[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!]

[ She smirks. She knows she did just fine and won't let him pretend otherwise if he plans to follow that up with any sort of criticism, but he doesn't. ]

You mean the BBS? I haven't used it much myself yet...

[Yet being the key word.]

But if you can find recipes there, I bet you can find just about anything else too. It sounds really exciting.

[gentilitea]

I would much rather visit a library, or any of our gods of wisdom in the Far Shore. [ Although he may or may not have taken an interest in cooking and homemaking blogs ]

Technology can be quite forbidding. [ This comes from having a mad scientist for a god. You can’t look at so much as a toaster the same way anymore. ]

[pure_radiantics]

Oh my gosh, gods of wisdom! I didn't even think about something like that!

[But she can perhaps be forgiven since she's been here only a few days now.]

I don't know... it seems just as easy or difficult to learn as any other skill you're just starting out at - like swordsmanship, or first aid, or even butlering.

[She gives him a well-meaning smile.]

[gentilitea]

[ He has to scoff and give her a Look, at that—and not for the fact that she doesn’t know about any old gods of wisdom being available. Given what the Far Shore is like anyone can be forgiven for not knowing that such bastions of sanity exist. ]

I wouldn’t recommend it, Kairi. Such a way leads to madness. [ See: his god. ]

[pure_radiantics]

... Wait, do you meant technology leads to madness?

[She has to laugh a bit, whoops.]

If it's that difficult for you, I can always show you a few things! The phones aren't that hard for me.

[A beat, then a cheeky smile.]

Unless you meant butlering.

[gentilitea]

[ He scoffs at her cheek, albeit not by very much, because she did garnish the hors d’oeuvres most beautifully regardless of his feelings. ]

Do try to be more serious when you are being mentored, Kairi. [ Besides, it’s not like he hasn’t already figured out how to use basic appliances and such, but… ]

I don’t imagine one so young as you would have anything of value to teach me anyway.

[pure_radiantics]

Aww, come on, I was just joking!

[ She comes up beside him to see if he'll even let her into his personal space, daring to try a stealthy hug if he'll even let her get close enough to try. ]

I don't have to teach you anything to value your company, Jakob.

[ And stealth hug go!! Maybe!! And if not, she's about to run out of the room so very fast, giggling all the way. ]

[gentilitea]

[ He does no more than frown at her when she gets closer, but he doesn’t really expect a hug. Hence, when it happens he immediately stiffens up, letting the seconds tick by before it fully dawns on him that he’d just been hugged.

By a veritable stranger. And also a young lady.

Gods, if she were older he’d wonder if she were, in fact, flirting with him.

As things stand, the most he can do is grab at her shoulder, gently but firmly, in an attempt to push her away, as he exclaims— ]

T—This is most improper! Release me and attend to your duties at once!

[pure_radiantics]

[Joke's on him, because she does know how to flirt even at her age. She just wasn't doing it then.

Instead of letting go right away, she gives him one more tight squeeze and then lets go. She swipes the plate she just finished prepping and then waves at him with a big smile on her face.]

It's not improper to hug your friends, Jakob!

[She laughs and heads out from the kitchen at that point, but he can probably hear her practically skipping away at her success in two regards.]
