Log:

[The birds have finished dropping everyone arrive at Olivine, and as friends mingle, everything seems quiet at first. The beach has been decorated, which will be further detailed in tags. Just as you’ve decided what you want to do, the front door to the House opens, and out steps Minnie…

… wearing a black and red maid outfit. And six of her Pokemon are wearing the frilly hair pieces too, lined side by side with her, three Pokemon on each side of her – Mickey the Azumarril, Donald the Pidgeot, Pluto the Gengar, Daisy the Magmar, and Walt the Charizard. Before you can begin questioning any of this, she clears her throat, because it’s time for what Disney does best. A song and dance number.]

My dearest friends, it is with deepest pride
and greatest pleasure that we welcome you here today.
And now we invite you to relax, let us pull up a
chair as the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse proudly presents -
your new home!

Be our guest! Be our guest!
Put our service to the test
Tie your napkin 'round your neck, my dear
And we'll provide the rest
Soup du jour
Hot hors d'oeuvres
Why, we only live to serve
Try the grey stuff
It's delicious
Don't believe me? We’ll grant your wishes!
We can sing, we can dance
Johto won’t leave it up to chance,
And a dinner here is never second best
Go on, invite your friends too,
Take a glance and then you'll
Be our guest ! Be our guest ! Be our guest!

Beef ragout
Cheese souffle
Pie and pudding "en flambe"
We'll prepare and serve with flair
A culinary cabaret!
You're alone
And you're scared
But the banquet's all prepared
No one's gloomy or complaining
While Pokemon are entertaining
We tell jokes and do tricks
Everyone gets their kicks
And it's all in perfect taste
That you can bet
Come on and lift your glass
You've won your own free pass
To be out guest
If you're stressed
It's fine dining we suggest
Be our guest! Be our guest! Be our guest!

It's a guest! It's a guest!
Sakes alive, well I'll be blessed!
Where our friends can rest their ends
I've had the napkins freshly pressed
With dessert, they'll want tea
And my dear that's fine with me
While Leon works his crew in
I'll be bubbling, I'll be brewing
In the cold and in the hot
Heaven's sakes! Is that a spot?
Clean it up! We want the company impressed
We've got a lot to do!
Is it one lump or two?
For you, our guest!
Be our guest! Be our guest! Be our guest!

Life is so depressing
When my friends needs are pressing
I’m not whole without a soul to wait upon
Ah, those good old days when I was useful...
Suddenly those good old days were gone
Over a year I’ve been rusting
Needing so much more than dusting
Needing exercise, a chance to use my skills!
Most days we I just laid around the beach…
Flabby, fat and lazy
Then this idea came and oops-a-daisy!
Be our guest! Be our guest!
Our command is your request
We’ll take no money ‘cause you’re our honey
And we're obsessed
With your meal, with your ease
Yes, indeed, we aim to please
While the candlelight's still glowing
Let us help you, We'll keep going
Course by course, one by one
'Til you shout, "Enough! I'm done!"
Then we'll sing you off to sleep as you digest
Tonight you'll prop your feet up
But for now, let's eat up
Be our guest! Be our guest! Be our guest!
Please, be our guest!

[All seven pose as the song ends. That’s probably the signal for the party to start and… where did those fireworks come from?!

Please wait until I put up all the activity posts, then you can tag! All done, have at it!]

Volleyball

[her-mouse-jesty.livejournal.com]

[A wide net has been set up, along with three volleyballs laying in the sand, in case any of the first ones are damaged, because Minnie knows how you crazy kids can be. Feel free to go one on one, set up teams, or just get up to hijinks.

Daisy the Magmar is supposed to be the referee, but she's pretty much just taking a nap on the sand.]

[thricebeatheart.livejournal.com]

[He's not so much playing as getting thrashed by both the pokemon on the opposing team, and jostled about by the pokemon on his own. Riku the Aipom has taken up place on the opposing side, and she's actually pretty good- at lobbing balls at Sora with almost deadly accuracy.]

Ground! Aim at the ground!

[Their referee might be out for the count, but Sora's having a great time anyway, even if the rules of the game have been completely laid to waste. There's more than one ball up in the air, and every now and again a collision is imminent when someone gets a little too zealous; but Sora's learning more from simply playing a game with the various pokemon, a few wild gatecrashers in the mix, to mind much at all.]

[Wakka was the one who knew the rules and kept him in check, anyway. And Wakka wasn't here...]

[adamant]

[ Sora's here. In the flesh, very real, standing there all gangly limbs and terrible volleyball serve. Almost despite himself, Leon's smiling, almost grinning.

Until a volleyball narrowly misses smacking him in the head.

He catches it inches in front of his face, glowering at the unruly Aipom who'd knocked it out of bounds... ]

Serve!

[ ...and coming in to join. Now mind you, they don't have beach volleyball--or any volleyball--in Radiant Garden, for fairly obvious reasons, so Leon only knows the rules Minnie's told him about. Good thing the rules don't matter anymore. He's joining Sora's side of the playing field, along with Strike the Lucario. ]

[thricebeatheart.livejournal.com]

[Unlike Leon, Sora has no reservations and smiling like a goof at a single word, turning to Leon with a cheer of welcome. Most of the pokemon don't seem to mind or even notice- despite the ball in Leon's hand, there's still another two rocketing across the court.]

This place is great, Leon!

[Not just the house, in all its hard earned glory. But the location, the togetherness- everything feels so connected, like it's clicked into place. A new journey that's starting out in the best way possible.]

[Seeing Leon here is just the icing on the cake.]

[adamant]

[ Leon reaches over and ruffles Sora's hair by way of greeting, before moving to swat back a ball coming their way. Strike beats him to it, and he figures she'll take care of target practice on their behalf. ]

I'm glad you like it. Minnie really wanted it to feel homey.

[ It's just a shame the King couldn't stay long enough to see it complete. ]

[thricebeatheart.livejournal.com]

[Hair ruffles? Oh now you're just spoiling him. If anything, he turns into a practical sunbeam, dancing out of the way of yet another flying projectile before giving his answer.]

It does feel like home. [More than anywhere else he's been in a long time. The beach, the simple wooden monolithic house on the landscape, Riku and Kairi-] If this is what happens when you build a house, Hollow Bastion is gonna look like a million bucks!

[adamant]

[ 'Course little bros gotta get spoiled at some point. Just don't get used to it, Leon will stop being insanely relieved to see you at one point or another and then the lineface might come back. ]

I only had one house to build here, Sora. At home I have hundreds. [ Return! ] It's not the same thing.

[thricebeatheart.livejournal.com]

[Might. Might is the keyword here. Until such a time when the relief rolls off, Sora will enjoy this for all he's worth-- and perhaps see if someone has a camera, just in case.]

But it will be! It just needs a little more time. [Some of the Crabbys wandering in from the beach have a wicked spike to them. The next ball gets slapped away before it can hit his face, Riku hooting as it goes out of bounds. She's probably keeping count.] And more help; but you have lots of that back home, too.

[adamant]

You sure have a lot of faith. [ A light boop on the top of Sora's head, because lol easily accessible. ] We're all doing our best. But our priority's getting the houses built, not making them pretty.

[thricebeatheart.livejournal.com]

Still gonna look like a million bucks.

[Oh c'mon Leon, that is so not fair! He'd need a step ladder to bop you back. Although he's quite the acrobat-]

It's the heart that'll make them look good, not what they're made of.

[Flying leap and- bap! Haha, looks like he's still got it.]

[adamant]

[ Whoa wait Sora's jumping up and--

Bop!

Having reflexively stepped back, Leon overbalances and goes toppling in the sand. Woops. Good thing he isn't wearing leather! ]

[thricebeatheart.livejournal.com]

[He...wasn't expecting that reaction. He gives Leon a good stare in dumbfounded silence for a moment, before cracking up into laughter.]

[That's the power of the keyblade!]

[adamant]

[ Leon's face is like: DX

Picking himself--and his pride--off the ground. ]

Warn a guy, next time.
