Session 114

Synopsis
==Summary==
Belle, Kiono, and Kiki arrive at the dining room to find it to be magically dark, causing some concern about going inside. After some deliberation, Belle convinces Kiono that it will be alright, and they enter. The guests all shout "surprise" and "happy birthday," startling both Kionos, though Kiki recovers quickly and is excited. 
Kiki is so excited. She is passed from person to person. She realizes that Teer had promised that Kitano would be there for her birthday and asks about him. He appears out of her shadow such that she is on his shoulders. After a thorough inspection, she accepts that this is in fact Kitano and gives him the worms she had gathered and named. He questions whether using named worms for fishing is the right thing to do, and they agree to find some other, better-for-fishing worms at a later date. 
Kitano then goes to Kiono and asks what the plans are for Kiki. She asks him to protect her, as keeping her with them would be dangerous if Enooto found them. He questions this, stating that he intended to return to the village with her. She says that it would be safer this way. He asks for whom, and Kiono badly lies about that it's for Kiki. 
They do presents. 
Belle apologizes to Kiono for the weirdness which ensued trying to get her to come to the party, as she hadn't known about the darkness door thing. Kiono says that it's alright, that the presence of Xelbari automatically increased the chaos of the event by quite a bit. She also comments that she was surprised by the party, having expected the day to be a normal day. 
Teer pulls Ephemera into a separate room to have a private conversation. She offers him some of her ice cream, which he accepts. He gives her a gift, saying that he wants something for her to remember him by when she leaves. It is a wooden music box with her symbol on it which plays a Rick Roll upon opening. She is thankful and promises that she won't forget him. As they leave, Xelbari is standing ominously outside the door, apparently determined to always be present when they are trying to share a private moment together.
Ephemera gives Izora the second tuning form attuned to her plane in case of emergencies. She jokes about how Izora had threatened to turn her into forks if she hurt Kiono, which causes Izora to laugh. Ephemera utterly fails to speak like a normal person and moonwalks away.
Esteem has a neat party trick: he can eat ice cream without getting brain freeze. Kiki immediately learns the hard way what brain freeze is. She curls up on his lap to recover, observing with pride that they are both Chosen. 
Somewhat overwhelmed by everything, Kiono goes into the hallway to cast Selective Silence. On her way back, Concludion finds her. He observes that both of them have changed a lot since leaving the village, and that it would be a good idea to, once everything is over, be intentional about getting to know themselves and then each other. Kiono explains that her plans for her future are unlikely to mesh with his own desires. She also explains that, while he once said that he wanted what his parents had, she could not offer him that. He tells her not to assume she knows what he wants, but accepts that they will need to wait for his suggested reset to figure out what they're doing. They take Kiono's new broom of flying out on a test flight. Upon returning, they find that Teer has overdosed on ice cream. 
Kiono attempts to fling ice cream at Teer, but misses and hits Esteem instead. Esteem gets revenge by sending Kiki over to smear ice cream on Kiono's face. In retaliation, Kiono uses Catapult to launch a sandwich at him. Xelbari decides that a food fight is the perfect idea, and battle lines are drawn. Vidh Zadh, Kitano, and Xelbari side with Kiono, while Teer, Belle, Esteem, and Concludion are on the opposing side. Izora remains neutral, mostly protecting Kiki while the child flings food at whoever she feels like. As Kiono's team is coming to victory, Vidh Zadh finishes casting a powerful spell. He transports all participants barring neutral parties to a demiplane, where he proceeds to rain ice cream down upon everybody, becoming by default the victor of the fight. He returns everyone to the Burnett's dining room, and then casts Greater Prestidigitation to clean the room. 
Belle finds a lost package addressed to Kiono and gives it to her. Kiono, in a good mood, opens the package to find a small crystal sphere. It is clearly magical, so she is hesitant to touch it, but it explodes in her hands. Though physically she is unharmed, her memories of Kitano come flooding back, leaving her in a panicked state, mostly because that's a lot to happen in an instant.
