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. ]

"Most of them do, yeah. Pterodactyl, Triceratops, Brontosaurus...there are a bunch of others, but those are the ones I remember off the top of my head." He's not going to mention that his memory of dinosaurs is not from a museum but from a children's television show. Maybe they should find Soldat a dinosaur book so he doesn't think they're making all of these up.

"Yup," Sora replies cheerfully, putting up two fingers above his ears for its head horns. "Two here, and one," he mimes the nose horn, "here. Iunno who named them, although, like, velociraptor sounds like a guy that goes real fast, right?" Hey, he doesn't know roots, but words that sound like other words is something that even a dummy like Sora can understand.
no subject
"Scientists obsessed with Greek and Latin roots words. A lot of science stuff gets that treatment, just look in a medical or astronomy book. Most of the dinosaur names are Greek I think...I'm not as good with Greek." He nods to Sora, "But...the reason you think speedy is because the name comes from the Latin word for swift: velox. The Tyrannosaurus is interesting because when you use the full name, Tyrannosaurus Rex, you're combining the Greek word for 'tyrant' with the Latin for 'king.'"
Jason resists the urge to adjust his glasses. He can practically hear Percy making the professor joke from a million worlds away.
no subject
Why yes, Soldat is unaware Latin is a dead language. It's not knowledge an assassin would need, so why bother letting the Asset know? Seriously, the things they know vs don't know is very random sometime.
no subject
I don't... think they speak Latin anywhere anymore," he adds, looking at Soldat briefly and frowning. He's pretty sure it's called a dead language for a reason, right? "Unless you guys speak it at your camp?" This is directed with sort of an open curiosity at Jason. Maybe it's an immersion thing? Where the gods speak it, so they have to, too?
no subject
Another demigod perk he supposes, though Latin definitely comes to him more easily.
"And we don't speak it ALL the time -- but we're kind of hardwired for it because of our parents, yeah."

"Probably," he finally says to Sora, before looking back to Soldat, "It's...kind of like another one of my powers I guess...well, one that all demigod children are born with." It certainly wasn't specific to sons of Jupiter.
no subject
They do in fact remember what that is, and having had to smash a couple while on a mission in the Middle East. Interesting.
no subject
"It's my turn!" He totally forgot they were playing a game! Ugh! "N! N for, uh. Nnnope, nope is not an animal." Holy moly, and here he was supposed to be the expert. "Newt! N's real hard," he adds. It is indeed, especially if they play by the rule that species names don't count. (Dog breeds is a good one for middleschoolers, usually. Maybe next time!)
