[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!]

[Sora gets a playful tweak to his nose.]

I'm just teasing!

[Okay half-teasing, but Sora's expression was priceless.]

I just didn't want you to have to hold back that much, but if you're going to pout like that, it's fine.

[oathkeeper]

[He swats at her hand just as playfully.]

I'm not pouting!

[He's pouting.]

Teaching you is one thing, and when you get good enough we can spar for real and you can kick my butt properly then.

[He just want to help teach you, Kairi!!!]

[pure_radiantics]

[Well now she's just laughing at the stupid face he's making.]

Kick your butt, huh? Okay, that would be pretty awesome to have happen, but that's gonna be awhile before that happens.

[She grins at him.]

So you're gonna have to put up with teaching me for a really long time if you want to get your butt kicked properly.

[oathkeeper]

[Sora straightens up like a soldier going to war, his expression serious and eyes sparkling with determination.]

I'll stick around as long as it takes! To get my butt kicked by Kairi! It would be an honor!

[And his expression cracks into a grin again and he starts laughing. Yeah, he knows that sounded really dorky. But... it's true. He would help her learn... as long as it takes.]

[pure_radiantics]

[She goes from laughing a little to laughing a lot.]

Sora!

[Both of her hands are over her mouth as she starts to bend at the waist, then one hand goes to hold her stomach.]

How does anyone keep a straight face around you?

[But she does eventually stop giggle-fitting long enough to look up at him from her hunched over position.]

I'll earn that honor - you can count on it.

[oathkeeper]

[Her laughing so much makes his heart feel warm. It feels like it's been a long time since he's heard her sound so happy! It feels like things are normal again and this could be any other time on the island together. All that this scene needed was Riku calling him a dork and shaking his head at them and everything would be right in the universe and stars.]

Most people make weird faces around me, it's true.

[Sora jokes, giving a light shrug. Then he smiles happily.]

I have no doubts that you'll be a natural at this.

[pure_radiantics]

[She likewise recognizes that he's the kind of person whose smile can be infectious enough to light up a room. Roxas found a keeper, in her opinion.]

I'll try to keep them less on the weird side and more on the 'serious student' side when we meet for lessons.

[Then she pulls out her phone to take some notes.]

What's your schedule like? You'll have to tell me how often too.

[oathkeeper]

[Kairi, organized as always. Sora wasn't even thinking about a schedule for this. He taps his cheek.]

Wanna start with once or twice a week? We can use Roxas' temple or mine, I don't think that matters too much. And for a couple of hours each time.

[Sora doesn't have a set job outside his god responsibilities since he's got quite a large following and such. Prayer work with his shinki is pretty much when they feel like it too.]

[pure_radiantics]

Twice is probably good. Enough to get some instructions and then let me go practice for awhile.

[But she nods in excitement.]

I'm sure we'll see each other around. A couple of hours sounds great.

[She smiles again.]

I should see if I can help with snacks at all, but it was really nice meeting you, Sora!

[oathkeeper]

[Sora nods vigorously. With the plans set in stone he nods and looks slightly puzzled when Kairi says "nice meeting you, Sora!" because what?]

Huh? [Hgnnnnn. It's going to be really hard to adjust to Kairi saying things like that. He almost got caught up with talking with her like nothing had changed. Sora quickly corrects himself.] Yeah! Right. You too, Kairi. I'll catch you later.
