[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!]

Comments

[galactically]

[It's nostalgic and amusing to her all at once, being able to poke someone in the back like that. First Alto, then Slaine, and now Roxas...]

Hi~!

[She steps back and waves hello, her tone all sing-songy and grinning from ear to ear. Being able to surprise him like this is enough for a laugh to come out. Sorry, Roxas]

You looked so focused, I just couldn't resist.

[missingache]

H-Hey!

[Be still his racing heart....... The laugh does ease some of the anxiety from being snuck up on. Doesn't Sheryl wear heels????]

Huh? Oh! I'm in a puzzle level... I'm not the greatest with those.

[galactically]

Puzzle level?

[Smoothing down her dress, Sheryl plops down next to Roxas with a curious lilt to her tone as she crosses one leg over the other. And yes, those are definitely heels on her feet! She's adept at maneuvering around with those thanks to constant practicing for concerts.]

My, that looks so hard to finish. How long have you been playing?

[missingache]

[Heels are a reason Roxas is glad Shiro wore flats when he got stuck in her body. Walking around in geta was hard enough back in Koriko.]

Today or since I got here?

[He started playing because Sora was playing them.]

[galactically]

Oh, I mean today. I don't think I've ever played a game like this.

[She says with a slight squint on her end, tilting her head a little at the screen. It's not like she had that much time to play video games during her usual busy schedules, though she must admit that it looks fun.]

[missingache]

Do you wanna try it?

[He offers get the controller.] Press select and it'll give you a rundown on the buttons.

[galactically]

I'd love to, Roxas! Thanks.

[With a smile, she takes the controller and shifts her grip around it, her expression rather determined. This will be Sheryl's first time playing this type of game.]

Okay, so tell me how this works. What do these do?

[missingache]

[Ever hear of a great game called Portal? Well guess what you're playing! Of course he'll be nice and press a couple of buttons to start a new game for her.]

The tutorial gives you instructions and the point of the game is to survive each experiment.

[galactically]

[Sheryl makes an "oooh" sound as her mouth forms into an "O" shape, glancing at the screen before her.]

Survive each experiment? And those are supposed to be puzzles?

[What's this? Is that a portal gun? She gasps at the machine before her, looking in wonder because damn.]

Wait, I get to carry around this huge gun? This is great! I can shoot things!

[missingache]

Yeah! [Uhmmmmm...] You can shoot walls. The walls have a special panel on them so you can make a portal between things like platforms, or drop things down. The tutorial will let you know how to do it right.

[galactically]

So you're saying I can make portals with this?

[Time to try out these portals! Sheryl presses a button on the controller, and as she does so, a blue portal forms on a wall. Another press, another portal — this time in orange so she can maneuver the character on the screen in between them.]

Look, I can jump in between those!

[missingache]

[Oh you're so precious Sheryl. Roxas nods.]

It's how you're supposed to get around. That and jumping, but sometimes it's too far to jump.

[galactically]

[Don't mind Sheryl as she continues playing around with the portals on screen. She may or may not be immersed in them enough to curl her lips in frustration and yelp after watching her character fall down to a pit.]

What?! I don't understand! I made my jumps high enough!

[missingache]

[Now you see why this game is evil?]

The physics in this game are weird even with the added jump shoes.

[galactically]

The physics are broken, that's what. Totally broken!

[It's so easy for her to smash the buttons in annoyance as it does yelling at the screen. Let it be said that she keeps trying, come hell or high water, no matter how hard she creases her nose.]

Sheryl Nome won't lose to this!

[missingache]

[Roxas has to over his mouth as to not laugh at her struggles. Did she know she was cute when she was angry like this? As long as there was no tossing a controller at the screen, he'll just sit here and watch her.]

[galactically]

[So much for patience, Sheryl pretty much threw that out the window, annoyed huffs and all. She grips the controller a little tightly than intended, casting a look at Roxas with a squint.]

W-What?

[Does she look that embarrassing getting into this game? Does she?]

[missingache]

[Now Roxas can't help but let out a chuckle.]

You're kinda cute right now.

[galactically]

Cute?

[Sheryl blinks in confusion for a moment while she takes the time to simmer the hell down, then lets out a puff of breath. She may or may not be a little embarrassed.]

Geez, this game is ridiculous!

[missingache]

[Roxas nods. It must be true if he says it, yes?]

It is, but it's still a lot of fun to play.
