[In this Larxene's experience, an empty room being set up for a party is usually bad news. Too bad it was a main room on her usual route to the library. All the exits are blocked by an invisible barrier when she tries to leave, and Akane has no protection against the dark corridors; it looks like she's going to have to stay and socialize.

The decoration is all in pastels, with designs of teddy bears and rattles suggesting a baby shower. Of course, it wouldn't be a party without the free food: punch, cake and appetizers, plus finger foods for the little kids and for some reason a jar of pickles, all laid out nicely on a folding table by one wall. A pile of gifts wrapped in shiny paper sits in a corner.

The couch and chairs here are particularly comfortable, at least, so Larx resigns herself to sitting down with a drink while Akane plays with the balloons.]

((ooc: we had a future!kid party already, so here's one for the parents~ there's a present for each mom/mom-to-be, you decide what's in it. dads are welcome too of course. Mingle!))

[Pinged by mommy-stuff, this six-months-pregnant Aqua slowly walks into the room and looks around a bit before spotting Larxene and Akane.]

Hi there.

[She smiles and waves at Akane a bit before going to look at the food table.]

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

This for you?

[only other pregnant woman she can think of that's anywhere near close is Sora.]

[rainstormxblue.livejournal.com]

I...don't think so...

[She's as bewildered by all this as you are Larxene, so she's kinda staying away from the food for now, just in case the place spiked it with something.]

it's safe

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

[... oh right, she should have thought of that. Too late now.]

Huh.

[Akane's attention is effectively diverted from the balloons by this big new person. Smiling widely, she points up at Aqua's hair. "Is bwoo!"]

[rainstormxblue.livejournal.com]

Maybe it's for Yuna? Since she's due...I think she said she's due next month...if she shows up I think I'll ask...

[She smiles at Akane when the little girl speaks.]

Yes it's blue.

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

Don't know her.

[sips, and tries not to think about the ways her punch could be spelled]

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

*and here's a Mama that is now stuck as well, looking around*

... someone's having a party?

/goes to work out or something

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

Guess so. It won't let me out, so maybe the room just wants a mom get-together or something.

[Akane is headed your way!]

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

*yaaaay Akane -- he bends to kiss her head in greeting*

... guess I won't complain about food I didn't have to make. But... is it safe?

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

It'd better be.

[indicates the half-finished cup of punch she'd started drinking before realizing it could be enchanted]

[rainstormxblue.livejournal.com]

Well, if she shows up, you will.

[She smiles and ruffles Akane's hair before getting a small plate of celery sticks and a cup of punch before sitting down.]

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

[Akane follows, interested in new people as usual.]

Don't know you either.

Ignore that last one totally forgot I wasn't logged into the right journal XD

[rainstormxblue.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm Aqua, nice to meet you.

[She smiles and noms on her celery and if Akane wants to climb up on the couch next to her, she has no complaints.]

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

Larxene.

[Akane will indeed climb up, after a bit of effort, and make a grab for her celery.]

[rainstormxblue.livejournal.com]

Is it okay if I give her a piece?

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

Go ahead. If it weren't safe I'd have noticed something by now.

[rainstormxblue.livejournal.com]

[Aqua nods and hands Akane a piece of celery then ruffles her hair.]

There you go.

She's so adorable, how old is she?

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

About... twenty months?

[A box abruptly rolls off the pile, though it seemed to be balanced just fine a moment ago. The paper is printed with the same heart design from Aqua's badge.]

[rainstormxblue.livejournal.com]

[Oh that was weird.]

Could you hand me that please, Larxene?

[She points at the package that fell off the pile.]

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

[Normally she'd say "get it yourself" but she remembers all too well what it was like being that pregnant. More importantly, Akane seems pretty comfortable where she is and bothering her's probably more trouble than it's worth.

Another box catches Larxene's eye as she picks up Aqua's, wrapped in shiny paper with a tag reading "To Larxene and Akane." She comes back to get it after handing Aqua her package.]

[rainstormxblue.livejournal.com]

[Aqua takes it and looks it over before carefully peeling the paper off and setting it beside her to fold once the box is open. After a few minutes of working on opening the box, she finds two different bath sets, one with baby shampoo and very mild soap, which is obviously for the baby, and a fancier one which is for her.]

Oh wow....

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

[Larx just tears the paper off of hers, and holds the box a little away from her as she opens it as though she's afraid it'll explode in her face. Around here, you never know.

On top is a little orange stuffed rabbit. (http://l-userpic.livejournal.com/92531369/15326772)]

How convenient.

[Akane's old bunny was ruined in the flood. The other item in the box is wrapped in paper; it's a shiny ring (http://kingdomhearts.wikia.com/wiki/Sighing_of_the_Moon) with a design similar to the end of Saïx's Lunatic picked out in blue stone. A note falls out of the wrapping, reading simply "moon resistance."]

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

... yeah.

Well, you haven't grown extra boobs or turned into an orca or anything, so I guess it's okay. >__>

*he'll cautiously nibble the kids foods*

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

I usually get hit with less obvious things.

[oh well, as long as it's not some kind of fertility spell she can live with it]

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

*ew yeah, Duggar!xene anyone?*

I usually get stuck in some ridiculous costume. What are those presents for?

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

[So much do not want it's hilarious not even funny.]

Beats me. There might be one for you.

[eyes the ring that was in hers, not sure if she wants to put it on or not. Akane approves of her plushie-Apricot, at least.]

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

*... is it kind of sad that Sora would totally die for that plushie-Apricot I mean.*

Hmmm.

*he goes to look at the pile_

Did you get one?

wat is continuity

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

Yeah. This one Aqua that was here did too.

idk

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

Aww, I wonder if there's anything for Kira or Rikka, either?

*he pokes through the pile of gifts and... comes across one with his and the twinnus names on it*

...huh.

*he tears the paper to open it, and finds a bunch of pampering goodies (http://www.earthmamaangelbaby.com/pregnancy/pregnancy-pampering-kit.html)! he won't make Larx barf by fantasizing about suggesting Ri rub him down with lotion, be grateful*

Nice!

*there's also an adorable squishy plushie brontosaurus for the twins*

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

[then she won't tell you about how Romeo would give the best massages when he wasn't being an idiot]

I got a ring.

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

Oh?

*he takes a break from poking through the set to look your way*

What's it do? Good stats?

[rainstormxblue.livejournal.com]

Oh that's cute.

[She smiles at the bunny then tilts her head at the ring.]

That's pretty.

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

Stats?

[she doesn't speak video game, Sora, but she'll show you the ring and the note]

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

Why would they give me a ring?

[good thing it's nothing to do with Mint or you'd see her flail]

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

*b-but his accessories all have good stats, he just figured that everyone else's did too! he looks it over and nods*

I don't know many Saix's.

[rainstormxblue.livejournal.com]

[Aqua shrugs.]

I don't know...

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

I know one.

[the look on her face should say everything.]

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

"Moon resistance," that doesn't even make sense.

[gets up to give Akane her new bunny. What is it with this kid and cuddling up to giant bellies? Is she trying to give someone a hint?]

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

*he notices that, and speaks softly*

Doesn't sound like a happy story.

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

I got this- [taps her chest] - after he ate me alive. Literally.

[rainstormxblue.livejournal.com]

[Aqua smiles and puts an arm loosely around Akane as she cuddles. Then she looks back at Larxene.]

Maybe try and do some research on it later?

[Later meaning when we're all allowed out of here.]

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

Yeah.

[sticks it in her pocket for now and sips her punch]

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

*he seems a little shocked -- but only a little*

Why would he even do that?!

/speedytag and then sleep

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

He's messed up. Not a normal Nobody anymore-- some kind of demon, and he's totally insane.

[and, well, she did provoke him. Sure, he seemed completely unresponsive but...]

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

... have I even met him before?

*like she would know -- he's just thinking about it and trying to remember*

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

[laughs, shortly and harshly]

You'd know, trust me.

[mamaxsky.livejournal.com]

.. in that case, I'd rather not.

[lightning-larx.livejournal.com]

Smart choice.

[sticks the ring in her pocket for now. If Sora's sitting somewhere that that would be possible, Akane will climb up to join him; she drops her bunny in the process but that doesn't bother her right now.]
