these long summer days
Characters: Any of the characters participating in the party.
Date: Backdated to July 15th.
Summary: To apologize for the incident with the phantoms, the Queen puts together a party for all the inhabitants of the Gardens.
Warnings: IT IS A PARTY what could go wrong. (But just in case, if something occurs in your thread, please let the mods know and we will update this.)
For some days now, denizens of the Gardens may have been wondering what it is the Queen had in store for them after the phantoms had finally dispersed. Perhaps they may have been aware of the sound of hammering and construction that seemed to float on the air from no specific direction. Today, however, the sounds seem to have mysteriously ceased, and at some point, each of the girls and women will receive an invitation, written on pale yellow paper in deep pink ink that seems to shimmer slightly with certain angles of light:
Asking the cats for directions, or simply heading toward the northwest of the Gardens by oneself, will eventually lead one to the aforementioned Crimson Pavilion — an enormous outdoor party tent, similar to the Viridian Pavilion in scope and size. The Pavilion is strewn with drapes of crimson gauze that shade its interior slightly from the sun, and delicate flower-shaped lights wind around each of the tent poles, producing a faint, sparkling luminance. Colorful flowers are strewn across every available surface, and a sourceless music floats on the air, an upbeat melody seemingly designed to compel one to dance. And all over the tables are food and drinks in every variety one could possibly imagine, though the overarching flavors and themes seem to remind one of summer days and tropical islands.
The drinks, especially, are very good — though perhaps one should be a little careful. There is, as they say, too much of a good thing.
[ Notes: The drinks, as one might expect, have a few side effects:
⇒ Pineapple juice compels characters who drink it to feel as if they cannot help but be honest about their feelings toward other characters. If your character has a crush on another character, or has fallen in love with her, she may not be able to resist the desire to confess her attraction.
⇒ Orange juice creates feelings of happiness and contentment. This can range from an unnaturally strong sense of giddy joy to a more calm, relaxed state of well-being. And, of course, your character may be compelled to share her feelings with others.
⇒ Fruit punch induces a desire for intimacy, whether that be holding hands or cuddling to making out and more adult activities for adult characters.
Of course, there might be other drinks with other effects, as well, and the drinks may be mixed to create multiple effects. There are also drinks that are just drinks without any special properties.
Have fun! ]

Sora! Are you okay? [usually the girl would be in the midst of things, talking to everyone.]
no subject
I'm fine. And you... You... ...You really look nice, Xion.
no subject
[the compliment is so sincere, she can't help feeling a little self-conscious herself. She looks down for a moment, her face flushing a little as well.]
Th--...thanks. You look, um... [what was it that everyone called her?] cute, too.
no subject
[Sora can't help but go a tiny bit more red at that. And why's her heart beating faster...? Oh, right... Xion complimented her. Maybe that's why.]
W-Would you like something to eat? Or drink?
no subject
Um, sure! There's just so much, I don't really know where to start.
no subject
[Easy to accidentally flash someone, or the skirt can trip you up if it's long enough.]
Maybe try something sweet. Like you.
[...Wait. Wait. did she just say that!? Going red now.]
no subject
[sweet? Like her? She blinks, not entirely understanding the phrase, and takes in Sora's reaction curiously.]
Are...you okay? Are you embarrassed?
no subject
[...Man, she's tripping over herself. She'll just... Find some food. Hey, what about some watermelon? That's a sweet summer food!]
Here! It's not, like, cake or anything, but... It's something we ate all the time on the islands.
no subject
[she accepts the slice of watermelon, taking a moment to figure out how to eat it. She recognizes it vaguely from those faint after-images of memories she has.]
Watermelon, right...? [she has to hold it out away from her so it doesn't drip on her dress, and leans over to take a bite. It's sweet, and she looks pleasantly surprised.]
It's good!
no subject
[Sora munches on her own slice, being careful so she doesn't stain her dress.]
I'm glad you like it.
no subject
That reminds me...some time, I'd like to eat it together with you.
no subject
[Sora can't help the big grin on her face.]
no subject
Even if there's no ice cream here, there still looks like a lot of good stuff. Mm, let's see...
[she serves herself some fruit salad, since it looks familiar, and a small slice of chocolate cake.]
What're you drinking, Sora?
no subject
[Sora'll home in on the cake, too, fetching herself a slice so that she can have some, too.]
no subject
When you go home--
[oh. Why did she say that? It's too awkward a subject to be resolved at the moment...she looks down and takes a sip of her drink, instead, trying to recover.]
When you...go home...I want you to be happy.
[that's not what she meant to say at all.]
I wish I could go with you.
[neither is that. Xion stops, looking bewildered.]
no subject
...Thanks. I wish I could take you with me. Because...
[She puts down her drink and her food, wrapping her arms around Xion.]
...I really care about you. And it hurts thinking of not bring able to see you.
no subject
I'm sorry--I didn't mean to--you were having fun and now I've ruined it. [she bites her lip, not sure why she can't seem to stop blurting out what she's feeling.]
Sometimes I just want you to stay here forever! But that isn't right, you have to go back and fix everything, and I don't have a place there. You'll forget me. Everyone will. And I'll be all alone and--no!
[she shakes her head, trembling a little.]
Someone like me...who was just made to be a puppet, a tool...it should be enough that I can feel things, I shouldn't want those feelings returned. I shouldn't want more than that...but I do.
no subject
[She holds Xion tighter, closer, refusing to let her go.]
I don't care why you were born. You're here. And that's all that matters. Because I care a lot for you, and even if I can't stay forever, while I'm here, I want to be able to treasure my time with you.
[She'll press her forehead against Xion's, smiling while hands rest on shoulders.]
...Let's treasure our time together, even if it won't last. And I promise, I'll find a way so you won't be lonely.
no subject
Treasure our...time...it's like what Zenobia said...
[she swallows, hard.]
It's just not fair, because I...you're so kind and I'm just selfish...but I've never met anyone like you before, and...
[she blinks at the proximity of their faces--their noses are almost touching.]
I'm glad...you the one I'm a part of. [she fumbles a little to put her drink down nearby, so she can reach up and cover Sora's hands with both of hers.]
I want to be able to stay with you forever...wherever you are.
no subject
[She's smiling, warm and welcoming, and she's not letting go.]
I really care about you, Xion. A lot. More than anything else I know. I want you to be happy.
no subject
I...but...
[she wants to be happy. But her doubts always cripple her.]
Sora...I'm not her. The person in your heart...I just...look like her. [her smile is small and trembling.] That's all right, though...hearing that...is enough for me.
no subject
[Sora blinks a few times, utterly confused.]
...You look like you, Xion. So, yeah, I... You look like the person in my heart.
no subject
No, I--...I look like Kairi...because your memory of her was the strongest...
no subject
[Whatever gave Xion the idea that she had these feelings for Kairi?]
no subject
I...is it because you're a girl? I mean--...that maybe the you I'm from had different memories...I just thought...
