[Closed] At least there's adults at this party

[missingache]

Who: All KH characters + their shinki (if applicable), Urashima, Nohr clan, Aymeric, Sheryl, and Jakob
What: A huge meetup because people need to see faces that go with names
Where: Artemis' and Baldr's temples respectively
When: May 21st - 22nd (Basically show up whenever and leave whenever)
Warnings: N/A


[Those invited will have most likely gotten a text or other way of communication to let them know there was something going on at this time and date. There is no set time per say, so it's an open invitation to show up even before sunrise if you feel crazy enough to deal with the wildlife in Artemis' place.

The party can be spent between the two places that are somehow linked by a trail. Either side will have amenities/foods/entertainment suitable for a meetup (though if you want tea/coffee, stick to the side that isn't Baldr's place).

There will be a sign on Artemis' side that warns of getting near the bear or deer since they are skittish around too many people, so one side of Artemis' temple will be sealed off to visitors unless you ask very nicely to see the deer. There will also be a sign that reads "NO SWIMMING IN THE LAKE". At least there's a nice fire in the fire pit on the patio, and those who stay the night at this temple will... see a bunch of glow in the dark stars on the ceiling.

Baldr's side... pretty much do whatever you want within godly legal limits? If you want to swim, go to that side. If you want to sleep under the stars, go to that side. If you want to be around wildlife that can't possibly gore you to death or maul you (unless it's your unlucky day and the bear decides to hang at the beach), go to that side.]


[ooc: treat this like a mingle! have at it!]

[minogame]

( Whispers, )

I don't know...!

( And he's 200% aware of how pathetic this sounds okay, don't look at him. )

[earthshakin]

[Oh no.

Oh no.

Right. Time to...do something about this]

Well...hey. I'm not the best cook, but I could teach you to make a few things and then every so often you can make dinner for Roxas to say thanks?

[minogame]

( Instantly cheering up!!! )

Really?! ( Uwah, he's already excited and nothing's even started yet. ) Thank you, thank you, thank you!

( And this sure is a kid slamming into Terra for a hug?! )

[earthshakin]

[Whoops. Terra stumbles a little from the shock but manages to stay standing and also return the hug with a small smile.]

You're welcome. Everyone should know how to cook a few things, and most people really like getting food so it should be a win all around.

[minogame]

( Nodding, )

I just never learned... I don't think I ever did. ( Not that he worries too much about it because, again, he does have friends who take of him but... ) But I really want to do something nice for Roxas.

[earthshakin]

Food should do it, then. Just tell me when you want to meet at my temple for lessons, okay?

[minogame]

Soon!?

( He's a strange mix of both eager to learn and wanting to make sure it's okay. He's just really excited, okay. )

I want to thank him soon. ( A beat, ) And you too.

[earthshakin]

Why me?

[minogame]

Because you're helping me too?

( Is that weird... )

[earthshakin]

[Terra laughs a bit and shakes his head]

You don't have to thank me, Urashima. Especially since there's no telling how badly these lessons will go.

[minogame]

But I want to.

( He says it easily, like it's the most obvious thing to want to do. )

Everyone is so nice to me so I want to do nice things for everyone too.

[earthshakin]

[Terra can't help it; he reaches out and ruffles Urashima's hair]

Trust me, just being you is nice enough.

[minogame]

( One of his greatest weaknesses... Up there with head pats and turtles. He reaches up to fix his hair but his hair is the type that just stays ruffled. )

Hmmm... ( He's thinking! He's really considering this, Terra. He twists his mouth a little bit, furrows his brow, and hums a bit to himself, ) It doesn't feel like enough.

( He can't cook, he can't make anything, he can't protect anyone without being a proper shinki. Thinking about it is enough to get him a little down but he just got a hair ruffle so that isn't going to happen now. )

[earthshakin]

Trust me, sometimes just being there is more than enough.

[Terra smiles a bit]

And if you want to do more, then let's find out what you're good at. Maybe you have some secret skill you don't know you have or a hidden talent for something.

[minogame]

( Stabbing people. The hidden talent is stabbing people, Terra. The secret skill is the ability to save turtles. )

I wanna do more still.

( But the offer to find our what he's good at gets him to look up. He's definitely interested. )

It would be easier if I had a clue but... ( The lack of memories is a big problem and he's pretty aversed to poking at his missing memories. ) What're you good at, Terra?

[earthshakin]

Fighting? I'm pretty strong, too...my Keyblade turns into a sort of bike, so I'm going to see if I'm good at riding normal bikes like it when I have time.

[minogame]

( Fighting. Uwah, Terra, so cool. )

A keyblade... bike...?

[earthshakin]

Yeah.

[He summons his Keyblade, Ends of the Earth]

Keyblade. I'd turn it into my bike, but I don't know if there's enough space here right now.

[minogame]

Uwah!

( He's not scared but he sure is surprised. Pleasantly surprised. )

Is it magic?! It came from nowhere...! ( And he's holding up his hands and opening and closing his fists to show how it appears ~magically~. And he's going to start to come a little closer to get a better look but he won't try to touch it. After all, it isn't his so he shouldn't touch it unless he's offered. Urashima's a good soul. ) It turns into a bike? It looks like a sword... but like a key.

( Hence, keyblade, he gets it but he's never seen anything like this before. )

[earthshakin]

[Terra laughs a little and flips it so Urashima can take the grip and hold it for a second]

It'll come back to me in a few seconds, but you can touch it. Yeah, it's magic. It's...a little hard to explain how it works, but Keyblades are drawn to people with strong hearts.

[minogame]

( Uwah... he can touch it? The offer catches him off guard and he actually leans back from surprise. It looks... heavy and he wonders if it's okay. What if he drops it? It belongs to Terra so he shouldn't take it if he can't be careful. But he's curious and he can't help himself completely.... he reaches out carefully, only to touch the handle with his fingers. )

So you have a strong heart?

( And looking up and giving Terra a careful look and a thoughtful hum, )

Hmmm... I can see that.

[earthshakin]

[...part of Terra wants to protest, but he had just said Keyblades are drawn to strong hearts.

And he can still summon his.

Maybe Urashima has a point.]

So does Sora, though you'll have to ask Roxas if he can use one. I haven't, yet.

[minogame]

Really?

( Are these common weapons? He's never seen anything like them before, he's certain... )

... How do you fight with it? Like a regular sword? ( It looks kind of weird but he supposes that makes sense? ) And how does it change?

[earthshakin]

I'll show you when you come for lessons. I don't want to demonstrate and break something here.
