[despite all the chaos and destruction going on, there is in fact a safe haven. it comes in the form of a warded portion of hallway, absolutely reeking of Light. even so, those with Darkness who hold no ill will toward the inhabitants of the Dressing Room as a whole will find themselves mysteriously able to enter the warding, without the slightest bit of damage to them. the few rooms within the Light-based wards are more or less whole; a kitchen, a bathroom, and a rather large sitting room, all in working condition. in the middle of the hallway in plain sight is the eldest version of Kai, seated in a cross-legged position and looking peaceful, as though meditating. anyone with ill intent will find themselves being pleasantly (or not so much) roasted by the wards.]

(ooc: Basically just the obligatory safe haven. You don't have to talk to Kai, it's just sort of there so if anyone feels like RPing while being aware of the event, but can't/won't fight, they've got something to do aside from running around trying to avoid Heartless.)

It's alright...

[his voice is quiet, soothing. he can take his concentration from the wards for a short time. she's getting a hug.]

No! I don't know where Chichi and Riku are!

[ sobbing. ]

I'm sure they'll be fine, Sora.

[At least he knows who she's been staying with. He recognizes "Chichi".]

They might be hurt! Or attacked! I need to go find them!

[ brb starting to scramble + crying still. ]

Sora, it's too dangerous to go back out there, especially alone! I would go find them for you, but I need to stay here to make sure none of the Heartless can get inside.

But I have to protect my friends! I promised..

[ stops scrambling, just kind of lays there and cries now. ]

You won't be able to protect them if something happens to you. I know it's hard, but the best way to help them is to stay here for now, where you're safe. If you got lost out there, that would be one more child for Chichi to worry about, right?

But.. I have to do something..

[ not sobbing anymore, just. shedding tears. KAI HAS A SOOTHING VOICE AND CHEST HAIR. /what ]

The only thing I can think of is helping me make some hot chocolate to put away for whenever they show up.

[ Sora is silent for a bit, but then she slowly nods. ]

Okay..

Let's do that, then.

[he'll offer her a smile, then stand up with her in his arms. c: he has much practice lifting chilluns.]

[ omg yay cling to holy crap you are tall, Mister. ]

Can we put lots of marshmellows in them?

[ starry eyes. ]

You can put lots of marshmallows in your own, but they won't be quite as nice if we put them in now and then leave them like that while we wait for others.

But.. doesn't everyone like marshmellows?

Most people do, but there's not much point if they get all melted from being in there too long without anyone drinking it, hm?

Yeah...

[ pauses for about two seconds. ]

Can we set out cake, too?

I've already got some food set out. There's sandwiches, fruits and vegetables, and yes, a cake.

What kind of cake?

[ SUDDENLY, EVERYTHING IS OKAY. ]

Strawberry shortcake.

[he didn't make it, but he did several tests (none of which actually involved eating) to make sure it was safe.]

[ BOUNCES WHILE BEING HELD. ]

Cakecakecakecakecakecakecake!

[ giggles. ]

I take it you want a slice? Just a small one though. It'll need to last.

Yes, please!

[ bounce bounce bounce. ]

I want a slice of the middle!

Why the middle?

[to the kitchen! and the cake!]

Because that's the most special part of the cake! The Riku that's waiting for me in my world told me that she always got the sides and I could always have the middle!

[ bounce. ]

Did she get all the sides?

[amused.]
