... I wouldn't know.

[Said more just bummed out than as catty as it could have once been.]

You may like them, but that doesn't mean they'll like me - or everyone else who's going to their party.

[oathkeeper]

Great! You're coming! If anything, for the experience!

[Usagi not liking someone... Sora starts laughing.]

Something tells me Usagi will love you. Rei can be a little serious sometimes but she's really smart and nice too. And Minako is super fun to hang out with!

[boundbynaught]

[He groans.]

... This feels like the Blind Date thing all over again. Did you know I ended up with TWO people then? And I blew it!

[In his mind.]

[oathkeeper]

D-did you?!

[Excuse Sora while he claps his hand over his mouth and tries really hard not to laugh. Oh no, cute. No regrets signing him up for that.]

How'd you blow it?!

[boundbynaught]

They wanted a name, I couldn't tell them!

They wanted to sit around and eat, I didn't recognize the food!

They wanted to talk-- What are you laughing about?! I got called a misfit! And I wasn't even supposed to be there, so I got stuck crashing two other peoples' blanket!

[oathkeeper]

S-sorry! I'm not laughing!

[Sora straightens his face and shakes off the laughter.]

No, it's just nice hearing that you actually tried, you know? Who cares if it didn't go well, who wants to fit in anyway? Fitting out is much better.

[Sora scratches cheek, thinking.] I'm kind of jealous you got two people, honestly.

[boundbynaught]

I tried and screwed up, like usual.

[But the way he says it is much more of a passing thought than his usual bouts of deep inward depression.]

Easy for you to say, fitting out. I just want to be normal if I have to be here at all. Why would you want two people to have to figure out so quickly?

[oathkeeper]

There's nothing wrong with messing up once and a while, no one's perfect. The important thing is you tried.

[He grins.] Okay, I'd get to know a whole room of people if I was given the chance so I don't think I'm the right person for you to ask about that. [He laughs brightly,] I get it, it's tough I'm not gonna push you if you really don't wanna go. But really, the girls are amazing and it'll be fun!

[boundbynaught]

[He sighs.]

Fine, I'll go.

[Darn it Sora.]

[oathkeeper]

[CHECKMATE. WOW IT WORKED.

Sora's grinning like a total idiot right now.]

Great! Bring cupcakes!

[boundbynaught]

[....]

WHAT?

[oathkeeper]

What! What? I'm bringing cookies! ... If I can figure out how to make them without burning Roxas' kitchen down.

Relax! It's nice to bring a gift to a house warming!

[boundbynaught]

Are you saying I need to bake them?

[Snow White is teaching him cooking...]

[oathkeeper]

I mean you could just buy them from a store, but where's the fun in that?

[boundbynaught]

I'm not sure they'll come out right. I'll... try.

[And try not to get so in over his head that he has to ask for Snow White's help.]

[oathkeeper]

[That's the spirit! Sora beams.]

Have fun with it, okay? Then maybe give me some pointers. Because I'm terrible at this.

[boundbynaught]

Yeah, sure, whatever. If I don't burn mine too.
