[OOC: Thread with Setsuna will likely remain closed. If you have a good reason, feel free to stop by the apartment if you know where it is, but not everyone knows what happened to Tieria last night unless Rei's gone about blabbing things to everyone. Haha!]

[After speaking with Regene, Tieria was left exhausted from the use of his quantum brainwaves. Setsuna still hadn't returned to the apartment, and Tieria was starting to get worried. He frowned. His ankle was throbbing today from the exertions right after being injured. He really didn't want to have to go out looking for him...]

[Yes, it's evening, but Naoya's still out and about. He wants to - no, he needs to check on something.]

[Which is why he's now crouching at a corner of Mami's farm, where he planted some seeds yesterday. He doesn't dare hope, but it's a different world, so maybe...]

[... There's nothing so far. He knows he should wait, but he digs up a seed, and it sits there in his hand, looking no different from when he first stuck it in the ground.]

[He starts laughing, tearing his communicator off, tossing it on the ground, where it bumps the video feed button.]

[It turns on, clearly broadcasting Naoya sitting on the ground, cupping soil in his hands, laughing sadly.]

[Fortunately, his back is turned, so no one can see his face, because his face is incredibly pained... and sad.]

[Evening is quickly approaching in Marina. The artificial sun is slipping away and the shelter has been outfitted with lots of snack foods for lovers of sweet and salty alike, board and card games, movies from the families of guilty pleasures as well as the spooky, pillows, blankets, and even some sleeping bags. They were not easy to find!

This can only mean one thing. It must be time for....

A SLUMBER PARTY!

And, yes, as requested a few doors to unoccupied rooms have been marked private.]


((OOC: I have notifs turned off of this post, so spam and threadjack to your heart's content. Treat it like any event post (example: the fire celebration). If you want to play with Yuuri directly, you'll just need to tag his thread. Also, there are not actually going to be any monsters or fog this evening.

If you are planning to be a bystander at the Xellos fight, you probably shouldn't tag here unless you note that it's later (and you might want to actually wait and see how that goes and then actually tag here late too in case you have injuries.) There will be time overlapping.))

[It's time.]

[Fou-Lu, in hybrid form, circles through Sector 6, only low enough to be seen in silhouette from the ground, yet not too far from those waiting for the confrontation to begin. Avoiding looking in anyone's direction, he tries a few aerial tricks as a distraction while he mentally prepares himself for the fight. They're half-hearted and sloppy maneuvers, for while he has no fears or reservations about what he is going to do, the repercussions may not be so easily endured.]

[Out of nowhere, as is his nature, Xellos appears a few dozen yards in front of where Fou-Lu is dancing around. His amusement is clear, the only other emotion evident is a very clear challenge.]

Well, well. I see you're looking for me, Sir Fou-Lu. [He bows, tossing his cape, and then glances up, his normally closed eyes opening to reveal inhuman, cat-like pupils.] I am, of course, at your service.

((OOC: The first thread will be a CLOSED thread with Xellos, Fou-Lu, Minako, Ryu, Joshua, Ammy, and Zelda. Please note that all property damage will be caused by only Xellos unless specifically stated otherwise. Will contain violence, obv.

Bystander thread is HERE, and is OPEN, treated as an event post (ie, threadjacks aplenty!). Read the first comment of the thread for details as to what your character will see, what sort of rubble and spells they will dodge, etc.))

[Okay, how to go about this? It was kind of... awkward. He kinda didn't really WANT to do this, but Kaoru...

He'd do it for Kaoru!]

Hey, Miss Jennifer... did you still want to teach me how to bake?

[It's obvious she has just woken up not too long ago as her feed flicks on. Her hair's still in a mess and her clothing's wrinkled up. She... really needs to get some new duds soon, too. This is the second day she's worn them-- but she doesn't want to bother her current housemates about it. There are more important matters to attend to. Especially after hearing all this monster commotion.]

Axel? Roxas? Xion? Where are you guys? Is everyone alright? Sora? Namine? Orihime?

[She could go on listing names, but she hopes that those who she's been in contact before with might just take the hint. She's looking visibly worried. Kairi still can't believe she just slept through all that! Some help she was!]

[If he had to be honest, he had enjoyed his day with Euphemia. Still... There is Hikaru. How had he done? Is he angry? Had he figured it out? Kaoru's stomach is in knots. He's very nervous and very anxious about how Hikaru is doing now. It's just... Well. Kaoru really had wanted to be around to watch. This time he's trusted Hikaru... Time to figure out if it's paid off.


He's sitting in their room. Waiting.]
