Lost At A Sleepover

WHO: EVERYONE - Meeting time!
WHAT: Kel, Frieda and Nagito organized a party/sleepover!
WHERE: The largest house they could find in the area
WHEN: Between one crossing and another
WARNINGS Nooooot really much?

There are few things Kel treasures deeply in a place like that. The siblings, sure, his new basketball with the creepy face on it, but also the opportunity to build bonds with others. From what he understands, the memories they build in there will stay, so... why not making great ones? thigns that will remind them they're 'alive' in their own way, that even if theirr identity is lost at every Crossing just a bit more... they're still themselves? He has been in an awful mood since he and Sunny had... a fight? Something? He doesn't even know how to call their poor attempt at a tlak but he knows his best friend is now avoiding him like the plague and it hurts. That being said? He's smiling rto whoerever approaches the building and waving at them. Invitations were sent out, preparations had been done and even at this 'pit stop' there's a community event, so to speak, ready to go.

The whole building may be baely lit, but the precious jars Frieda brought in with glow worms (Some with sitiks and leaves in, too) gave the whole place a cozy and comfortable look. The woman also brought in basins and such, decorated now with water lilies and other few flowers. Ribbons, strings, anything they could find has been gathered as well to make the place 'prettier'. There's no point in being stuck with an ugly room, right? Nagito took clear of all the cleaning, leaving the place spotless, and Kel carried inside all the mattresses he could gather. After a long time processing how to place things? He opted for leaving bed frames alone and just sitting a whole corner of the area with mattresses and blankets for everyone to share.

The few games they can make with sticks and mud are there as well. He may have no apples, but one basin has been filled with water and lily buds to play the 'bite into it and drag out as many as you can' game, whatever it's called. There are sticks and differently colored rocks to prepare some Tic Tac Toe games (sort of. Grey and green rocks VS Xs and Os), there is a space with all the paper (damp, humid) he could find and some pencils and pieces of charcoal too.

The true stars of the sleepover, though? A bonfire set right outside, as safely as possible (with rocks and mud all around the charchoal and chairs put at a safe distance from it) and FOOD. Nagito was an angel and got not only a picnic set for them all, btu also real food. There's wonderful, greasy pizza (one little square has already been stolen, it seems) covered in cheese, A plate full of chimichangas (and here Kel is guilty of taking one), watermelon already cut in large slices, steak that may be warmed up by the fire, chocolate chip cookies, bags of popcorns and both ice and lemonade for whoever wants them.

"Welcome to the party! Nagito and Frieda did such a good job here! You should come inside, we have everything ready. And, hey, why don't you considering moving in here, too? At least until we have to move? You know... company is very important, after all!" He isn't in the mood to look happy but that's irrelevant.

[Nagito is doing a very good job! Good host!

Sunny listens to the list. He wasn’t part of the conversation, but if he could guess…]


Orange Joe? [The writing is accompanied by a drawing of a can. Some sort of carbonated beverage, mostly.

That’s what Kel would wish for, especially at a party. Sunny can almost hear the other lamenting about there being none, imagination watching the other rush up to the Ferryman with vigor (OK, it’s tinged in Headspace, but it is proof that, as much as Kel is a touchy subject right now, Sunny is still thinking of his friend).]

Orange Joe...? No, I haven't heard of that. [Nagito frowns, concerned.] Should I have asked for something like that? I hope Kel-kun wasn't disappointed.

[Never mind he asked for exactly what Kel requested, plus the cookies courtesy of Mari's suggestion.]

[Sunny shakes his head, not seemingly concerned about it. Nagito seems more worried - bothered? - than he would have expected.

The notebook scrawl comes faster, if only to assure the other.]


Is ok. If he didn’t ask for it.

[It was odd though, and the thought left Sunny frowning somewhat, that Kel hadn’t asked for Orange Joe. The aptly-named carbonated drink was almost so synonymous with the other teen that the two pictures would be connected in some sort of dictionary.]

Well, alright. [Sunny would know better than him.] Maybe the next time Kel-kun sets something like this up, we can surprise him with it.

[It’s a good plan. A thumbs up!

Even if his hand shakes somewhat. Even if Sunny is avoiding Kel right now because he’s scared.

…Kel always deserved to have other friends that care about him. Sunny knew this - even during those four years when he couldn’t move on, Kel had made friends and still come back for him.

But analyzing all those thoughts is scary, so he readjusts his posture and sends another note to Nagito.]


You’re a good friend
