THE BALL

[mouselikeyoda.livejournal.com]

[Today is the day of the ball, and as such the entry to the Grand Ball Room is wide open, a sound of music echoing through the halls. Not too far away are signs pointing to the general area, intended to help those who are new as well as remind those who are interested.

The room itself seems incredibly clean, thanks to a few enchanted brooms, some of which are still there to clean up any messes from the food. Speaking of food, there is a large table with many delicious meals to choose from, from classy foods to simpler snacks such as chips and even a bit of treats for the children and others who enjoy sweets. And of course, beverages are present, such as punch, water, soft drinks, and even a bit of wine for the adults. Off to the side is an ice box, which may in fact contain sea salt ice cream.

Similar to the last ball, there is a comfortable area set off to the side for those who would rather relax, maybe take a break from dancing. It consists of comfortable chairs and couches for the guests, and even smaller tables for beverages.

Of course, the main attraction is the dance floor itself, which is dimly lit by a chandelier and the occasional candles here and there. The aforementioned music at the moment is classical, a sort of waltz and seems to be coming from no apparent source-- but one may notice somewhere in the ball room that Mickey himself is present, dressed not only in proper masquerade attire, but also with a familiar hat.

Anyone is welcome to enjoy the ball. However, if trouble should arise Mickey does have a Keyblade and would be more than willing to intervene; this is meant for enjoyment, not violence.]

*normally, she would protest not doing things for herself, but she climbs out, hauling the dress out as well and draping it over the back of a chair*

Don't forget about yourself... ! Don't catch a cold, Sora...

[not to worry, Sora may be grabbing towels and blankets to keep Kairi warm, but he comes back with a towel over his shoulders. once he's walked back, he carefully wraps a towel around her. he seems to enjoy being chivalrous.]

[oath-kept.livejournal.com]

*she thinks that's pretty sweet, and wraps the towel snugly around her body; she's gonna ruffle Sora's hair with the towel and giggle at it*

... you look like a freshly fluffed... corgi puppy or something.

[bourgeons.livejournal.com]

A punk one though, right?

[actually, his hair does sort of look punk, spiked high and off to one side.]

[oath-kept.livejournal.com]

*giggles, and scritches her fingers through your unruly, wet locks*

Yup. It's kinda hot!

[bourgeons.livejournal.com]

[laughs as well.]

I'll have to try to remember this hairstyle, then.

[that's really a long shot though, Sora's honestly lucky if his hair retains mostly the same shape from one day to the next. he offers his arm out to her.]

[oath-kept.livejournal.com]

*laughs and takes his arm, heading back out into the hallway*

Sora hair looks cute no matter what, though. No worries.

[bourgeons.livejournal.com]

[makes a feeble attempt to straighten it up a bit.]

You haven't seen my bedhead, though. It's pretty awful.

[oath-kept.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well maybe I'll have to sneak and take a picture!

*laughs*

[bourgeons.livejournal.com]

Aw, Kairi!

[grins and pokes her lightly, teasing.]

[oath-kept.livejournal.com]

Oof! Hey, watch my pudge!

*smiles and pokes back*

Besides, it'd be a cute picture. Maybe you'll just have to take one so I can see. Or we could have a slumber party.

[bourgeons.livejournal.com]

Pfff, what pudge?

[scooches away from that poke! he's not very successful, though.]

I think I could do a slumber party. We could watch lame movies, or something.

[oath-kept.livejournal.com]

*oooh, good one Sora! she's trying harder to poke now*

... would that be okay? It sounds like fun.

*is used to her Father being very strict about boys, so she might need to be reminded that she isn't home*

[bourgeons.livejournal.com]

[barely avoids that poke! he flashes her a smile.]

I'd love to. I'll just grab a change of clothes.

[oath-kept.livejournal.com]

*her heart skips a beat, because she didn't mean tonight, but that works as well! she flashes a shy smile back and nods*

Well... how about I go ahead and change, and you come over when you're ready? My room's 77. It's on the hall with Kai and Riku and Ri and Sora.

[bourgeons.livejournal.com]

[almost looks surprised at that, but he nods!]

That's fine. I'll see you soon, then?

[oath-kept.livejournal.com]

See you in a minute!

*and turns down the hallway headed to her room; once there, she slips into a fitted t-shirt and a pair of sleep shorts*

[bourgeons.livejournal.com]

[give him about 20 minutes before he arrives at her door, dressed in much of the same, with the exception of wearing pajama pants rather than shorts. he also brought popcorn!]

[oath-kept.livejournal.com]

*she's just in her room tidying up all the clothes scattered around and making up her bed and drying her hair -- her room is a bit chilly!*

[bourgeons.livejournal.com]

[Sora is very polite, and knocks lightly on the door -- he's a little nervous, and it probably shows in the way he grips the popcorn bowl. he's never had a sleepover with a girl before, much less a girlfriend.]

[oath-kept.livejournal.com]

*well Kairi is very laid-back and chill, so she will try not to be awkward. she opens her door and peeks out, before letting him in with a smile*

Hi. Ooh, popcorn.

*her room is still a little plain, but has dark purple walls, and is moderately lit -- she's decorated with a couple of stuffed bears and stuffed chocobos, and there seems to be clothes everywhere -- a dressing room is a fashionista's dream come true*

[bourgeons.livejournal.com]

[it's occurred to Sora by now that he remembers this room very clearly! but he smiles at her warmly, and moves to carefully set the popcorn on the dresser so it doesn't spill.]

It's cozy in here.

[oath-kept.livejournal.com]

*laughs a bit*

Well, only if you mean messy. I still have some re-decorating to do. Make yourself at home, 'kay?

*blushes a little...*

I uh... was looking for movies to watch, but all I have are cartoons and kung-fu flicks.

*... Kairi's a kung-fu film afficinado*

[bourgeons.livejournal.com]

I could go for a kung-fu marathon!

I just blew up my microwave ;~;

[oath-kept.livejournal.com]

*brightens, glad you don't think she's a total dork*

Sounds good!

*and she goes to peruse her small collection, popping one in her player and crawling onto the bed to get cozy*
