Who: The KH contigent of Strings and anyone they invite (closed)
Where: Pisces 7-08; Aqua's Apartment
Summary: It's Christmas; time to throw a party, remember one's loved ones, and
Warnings: Keyderps being derps?

As much as he actually found himself enjoying his job in the Aries district, Terra was rather glad that he had been given Christmas off. But as much as he actually enjoyed the holiday, he wasn't in the Christmas spirit.

It would be the first Christmas that Terra had spent off the Land of Departure in memory without Master Eraqus. Likewise, it was also the first Christmas in four years without Ven to help celebrate. It left the Keybearer in something of an underwhelmed mood.

But ... he wasn't the only one that wouldn't have loved ones present. Xion had lost both Roxas and Lea in a very short amount of time, the two having disappeared not too long ago. It understandably left Xion in need of cheering up. But what could...?

Well. That's an idea. A pretty good one, too.

Half an hour later, and Terra is knocking on Aqua's door in the Pisces apartment complex, a few bags on the floor. What exactly is he up to, here?

The decorations were in place, the food laid out on a table, and the last-second invitations had been sent out. With any luck, this gathering would help raise a few spirits this Christmas.

Now to hope it doesn't backfire horribly.

[The kitchen is the best place to learn about exciting things! Cooking and baking are so fascinating! And thus he makes a beeline for that room no matter where he is. No matter what happens there... fire is only a sign that maybe you should try something different, after all!

This time he has an amusing novelty apron embroidered with "kiss the cook" and the gleam in his eyes that says he's looking to start a few fires.]

Hello, Aqua... what are you doing?

[One of his Bad Feelings had started up maybe a minute before Xehanort had even walked in the door, but Terra had been too busy in the kitchen to even ponder what that feeling might be warning him about.

The second he hears Xehanort's voice, he freezes in place. He places the knife he had been using to slice various fruits for snack trays (why were the apples purple? Another thing he'll never find out) and walks out of the kitchen.

... He is not sure whether he wants to laugh or run when he sees the apron Xehanort is wearing. Sure, he has his own on, and there's flour and the like already on it, but it's a plain black one, not... that.

... Okay. He'll smirk. A little. It's amusing.] She's decorating. I'm taking care of the menu.

[... Oh, he knows he's going to regret this... but the guy wants to learn. Better to have him learn right than to lose another toaster. Or blender.] If you promise that you'll follow my instructions, you can help in here.

[Oh, it's Terra. It's not a big deal for the most part. The last few times he'd been in the kitchen it had been Aqua, but a Terra is fine too. He hovers a bit behind to watch what Terra is doing for a moment, wordlessly.

When the invitation comes, he gives a bit of a face... but his eyes focus all the more intently.] I promise. What are you making?

[Aqua had just left and was going to be back soon; really, all she needed to get was more chocolate for the hot cocoa. That's all. So when she walks in and sees both facetwins beginning to work?

...Okay, she's trying not to giggle at the apron. Keyword being try. She has her own share of embarrassing things, sure...! Not like she'd tell anyone, though. So feel free to hear that soft laugh behind you, boys.]

...Looks like fruit trays. Would you like to help him while I prepare the drinks?

[Nothing alcoholic, too many people under the age of 21 (wait was she technically the only one who was?)]

[He turns to lok over his shoulder at the laughter and ghajkshglakjf now there's two of them. He would frown at the laughter itself, but he's easily turned back to the task at hand.]

Is it just slicing the fruit? That's easy enough.

[Terra can only sigh and shake his head. At least with the promise from Xehanort, he's a lot more at ease. No need to fear for the state of Aqua's kitchen, for the most part.] For the moment, yes. I was going to get started on some baked goods goods once I was finished.

[... hm. He walks over to the counter, where he'd left a recipe book. He leafs through it, and then stops at one page and hands it over to his off-colored face-twin.

There's a recipe on that page for sugar cookies.] Here, you can get started on those; just follow the recipe, and it should turn out fine. Once you're done making the dough, we can divide it up, roll it out, and cut some shapes out of it.

[Easy, right?]

[Aqua nods faintly, calming down with only a faint smile crossing her lips at that. It's... so, so weird.

Oh dear. Yep. She is now the supervisor.]

I can help gather the ingredients... here. [She takes a bag of sugar from the shopping bags. What? She was running low!]

[He takes the book and studies it, looking at it thoughtfully... already considering some sort of change or other most likely...]

Simple enough...

[Terranort. Terranort, no. You will follow the recipe and you will like it. Otherwise you are joining Aqua in dish washing duty. :|]

If we put in a few drops of peppermint oil, it will give them more of a Christmas-y flavour, won't it?

[After all, who would have not explained Christmas and all its trappings to the him...]
