Anyone up for eggnog? (Backdated to the 25th)

[quakega]

Who: The KH contigent of Strings and anyone they invite (closed)
Where: Pisces 7-08; Aqua's Apartment
Summary: It's Christmas; time to throw a party, remember one's loved ones, and
Warnings: Keyderps being derps?


As much as he actually found himself enjoying his job in the Aries district, Terra was rather glad that he had been given Christmas off. But as much as he actually enjoyed the holiday, he wasn't in the Christmas spirit.

It would be the first Christmas that Terra had spent off the Land of Departure in memory without Master Eraqus. Likewise, it was also the first Christmas in four years without Ven to help celebrate. It left the Keybearer in something of an underwhelmed mood.

But ... he wasn't the only one that wouldn't have loved ones present. Xion had lost both Roxas and Lea in a very short amount of time, the two having disappeared not too long ago. It understandably left Xion in need of cheering up. But what could...?

Well. That's an idea. A pretty good one, too.

Half an hour later, and Terra is knocking on Aqua's door in the Pisces apartment complex, a few bags on the floor. What exactly is he up to, here?



The decorations were in place, the food laid out on a table, and the last-second invitations had been sent out. With any luck, this gathering would help raise a few spirits this Christmas.

Now to hope it doesn't backfire horribly.

[True, true. A sound of agreement (that is maybe slightly mixed up with a frustrated huff) escapes him as he fumbles round to keep holding onto his bag while discarding his coat... that may take him a minute maybe?

He's joining Aqua soon enough though, eyes drifting over the Christmas decorations, slightly distracting him when he finally answers properly.]

Sure.

[Wow. This place really looks nice.]

[destinedwaters]

[What can they say? When they wanted to, she and Terra could decorate like pros. True, they'd been used to decorating and using magic to reach the higher places in their castle, but this place was small enough that they didn't need to strain themselves as much.

Aqua nodded faintly, getting a clean and festive plate for Riku to place the treats on.]

Here.

[Make yourself at home, Riku. :3]

[dreamprotector]

[Maybe they should open a decoration office. Or interior design bureau.

Riku gives her a soft "Thanks." before he focuses on spreading about half the sweets he's brought over the plate (and so maybe he is spending a moment or two more on arranging them nicely).

He is really looking forward to spending a nice afternoon here with friends and sort of not!family(?). He might be a skeptical when it comes to the topic of Santa, but he rather likes Christmas itself.]

[destinedwaters]

[Now there's an idea, except Terra would probably nope on out of there faster than you can say "Ven, there's ice cream in the freezer."

...Also don't tell her or Terra that, Riku; there will be wooooords.]

[dreamprotector]

[That quickly? Why that; it's not that bad an idea.

Hey, he's totally entitled to his opinion. :/

There is a reason he's a Santa-skeptic and no amount of words is going to change that.]

[destinedwaters]

[Because he'd get all the heavy labor while she organized, as usual.

But Santa is real! They've both met him in Christmastown or were on the naughty list one year for staying up and seeing him, ok. :\

do we need to share stories...]

[dreamprotector]

[Well, that's probably his own fault for sleeping during labour division. I mean-

Well, no matter what story you throw at him, he will always take them with some grain of salt - he'll stay skeptic until he's met the man himself. And even then he won't apologize. Because reasons. :|]

[destinedwaters]

[This is very true.

...and she'd like to hear those reasons, someday. :c]

[dreamprotector]

[...One day he might tell her. If it ever comes up.]
