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.

Sunny waves, half-way through a drawing of another castle. He pats the space beside him, partly to get her to join (and partially because he’s afraid everyone will figure out where he is. That’s too much right now).]
no subject
That's a nice castle! Is it from one of your dreams? Or from the waking world back home?
no subject
He has to flip between two pages to do so, but he’s capable of that at least.]
Dream. [And, because she will remember-] Sweetheart’s castle
no subject
[Does she have something in common with an anthopomorphised doughnut?]
Is everything else who lives there a doughnut too?
no subject
[A little drawing of Sweetheart, laughing haughtily, is added to the front of the castle. He isn’t really sure otherwise, but she is queen.]
Doughnuts live in Orange Oasis. She went by herself. Sprout moles too.
[And a few more of those are added, just to show Frieda what they look like. Some in dainty armor hats, others look to be wearing Sweetheart merch.
It’s completely normal castle, right?]
no subject
[The sprout moles mystify her a but, but at least she knows what a mole is! She can extrapolate from there.]
no subject
He thought back to that room he had found beneath the castle…]
She traveled to speak with the Keeper [A small drawing of something squiggly] He made the castle for her
[As to if she missed anyone…] She seemed fine last I saw.
[OK, maybe not, she got eaten by Humphrey, but really, she’s persistent enough that SUnny wouldn’t have been shocked by another cameo after that.]
no subject
[She's really asking him some tough questions... and she doesn't even realise it!]
no subject
He doesn’t mind though.
When his writing starts again, there are little pauses while he figures it out.]
No castle there. [Though he guesses, maybe, she could have been the overseer of Dino Dig? She wanted grander things though.] Plus Sprout Moles are easy to persuade, so they all loved her.
[Ask him about the reality TV marriage show sometime. So many seasons and all the attempted suitors were sprout moles.]
no subject
[Clearly, emigrating and subjugating easily influenced foreigners is the way to go for those with royal aspirations!]
no subject
Was a pyramid. But it’s not a castle.
[Once again, Sweetheart’s eccentric tastes had won out (at least in his mind). Though since she had been consumed by Humphrey… maybe he would think up some sort of sequel. A younger donut with a kind demeanor helping out those in Orange Oasis. That sounded nice (and less likely for random detours).
A few little sketches of this were drawn out… but Sunny kept glancing towards the tablecloth. Some part of him was afraid of someone else discovering him here; another part felt somewhat bad for keeping Frieda from the party…]
no subject
How come you're here under the table? Did you get overwhelmed?
[She can imagine the main reason, seeing how she doubts that he and Kel are on speaking terms again just yet. Even so, she's sure that Kel wants Sunny to enjoy himself rather than hide away from the rest of the group!]
no subject
Large gatherings, even though he likes the people here, were always more overwhelming for him.
But…]
I still don’t know how to talk to him.
[Kel, he means. Frieda would pick up on that easily enough from their last conversation. Sunny has at least been thinking about how to resolve the fight but… that first step was always scary.]
