknss_bnd_lght]

... Uh. O-Ok. [ No - this is just how Ventus normally is.

Passive and doormatish.]

[midgarhorizon]

... [He's giving you the face, Ventus. That determined, up to no good face. Too bad you can't see it.]

That's not how you do it.

[drknss_bnd_lght]

[Hahaha not that he can see what face he's getting.] Uh.

[And headtilt. again. How do you do it? is what he's silently asking.]

[midgarhorizon]

[Now, how did Slick do this?]

You say "YES SIR I AM FUCKING AWESOME, MAN!" And then punch the wall.

[drknss_bnd_lght]

..If that is what you wish.

[Sob. He will actually do this if you don't stop him, Reno.]

[midgarhorizon]

[Wait is this kid going to actually do that?]

Whoa whoa whoa, I didn't mean it literally.

[drknss_bnd_lght]

[Yes, yes he would. ... It's not a big deal to punch a wall, really.] ...

[HEAD TILT. Then what did you mean??] Um.

[midgarhorizon]

[What the hell is wrong with this kid?! Is he playing with him?]

Uh, do you always do what people tell you?

[drknss_bnd_lght]

Yes.

[...that is a very passive voice there.]

[midgarhorizon]

Yeah? A guy like you should be making your own choices.

[drknss_bnd_lght]

..I see.

[But making his own choices is hard because he keeps shoving his opinions down in favor of doormatting to another.]

[midgarhorizon]

[brb Reno is facepalming forever.]

Think about it.

[drknss_bnd_lght]

[Hahah poor Reno.]

..Alright.

[midgarhorizon]

[Gdit grow a spine.]

I didn't catch your name.

[drknss_bnd_lght]

[How does he do that?]

.... Ventus.

[midgarhorizon]

[Stick with Reno, kiddo, he's teaching all the wallflowers the Reno way.]

Great. Mine's Reno.

[drknss_bnd_lght]

Nice to meet you, Reno.
