Who: The Kingdom Hearts cast (+ their shinki, if they so choose)
Where: Selene's Temple
When: March 29, late afternoon to evening, and onto March 30
What: A sleepover!
Warnings: None, and there probably won't be any. Will update if necessary.

[ Axel, Sora, the Riku Replica, Ventus, and both Roxases--they've all been notified by text that Naminé's hosting a sleepover. (Riku, she'd just told herself.) It had been Sora's idea, but Naminé liked it well enough. She's actually not sure what a sleepover entails, but she knows lots of snacks are involved.

Which is why there's a huge variety lain out in the main room of Naminé's temple. There are tons of pillows and blankets, too, enough to make pillow forts--but someone would have to suggest the idea for Naminé to even consider it. There are movies, too, but maybe someone should bring their own, if they have any...

In any case, Naminé's excited (if somewhat nervous, funnily enough) to get the night started. ]

(( treat this like a mingle log, guys! go crazy, tbh. ))

[For a new god with a cozy beach house, Sora sure wasn’t home very often. Which was super okay with him. Talking briefly with Naminé, he was so happy that she agreed to open up her place for this.

He’d been thinking about them all being here, as all sorts of gods and shinkis and everything. Nothing really made sense to him except that he thought they should all be sticking together. It just made sense for them to do that.

Besides, Sora was still feeling guilty that he had yelled his butt off at Riku when nothing was Riku’s fault. Sora wondered if he had got the gift he had left.

Either way, it was time to see them and Sora bounds up to the temple with his pillows in his arms and a backpack full of things. Hopefully Riku Replica was close behind?

He enters, calling out.] Helllooo?

[It was okay to let himself in, right?]

[chainbroke]

[ It's absolutely okay to let himself in. Naminé looks over and gives a small wave, and... well, she's not surprised he's brought so much. He'd seemed so enthusiastic about the idea. ]

Hello, Sora. I'm glad you were able to find my temple.

[oathkeeper]

It was no problem! I really like it by the way! [He gives her a happy smile. It was really so much like Twilight Town and it was really pretty. Everything up to the paopu fruit trees. She deserved this amazing temple, every last bit of it.

He pulls his backpack off his shoulder and starts rummaging in it, pulling various snacks and trinkets from it. He knew Naminé has stoked up too but he always liked to help add to the pile. With the treats he also pulls out some movies and card games.]

I brought these, and my pillows and blankets for forts! I hope everyone makes it over. Oh and-

[He pulls out another two boxes of chocolate panda cookies and grins.] More for you and Riku! Thanks for agreeing to this.

[missingache]

[Roxas will be by later than the others. He's had an eventful day, and needed the break away from his own place.

He notes immediately that this place reminds him of Twilight Town. And that fruit... Roxas will have to ask her if those are what he thinks they are. It'd be sweet if they were.

He walks up to the door and knocks on it. Roxas has packed some things for himself to sleep on (including a very nice, thick and soft blanket), and something for Naminé. He read something in Koriko about bringing gifts to a house you're visiting for the first time.

Roxas won't have his shinki with him for various reasons, so it's just him.]

--

[Later on Roxas is just chilling in the first spot he's claimed, reading what looks like a manga. There's several of them around him, and all seem to have a common theme- they are all shoujo. Try and tease him. He see's nothing wrong with reading them.

He's also sure to grab food on occasion and will chat with anyone who approaches him.]

[ Ven moves over to Roxas and sits next to him. He looks at the pile and picks out one of the books. ]

What is this?

[missingache]

[Roxas looks up before handing one of the volumes to Ven.]

It's called manga! Shiro and I back home had a reading club... we read a lot of manga over a year.

[oathkeeper]

[It's actually Sora that answers, not the hosts (Sora might as well be labelled as a host) and when he sees Roxas he grins.]

Hey! Come in!

[He found it a little amusing that he would be having a second sleepover with Roxas so quickly. He hands Roxas a box of chocolate star cookies.]

Great you brought blankets! We're gonna make a whole bunch of forts! I think Naminé's secretly really good at making them, haha!

[missingache]

[Nope. Not surprised. Sora, let Naminé have at least one job in her own place. He'll take the cookies before shoving a light blue and gold blanket into Sora's arms.]

This one's for Naminé! So she gets to pick what to do with it. The other one's mine, and I'm sleeping on it.

[Just shutting down your idea right now. What's his is his. But don't be do rude.] .... thanks for the cookies.

[chainbroke]

[ She perks up right when she sees him. It's still incredible that they can both exist here, exist alongside Sora, like they deserve to. She's curious about whatever he's got for her. ]

Hi, Roxas. What did you bring?

[missingache]

A blanket! [A really pretty blue and gold one that's super soft.]

There's a bunch of them around my temple. Guess it's because it's kinda cold there.

[doestheickyjobs]

Hey, Roxas.

[Axel plops down next to the kid, and produces a handful of ribbons from his pocket. They're a rainbow of colors and patterns: checked, spotted, striped and some even with flowers.]

Pick your favorite.

[missingache]

[That's a lot of ribbons. Was this some kind of friendship thing? Of course Roxas smiles as he checks over the ribbons. Hmmm... he'll pick the rainbow one!]

What're these for?

[doestheickyjobs]

[Axel shows up with a couple of big reusable grocery bags full of different flavors of ice cream. Look: don't ask where he got the money to buy all this. He considers it foraging. You know, for the kind of crap that the Near Shore has in abundance. And since they can't notice anybody on the Far Shore for very long, it's real easy to get away with.

He waves cheerfully as he saunters through the door and promptly heads over to the buffet table. Maybe he could just put it out over here? No way, it'll melt.

Time to go explore! He's got to find a freezer.]

[lightbox]

[ Ven was working on getting all the snacks out; he wanted to make sure everyone was having a good time. Unfortunately, he almost ran into something tall and redhaired. ]

Oh! Sorry...Are you here for the party?

[chainbroke]

[ That's a lot of ice cream. Wow. She makes her way over, trying to peer into the bag. ]

Hello, Axel. I'll show you the freezer.

[oathkeeper]

[When Sora spots Axel he perks up and bounces over, waving.] Axel! You made it!

[...And with treats too. Sora peaks over with curiosity and makes a grabby hand at it.] Whatcha bring??

[lightbox]

[ Ven's used to sleepovers, given the times he spent with Aqua and Terra. However, having friends that he just met was a different story. Slowly, he was walking up to the temple with something in his hands; he wanted to bring some snacks for the sleep over.

Once he walked in, he called out quietly, wondering where to go next. ]

[chainbroke]

[ Naminé gives a little wave before going over to greet him. ]

Hello. It wasn't too hard to find my temple... was it?

[darkbreak]

[Honestly, Riku's not exactly as thrilled about this as some other people are. They all sounded like friends of hers, or at least people she knows, but Riku? Maybe just one or two of those names stick out, but the rest are strangers.

Strangers that he's (well, technically she's) letting into their home and shrine. Naminé's convinced him repeatedly that it's all in the name of fun and that some kid named Sora really wanted to meet him.

(Honestly, he's starting to think this Sora person is some sort of stalker. First the panda cookies, now this? Weirdo.)

But whatever. This is Naminé's shindig and not his. He'll help decorate and prepare on his own accord. But in terms of greeting people, he had to be roped into that.]

Hey. [He's not super smiley, but will nod at any of the arrivals. He's trying, okay? Trust doesn't come too naturally to him.] Make yourself at home, I guess.

-----

[Okay, so someone (not saying who but more than likely his name rhymes with Dora) seems to have gotten the brilliant idea for them to have a pillow fort contest. The temple is well prepared and there are a ton of pillows of all sizes scattered about the room.

But to be honest, Riku doesn't feel all that prepared for a big contest like this. He might be wallflowering a bit and watching the others come up with their fort ideas, but actual participation?

Someone might need to prod this dork as he leans against the wall and get him to have some fun!]

-----

[Okay, he's done his duty as a shinki and tried to be a good host. Everyone seems pretty pleased with themselves, relaxing and having fun. Even though pretty much everyone has been subdued by the movie in the foyer (some ridiculous romcom from the sounds of it), Riku just finds himself a little too exhausted from the days events.

So when he thinks he can, he'll retreat into his room. Yeah, it's a sleepover and that means communal sleeping space and he'll join up with them eventually, but for now he needs his own space.

After all, hanging out with a bunch of teenagers who all share the same faces and whom most of them are gods can be a bit taxing. If anyone wants to talk with him in private, he'll be sitting just beneath the large window in his room, reading some Japanese book by moonlight.]

wallflower!

[missingache]

[Roxas wasn't up much for the contest either. This kid wasn't a big fan of parties of any kind, not since his last world, but Naminé was important to him. Besides, his type of pillow fort included stuffed animals, and there's none here.

So he's going to lean against a wall not too close or too far from Riku. He knows you, a different you, but you're still a Riku.]

Don't know what to do?

[chainbroke]

[ Naminé's noticed Riku's entire demeanor the whole night. She's actually been pretty hyper aware of him, though, and she's worried about him. She's used to people forgetting her, and not forgetting people, so she can't exactly understand in a way that she'd like.

But once everyone's settled down and somewhat sleepy, even with the movie going, Naminé goes to his room and knocks quietly. ]

[oathkeeper]

[Speaking of stalker Sora, he's the unfortunate one to run into Riku first since Sora was the first to arrive to the party. He had wanted to help Naminé with any set up and chat with her before everyone started to come around. Sora knew he'd run into Riku eventually, so he's not super surprised but his back still stiffens when Riku says Hey.]

Hey, Riku! [He gives a friendly smile, but still scratches the back of his head in nervous habit.] Thanks, I will. You guys have a great temple!

[After having some time to calm down, Sora was significantly less angry at Riku but he still felt a sad flippy flop in his belly when he's faced with Riku again. Just...try to be his friend again, that's all you can do right now Sora.]

wallflower!

[doestheickyjobs]

[Seriously? There's pillow fort construction going on, and pillow forts are serious business.

Mostly because failure to construct a pillow fort leaves you open for pillow attacks, which is what Axel's engaging in right now by lobbing a throw pillow right at Riku's head.]

Think fast!

[falseshore]

You're not building anything.

['Sup Riku? There's what may or may not be a smaller version of you coming to bug you. He looks very similar, anyway. He's holding a pillow in one hand, not as a weapon, but as 'proof' he's actually participating in the pillow games.]

Literally late to the party hii

[falseshore]

[1 - Initially, the smaller Riku arrived with Sora and stayed for about five minutes before disappearing from the party for a little over an hour. Thus, he arrives late. Feel free to confront him about this.

---

2 - Riku isn't one for pillow forts. Or pillow...whatever they have planned involving pillows. Not with a bunch of strangers, anyway. He doesn't get the draw, so he's not participating in that.

He's more than happy to shout suggestions from the sidelines or snicker a little bit if someone's fort happens to collapse on their head.]
