[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!]

Jakob!

[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!]

[gentilitea]

[ That voice… He sighs, turning to face Sora. ]

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?

[oathkeeper]

[Yeah, but dialing it down isn't really party of Sora's body composition. Shine shine.]

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.]

[gentilitea]

[ Gah, the friendliness radiating off of him. It burns. ]

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?

[oathkeeper]

[Don't start hissing now, Jakob.]

Just checking in on you, really.

[He grins.]

You like doing this sort of thing, don't you?

[gentilitea]

[ It’s hard not to look indignant when Sora says that—“just checking in” is the kind of thing Add would tell him, too, as if he’s far too incompetent to handle a simple party like this.

With a huff: ] I am always happy to be of service to Lord Roxas. [ So there. ]

So you needn’t bother with me.

[oathkeeper]

[Sora decides to cross his arms in some sort of attempt to look "lord-like" himself.]

Oh, I think I do need to bother with you if you're of service to Lord Roxas, because doesn't that make you're half in service to me too?

[He's still grinning.]

[gentilitea]

…! [ He’s taken aback despite Sora’s failure to look properly intimidating as a lord, but yes, he most definitely is aware that he should be showing Sora some respect, never mind that Jakob is actually less of an asshole to him than most.

Which still isn’t saying much, but you know. Gotta look after May, too…

So with a frown and a huff he looks Sora squarely in the eye, refusing to back down from…from whatever this is!!! ]

Then…what do you require?

[oathkeeper]

[Wow, that worked?! Checkmate!!!

Sora grins bright as the sun and then gestures for Jakob to get the heck out of the kitchen.]

I require you go outside and sit near the fire and relax! Maybe eat some of this great food you got ready!

[gentilitea]

[ ...What. ]

But that is unacceptable! [ He’s not sure what Sora’s plotting here, but it’s definitely insidious. ]

Young man, I will not stand for any of your jokes tonight.

[oathkeeper]

I'm not joking! Why is it unacceptable? [Sora says quickly, not wanting Jakob to backtrack on him.]

Just have something to eat and sit down for a little while. Then you can go back to helping out around here, okay? Fifteen minutes of hanging out, at least?

[Sora's being completely sincere. There is more than enough help around here to keep the party stocked. Jakob didn't need to work so hard.]

[gentilitea]

[ Dammit Sora he doesn’t know how to attend a party as anything other than the help. Even if having a pleasant meal by the fire is something he misses doing back when Data-Roxas was around…! ]

What good would that even do? I am not hungry. [ And the only thing he’s tired of is dealing with the overly friendly guests here. ]

[oathkeeper]

[Sora has half a mind to look for Aymeric and find that wine be brought and give it to Jakob as a gift. Alcohol is supposed to relax people and make them laugh, isn't it? He doesn't really know, but that's what he's heard. He just wants to see if it's possible for Jakob's face to smile and laugh.]

It would help you be a part of the party rather than working for the party, you dummy! It would make Roxas and me happy!

[Sora sighs and shakes his head, looking amused.]

[gentilitea]

[ That gives him pause. It wouldn’t do to make Roxas unhappy, after all. ]

Are you sure a small thing like that would make Lord Roxas happy? [ He has his suspicions. Oh, and you’re also still kind of insidious to him, Sora. Sorry. ]

[oathkeeper]

I'm super sure! [Sora says without skipping a beat.] We invited everyone over to have fun and relax and meet each other, so you don't have to work so hard. The fire out back is great! And the food!

[But he is quickly realizing that Jakob likes doing these kinds of things too so he's not gonna completely bar him from doing it. But a break is 100% a must.]

[gentilitea]

[ Okay you know what he has to scoff a little because of course the food is great he made it and yet— ]

But I don’t really see how that has anything to do with me… [ Unless someone’s making a mess, anyway. Try not to play with fire while he’s around, kids! ]

[oathkeeper]

[Is Jakob gonna make Sora use the F-word on him? Because he'll do it. He will.

Sora makes another face and then promptly goes over to Jakob and behind him and starts to push him gently towards the way to the back where everyone is enjoying the firepit.]

Come on, no more belly aching.

[gentilitea]

[ ANYTHING BUT THAT— ]

Oh, of all the— [ DEEP SIGH. ] You needn’t trouble yourself, Sora. I am perfectly capable of taking myself outside.

[oathkeeper]

Then let's goooooo. [Puussssh.

And out the door they go. Feel that fresh air, Jakob? Isn't it fantastic?!]

[gentilitea]

[ Yes yes, it’s perfect stabbing weather and everything. And for hanging laundry out to dry, maybe.

Regardless, he grudgingly lets Sora drag him outside. ]

Must you be in such a hurry? I thought the entire point of all this was leisure…

[oathkeeper]

[Sora laughs brightly and move to tug Jakob over to the fire pit anyway, ignoring his continued fussing. There's chairs around a large fire that's flickering with life and a collection of items to snack on nearby.

Smores in summer? Maybe? Yes!]

Sit! Enjoy! Let's talk more!

[gentilitea]

[ Look he thinks the fire is stupid and hazardous and that has totally nothing to do with unceremoniously dying by dragon. Besides what if they run out of food while he’s dallying over here?! ]

We have nothing to talk about. [ He’s going to fight him all the way. ]

[oathkeeper]

[With the mountain of food Jakob made, there's food for weeks. They could be cut off from the rest of the heavens and still be okay. Jakob you need to inhale sometimes.]

Come on, tell me what it's like living with Add. [There's gotta be some weird stories there.]

[gentilitea]

[ But why chill when you can be a grouchy old killjoy instead— ]

It’s quite difficult, if you must know. [ Ah, Sora might have pushed a button there… ]

His very temple is outright confusing to navigate and he is constantly tinkering with technology he is hardly responsible enough to manage!

[oathkeeper]

[Sora looks immensely curious. So much he sits down and scoots his chair closer with his chin on his hand.]

Tinkering with those weird floating cubes, right? Is his temple like a maze then? He always teleports right behind me and scares the crap out of me. Does he do that to you, too?

[Nothing like bonding over weird Add habits.]
