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. ))

That place with the witch?

Sorry to hear about it.

[Axel glanced away. That sounded like a bad world to get stuck in. This one? Well, it wasn't so bad. Crap missions sometimes, sure, but mostly they got to pick their own jobs. He could do with more memories, but on the plus side, he wasn't dead and gone. Just dead he could deal with.]

Fine, you think I should hang out with him, I'll give it a shot.

[oathkeeper]

The...witch? What?

[...OH.]

No, before that... But besides the point! Thank you Axel! That means a lot to me! I seriously owe you one! If you ever need my help let me know, okay?

[Sora is grinning from ear to ear. He was really happy that Axel agreed to do it. Hopefully this would cheer Roxas up too. And he just knew they would get along again, anyway.]

[doestheickyjobs]

Uh, sure. Will do. Why's this so important to you, anyway? Does he have a problem making new friends or something?

[It's sweet that Sora's trying to set his pal up with new people to hang out with, but isn't it a little weird that it means that much to him?]

[oathkeeper]

[Sora looks away and scratches his cheek in nervous habit. Crap, he was hoping that wouldn’t come up that Axel would just agree and everything would be cool beans.]

You’re just a really cool dude and I think he could learn something from you! That’s all! Hah!

[URGH if Roxas heard him right now he’d get beat up for sure. But come on, Sora couldn’t just be like you guys are actually best friends forever but you can’t remember that because you died so yeah.]

[doestheickyjobs]

Thanks, I guess.

[He shrugs. It's weird, but Sora seems to be a little weird. At least he's friendly weird, and Axel can live with that.]

So is that what I got invited here for? I mean, Namine's nice and all but I only talked to her the one time.

[oathkeeper]

[Sora laughs.]

She's really sweet, I bet she just wanted to get to know you more too.

[This -not talking to Axel like he knows everyone thing- was still really hard for Sora to deal with. He didn't like faking or making stuff up or outright lying. But that numb feeling at the back of his head was always there when talking to shinki that he knew.]

Don't worry too much about it, we're all cool people!

[doestheickyjobs]

Yeah, sure, you guys seem nice enough!

[Axel shrugs again, and flops back onto the pillow, crossing his arms behind his head. They're all kind of young, but he figures, when he's dead anyway, age probably doesn't matter that much. They can still be friends.]

Anyway, I'm not turning down friends. You know... there was something I was thinking about the other day. As long as people remember you, it's like -- like living forever.

[He sounds thoughtful, and oddly distant. It's one of those things, like knowing about different worlds or about the Heartless, that he feels like he just knows. Like it's got to be true.]

So I guess if I'm dead, the more friends I have, the better.

[oathkeeper]

I guess that's true isn't it?

[Sora stretches his arms over his head. It was a bit interesting hearing Axel say that, because he did have people here who remembered who he was, and Sora wasn't about to ever forget that.]

As long as you have good friends, you'll always be in their hearts.

[Kind of like prayers too, Sora supposed.]

[doestheickyjobs]

... Yeah.

[Axel frees one hand from pillowing his head, and rubs a knuckle across his chest, as if it aches. It doesn't, really. There's just... something uncomfortable about that thought. Always in their hearts.

What about his heart? What did it do, forgetting?]

I guess I probably had good friends before, too. Except. You know.

[It's not like he could help forgetting. He doesn't really feel guilty about it. But it's uncomfortable to dwell on anyway.]

[oathkeeper]

[Sora looks at Axel with a small gentle smile.]

I bet you had really amazing friends that cared about you a lot.

[He corrects himself quickly.]

Still care about you a lot.

[doestheickyjobs]

Noooot really helping, there, Sora. I don't remember who they were.

[He sighs, and tucks his hand back under his head.]

So what do you think, do people still stay in your heart even if they're out of your head?

[oathkeeper]

[Sora kicks one foot out and nudges Axel with it.] It doesn't matter if you don't remember them you blockhead, I just said you'll always be in their hearts.

And it goes the same way too. They're right in your heart. Always. I'm sure of it.

[doestheickyjobs]

Hmm.

[Axel still doesn't sound convinced. Sure, he wants to be convinced. But something about that whole line just sounds way too nice and happy to be true.

At least he can still remember everybody he's met here.

That's close enough.]

It's a nice thought.
