Rockin' Around The Charlie Brown Christmas Tree [OPEN]

Characters: Anyone and everyone!
Content: Get your Christmas Party on!
Location: The Weapons Deck
Time of day: Evening of Christmas Day, after people have gotten presents
Warnings: None...for now...

[Since the Weapons Deck is totally empty, Mike and the Bots have taken it upon themselves to transform it for a rockin’ good Christmas Party! The Charlie Brown Tree has been safely set aside too; all decorated up. There’s a table with punch, food and way too many desserts for any group of people to handle, a bunch of Christmas decorations thanks to Rarity and her decorating crew, and even Christmas music that’s only slightly annoying!

Characters are free to come in and grab food, mingle, play games, exchange gifts or stories...whatever they want! Obviously, treat this thread as party-style.

There’s one more special note...there’s a couple bowls of punch sitting next to a big pan of Green Bean Casserole of Tranquility. Unfortunately, Crow accidentally mixed in some leftover Waters of Forgetfulness to make the punch. That water, combined with the spicy punch flavoring, has created an unusual concoction. If your characters drink some of this punch, they won’t notice anything wrong...at least yet!]

This was ridiculous and whoever had fiddled with that punch was going to pay for it if Roxas found out who they were. But, at the moment, he could really only go for damage control... hopefully.

When Sora almost bowled over Aqua, Roxas realized this was just plain getting out of hand and that, really, he was going to need some help. Maybe...

"Aah! Grab him!" he called out, "Someone screwed around with the punch and he had some!"

"Hi Aqua! Bye Aqua!" Sora only gave Aqua a brief greeting as he nearly ran into her. "I'll be back in just a sec!"

It was practically a race now as far as Sora was concerned. They wanted to grab him? They'd have to catch up! He had way too much energy and things to do now to just sit and listen!

Aqua might not have had access to the spells she might have once used to offer even a slight advantage, but even without them, she was no slouch at races. As long as Sora wasn't as fast as Ven she was pretty sure she'd do alright, and almost as soon as Roxas had spoken up she was off.

She wasn't quite sure what was going on, but last she'd spoken to Sora he hadn't struck as being quite this... excitable, for lack of a better term.

Roxas would explain as much as he could as soon as they caught Sora. In the meantime, he was wondering where Sora could be headed given that he'd said something about a costume. If he knew his way around well enough, Roxas would have headed to the most likely place to try to head him off, but there was no such luck right now.

Hopefully, whatever had gotten into Sora wouldn't lead to any fighting, but maybe that concern was better left to when they caught him...

Fortunately for Aqua, he wasn't quite as fast as Ven. Unfortunately for her, Sora was still running pretty fast. But fortunately again for her, since the party was so crowded, Sora was having trouble weaving through people without bumping into them. While he got close to the stairs, he was stopped by a group of friends in a cluster, chatting with each other. A bit of slipping around by the wall, and he was then just a few steps from the stairs...

Luckily, Aqua had an easier time slipping through the crowd. This did not, however, mean that she had any idea of where exactly he was going and she was left with simply doing her best to stay approximately parallel to where he was going.

If she'd heard what Sora had been intending to get, she might have been able to guess at which deck he was going to. But really that shouldn't matter as long as she kept him in sight. Hopefully the steps would keep him from getting away too fast. Hopefully.

Roxas wasn't having any easier a time maneuvering through the party than Sora was, but at least he kept both Sora and Aqua in sight. Really, where could Sora be going?

And then it occurred to Roxas that, hey, Aqua had been here long enough that she might know where Sora could be heading given what he was trying to do. So he called to her.

"He said something about a costume!"

"Yeah, it'll be great!" Sora called back to Roxas, completely oblivious to the fact that their intentions were not to see how great his sudden idea was.

Once reaching them, he started up the stairs...not running as fast as before, mostly because all of a sudden something else sounded really fun and he was taking the time to jump from one side of the stairs to the other.

Costumes? Aqua couldn't see why Sora would want to find a costume, but it did give her an idea of where about Sora would be heading to.

"Got it!" she called back to Roxas, before following Sora on up the stairs. Here, Sora's distraction turned out to be to her advantage. While she knew that she wouldn't catch up to him just be hurrying up the stairs - he'd hear her coming no matter how hard she tried - that didn't mean she was going to admit defeat. Far from it. Instead, she took a moment to watch Sora's jumping before she took to the stairs.

Or at least, she mostly took to the stairs. Nothing of what she did could actually be called climbing the stairs. Rather, it was a good deal more acrobatic, and seemed to involve the walls just as much as the actual stairs in order to get up faster. Just about the only thing it didn't involve was actually cartwheeling up the stairs.

Odd though it may have looked, it worked. Between Sora's new interest and her moving faster she managed to catch up to Sora, grabbing a hold of his arm. It really wasn't going to be much more than a temporary measure, but it would do for now.

Roxas was impressed with the acrobatics, but now really wasn't the time to comment on them. He hurried to catch up and really hoped it wouldn't come to a fight.

"Sora, seriously what has gotten into you?" he asked as he caught up.

Sora completely ignored Roxas's question to focus more on Aqua, who had him by the arm. Apparently, Sora was quite impressed by the acrobatics too. "That was aaaaawwwwesome!"

"Can you show me how to do that? I could totally do that!" He asked Aqua first, then seemed to have the idea that he could do it just as well a moment later. He attempted to drag Aqua over to the railing to show off his own skills, grinning with excitement.

Could she...? Well, she wasn't about to doubt Sora could learn. It wasn't really all that hard. Just time consuming. But she certainly wasn't about to try teaching him while they were still standing on the stairway. Neither was she entirely sure about teaching Sora anything when he was acting like this.

"Maybe later," she answered, doing her best to remain the immovable object and keep Sora from jumping onto the rail. She didn't at all like the possibilities inherent in that, just now.

At this point, it looked very much like it might be necessary to physically restrain Sora. Roxas didn't much like the idea, but he felt he could deal with Sora's indignation over it better than he could deal with Sora possibly getting hurt. With that in mind, while Sora was distracted with Aqua, Roxas took a hold of his other arm.

"Sora, I think that's enough," he said firmly. His intent was to maybe bring Sora to his room, but he was reasonably certain it wasn't going to go smoothly.

Jeez, where was Riku when he was needed? He probably wouldn't even have needed any help to catch Sora.

Sora was halted in his progress to the railing by Aqua refusing to budge, and he turned back with a bit of a frown. "Awww come on! I've got this really cool backflip that..."

And then Roxas went and grabbed his other arm. Sora tried to struggle against the two at first, but when he discovered that that wasn't going to work in this state, he slumped down a little bit and then again burst into laughter. "Hahahaha...look at you guys! You look ridiculous!"

Yes, and if Aqua was any judge that 'really cool backflip' would become a disaster sooner than anyone could imagine. Not something she wanted to have happen, when she couldn't cure people as well as she once been able to. But seeing as how Sora seemed to be rather less than inclined to fight his way out of their grasp.

"We're not the only ones," she commented, keeping her tone carefully light. No looked anything other than mildly ridiculous when they were laughing quite as hard as Sora was.

"Speak for yourself," Roxas grumbled under his breath in response to Sora's latest outburst. Then, more clearly, "Uh, Aqua? Maybe we ought to take him to his room."

Of course, what to do with him when they got him there was a good question, but maybe it could wait until they did get there.

Sora's laughter continued all throughout Aqua's patient comment and Roxas's slightly less patient one. This whole situation just seemed immensely funny to him!

"Whaaat?" Sora's face dropped at Roxas's suggestion, and he struggled a little more against the two. "Come on! The party's still going! And I was going to show you guys all that stuff!"

She should have known Roxas' comment wouldn't exactly go over well, with Sora like this. But she wasn't about to give in now, and she only held Sora's wrist more firmly. She'd gone to too much trouble catching him to let him wriggle free.

"You can show us tomorrow."

No way in hell was Roxas going to give Sora a chance to slip free now. It might not be so easy to catch him again if that happened.

"She's right, Sora," Roxas chimed in, hoping some small bit of reason might get through, "Tomorrow might be a better time for that."

Now Sora just couldn't understand why they were determined to put off all of this exciting stuff. He had all this energy now. Everything seemed awful interesting right now!

"The party's not over yet!" he protested, this time a little louder and more forcefully, and fought harder against them. "It's not even late!"

He struggled to get some traction with his shoes on the metal floor, at least enough to go and jump off somewhere or get running again.

No, it wasn't late. And yes, the party was still going. But if Sora wanted to be stubborn, well. It wasn't like Aqua was unused to that, and she shifted so more of her weight fell onto Sora. He wasn't going anywhere without her being okay with it first.

"There will be parties later. We aren't asking you to go to sleep, Sora."

Roxas had been expecting Sora to resist, though not quite this vehemently. Still, he held firm and hoped that, in the morning when his head was hopefully clear, Sora would understand why exactly they had to put a damper on his fun.

Sora had gone beyond stubborn at this point, and was just starting to get erratic. "Come ON! Stop being all mean about it!" he yelled. Didn't either of them want to have fun here?!

He began to fight a lot harder, putting on a huge burst of energy. He wrested back and forth against both, straining to free both his arms, although to do so without actually hurting either of them. And at least in one instance, he managed to wrestle out of the grasp of one of his friends. With one arm free, he brought it around to try and pry the other one free so that he could take off again. The whole situation again struck him as funny, as he kept laughing at Aqua and Roxas's faces all while fighting them.

And then, almost just as suddenly as it had begun, all that energy ran out. Apparently Aqua had been more on the mark than first thought, because the moment Sora stopped struggling, he slumped over and immediately fell asleep with a dopey grin on his face.

There was a moment of silence from Aqua after Sora collapsed. She hadn't meant to be quite that on the mark. Still, it wasn't going to do to leave him collapsed on the stairs, so with a soft sigh she bent to pick Sora up.

"Do you know where his room is?" Aqua asked Roxa, once she was satisfied that she wasn't going to drop Sora.

Roxas was worried at first when Sora suddenly conked out, though he calmed down when it became apparent that the dork was only asleep. As to the question...

"Uh... I know my room is close to it." And that was more or less it, "Maybe Riku or Namine knows exactly?" He was leaning towards asking Namine since he hadn't even seen Riku yet today.
