[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!]

[missingache]

[Roxas barely had time to try anything he made, but this is one of his favorite recipes...]

Have you tried some of the other stuff?

[bear_necessities]

[Nodnod. He tasted almost everything. But only actually ate the sweet things. Because if you have a choice why would you eat anything else?

Honestly this was so good he's sorry to give it up, but it's worth it if Roxas enjoys it.

Also Senri will be settling in now to quietly watch Roxas enjoy it. Sorry. ]

[missingache]

[Do neither of his male shinki eat well? This has to change...]

I'm glad! It took a lot longer than I thought to make all that food...

[..... What is going on]

[bear_necessities]

[Concerned head tilt. Has this party caused a lot of trouble for Roxas? Maybe Senri should have helped? But Roxas hadn't ordered him to....

This is complicated. Hesitantly, he asks....]

Hard...?

[Was it difficult? And was that his fault?]

[missingache]

[Hard? He thins it over for a moment before nodding.]

Yeah. Sora can't cook that well yet so I didn't have help from him, and I don't think any of my shinki can cook. Sorry...

[bear_necessities]

[Pause. Frown. Head tiiiilt.

Having even less memories than usual makes things confusing at best, but Senri is pretty sure that he does know a bit about cooking. Not that he remembers where he learned the skills, but one of his primary duties when he was Crystala's slave was to assist her cook. It kept him out of the way and gave him simple, repetitive tasks. He's good at those.

Actually, the thing that has kept him mostly away from the kitchen here is the fancy modern gadgets. Those are intimidating...]

[missingache]

[Roxas tilts his head as well.]

Wait... can you cook?

[bear_necessities]

[He has no real way to judge his own level of skill, but.....

Senri nods. He can cook. At least a little.]

[missingache]

Then how about we try doing something together? I can show you how to use the stuff in the kitchen.

[Make it less scary?]

[bear_necessities]

[An eager nod. He would like that. Both because it would give him more to do and because it might make him more useful to Roxas.]

[missingache]

[Good. Then it's decided.]

How about the next day I'm not that busy?

[bear_necessities]

[nodnod. It's not as if Senri has anything on his schedule. Any day Roxas is free is fine with him. He is excited about this in particular though. Because maybe if does a good job it will make Roxas happy.]

[missingache]

[It'll make Roxas happy not to be the only one cooking all the time. Everyone has such big appetites...]

I'll know where to find you... I think.

[bear_necessities]

[Senri considers that. He usually isn't that hard to find. Is he? Half the time when Roxas is home he just puppy dogs after him anyway. Sometimes he wanders around outside though. Hmm....]

Call...?

[That's his advice. He'll dutifully come whenever Roxas calls.]

[missingache]

[Just because Senri puppy dogs doesn't mean Roxas is aware he's being followed. He's just that used to it now.]

I will if I'm coming home and you're not here. Wait, where's your phone?

[bear_necessities]

...Phone?

[Senri meant for Roxas to call for him verbally. Since he's in the habit of staying close by anyway, and his hearing is pretty good, he'll almost certainly hear him.

The phone is still a baffling device made of flashing light and ever deepening mystery. If he was ever given one, Senri almost never touches it.]

[missingache]

... [He sighs and pulls his out. Fiddling around with it, Roxas shows that he has pictures by some of the names.] I can set yours that when you see my picture, all you have to do is push a button and you can hear me.

[Simple, right?]

[bear_necessities]

[He nods, watching closely. Push a button when he sees a picture of Roxas. That does sound simple enough.

And really useful. He had no idea these 'phone' things could be used that way.]

[missingache]

So... where's your phone?

[Please let it be in one piece.]

[bear_necessities]

.....

[A moment of silence. He hasn't thought much about it since the first day he arrived. But it's probably still in the pouch on his belt. He checks.

It's there. It's a little scuffed and smudged, and he has to brush some wood chips off of it, but otherwise it's fine. He holds it out for Roxas.]

[missingache]

[He takes it and opens it, moving around so he could show Senri what he was doing. Wow these things sure hold their charge...

He clicks on the camera and takes a selfie of himself, scrolls through the contacts, and clicks on his own. With a few more presses the picture is set.]

There.

[To show Senri what he meant, Roxas calls his phone. Sure enough, his picture pops up on Senri's screen.]

Just push the green button when that happens and hold it to your ear. You can hear me that way. Okay?

[bear_necessities]

[He looks down at the phone uncertainly. Then very carefully, as if afraid he might break it, Senri gently pokes the green button. Then looks back at Roxas. Was that right?]

[missingache]

[Roxas nods, then holds up a finger and walks to where Senri can't hear him. He lifts his phone up to his ear.]

Senri? Can you hear me?

[bear_necessities]

Ah-?!

[Senri makes a surprised sound and very nearly drops the phone. Because that is definitely Roxas. He's... not sure how though. Will sniffing the phone provide some clue? It won't but you can't blame him for trying.]

[missingache]

[Yeah, he can hear the sniffing. Roxas laughs softly.]

Phones are used to hear other people from far away. I'm over by the deer.
