[The feed clicks on. It's in a room, and upon closer inspection, a room in the Goldenrod inn. You might be able to see part of Roxas's arm, but for the most part, the feed is focused on Axel the Growlithe and Xion the newly hatched Shinx playing tug of war. Not intentionally though. Roxas is planning on saying something. He just has to find the words.]

Um...[pause]

How...[longer pause. This is bugging him. He's been thinking about this question a lot and finally gotten to a point where he feels he can do something about it but still. It's hard. He's kind of afraid to ask. It has to deal with emotions and thoughts and things that he doesn't really understand. He's trying to hold back his anger, since he knows what happens when he gets angry and it hasn't worked well for him. He's trying something different, for what it's worth]

[and finally, in text]

If you're jealous of someone, how do you stop?

[ooc: Using my dad's laptop to get to some tags/get one last entry up before school starts. That being said, still technically computer-less, so tags may be wonky for a spell or threads'll be stalled. Thanks in advance for your patience.]

It feels like it. All their friends are here. And they can make friends really easily. And I just feel like I can't measure up.

...It does look like some groups are more complete than others. But from what I can tell, quite a few people enjoy talking with you. Being less outgoing than they are is not a fault, far from it.

[Those words are pretty comforting. He likes them.]

I don't want to be compared to anyone though.

Why would you be compared to either of them? [Someone here has never seen Ven.]

With Sora...it's complicated.

Ven...looks just like me.

And I suppose the two of you are not relatives, no matter how distant?

No, we're not. I don't really know, how we're connected.

It might simply be a coincidence. [Though it doesn't sound like one.] You could try to emphasize your differences. Even identical twins find ways to separate themselves.

How? I mean, I know we're different, but how do I show people?

If you have a hobby he does not care for, practice it. Wear other types of clothing, or style your hair differently. Make friends with people who know nothing of him. If he does the same, people will learn to tell you apart quickly.

[nod, nod, taking all this down, although, he probably won't touch his hair]

I'll try all of those.

Thanks Mr. Cecil.

[He only meant 'separate it on the left side instead of the right', not 'cut it and dye it blue'.]

You're welcome. I hope you will not have to beat your differences into people's heads.

[And he means that quite literally.]

[I wonder if there's a way for it to not defy gravity]

I hope so to.

[Cement?]

...Besides, I'm certain he'd like to be seen as different from you, too.

I think so, yeah. He seems to know it. It's just harder, for me. I can't be as easygoing.

If you were, there might be even more comparisons between the two of you. You're both lucky to have different natures.

Different natures. Ven did say something about that.

I guess we're kind of like pokemon.

To us, all the Pidgeys on the road look the same. But to a trainer raising a Pidgey, their Pidgey is unique and could never be mistaken for another. Thus, to those who know you, your physical ressemblance to Ven is not important. Something like that?

Yeah. Except he used Pikachus.

I understand it, but it's hard, when I see him with people he really cares about.

You also have people you truly care about, do you not? If you spend time with them, shouldn't that feeling disappear?

I guess it's because it's friends from our world. I like the friends I made here, but I miss the friends I had there.

Sadly, that is the one thing none of us can do anything about. They might reach this world, if you're lucky.

I hope so.
