[Closed] At least there's adults at this party

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.]

[Really, though, what isn't cool about watching someone do something that's totally beyond your own skill set?

So, he watches. Quietly, but it would be hard to really call him 'patient'. He's normally a pretty constant fountain of energy, so while he's not trying to be distracting, he is fidgeting and shifting quite a bit while Senri works. But, you know, don't mind him!]


That's really amazing...! [It's an awed tone, but it's not exactly a soft remark. He can't really help it, though, watching the little details getting worked in like that makes the figure really incredible, he thinks!] Kahaha!

[Amazing? Is it? As he puts the finishing touches on the squirrel, he frowns. It's cute. But he doesn't think it's anything special. But if Raichi likes it....

Senri holds out the finished figure to his fellow shinki with a small smile.]

[Getting to watch something so detailed and small being created is amazing, absolutely! He can't imagine doing anything like that himself.

He does not, however, take the offering of the figure as, well, an offering. He kind of just thinks Senri's showing off his handiwork, and who wouldn't? So, Raichi leans in a little closer to get a better look at the squirrel.]


Man, that's really cool, how do you even do that?
bear_necessities: (confusion)

[personal profile] bear_necessities 2017-01-14 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[He frowns. Senri had actually thought it was obvious how he did it. Hadn't Raichi been watching?

Oh, well. Only one thing to do. First, he very gently takes one of Raichi's hands, and places the squirrel in it. Because that is for him.

Then he selects another small piece of wood from the pile he's collected.

He'll just have to carve another. That should clear up the process.]

[In theory it's easy to grasp, just whittle away... but that dexterity! In practice, it's mind blowing for sure! Even more so with the little thing actually in his hand, now that he can get an up close look at it, turn it over, and really appreciate the work put into it.

Regardless, he will more than happily watch a second one get crafted. After a short moment, a thought occurs to him, and he speaks up with a slightly confused,]
Oh, um, is this for me...?

[At least he caught on eventually?]

[nodnod. Yes, this is for him. And he continues carving the new one. But Senri stops every now and then this time to show Raichi how the carving is progressing. Since he did ask how it was done.]

[How considerate of him! It doesn't really explain a whole lot, mostly because of the inherent skill gap, but it's still really fascinating to watch.]

Is it fun?

[It feels like.... a good way to clear your mind, if you're good at it, or a fantastic way to get frustrated if you aren't, he thinks.]

[personal profile] bear_necessities 2017-01-31 11:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hmm...is it? He holds up the carving and tilts his head as if that will somehow get the half finished squirrel to reveal it's secrets.

After a moment he nods. It's relaxing. So that probably counts as fun.]

[Raichi would agree, that's a pretty good way of figuring out if something's fun or not! But that kind of thing is still pretty subjective...]

I don't know if I'd have the patience for it.

[Just watching is easy enough, and Senri makes it look simple, but it's probably not that easy for a totally beginner.

And - hang on, wait, he forgot something earlier!]
Thanks! By the way. For this one. [He holds up the first little squirrel, letting it rest carefully against his fingers as one might do with a particularly delicate object.]

[Senri smiles. He's glad Raichi likes it. He'll make him more things once he has a better idea of what Raichi likes.]
