[OPEN] Ain't no stopping sunshine / Ain't no stopping me

[pure_radiantics]

Who: Kairi and OPEN
What: Catchall + Leo-Roxas Party Prep
When: All Month, but special prompts for July 1-2 (April 2nd-7th)
Where: The Far Shore, all over
Warnings: n/a

---
PROMPT A - All Month: Before 10am (with or without Hajime)
[ Kairi and Hajime have taken to jogging in the mornings. You could very easily flag one or both of them down to say "Hi!" You could also use it as an excuse to have your character stop by the Artemis-Baldr temple later on if they see Kairi and remember something else they want to talk about. ]

PROMPT B - July 1-2: Lunch & Early Afternoons (Nimbus Errands)
[ After Kairi's request for pictures of Roxas or Leo goes up, she'll be bouncing between picking them up, buying supplies, and checking in at Forrest's temple for his side of the party prep. How is she getting around so fast? By riding Goten's little orange cloud friend. This time she actually got permission to borrow it for the 48 hours immediately before the party, so that hopefully Roxas wouldn't notice how long she was gone just from all the walking!

Feel free to flag her down from her cloud or assume she's visiting your character for a party-related reason. ]

PROMPT C - July 1-2: Late Afternoons & Evenings (Party Prep at Baldr's Place)
[ Maybe you saw Sora's announcement about the Leo + Roxas party, or Kairi's BBS request for pictures. Or maybe you saw Kairi out jogging earlier, or riding around on Nimbus doing her errands.

The point is that after she gets that much accomplished, she'll be holed up in a locked room of the Baldr temple getting decorations ready and stocking some of the non-perishable snacks for the party. ]

PROMPT D - All Month (not July 1-2): Afternoons & Evenings (Training)
[ Kairi has mentioned more than once to more than one shinki about Spell training, and more than one god about Swordsmanship or Hand-to-Hand training. Why not follow up on her offer? They can go somewhere else entirely to train, it doesn't have to be the Artemis Temple. After all, they might bother the 17 deer and 1 bear and... all of the other animals hanging around. ]

PROMPT E - Artemis-Baldr Temple famjam CR
[ You may be interested in Kairi's other log where she regained one of her memories. Feel free to tag that one or follow up in here too. ]

PROMPT F - All Month (not July 1-2): Wildcard!
[ I'm available on frudence for plotting something out! Or if we talked about a thread previously, feel free to follow up on it here! ]

[lostinshadows]

[He did promise Kairi that they'd train together, didn't he?

Besides, it'd be a good thing for him to be out instead of dwelling on things that would risk hurting him and Cardia. So, he seeks her out, possibly sending her a text message to meet somewhere they can train together. He'd rather not try to find her god's temple if he could help it.

Meeting up somewhere and then finding a place should be good, right?]

June 30th maybe?

[pure_radiantics]

[They agree to meet at, what else, the Meeting Hall! Having only just been there too, it should be fresh in Lavi's mind.]

Lavi! Hey there, how's it going?

[It's been 8 days since they talked about it anyway.]

A

[fullcowl]

[Izuku's morning routine has always had a run in the morning- he usually doesn't see people also running around the Heavens at this time of the day.

So when he sees Kairi in the morning he'll wave at her.]

I haven't seen you jogging this early before.

A+

[birdstheword]

[Hajime blinks peering around Kairi to see Izuku soon jogging along side them. She instantly perks up, smile brightening. But even Izuku isn't stopping their pace. This is one of the few times Hajime isn't skipping or running with her arms spread. Not with this workout, nope! Though there is always a cheerful hop to her step.]

Dekuku! Hiya! I didn't know you got up this early!

[Hajime beams]

Kairi and me are jogging buddies now! You're gonna see us a lot more often.

D!

[misterfrumpyface]

[Erk has a sizable amount of notes on shinki spells, thanks in part to collaboration with others. He's been over them more times than he could hope to count. He's certain he understands them. He's certain he's capable of using them--he got the hang of borderlines fairly quickly, after all. Yet, for all his efforts, he hasn't gotten a single spell to actually work.

Perhaps what he needs is another perspective. A fresh approach. And so, he's arranged to meet with Kairi. She's shown an interest in these spells, and she seems like the type who'd be willing to help...

So Erk sits in the library (because what better place could there be to meet?) and waits for her to arrive, going over his notes for what must be the two-hundredth time.]

Re: D!

[pure_radiantics]

Erk!

[Kairi walks into the library and can't help but greet him warmly, even if she immediately gets shushed for it.]

Ah, sorry.

[After a small apologetic wave to the librarian, she quickly slides into a seat next to her friend.]

Man, you and Lavi sure have been busy! Such extensive notes...

B - because we can never have enough threads ever

[clothes_make_the_man]

[Forrest is a busy little bee when Kairi comes by his temple to check on party prep. He's working on a special commission for Niles, finishing up his gift for Roxas, and preparing some food to set out at the party once everything gets in full swing. His hair is perfect as ever, but it's clear he's been burning the candle at both ends to get it all done, and she'll catch him yawning a few times between tasks.]

lol of course

[pure_radiantics]

[She tries really hard - okay maybe not that hard - not to smile when she sees him. She just came over to see how his own preparations were coming along, coasting down on Nimbus until she can slide off of it. So when she enters the Lakshmi temple and finds Forrest working as hard as she is... well, of course she smiles.

But then the yawn comes and that gets her attention.]

Hey Forrest... What're you working on?

[She walks right up and puts a hand on his shoulder, rubbing it a little in sympathy.]

HERO!!! Training with Hajime; July 28th

[pure_radiantics]

H E R O O O O O O O Prayer N-002

[birdstheword]

[There's two benefits to being a god. One the abilty to teleport and secondly, the god power that comes with it. Hajime's, in-particularly, is a useful ability that allows her to see everyone's 'life threads' so finding Kairi is easy!

Hajime appears near Artemis' temple and makes a bee-line for the girl. Once she spots that familiar red head, she smiles warmly and twirls the thread around her fingers.]

Kairi~! Hello hello! Can you help me with something?

O R E H Prayer N-009; JUNE 28

[birdstheword]

[Just as she thought! Kairi was perfect to grab and to help her with these prayers. She's such a cute kind girl!]

Good job, Kairi! I think you really got into her heart and helped.

[Granted, that doesn't help with the money issues but it should motivate the woman to keep going and Hajime is sure everything will work out. She'll make a note to check up on the woman in the future. Hajime reaches into her back pocket to pull out her NOTE. It opens and flips to the page she needs when she holds it in her hand. Pulling a pen out next she quickly scribbles in the notebook, drawing a cute little star by the prayer she had scribbled down before. If Kairi looks over, there's a lot more on the list~]

H E R O O O ACHOO Prayer N-013 June 28th

[birdstheword]

[Back to the day care they go! Luckily, they didn't get too far so it's not that far of a walk. Even if it was, it's good exercise! Hajime follows Kairi back inside the day care where they are almost immediately greeted by the grateful woman. She scoops up the charm from Kairi's hands and holds it in her own hands like its some sort of priceless treasure. It's a heartwarming sight, Hajime can't keep the smile off her face as she takes the NOTE back out to check off another prayer done.

Of course, while the woman is thanking Kairi over and over for finding her precious charm, there's another co-worker that's having a sneezing fit. Each time, Hajime says 'bless you' no matter how many times the sneeze happens.

This makes number ten. The co-worker lets out a frustrated grunt, muttering something about getting worse and never going to get any rest like this. If only there were somebody or something that could help rid them of this sneezing fit.

Hajime shifts her gaze to Kairi. Once the cute shinki meets her gaze, Hajime's knowing smile just grows. Would you look at that. Round 3?]

H E R O 4 H I RE Prayer - N011

[birdstheword]

[Highfives and goodbyes and the Hero duo are out and about again! Hajime has her NOTE out again, clicking her tongue as she draws a cute star by another line of text. This is going even faster then she thought. It's great! Kairi is so good! No way it'd go this smooth with the boys. Maybe she should do this more often. Small cute hero prayers with Kairi and tougher ka-pow! prayers for Davesprite and Yuto! She giggles, looking to Kairi]

We're on a roll! Who'da thought there would be so many prayers to answer in one place. It's really great we stopped there.

[kokuyoyo]

[He was just going to get groceries, but he guesses this is a thing he's going to get to deal with today. He tips up the cap of his brown beanie hat.]

...Do you always shop by piling things onto a cloud...

July 2nd then~

[pure_radiantics]

Only when I'm in a huge rush!

[Kairi is clearly out of breath as she says it.]

... Oh. Have you not seen Nimbus before? I'm sorry, I forget.

[She's thinking about a lot of other things right now.]

Mission #12 - July 1 Morning [Closed to: Hajime, Izuku, Lavi, and Celestia]

[pure_radiantics]

[Kairi has seen the bustle of the decorations go up and asked the people what was going on. Tanabata they said! After a quick rundown of what Tanabata represented and how there was a real Far Shore being called Orihime who was overseeing all of the party preparations. Well, Kairi could certainly sympathize a little, so she decides she wants to visit this person.

But she also wants to bring along some cheer because she's sure that if Orihime is dealing with half of the things that Kairi and Forrest and Sora are right now, she could use a break too. So Kairi texts around to some of her friends to see if they would be interested in meeting her! A few respond right away, so the plan is now to meet at the Meeting Hall and figure out together where the Amanogawa actually is. Worst case scenario, Kairi figures they can just ask some of the Decorations people too.]

[letteropener]

[She's no Pinkie Pie, but she's used the Element of Laughter in the past. Perhaps she can help here as well.]

[Celestia appears in the Meeting Hall in a flash and crackle of light, which dissipates around her as quickly as it appeared.]

Good morning, Kairi. Thank you for inviting me.

Morning after the Tanabata festival/July 6th

[missingache]

[Having felt that Kairi was super happy about something after being upset, Roxas assumes that Kairi had spoken to this elusive Lance. The one he's yet to meet for that dinner Kairi was setting up. Did she have cold feet in the end? Gods, that feels like something that almost happened to him and Sora until he was stubborn and decided to be bold and kiss the other boy.

So after an eventful night himself (including impromptu PDA that Hajime was witness to), he's in the kitchen, enjoying a cup of iced tea. It was too warm for hot tea. Maybe he should turn the AC on...]

[pure_radiantics]

[She'd been looking for him the night before but decided to go to bed and tell him in the morning. That's good enough. Besides, it could be a long chat, she knows.

That's when she comes down for breakfast and manages to find Roxas in the kitchen. She's all smiles, not knowing if he sensed anything considering the generally good mood of the whole festival for everyone.]

Hi Roxas... is now a bad time? Something wonderful happened last night.

Wildcard, evening of the 7/8

[dreamprotector]

[Aaand true to his word, it takes a little while until Riku finds that school, but once he does he heads straight towards the entrance, looking around.]

Kairi?

[She said she'd be around here, right?]

[pure_radiantics]

[Kairi's been dozing on the lawn of the school, but she sits up when she hears Riku calling her name.]

Heya - over here. Come sit with me.

[And then she doesn't have to get up either. That's how tired she is.]

M05 w/ Nagi - afternoon of July 10th

[pure_radiantics]

[Wandering back to the school after taking a day of rest makes the most sense to Kairi, returning to see how things are going there. In the end, she finds not Hakkai but a fellow student she's only met in passing before. Without knowing him very well, the first thing she asks of course is whether he's a god or shinki.

Being a shinki means they have one simple option to practice on that doesn't require being inside a classroom with Hakkai, at least - since Kairi's been practicing spells with the other shinki a lot lately. Kind of funny that practicing a spell like Bind counts as "taking it easy" for her.

So here they are, out on the lawn of the school.]

[cyberfly]

[ Spell casting is a little different from psychic powers, he finds. Nagi isn't sure if having the aptitude for one gives you an edge for the other. But intuitively, he knows they are of different schools. Maybe that's why he thinks it could be a good idea to be trained by someone else in this.

He stands there staring at her, probably longer than is polite. ]

Where do we start?

Prayer 35, 7/7 afternoon

[fullcowl]

[He's not necessarily sure he's the right person to ask about this, but it's not like the people on the Near Shore are aware of what kind of disasters the gods and goddess of the Far Shore are.

He's not sure he'd pick a god of modesty and shame for this either, but it's a fairly simple request. "Please get my friends together."]

Well... it's to get her friends together. There they are at that table...

[After doing some research he's found the pair of them. A pair of female students that are hanging out at an ice-cream parlor.]

Do... you have any experience in this sort of thing?

Re: Prayer 35, 7/7 afternoon

[pure_radiantics]

Funny you should ask...

[Kairi laughs in a slightly embarrassed way.]

I've been trying not to let it show since you asked me to help with this, but uh...

[Now she looks kinda happy, but still anxious.]

Yes, I do. I was one of those friends. And it took a lot of things, not just courage, to get me to talk to the guy I liked so much... but we're dating now so.

[She's staring at the pair of girls now, hoping they can feel this excited soon.]

F - Spell Training (Backdated, June 23)

[noli_oblivisci]

[It'd been a few weeks since their last training session and, after the rush of prepping for the Sleepover, it was back to work for the most part. Psyche sent Kairi a message over the BBS and suggested they meet in the same spot in the park.

[Kairi would find Psyche carefully juggling a piece of balled paper in the air with light, precise hits from her shockwaves. Imperceptible waves in the air would push the paper up and down, catching it before it could hit the ground, and then it landed in Psyche's hand as Kairi approached. She smiled and said]

Hey. Glad you could make it I wasn't sure if you'd still be worn out from things.

Re: F - Spell Training (Backdated, June 23)

[pure_radiantics]

[10 days can feel like forever when you're dealing with as much as Psyche and Kairi do, but hey it gave her 10 days to review her notes as well.]

Not so much worn out... Just trying to keep my nose clean for a little while, you know?

[She smiles a little and shrugs.]

Spell training's good for that sort of thing, at least.

Morning after the Tanabata festival/July 6th

[pure_radiantics]

[After telling Roxas about what had happened at Tanabata the night before, Kairi wanders off through the Baldr-Artemis temple to find Sora too.

Now that she's gotten Roxas's blessing, she wants to make Sora knows too, then she can tell Forrest everything's okay.]

[oathkeeper]

[He's just coming downstairs looking a little sleepy and with his dream eater at his heels.]

Morning...

Mid Day

[thehandhungers]

[Owain arrives wearing his armor and dual sword sheaths. Only one has a sword in it at the moment though. He stands outside the school, posing with his hand before his face and talking to no one in particular.]

I can feel the power emanating from within these walls, waiting to wrap around prospective vessels to draw out their potential. This will be the grounds on which heroes are forged and unleashed upon the heavens for the greater good or destruction of all. Which it will be, time will tell.

[Of course it might just be easier to go in and introduce himself.]

July 8th then

[pure_radiantics]

Well I'm... glad you like the place?

[She's not sure. But it sounded cool.]

Nice to meet you - I'm Kairi. I'm not one of the teachers here or anything - I'm actually a student. You wanted to learn Borderline, right?
