---
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! ]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Kairi peers down at the NOTE and smiles at the doodles. She really is a good artist, isn't she?]

A hero? No way...

[She tucks some of her hair behind her ears.]

I'm just... doing what I can. I didn't even think that was three! It kind of felt like one big help for that poor jinxed daycare!

[But then she observes the next item on Hajime's list and points to it.]

What's that - something about finding a job?

[Hajime shakes her head, sighing as she closes the NOTE and lightly bonks Kairi on the head with it.]

Bzzt! Wrong! Kairi, that's what heroes do! Doing what they can to help! It's not always about fighting or saving people from a burning building! You're helping someone in need no matter how big or small it is, that's what's important! Small things add up more then you think!

[Hajime opens the NOTE to glance back to the one Kairi pointed to]

Yeah...someone needs a job. That's actually.....ah! That's super ultra close! Lets go!

[With that, she reaches for Kairi's hand and pulls her into another jog. Go go go! Luckily its just around the corner]

... Really?

[She's not 100% on board with believing that quite yet, but it does... make sense. There are how many hundreds of stories out there about heroes and knights and princes and all kinds of people who fight monsters, but there are other stories too where they're just... in their own hometown, helping out everyday people with things they aren't sure about either.

Hmm... 'Small things add up more than you think...']

Ah, okay!

[And off they go! Kairi's definitely getting her exercise in today! They round the corner and by then Kairi's actively jogging next to Hajime instead of being dragged there.]

Find a job... find a job... how do people find jobs NORMALLY? I couldn't even think of one as a shinki!

[It's once they round another corner that Hajime comes to a sudden halt. She holds onto Kairi's hand in case it's to fast and the girl ends up stumbling. There's another woman sitting on a bench, staring hopelessly at ads on a flyer. Of course, not every place that needs another employee uses ads to get word out]

Here, we are!

[Hajime nudges Kairi again, smile big.]

So, she's having trouble finding a job. I wonder what would be a good place to work that could an extra set of hands....Somewhere that's struggling with employees that have a lot going on in their own lives too.

... You don't think--

[Kairi's not normally that quick on the uptake but they LITERALLY just came from there after all.]

And it's right around the corner, so if she lives around here...

[Kairi doesn't need another word, just walks right up to the woman and tries to push gently on the flyer.]

Hey ma'am? Are you good with kids?

[Hajime follows along behind Kairi, letting her take the lead though.

The woman looks up startled but regards the question thoughtfully before nodding]

"Oh, yes. I have two little boys of my own. It's just been hard and my husband isn't getting that many hours at work. Children I can handle"

Boy, do we have the perfect job for you then~!

[Hajime grins, clapping her hands together.]

Come on, we'll show you!!

[Together, Kairi and Hajime laugh and pull her up. If they weren't so excited for her, the woman might have just run off, but they're both so genuine in the way they're talking about the job and trying to help her out that she follows along. Kairi and Hajime have to literally bounce around each other in order to work off some of that energy, but gradually the trio makes it back to the daycare.]

TA~DA~!!

[Kairi gestures at the front of the building.]

They could use some part time help right about now - unfortunately one of their workers might need to take a few days off from being sick. She's fine, don't worry! We're friends of hers and got her some medicine. But she should probably still rest for a day or two. And then, you'll be able to help out long enough to prove to them what a good worker you are!

[The woman's face starts to light up as Kairi describes it before nodding nervously and walking inside to ask about the extra help they might require.]
