[It's cold. For one who does not like the cold very much, they can be pretty miserable. Luke walks through the village, coat unzipped but crossed over his chest and stomach, with a rather irritated look on his face. Dammit. If Guy were here he'd probably frown at him and zip up his coat before talking to him more...

He glares up at the sky and the little flakes of snow falling from it. He has his journal with him, so he slides it out of his pocket and opens it idly, turning on the video option as he keeps staring up at the sky.]

Damn, this is annoying... It feels like we barely even had fall. [He looks down at the journal now.] Does it ever seem like time's passing by really fast for everyone else?

[And thanks to him holding the journal, his coat's flapped open again. If Xion saw him, she'd definitely zip up...]

Oh...

[With that realization and idea in mind, Luke hurries over to get by a wall, as if that'll help him plan things with everyone else. Then, after some work, he gets some filters ready.]

[Filtered from Xion // 100%]] ... [Filtered from Van and Vanitas // 100%]

A lot of people here know Xion, right? Well, um...

[He remembers Flynn, and how he talked about making Rapunzel's dream come true... Why can't he be as smooth as he was while doing that? There's a little blush on his face and everything... GAH. He'll just clear his throat and keep going. He's already started, so why not?]

Her birthday's coming up on the twentieth. Last time there was a surprise party for her, and I was thinking... Maybe we could do that again this year? Or something like that. October's been a pretty bad month for her. Things are getting better, but... I think she could still use something like the people who care about her celebrating her birthday.

[The fact that she was born... created. The fact that she's alive now...]

So we could hold it... somewhere. And maybe... sometime before sunset. ... I don't really know how to do any of this stuff.

[Definitely not Flynn-worthy. Guh.]

((ooc: I know his last post is being backlogged to all hell, but I'll get tagging that one too. This one was just important to get out like right now. |D

Even if I wasn't here, you think Xion would be any less than ecstatic with you throwing her a surprise party? [He's not saying his appearance will go unnoticed. Just that--]

It's the sentiment she'll care about, not how much you surprise her. Because she loves you.



[... Yeah. Father-in-law doesn't mince words.]

[... Oh.







ffffffffffffffffffffffffffff. That... Well. He can't help turning away with a bright blush on his face.]

I... I know that. [Mostly. Sorta. Kinda. He's really not sure about the fact that Sanji not being there would make her as happy as he wants her to be. There were times, these past two months, where she'd cry over something he'd do, because it reminded her of her dad...]

I guess I just... really want to make this special. And this is the first time I've ever done anything like this, so... getting all this help means a lot. Especially from you.

Sure, sure. [Sanji graciously doesn't draw attention to that flaming face.]

It'll be fine. We'll all chip in.

[Luke appreciates that, seeing how just pointing it out would make him even more flustered and embarrassed.

Just give him a minute - okay. Okay, the blush is starting to wear off after thinking of other things, so he chances looking at the journal again.]

... Thanks. Is there anything else I need to do? Besides... you know, writing down who all's coming?

When you're finished with the list, give it to me. I'll use it to make sure there's enough food for everyone. [And then some. Because god, if his captain comes along...]

And you might wanna think of things for everyone to do during the party.

Everyone to... do? Like... games and stuff?

[filtered]

[odastillhatesme.livejournal.com]

Something like that. We could always stand around and mingle, but it'll help having a back-up plan.

Oh... [There's a slight pause as Luke thinks about other parties he's been to. Which... isn't much at all. And all the gatherings he went to at home were mostly political in nature, where they met and discussed what to do and that was it.]

What kind of games do people have at a party?
