[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!]

OTA unless you specify you want something closed

[Being the type of host that he is, Roxas will pretty much be up and about at times while otherwise kind of hiding out by playing video games or just kind of making himself scarce. That isn't to say that he can't be found, but he's not one for huge gatherings, yet he feels like everyone should meet each other for future references.

During the day he'll be between temples, toward the afternoon and evening he'll be more at his own temple. If you stay till the next morning, at least you'll know the breakfast being served is food that's rather edible.]

[ooc: feel free to specify just where your character is hitting Roxas up. up for anything /o/]

[Terra is...not exactly comfortable with this. Aqua vanished only a few days after he arrived and it sort of just put a huge damper on any interest he may have had in this place.

He's alone. It kind of sucks.

Still, it was nice of Roxas to invite him to meet people, so Terra is here, mostly just wallflowering with food or exploring the temple. It's kind of cool how each god has a different looking one, honestly.]

[As far as Kairi knows, she's the newest shinki at the party, which means she's pretty sure she's also the one who knows the least of what's going on. She's already done a lot of wandering - or it feels like a lot to her - having met other shinki at various temples, visited the Near shore, and generally tried to get her bearings. Then came Sousuke's post on the BBS and while it gave her a whole lot to think about, it doesn't change the fact that she wants to trust her God - Roxas, Artemis - and all of his friends.

She enjoys sitting out by the lake, where Roxas first found her, and trying to meet as many people at Artemis's temple as she can on the 21st. Then by May 22nd she starts to venture over to Baldr's temple once she realizes that she's allowed to do so and met Baldr himself, maybe.

Mostly, Kairi really wants to meet other shinki who are willing to teach her what's expected of shinki, or how to better use her powers, that sort of thing. She hasn't answered a prayer, but if it's anything like the clean-up effort on the Near Shore, it can't be too difficult, right? That's what she thought until Sousuke's BBS post anyway. She'd be very willing to talk about that in person too.]

[Hey wallflower, Roxas is going to hand you a melon soda. It was the first soda he'd drunk with the last Terra he knew.]

This is the third Aqua I've seen leave. I've lost almost forty friends now.

[He gives the other a small smile.] You're not alone, okay?

[earthshakin]

Forty friends? How long have you been here?

[Hey, melon soda. Not his favorite, but not bad. Terra takes it with a soft thank you and pops it open.]

[missingache]

About three months here. A year and a half in another place.

[He's lost enough friends but it keeps happening.]

( It's always sad when people disappear but Urashima isn't going to let that show. He's one of those people that pushes through and tries to pull others up. It's what makes him happy too so everyone can win in the end? Tht said, Urashima doesn't know Terra is upset (how would he know?). So when he sees Terra, he's waving one hand in the air and yelling as he runs towards him, )

Terra! Are you friends with Roxas too?!

( It's always great when his friends are friends with each other, uwah. )

[It's pretty much as soon as Sora arrives at Artemis' temple that he goes looking for Kairi. He'd been waiting to see her for a while after Roxas made him calm down first but it still didn't quell his impatience once they returned to the temple grounds.

He finds her soon enough near the lake and just seeing her makes a conflicted wave of feelings hit him like a truck. He's sad and happy at the same time. It feels like it's been forever since he's seen her and it takes pretty much all of his willpower not to run to her and gather her up in a hug and never let go.

Which he probably would have done if Roxas hadn't stopped him from freaking out.

But it still hurts. To see her here and to know she's a shinki. She's dead... Just like Riku was... And he wants to tell himself over and over that things will be the same eventually.

So it starts with a hello a smile and wave.]

Hey there.

[oathkeeper]

[He must be wearing Roxas down or something because this is the second "gathering" they've had in a bit and Sora is as peachy about it as can be. If they could just have people around all the time he'd be so happy but he knows Roxas probably wouldn't agree with that so he'll take his wins where he can.

After saying his hellos and doing most of the social hosting Sora will gravitate to trying to find Roxas as that has become his main habit. When he finds him playing video games he plots down next to him.]

Stay inside here all day and you might shrivel up.

[earthshakin]

And you haven't found a way home?

[He's tried his Keyblade Vehicle. Didn't work]

I'm sorry, Roxas.

[earthshakin]

[Terra looks around, smiling when he spots Urashima]

Yeah, I am. How'd you two meet?

[minogame]

( Well, Terra, it's a long story and you won't get the full version from Urashima now because he's never talked about it before and doesn't know how. Also this is a party so let's not talk about sad things??? )

Roxas is taking care of me. ( Short and simple. ) He was friends with my god... he took care of both of us for a little while but now it's just me.

( Since she left. But there are a lot of others here and that's nice. )

[missingache]

[Roxas sighs softly, pausing his game. He isn't actually mad at his partner, but it was okay to pretend, right?]

I go outside everyday now. Let me have some inside time!

[missingache]

[He shakes his head.]

I don't really have a home home to go back to. I like it here, and having Sora in the same place as me makes things a lot easier.

[earthshakin]

[...yeah, if anyone needed taking care of Terra would put money on it being Urashima. The boy's just so nice.

Kind of like Ven. Only somehow even nicer.]

That's good. I'll be honest, I was a little worried about you when I realized what your god being gone probably meant for your temple.

[earthshakin]

What do you mean, you don't have a home to go back to?

[And what does Sora have to do with any of it?]

[minogame]

( Urashima is too nice for his own good, it's true.

For a brief second, Urashima's smile drops. He hadn't even thought about the temple... not in the longest time and having it brought up again makes him remember the destruction and the circumstances behind it. He looks down at his hands, holding them in front of him and nods once, )

Mhmm, Roxas is really nice. I wish I could do more to thank him...

( And as quickly as he'd let himself get down, he's back up, )

But you don't have to worry! I have a lot of really good friends so everything is okay!

[earthshakin]

Having good friends is important, especially ones who'll help you out like Roxas has.

[Man, he misses Aqua and Ven]

Let me guess, Roxas isn't letting you do much to thank him?

[minogame]

( Urashima is the opposite and absolutely thrives at parties or anywhere with lots of people, especially if they're happy. But it doesn't take him very long to seek out Roxas. It takes him awhile because he keeps getting distracted by everyone and everything but when he finally manages to find him, he's running towards him and reaching to grab his hands like he hasn't seen Roxas in five years or something, )

Roxas!

( After that little outburst though, he does relax a bit. )

I was looking for you...!

[minogame]

Mhmm!

( And Urashima really thrives when he's around friends and family so he makes a point to stay close to them... )

Well~ ( W e e e e l l . . . ) I don't know how...

[earthshakin]

[Terra hums, thinking for a moment.]

Can you cook?

[minogame]

( He sure is shaking his head no. )

Nu-uh.

[earthshakin]

[Well there goes that idea.]

Good at any crafts?

[minogame]

( Looking... down... again... )




... No.

[earthshakin]

[Oh dear. Maybe he was younger than Terra thought...]

Well, what are you good at?
