[open!] you're only everything I ever dreamed
Who: The Kingdom Hearts cast + You!
Which: Open Log!
Where: The collection of treehouses that the cast has made! And other areas!
What: An open log for residents and adjacent CR to come and go. Top levels inside!
Warnings: tba!
[Now that the residents of Songerein are settling in it seems that a group of uncanny key kids (and a few others) have come together to make a nice little collection of connecting treehouses. The houses are dreamed up and put together with a patchwork of wooden bridges and boards and spruced up with fairy lights that glow and hang from the rafters. The treehouses are high in the canopies of thick trees and the balcony sections are open and breezy for any visitors to come to walk up the steps and see.
Down below the treehouses on the ground seems to be a rather flourishing garden of sunflowers. Where they come from or how they sprouted is still unclear. But it is joined with a rather chubby-looking chicken that pecks at the ground occasionally. Along with the grazing chicken, there seems to be a whoosh of dragonfly wings as a large dragonfly has taken to the treehouse as a home too. And what is this? It seems they might have a small collection of blue birds that won't leave the house alone. What other creatures are out and about?
Dreammotion energy seems to be strong around the treehouses. As the trees house a collection of boys with vivid and wild imaginations. Sometimes lights will flicker brighter or plants will bloom with various strange flowers. And the smell of baking chocolate and cookies is always in the air.]

Putting on an expert grin and voice to match, Tifa lifts a finger.]
I wouldn't say more crispy. It'll just strike that perfect balance of crispy on the outside, tender on the inside.
[Is she already making herself right at home in his kitchen? Yep. It's so that she can demonstrate first, running her fingers under the tap before sprinkling the drops over the pan, the oil sizzling and bubbling in response.]
no subject
[Sora used to be pretty bad at anything cooking-related. But after learning a few tips and tricks from a rat-shaped friend Sora is quite the little cook now. He loves learning new things and he wants to get better at it! Because he can still be a little clumsy and rush too much.]
Look at that, it's working! I think!
[The bacon sizzles happily in the pan. And the smell of cooking bacon wafts up well. She's more than welcome to be right at home here, she's already doing cool things.]
Are those all the tomatoes that have grown in the garden too? I can't believe we got so many!
no subject
[She steps aside from the sink so that he can sprinkle some water on there too, but he needs to be careful not to get any splash back from the oil!
And while he does that, Tifa looks across the room to the bags of tomatoes she's brought with her.]
Mm-hm! Asougi helped me plant them a while back, and some of them were finally ready to be picked. They look great, don't they?
[She's so proud of herself...]
Have you been back to the gardens?
no subject
Yeah, they look super delicious already! They grew up so fast!
[She should proud! Those tomatoes look steller!]
I've been to the garden a few times since then, too! It took my friends and me a while to get our treehouse up like this but I've been popping by when I can. It was actually Asougi's idea that we grow some watercress and lotus and other veggies near the pond too. Looks like we've got a communal garden crew, huh?
no subject
[And Tifa has still been considering it for later, when they can expand it a little further. She hadn't expected that it would grow to be what it is now when they first came up with the idea.]
I'm thinking that once it starts warming up again, we could build a few new beds. Even a stall to sell what we grow and don't take home.
[Because at the rate it's growing now, they're bound to have plenty left over, and Tifa can only make so much tomato soup for herself and everyone else before they all start getting sick of it.]
no subject
Whoa, a shop?! That sounds great! Could I help too?
[Sora might be a little excited to be a part of that. He would work hard and be more than happy to help sell whatever leftovers they have. Working with his hands is always ultimately better for him so he would build the heck out of more planter beds. But his cute smile would go wonders with selling stuff! Let him help!]
I'll help build the beds and get a shop up and running!
no subject
[The whole garden was their collective idea to begin with! She wasn't about to start a brand-new venture without consulting him first, nor was she going to do that alone. You have much to learn about running a business, young Grasshopper.]
It won't be anything big. We don't have a whole lot to build with, but I'm sure we can figure something out.
[They have before, haven't they?]
That way, if people want fresh vegetables or herbs, they won't have to go all the way back into town to get them. All of them fresh in their own backyard. We could turn the profits to make the gardens even better, too.
no subject
Yeah!! Thanks! Whatever we can do will be great for everyone!
[He really is in it to help people get some of these fresh veggies and things too. It'll be a lot of fun to make a part of the community here.]
I bet we'll have everyone on board with that. It's a great idea, Tifa. I can't wait!
[Meanwhile he takes the bacon off the burner and prepares his pot of chocolate! Yeah, he's still doing that.]
no subject
Tilting her head, and looking at the bacon, and then to the pot, she arches a brow.]
So, what's the chocolate for?
no subject
Well, it's been a long time since me and my friends have been able to eat things like meat and candy. Since we were stuck as monsters in our last world we had to go a long time without eating anything like bacon or chocolate...
[... Does she know where this is going??]
So, to celebrate getting changed back we decided to put two and two together! Ever have chocolate-dipped bacon before, Tifa?
[This could be a disaster or completely genius.]
no subject
She's not sure whether to be intrigued or mildly put off by the idea, and she's pretty sure she's feeling a little bit of both at the moment while she watches the chocolate bubble on the stove, but she was also never one to judge a book by its cover, so to speak. Or in this case, food by its cover.]
I haven't, but... You should never knock something 'til you try it, yeah? Salty and sweet? Might not be so bad...!
no subject
[This is why he likes Tifa so much. Back in Hollow Bastion, she was always open-minded and ready for anything too. Even kicking Cloud's butt if she had to. He wonders if that's still the same?
The chocolate seems about done so Sora takes it off the heat. Once the bacon is dry and stiff they will be ready to dip.]
Once we got these dried pieces covered in chocolate we let them cool and then they're ready to be snacked on! Easy, right?
no subject
As easy as eating them's gonna be.
[While they wait, she figures now might be a good time to ask.]
So, when you say you were stuck as monsters in your last world, what exactly did you mean by that?
[Both the monsters and the "last world" part.]
no subject
It's kind of a long story. But basically, before I found myself here I was stuck in a whole other world. I'm pretty used to that sort of thing. I've been to a bunch of other worlds before since I can travel from one to another. But there's only ever been two places where I've been stuck. This world and the last one I was in.
[He moves to rub his nose.]
In that world, it was like some sort of magic slowly started changing all of us into monsters or witches. Slowly but surely everyone who was stuck like me turned into one or the other. In that world? I was half a rabbit.
no subject
She has a lot of questions, but first—]
And this transformation only let you eat what rabbits eat? How's that even healthy?
[He's a growing boy! There's no way he was stuck just eating carrots and lettuce... Which, fine. Is healthy and Tifa supports making healthy decisions, but where's the fun in that?]
no subject
Uh-huh! Basically! I was on a pure veggie and fruit diet for over a year! Even some baked goods used to make me sick. It was the worst.
[Well seeing as Sora never liked his vegetables before being a rabbit... Maybe he's better for it now? He likes them now!]
no subject
Tifa nods, understanding.]
I get it. That's what you're trying to make up for. Still, that couldn't have been a very interesting diet. Especially when you're in a whole other place.
[Think of all the different foods he might have missed out on! Actually no, don't.
She pauses, and peeks into the pot of chocolate.]
So, what kind of world was it? Anything like this one? Minus turning into rabbits.
no subject
[Don't worry- it wasn't real chimera or pixie meat. It was just called that. The truth of the fact is Sora has a lot of catching up to do! He wants to eat some much bacon?!]
But you know this world reminds me of it a little bit. At least the magic or the way things look. Aefenglom was a really magical world with a lot of tall towers and big forests and lakes. It was pretty colorful too with a lot of steam and coal powered stuff. And magic was in almost everything.
no subject
Sounds just like the place I was in before I came here. Did you like it there?
[Tifa takes a second to poke at a strip of bacon—carefully!—they should be about ready to dip into the chocolate!]
no subject
Sora nods and urges her to go right ahead. Time to dip the cooled bacon into the chocolate! Sora helps her with his own piece in hand too.]
Yeah. Since I was there for over a year it felt like a second home after a while. I made a lot of friends. A lot that I had to leave behind now, I guess. I hope everyone's doing okay.
no subject
I bet they're fine. Maybe they've even moved on to different worlds too. I did... Makes you wonder though, if we'd ever go back to them after all this, you know?
[And into the chocolate the bacon goes, where it bubbles as the oil mixes, and already, it's starting to smell heavenly... much to her surprise.]
no subject
I hope that everyone's okay in those other worlds... I miss them a lot. But I know that even if we're all apart we still have all those memories to keep.
[And then he shoves his own piece into the chocolate and lets it drip. When it's dry enough he holds it up like a cup in cheers.]
How about...! Here's to new friends and new memories too?
no subject
[The chocolate is remarkably fast to harden, but even Tifa is having some troubles with it when she lifts it up in a toast as well, the chocolate dripping down her fingers and to her arm that she has to stop herself to catch it before she can even take a bite.
Does he have napkins!?]
Memories...!
[Still, she goes for it anyway, scooping what she can into her mouth and getting chocolate all over her lips. Perhaps she should have waited a little longer, but it was all worth it in the end, because her face lights up when she gets a taste.]
Way better than I thought!
🎀
Careful, you're gonna drip!
[He snickers some more before it's time to chow down and... Sora is so happy when he finally gets a taste of that sweet and salty goodness. The promise of new friends and memories makes this warm sparkle of lights appear around them again and Sora is smiling as he chews.]
I'm glad you like it, Tifa!
[It's just so good to be able to start this adventure off right. Having a chance to make new friends and make good in this world too? Sora's looking forward to all of it...]
