vatheon | Birthday Party!

Who: Everyone!
When: Tuesday, starts out in the evening and lasts until late at night.
Where: The Island, at the beach.
Style: Whichever!
Status: OPEN

[Tidus had planned on throwing Roxas' party on his actual birthday. Then, stuff happened. Then other stuff. Now, finally, Roxas' very late "surprise" birthday party is being thrown. Telling Roxas that he just wants to hang out on the Island, everyone else is informed of the party before they get there.

As characters approach, there's a banner hanging that says: HAPPY 16th BIRTHDAY ROXAS. Glowsticks decorate the area where the party is taking place. There's enough for anyone to take some and use them if they want! Some catchy, danceable music plays in the background, and to the side is the table with (alcohol free for the time being) refreshments and snacks, Roxas' sea-salt ice cream cake still in a cooler until later. On the opposite side, is a table for birthday presents, which will can be opened anytime Roxas wants. Since the weather is decent, a projector has been set up on the beach to play an action adventure, fishpun-free movie later.

Games will go on during the party too, including sardines (which will take place more inland), pictionary and anything else anyone might think of. In case anyone wanted to play sports, there are also a few balls lying around, along with the closest thing Tidus could find to struggling bats.

So have fun and wish Roxas a belated happy birthday!]

["Overshadowed." If only she knew.]

I think it can be. There's a lot of stuff I get to do here that I couldn't back home.

Oh? Like what?

[She would too...except that she can't really do what she wants with her guard around]

Like... everything.

I can- talk to whover I want, and live with my best friend, and- be on the beach...

...Goodness, was your life back home that bad?

How can your parents do something like that?

Parents?

[He's completely thrown for a second. What do parents have to do with-- Oh. Right.]

Sora's parents don't know me. It's not their fault.

But...that's really cruel that you had to live like that.

There was no one helping you at all? [Well, doesn't Shirley feel spoiled now?]

[Yeah, he still looks kind of baffled by her reaction.]

I had Axel.

Oh...um... [Whoops]

...Sorry.

What're you sorry about?

That I assumed no one was there in your life but...that isn't the case.

I'm just glad to see that Axel was there to help you out!

Yeah, me, too.

It wasn't that bad with the Organization, though.

Oh, you worked for an Organization. I see!

[That doesn't explain why he doesn't celebrate his birthday but okay]

It sounds like it must be a lot of fun working in a place like that!

[...what does she think the Organization did?]

Um... Sometimes, I guess.

[Wouldn't you like to know?]

Sometimes?

We got to go to a lot of different worlds, but- there was a lot of fighting, too.

...

The Heartless...right?

...how did you know...?

I had a chance to talk to Sora a while ago and we were talking about our worlds. I hope that I wasn't intruding.

[Although she can see why people might be more drawn to him though]

Oh...

No, I was just- surprised.

You were?

You know, it sounds like these heartless are something that is similar to what I experienced back home. But their eyes were red and they took on the figure of a person instead.

The figure of a person?

Yes, it takes on the form of the person's negative emotions.

Um, does that make sense?

[Now this is sounding more like Unversed.]

I'm not sure.

I mean- do they look like people still?

Um...yes, they look exactly like the person but they're still a shadowy figure.

The problem is that they're rather difficult to beat since it also means you have to accept some parts of yourself that you might not like.

...I don't think that's much like Heartless.
