[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!]

[Oh Roxas, he just didn't know you wanted to make out so bad right now ;D]

Well nothing's stopping you now, right? We've got nothing going on aside from getting Kairi settled. Go do some work with Raichi, Senri and her.

[He grins.] And there's always giving Axel a crash course on Ayakashi butt kicking.

[He'll encourage Roxas until the cows come home to go forth and adventure. It'll make him happy.]

[missingache]

[:|||| ]

Kairi's pretty settled in already. She gets used to new stuff fast. [.... Oh. Axel.] He invited us to his place for a sleepover sometime and to hang out.

[oathkeeper]

[So yes, he'll lean in again for another kiss and this one will be slower and sweet.

When he leans back he nods.] He did, did he? Let's do that then. Still feels weird to know he's back but I'm happy he is.

[missingache]

[Kisses will be a good incentive if you want things done, Sora.]

Yeah. He doesn't have a shinki, so he's all alone there... And I'm happy he's back. He remembers me, and being around him again is great. I didn't mind the other Axel but I missed my best friend. I gotta lot of stuff to tell him.

[oathkeeper]

Yeah you do. I'm happy for you, Roxas.

[He smiles, though it's a little smaller than usual. He's happy for Roxas to have Axel back, he really is. But he can't help feel a little sad and miss Riku in that moment.

He looks down at their intertwined fingers and squeezes.

It's nice to be able to see Kairi once in a while even though she doesn't remember him. And he still has to hold onto the hope that Riku would be back someday. Sora wonders if this is what growing up is supposed to be like. This weird imbalance in his life.]

You gonna tell him all about Koriko?

[missingache]

[Watching Sora with that smile nowhere near as bright as usual makes Roxas' stomach drop slightly. There was nothing he could really do about the situation, so he takes a moment to let there be some silence between them.]

Yeah. Not all of it. Not the painful parts. Not parts I only want you to know about either. I know he's my best friend, but there's things I don't want him to know. Like how I died.

[oathkeeper]

[It's true no one could really do anything about that but Sora still goes through the motions of it from time to time. It's too hard to forget.]

It'll be nice for him to know some stuff about it. You did a lot of growing up there, lots happened. But yeah probably better you don't tell him the painful parts. He also doesn't remember anything about the exams so I kind of steered clear of that stuff.

[He's not sure how Axel would handle that information.]

[missingache]

[Here's to hoping that if Riku returns, it's as a god. For Sora.]

He'll wanna hear about some bad things... I'll tell him about that dating auction. That'll make him laugh, too.

[oathkeeper]

[Sora blinks.]

... Dating auction? Did you tell me about that? What's that about?

[SOUNDS SCARY.]

[missingache]

I think I told you a little... I don't remember... [Huge sigh.]

The Witch decided a good way to make money fast was to set up an auction. Every event she had was a required to be attended, but not everyone was being auctioned. Some volunteered. Most people were like me and forced to be up there because the Witch thought we would bring her in money. [This is gonna sound awkward.] I won my friend Leona, since we could bet, too, and Killer. They had spirits bidding on them and I didn't want them getting stuck with that.

[This is gonna be awkward.] I had a spirit and two workers bidding on me. Killer was trying to return the favor, and then the other worker jumped in. Killer and the spirit backed off when the other worker looked ready to cry, and I went to them.

[oathkeeper]

[He vaguely remembers something about this.

As he listens his expression changes from puzzled to sort of amused. He even starts laughing a bit.]

Looks like you guys really worked the system! I didn't know you were so popular, Roxas!

[Well, he's not really surprised Roxas is popular. He is good looking after all. He's so proud.]

[missingache]

Popular?

[How????]

I don't get how.

[oathkeeper]

[He nudges Roxas.]

Three people bidding on you? That's popular. Even if Killer was only trying to return the favor, you were still bid on!

[missingache]

[Roxas looks very embarrassed now.]

Y-You would have gotten a lot more bids!

[oathkeeper]

[Sora laughs warmly and moves to gently throw his arms around Roxas and squeezes him.]

Yeah right, but thanks for thinking that! You're really cute, Roxas.

[missingache]

[With a soft smile, Roxas wraps his own arms around Sora.]

Cute? You're a lot cuter. You can ask anyone.

[oathkeeper]

[Just~ gonna lean his weight on Roxas enough that they flump over sideways.]

Anyone at this party with all our friends? They'd say we both are, so agree to agree.

[their secret wedding party]

[missingache]

[Wow rude. Not like he'll complain. Someone else might but hey they can always leave the room.]

Nope. Never.

[yeah but who's in the wedding party]

[oathkeeper]

[Sora snickers and shifts so he's practically flopped on top of Roxas.]

So, if I'm the cute one then you're the good-looking one. Handsome.

[He starts laughing because it's true but also he never thought he'd call someone that.]

[missingache]

[Roxas just grumbles about that. It's warm and he might fall asleep now.]

Nah. I don't want to be the good looking one. I just want to be me.

[Though he is blushing now.]

[oathkeeper]

[Too bad, Roxas has to deal with Sora settled on top of him. He lets out a happy sigh.]

You are you, dummy. But also good looking. Your year in Koriko was good to you.

[missingache]

[Then Sora has to deal with Roxas playing with his hair.]

I was there over a year, and how? I'm just taller, stronger, and older. I don't get how that has to do with my looks.
