[enter a fairly nondescript lemonade stand in one of the main rooms, accompanied by a certain kid and a small sign of his own creation: it reads, "LEMONADE" in bright red, lopsided letters, along with a drawing of what looks like a cup of lemonade, and a chocobo for some reason. next to the chocobo, he's written something in black marker: "No munny." Sora isn't really sure what sort of things people might offer up for payment instead of munny, but he hopes it's taffy! though he'll accept pretty much any other trinket one might have on his or her person.]

[lemonade isn't the only good Sora has on display, however! should a parched patron desire something on the frozen side, they are free to purchase a freshly made sno-cone made from a small machine sitting on the stand's counter. there are also rows of potions and elixirs, and a small tupperware box filled with an assortment of cookies. Sora's munching on one as he watches people go by- every once in a while he waves and yells:]

Hey! Lemonade!

[might want to watch out for the cookies, though. like many other foods in the dressing room, they have an unintended side effect.]

[ooc; eat a cookie; accidentally spill a secret. it could be a secret about anyone- it doesn't have to be about you specifically. as long as your character considers it a secret, it's fair game. no bbs spoilers, please ;o; ]

It's an elixir! It's okay though, you don't gotta pay for it.

[a-aw. that makes Riku smile a little, and hold out his hands toward Sora anyway.]

Why don't you take the jellybeans for everything then? They're the every-flavor kind, as far as I can tell.

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Mister Riku! I hope that helps, 'cause elixirs and potions taste really, really bad and I wouldn't drink it at all if it doesn't help.

[he takes the jellybeans and pokes through them curiously. every-flavor jellybeans, eh? watch him pick out an elixir-flavored one to sample for a dose of irony.]

[indarknesslost.livejournal.com]

That's why I wanted a cookie, too.

[he smiles a little wider when he hears Sora poking through the box.]

Be careful, I ate one that tasted like dirt earlier.

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

Ewww, gross!

[and he cracks up laughing- Sora is still at that age where he's delighted by gross-looking and tasting food. he should be safe with a blue jellybean, right? except it tastes like soap.]

[indarknesslost.livejournal.com]

[he's a little better off than Riku then, as Riku couldn't even tell which color he was eating and would often get the same thing more often than he would have liked.]

I thought you might like them.

[he'll carefully work the cork off the elixir, and try not to wince when he lifts it to his lips to drink. he really should have some sort of dual sling for them to take some of the weight off while they heal, but then he'd get even less done.]

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

Ewwwww! My mouth got washed out with soap!

[smacks his lips, pouting for a minute... then he laughs, and digs around the jellybeans again.]

You think there's a bug flavored one, Mister Riku? Or .. Or maybe one that tastes like vegetables!

[indarknesslost.livejournal.com]

Maybe. You might get lucky and find one that tastes like carrots. Or earwax.

[he sighs as the elixir works its way through him, some of his swelling going down. he'll save the potion for later, when he's changing some bandages that Sora can't see.]

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

Yeah! Maybe I should give my daddies some and see what they wind up with!

[if he doesn't wind up eating them all first, anyway. he watches Riku take the elixir, about to put a green jellybean in his mouth.]

Do you feel better now?

[indarknesslost.livejournal.com]

[enjoy that taste of grass! Riku's smile is a lot warmer as he offers Sora the empty bottle. hopefully there's a trashcan handy?]

It definitely helped. Thank you.

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

You're welcome!

[he takes the bottle back, chewing on the grass jellybean, but he can't quite place the flavor. it's not bad, he doesn't think, and it's certainly somewhat familiar.]

... I can't tell what this tastes like.

[indarknesslost.livejournal.com]

What color was it?

[he'll be going for his cookie, now.]

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

Green.. I know I've tasted this before, but I dunno what it is.

[indarknesslost.livejournal.com]

Maybe it's a bug.

[he's teasing, even if there is a caterpillar flavor.]

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

Mmm.. No, I know what bugs taste like! This is more like.. like..

[this is going to drive him bananas until he figures it out.]

[indarknesslost.livejournal.com]

Oh, really now. Just how many bugs have you eaten?

[he's smiling more around this little Sora than he as in the past week combined.]

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

A whole lot! I ate a bunch when I was really really little, so my Momma started calling me Sorabug.

[this probably isn't something Sora should be proud of, but oh well!]

[indarknesslost.livejournal.com]

[why are you so adorable.]

Well, maybe it's something else that you've eaten a lot of when you were little.

[sorabug.livejournal.com]

Maybe.. Hey, you should try it!

[fishes out another green jellybean and reaches up to place it in Riku's hand. hopefully it's not booger-flavored, or something.]
