[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!]

Well, if you're certain.

[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.

[gentilitea]

Far too long indeed, Milord. As you can see, I am doing quite well. [ Lies. He’s friendless as ever and can’t grok being here as anything other than a servant. ]

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.

[clothes_make_the_man]

I think the party can survive on its own for a little while. Promise me you'll enjoy the fruits of your labor at least a little once dinner is over.

[gentilitea]

I wouldn’t be so presumptuous, Milord. [ Not that he wouldn’t preen a little if someone compliments on his canapés or something, but he wouldn’t take even the barest smack of the lips as anything more than a performance evaluation at this point. ]

I find that good service is quite gratifying on its own.

[clothes_make_the_man]

Well, who am I to stand in the way if you're doing something you love?

[gentilitea]

Indeed. I am happy to be reassured thus by one of such great passions as yourself, Milord. Psyche is a most fortunate shinki.

[clothes_make_the_man]

That's quite the compliment coming from someone as dedicated as you.

[They're just gonna do this now, apparently.]

[gentilitea]

[ Well, he can’t be mean to Forrest. That’s more Leo’s thing, really. ]

You are too kind, Milord. But surely you did not come out of your way to prattle with a lowly servant such as myself. Might I perhaps interest you in some refreshment while you are here?

[clothes_make_the_man]

I'll just have some tea, then.

[gentilitea]

At once, Milord. [ Don’t mind him while he bustles about—Roxas has a pretty impressive kitchen for tea making, and in a funny way it sort of relaxes him to work in here. ]

And…if I might be so bold…how is Psyche doing?

[clothes_make_the_man]

[Forrest knows the score here. He's hung out with Dwyer often enough at home, after all.]

She's doing well. Things have been quiet around the temple recently, even with everything else that's been going on.

[gentilitea]

I am quite relieved to hear it. [ Even though he figures Forrest wouldn’t be a dick to Psyche. Jakob’s just that unlucky with the whole getting a new master thing. Besides he kind of likes her ]

Of course, I cannot imagine that you would run a poorly managed household.

[clothes_make_the_man]

[oh no Jakob so cute

Forrest laughs a bit at that.]

Well, Lakshmi's power does make it much easier to keep such a big place clean.

[gentilitea]

[ Theirs is a completely professional relationship dammit ]

Quite so. [ Even if privately he’s relieved his own god doesn’t have those super-cleaning abilities. He doesn’t want to be out of a job, after all.

But here he sets a fresh cup of tea before Forrest, hoping that the drink might distract him from further conversation or outright terminate it. Not because he doesn’t care to talk to Forrest, but because he’d hate to waste the god’s time and also he doesn’t want to be questioned too deeply on the nature of his relationship to Psyche.

Not that there is one, or anything. ]

But please feel free to enjoy yourself for the time being, Milord. My own domestic skills might not be up to par with your godly prowess, but I can assure you that I have not allowed even a single stain to linger upon this temple.

[clothes_make_the_man]

[Don't let Forrest find out, he will meddle so much.

He smiles, picking up the tea and blowing gently on it before taking a small sip.]

Of course. I have the utmost faith in your abilities, Jakob.
