bee beez in the trap [ partially open ]
characters: Sora, Bucky, Misty, Jason, and you!
location: All over Beacon with a focus on the amusement park exploration!
date/time: Backdated to Feb 27th for the exploration, stretching all the way up to the 19th just before the event.
content: March catch-all! (Even though the amusement park exploration is in February technically!) This is the official Sora gives your character a cupcake for his birthday post! Like the Valentine's chocolate, if you want to handwave your character receiving a cupcake, please do so! They're all chocolate, vanilla, or blueberry (the latter courtesy of Soldat.) That will be on the 9th, so if your character was outside when they got their cupcake from Sora, there's a very good chance they got colorbombed by the Birds of Paradise event on that day as well. Also in this post: a dinner, some stops at the gacha machine and the library, some cooking, some crafting, some note taking, some rain.
warnings: Discussion of the cybernetics and the stuff he had to do to get the cybernetics might get a little gross and scary but everything else should be pretty okay!
[ A: Amusement Park (02/27); closed to Bucky, Misty, and Jason ]
Explorations with Team Wolf Pack are for fun only! Imminent death all around notwithstanding, Sora wants this to be a good time! (And maybe a test run for that unsupervised launch into the unknown him and Jason are still planning. Hey, he'd still like to know how far he and Jason can go into the darkness, just the two of them!)
So, here's him, walking along, occasionally striking up a hiking game or asking questions of his fellow explorers. It's not going to be a long journey, but he'd like to keep their spirits up just in case whatever happens to meet them isn't friendly.
Good thing it is. And boy, isn't the amusement park a treat! It's basically all the games at the Night Market and nothing else except for that eerie old rollercoaster, huh? Very picturesque. Let's enjoy the ambiance while we can before heading back home.
[ B: Misty's Cabin; Closed to Bucky and Misty ]
They're almost done getting Soldat's stuff over to Misty's, so they're having one last "hey we should probably eat some of this food since we're going to be serving three instead of four to five from now on" meal. That's a little depressing, but they're a unit and know how to keep that kind of depressing nonsense out of a conversation by now!
So they talk about other things. Like what they're up to in Beacon these days. The B&B! Their patrols! Dancing lessions! The fistbump report! And, like, you know, more small introductory things that they have missed about each other two months into their weird little group dynamic. Like, how Misty's really into gators? And how Soldat's a little more casual with their language now. (Too casual. Misty chides them for using strong language around the child. Sora's like, man, Misty, I'm twenty now, you can swear around me.)
Anyway, Sora is also a cyborg, right? No arm, though. Sora brings up that his eyes are just for aesthetic at this point. (He may have traded the reticles away during the last Night Market, oops.)
"Yeah, so now it's just my heart and lungs that are metal? And my bones are reinforced. And like, everything else. There's a spike in my brain, too, but I don't think it does anything." Sora takes a bite of his pasta and thinks nothing of it. Sometimes, people just have spikes in their brains? It's 2020, do what you need to cope.
[ C: All over Beacon; Open ]
(i. just kind of everywhere)
[ March 9th is Sora's birthday! Or, well, it's close enough. He's having a quieter celebration with the wolf pack + Jason and Naminé later on, but he and Soldat made a ton of cupcakes and he's assuming everyone attending his birthday is only going to have one or two. So, this is an excited dude here with a big Tupperware tub of cupcakes. He'll be stained with bright colors from the bird spirits chucking colored powder in the air, and once he changes into his novelty bongo card shirt, he'll probably get increasingly giddy about it as the day goes on. Hey, it's fun! ]
Hi! Do you want a cupcake? Today's my birthday, I made too many. Here!
(ii. gacha machine)
[ It's the same prompt as i except your character can comment on Sora putting slices of cupcake into the gacha machine and, like, talking to it? Like it's an actual person? What's up with that? He's also going to put a little party hat on top of its little dome and some festive curled ribbon on its handle for his birthday.
Like, really, he is just chatting at this thing about the finer details of his birthday like it's gonna talk back to him. What's his deal? ]
(iii. library)
[ After delivering the Librarian's cake, Sora can either be caught sweeping up (it's a Monday, and Mondays are for cleaning the library) or seen later at one of the tables, still somewhat colorstained but with arms mostly wiped off so he doesn't have to clean the table. He's got a couple of notebooks with him and he's writing in them - letters, notes, recipes, schedules - and switching between notebooks so he doesn't get too bored with any one task. He also has a couple of weird reports stacked in front of him that he refers to every once in a while, wiggling his pen around in some thought.
However, if he sees another person in the library, he's going to grin and turn away from his work. And yes, he's going to stage whisper at them. ]
Hey! Here! It's my birthday! Have a cupcake!
[ D: The Landmark's restaurant kitchen; Open ]
The spirits are tittering as Sora slides his second pie into the trash, sighing. Okay, so he wants to think he's getting better at this whole pie thing, but clearly the first pie was a fluke. Or maybe he's just gotta make sure he actually pays attention to the pie while it's in the oven? (Good thing no fires can catch in Beacon. That would have been kind of messy.)
There's a passable blueberry pie cooling on the counter nearby, but man, he really did want to have two pies done today so he knows he's got the hang of it before the end of the month. After all, Maes' birthday is important too!
If anyone enters the kitchen and even so much as looks at the pie, Sora will smile at them, looking a little frazzled. "Hey. Want some pie?"
[ E: Patrol (North Beacon); Open ]
[ Sora's doing that weird thing where he collects rocks and stashes them near the torch posts again, except it's only the one near the lake, and he's not doing any further renovations to the torch he already put there. Instead, he's making sort of this weird oblong mound of rocks next to the torch that just keeps getting higher and higher and higher as the days go on. Eventually, it'll start evening out at knee height! What is this thing?
Sora keeps working on it during his patrols, and can also be seen wandering Downtown, checking the storefronts, but the majority of his time will be spent dutifully on patrol, picking up rocks and adding to his weird long pile. Hey, 2020, do what you need to cope, etc.
It also might be raining! ~*Ambiance*~. ]
[ F: Wildcard ]
[ If we set up something for March and want to put it somewhere I'll put it here! Will match format, pm me, etc. ]

no subject
The touch does very little to convince him that her range of ability includes getting herself back to her place instead of portaling herself into the flooded mall or something, but it is reassuring to him, personally, that she waits for him. While he runs over to the cabinet for aspirin and hurriedly stuffs blackened rags into his backpack and slings it on his back, she waits. It's a lot kinder than he deserves. Too late, too weak, too fragile, too gullible, too prone to catastrophizing when left on his own, skin as thin as paper. It's kind of comical that he ever thought he'd be a hero someday.
Enough. He shakes his head furiously. His self-pity is background noise and he knows it, needs to get used to reminding himself that he's doing it again. Someone needs his help now. She's been kind enough to wait for him. He needs to set his stupid hangups aside. Enough. ]
It's not gonna be in a kitchen.
[ Sora finishes cleaning up and turns to face Carmilla finally, eyes making contact with hers before he remembers the hypnotism thing, then makes an executive decision to stop thinking about it. By now, he's gotten the whole vampire thing registered, if not internalized in a way that will freak him out again. He needs to internalize it at some point because it's not kind to just ignore that it's there, but boy, if there's anything he's good at, it's ignoring reality until it's convenient, or until it bites him in the ass.
He doesn't know how to say this (especially in light of the overcompensating bit; hey, Carmilla, if you're gonna get real in your last hours, you gotta warn a guy) so he's just gonna. ]
If you're gonna need blood, I think we'd better be sitting down. And I think you're gonna wanna be close to your place for it. And I dunno if you can take me with you if you take your shortcut, especially right now, so let's get you to the elevator.
[ Sora is going to take her by the arm and sling it over his neck as long as she doesn't struggle. He'll be nice about it, because nice is about the only thing he's good at, but he will persist until he gets his way. Then he'll tug her along to the door like he's done this a hundred times. (It's more like twice, but at least he doesn't insist on a piggyback like with all the other girls.) ]
wrap here or on yours??
she thinks it's far more honest to admit nobody is a hero. if anything she'd like Sora a little better knowing he had so many gaping holes in his self esteem. stop trying to be a hero, kiddo — be a selfish little asshole like the rest of the world, that makes so much more sense.
Carmilla, for her part, doesn't think much about the eye contact. she's a little too far gone to sort through all the possible vampiric tendencies he could be worried about — and even if she was, he'd find that she's not much like the ones he's read up about or watched acted out in a hip new YA adaptation. there are rules to being a blood sucking parasite, and when she's weak she isn't at all able to pull out her bag of tricks. the long and short of it is most of her power comes from being fed, and if she's puking up every last bit of her last meal, she's not going to have any power at all until she can get it out of her system. and any energy she has is not going to be spent on compelling some kid that is already attempting to help her, for some unknown reason, anyway. )
Feeding isn't going to help right now. ( just like eating in the midst of a bout of food poisoning, it was probably just going to come back up as the body automatically assumed the worst, rejecting everything just in case.
he reaches for her arm and she can't help a slightly annoyed huff of breath. not really at Sora, though, it might seem that way. more that she has no other choice but to take it. she winds an arm around his shoulders and leans on him for the support she desperately needs, even though she won't let herself want it. <
and he's smart to not try for a piggyback, there's just a limit to how stupid and weak she can look at once, okay??? ) Elevator, ( she confirms breathlessly as he starts pulling her that way, because while she's not confirming or denying she has magical vampire girl powers to get places, she will at least agree that not risking them right now is probably the best call. he's honestly right, she'd probably poof into a wall or into the river or somewhere equally undesirable.
as much as she hates it, she's going to have to see this through. and maybe when she starts wretching dead black blood again, he'll get spooked and bail. she just hopes that she can get back to her penthouse before that happens. )
