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?]

[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.]

[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.]

[ 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. ]

[lightbox]

[ 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?

[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?

[doestheickyjobs]

No way, I'm just the delivery guy!

[Axel snorts, amused, and hefts his bags of ice cream.] Hey, Roxas, where's the freezer around here?

WRONG NAME dfsjafklj

[lightbox]

[ Ven's smile is patient as he places his head behind his head. ]

Actually, it's Ven! Roxas and I look a lot alike.

Happens to us all! /laughing

[doestheickyjobs]

You're kidding.

[Axel leans forward, staring. No, okay, the clothes are different but their faces?]

You could be twins. You mean there's two people named Roxas plus one that looks like him?

[This is officially way too confusing. Axel doesn't even know if the two Roxases look alike -- not with the way the first one he met leaves his hood up all the time -- but they're about the same size, and they have awfully similar voices, so he figures they're similar-looking under the hood too.]

Ugh, this is too weird. Wait, give me a minute.

[He'd been meaning to get Roxas his ribbon, but he'd just grabbed a handful of colored hair ribbons to hand out anyway, which means, Ven, you get...

Hmm.

You get the white one with the pattern of cherries on it. He holds it out.]

[lightbox]

[ Ven looks at the ribbon. Didn't Sora mention something about ID bracelets?

He smiled and took it. ]

Thank you, this will help, I'm sure. I will make sure they know mine has the cherries.

[doestheickyjobs]

Great. That guy in the coat who goes by Roxas gets this one.

[He sorts out a cute blue and white plaid ribbon. As for the second Roxas, the one who gets really upset about not being the original? Eh, Axel will let him pick. He didn't ask yet.]

So, if you're trying to figure it out too, there you go!

Hey, where is the freezer, anyway?

[lightbox]

I'm not sure, but I believe it may be down this way, I'll take you. If we get lost, then...two heads are better then one!

[ Ven is tying the ribbon so anyone can see it. ]

Thank you for the ribbon, Sora said he wanted to do ID bracelets.

[doestheickyjobs]

Whatever works, right? Lead the way.

[Axel falls in behind him, stuffing the handful of ribbons back into his pocket so he can carry the ice cream more comfortably.]

So, Ven. God or shinki?

[lightbox]

God. [ Ven moves to the right. ]

You?

[doestheickyjobs]

Shinki. I'm with Pippa -- you know, Aphrodite? If you've met her.

[Axel tags along at Ven's heels, and glances down at his bags. He still hasn't managed to track down sea salt flavor anywhere. Maybe it's tougher to find than he thought.]

So, what's your favorite ice cream flavor? I brought a bunch. Couldn't find Roxas's, though.

[lightbox]

[ Ven thought about it for a little bit, smiling for a moment. ]

I guess I don't mind eating any of them, but I think the ones with marshmallows are good. Or caramel...

[doestheickyjobs]

Oh, you go for sweet, huh? I've got a few of those! Lots of candy mixed in.

[It had seemed like Sora's kind of thing, for one.]

So far I like the kinds with a little sour in them myself. Like fruit flavors.

[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.

[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.]

[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.

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

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

[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.

[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?
