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. ]

They'll even have a bite while they keep writing. Soldat is capable of multi-tasking, see?
"I'm not sure if easing into it would've helped here, kid. Ain't on you, but I'm pretty I would've reacted badly to that no matter how you brought it up." At least they're all on the same page with having died multiple times, it seems.
no subject
Soldat is spared the fretting gaze, for now.
"It's good if we can get out ahead of stuff, mostly. Good to know before anything did happen."
no subject
He goes back to eating his food. Hey, Soldat has the right idea. He hopes nothing has happened? He doesn't know if anything has happened, unless whatever it is is so subtle that it didn't matter much in the first place. (Unless he's a totally different person from what he remembers, and that's its own can of worms. These are questions for later.)
"Thanks," he says, and then has to think of a reason why he's thanking them! It just seems like a good time. "For looking out for me," he says finally. That's a good one. It's true, at least.
no subject
And now they're out of things to write. They don't really know that much about the three people listed there. Or, well, about this. So they push the notebook over to Misty and Sora to review and focus on food. It reads:
Rhys: cybernetics knowledge, computer knowledge, cybernetic arm and eye, good memory // not much social interaction, don't know if can trust
Daylight: absolutely trustworthy, can speak to machinery to diagnose or learn about, knows robot first aid // basically a child, extremely large and not as dexterous
Rosalind Lutece: medical knowledge, interest in cybernetics and machinery, Inspector trusts her // from an earlier time period with less advanced technology, scientist
Scientist on Rosalind's list of cons is underlined twice. Soldat has biases. They are aware of those biases. But they still can't get around them.
no subject
"I think there's a very clear winner here." Trustworthiness, in her estimation, beats out technical prowess - not even entirely because of the healing abilities she's ready and willing to volley at this until things balance out.
(Making Soldat uncomfortable is a heavy strike.)
"Daylight seems like our guy."
no subject
"Yeah, hard same." Sora nods! "I like Daylight, he's a good guy. Didn't know he could talk to machines." He looks at the cons list and laughs a little. Basically a child, huh? It's just a funny way to put it. "You're right, he's like a little kid. Not in a bad way."
no subject
They still think they might need to loop in one of the others, too-- Rosalind, most likely, for the medical knowledge to possibly open up someone's skull without damaging the brain-- but Daylight is a good starting point.
no subject
Why limit that to thought?
"That's cute-- but, right, good, we picked it. Whenever it works, steamrolling him into this wouldn't be wise. Stressful for him, and all."
no subject
"We should ask Daylight if that's a thing you and me can learn." Yeah, talking to machines! Machines can totally be friends too.
no subject
no subject
Develop that danger, son.
"Soldat could benefit from relaxing, actually. That's its own whole set of goals. Secondary to brain spike, next on the docket."
They're good with projects.
no subject
"We should figure out what he can eat and come up with lunch plans. I think he's allergic to stuff?" Sora shakes his head. "Wasn't able to eat the Valentine's chocolate I was handing out a month ago, had to come up with something else." Coming up with lunch plans for feeding a teenage (?) robot seems like something both challenging and relaxing enough to distract the soldier from impending disaster. Hey, it works for Sora!
