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

Open
[ Whilst laboring under the delusion that Roxas had invited him here to help with the party rather than enjoy it, Jakob can be found roving about Artemis’s side of the festivities for the most part, carrying either a pitcher of iced tea or a carafe of fresh coffee as well as a smile (which may or may not be strained depending on the person addressed), which he nevertheless plies to you with a short bow: ]
Care for a drink?
ii. If you can’t take the heat… (evening, 21st)
[ Artemis’s kitchen is an architectural and culinary wonder and every time Jakob steps into it he almost doesn’t want to leave. Now especially, as the party progresses and the evening wanes, he finds himself visiting the kitchen more and more frequently, either to prepare another set of edibles or to simply take five from all that socializing out there.
Sometimes a guy just has to drop that hospitable smile and stop being a servant for a bit.
When he hears someone stepping inside he doesn’t bother to look behind him before addressing the intruder: ]
Please be patient. The hors d’oeuvres will be served presently.
Wildcard! (anytime, 21st–22nd)
[ He’ll be staying for the most part in Artemis’s temple, doing the butler thing like serving guests food or preparing food or politely…yelling at people to get the fuck away from the lake or even cleaning up any messes someone might leave behind, ever on the alert in case Roxas feels like ordering him around (he…doesn’t). Of course, from time to time he will wander to Baldr’s side of the party, quite judiciously trying to
avoid making friendsact professional. ]2
Ah... are you sure you wouldn't like some help? You've been working so hard, and I'm sure Sora and Roxas want you to be able to relax as well.
no subject
Lord Forrest, if I am not mistaken? Please do not trouble yourself on my account. I can manage myself well enough.
no subject
[He won't push too hard. He knows Jakob takes pride in his work.]
How have you been getting along? We haven't spoken in some time.
no subject
I am merely ensuring that this party goes on as smoothly as possible. And I am certain that you would rather indulge in more esteemed company than mine.

[She has to laugh a bit - it's way too fancy a word for the casual get-together isn't it?]
No, no, I came to see if you needed any help. I heard someone was serving snacks so...
no subject
That’s very nice of you. But I assure you, young lady, that I have everything under… [ Turning around at last, he takes one look at her and is struck with a brief sense of déjà vu. Data-Roxas was his former god, and Naminé had been an acquaintance. ]
…control. [ Clearing his throat. ] Never you mind me.
no subject
If you have everything under control, then that means I won't be in the way either, right?
[She tries to take a look at what all he's working on.]
Maybe you could even teach me? This temple is my home now.
no subject
I— [ A peevish demand that she return to the party and enjoy herself dies at that reply, and he clams up for the moment, regarding her with a bit more scrutiny. ]
Well, I suppose it wouldn’t hurt. [ And he can’t have Roxas dealing with incompetent shinki in his household, after all. Motioning to a tray of smoked salmon canapés, he adds, ]
You wouldn’t have any trouble garnishing these, would you?
no subject
YES!
[Wait, garnish...]
Uhm...
[She walks on over to where he's gesturing and smiles at him.]
I won't if you show me how to at least once?
[But first - she runs off to wash her hands at the sink]

Y-yes, please!?
( How can he refuse such a polite offer!? )
no subject
Then again he does take this butlering gig way too seriously. On the other hand that means he can balance a tray with one hand, pour that iced tea out into a glass with the other, and hand it to Urashima with a smile. ]
no subject
No... it's just... you're really polite.
( That's literally it. Jakob is so polite and Urashima is just a peasant. )
It's a little embarrassing...
( For Urashima, that is. )
no subject
He’s not wrong, no matter how much Jakob denies it. ]
You needn’t bow to the help, by the way. And straighten your shoulders. You can at least maintain proper posture within Lord Roxas’s temple.
no subject
( STANDING STRAIGHT, SHOULDERS BACK, HEAD UP... still holding this glass with both hands like its precious china. Uwah, he's trying his best, Jakob. )
You started it! ( The bowing, that is. ) I only did it because you did first!
( And why Lord Roxas... look, it took Urashima like a week and a half to drop the -san and go to -kun for Roxas was he supposed to be -sama'ing it the whole time... )

[Yep, that's Sora behind Jakob looking a little amused with a smile pulling at his lips.]
You know you don't have to do all that stuff, right? You're supposed to be relaxing with all of us.
[And he's allowed to say that because this is partly his party too, right? Right. Sora practically lives here! So enjoy yourself!]
no subject
Preposterous. [ He rubs at his temples as if a headache might come on, and with that megawatt smile of Sora’s, it’s not an entirely far-fetched ailment. ]
What good would I be to Lord Roxas otherwise?
no subject
Hmm... Really, you're allowed to hang out. You're all irritated looking. You're gonna get wrinkles. Take a break?
[He's got to laugh a little when Jakob calls Roxas Lord Roxas though. It's still really strange to hear.]
no subject
I was catching my breath for a moment before you came in here. [ And apparently that’s all he needs?? Sighing again, ]
Was there something you needed?
no subject
Just checking in on you, really.
[He grins.]
You like doing this sort of thing, don't you?

And... did that mean he should leave? Or wait until they're done? He hesitates in the doorway uncertainly.]
no subject
May I help you?
no subject
After a moment, he shakes his head. He really doesn't need any help right now.]
no subject
Then whatever are you here for? [ He’s getting this sneaking suspicion that Senri’s out to prank him somehow… ]
