Sleepover!

[clothes_make_the_man]

Who: Forrest, all of his teenage CR, and CR of that CR
What: Giant sleepover log
When: The night of June 21
Where: Lakshmi's temple
Warnings: Cuteness overload

[Forrest has never had a sleepover before, so he's pretty excited to host one at his temple. He sends out invitations ahead of time to everyone he can think of, letting them know to bring pajamas, snacks, and even a friend or two if they want. He's clad in a frilly pink nightgown with ribbons and bows for the occasion, and he's temporarily converted Lakshmi's audience chamber into a space where the guests can all party and sleep. It was already mostly full of pillows to begin with, so all he had to do was move some more in and set up some tables for snacks and things. One of the tables conspicuously contains all of his beauty supplies, because like hell is Forrest hosting a slumber party without makeovers. Anyone who shows even the slightest bit of interest will get their makeup, hair, or nails done. Soft music and the scent of lotus blossoms drift through the air, creating the perfect atmosphere for everyone to relax and enjoy themselves.]

((OOC: If you've got a teenager that Forrest has talked to more than once, assume he invited them. Friends of friends are totally welcome as well. Everyone can feel free to put up their own toplevels, and everybody tag everybody and mingle to your heart's content!))

[He wouldn't deny it.]

You're part of the-[he does not look happy]-the family. So you better stick around.

[priforprince]

I don't recall ever signing on with such a farce.

[ She's keeping her voice down for now. But. That can change. Up to you. ]

[missingache]

Too bad. You're Apollo and I'm Artemis. We're automatically family, even if I don't like it either.

[He's going to remain at a steady tone. For now.]

[priforprince]

We're nothing.

[ Wait, why is this what they're arguing about? Hibiki sighs. ]

Why would you insist I remain, anyway? This isn't a.....

[ can she say it? She tries. ] F...

[ aaaaaamily....

...is not coming out. Okay. ] ...unction limited to Preeks.

[missingache]

Sora wants you here. Which means that you're staying here.

[Uhm...] Preeks?

[priforprince]

[ HOW ARE YOU SO

Hibiki waves a hand. ] Apollo, Artemis. The remainder of the pantheon. You share quite a lot with that Sora.

[ She knows you told about the sentence ender. ]

[missingache]

That's because we're dating.

[Roxas puffs up a bit.] And I know that! But you're in the Greek pantheon, so that means you're stuck with us... except I don't know all of the Greek ones... I know there's Axel, Lara, you, me Izuku... those are the only ones I've talked to. And they're all family!

[priforprince]

Lara Croft is related to you?!

[ Isn't that the -

Ugh. ] ...It figures that a gaggle of busybodies would flock together. Like cackling geese, good only for cluttering others' lawns. A swan has no place in such a gathering.

[ She tries to step around him again. ] I'm leaving.

[missingache]

She's Athena. She's the sister to Artemis and Apollo, but we're more like cousins?

[How are they all busybodies?] .... geese cackle? And aren't they related to swans?

[He summons a Keyblade to block her way.]

No you're not!

1/2

[priforprince]

You cannot impede me!

[ Is this a challenge?! To a duel?! Hibiki doesn't have a sword right now, so she takes up the nearest weapon she can find!! ]

2/2

[priforprince]

[ Which - because of their surroundings - is a pillow. The only thing around close enough to grab are pillows.

Hibiki is standing here staring at the pillow in her hand, first as if she doesn't have any idea how it got there, and then like she might blow a gasket any minute. Pressure is definitely building inside her head as she glares at it. ]

[missingache]

[........

Roxas summons his second Keyblad.]

You sure you wanna try this?

[priforprince]

[ ......Hibiki only looks sure of how incredibly difficult keeping her temper is right now. She raises the pillow.

Then slams it onto the ground next to her and crosses her arms. ] Only unsightly boors resort to coercion.

[ First you're a goose. Now you're a boar.

Maybe.

That pillow is still close enough to grab if need be. ]

[missingache]

[Very unimpressed.]

You're as annoying as a badger.

[Rooting around, being mean, and causing trouble.]

[priforprince]

[ Wait, how did -

Hibiki isn't about to cop to not knowing where symbolic language came from, though. ] Hmph.

[ Blast. Now they're at a standstill. As long as Roxas has weapons, he has the advantage over her. She could always summon Pureki....

But Pureki likes hugs.

This requires deliberation. ]

[missingache]

[Hibiki, you're not the worst he's dealt with.

Roxas nudges her gently in the arm with a Kayblade.]

Get back to the party.

[priforprince]

[ Hibiki turns her back on Roxas. She doesn't seem inclined to budge from this spot.

But she's also not trying to leave the party any more, or summoning her shinki. Venus, you see, would probably want to stay.

Venus would probably make Hibiki stay. And then Hibiki would be here with Venus.

So she's supposing things can always be worse. ]

[missingache]

[Hibiki, he will summon his ghost doggies to harass you into staying.]

If you try and leave, I'll say 'that' again.

[Roxas will nya you into submission.]

[priforprince]

"That"....

[ There is a visible shudder. Hibiki looks over her shoulder to be sure Roxas is serious.

Yup. He is.

She snorts, tossing her head. Fine. But Just So You Know, her body language screams that she is here Under Coercion and you should Be Ashamed Of Yourself. ] Departing prematurely would be a slight to the host, I suppose.

[missingache]

[Roxas is hardly ever ashamed of himself. At least around people who aren't his family here.]

Yeah, don't upset Forrest! He's like a brother to me.

[priforprince]

Your definition of "family" is terribly broad-minded.

[ Is there tea here? There are snack-like refreshments.

Is there tea? ]

[missingache]

"Family is what you make it," and I make mine with people who I can trust.

[So shut it, Miss Anti-Family.

And yes. There's always tea.]

[priforprince]

[ TEA she doesn't get her hopes up, that would be silly, Hibiki's Tea Standards are even higher than her standards for everything else (if that's possible), and yet, she also is deeply in need of a high qualitea exptearience right now. So she picks up a cup and inhales the scent wafting from it as an expteariment.

The fragrance passes muster. Holding the saucer with one hand, she lifts the cup with the other. ] A laughable concept.

[ So she does smirk at it. Trust. Hah. That thing she still can't do. And that she thinks you're a fool for bestowing so easily.

Up goes the cup for the first atteampt. ]

[missingache]

[Good. She was staying. Roxas can dismiss his Keyblades for now, and perks up when he sees the tea. So he comes right over and takes a cup. After sipping it, he frowns.]

I've got way better tea at home...

[No offense, Forrest. He's just super picky about tea.]

[priforprince]

[ What, now he's pretending he knows about tea? Is that some attempt to ingratiate himself with her? Hibiki sniffs and turns away to enjoy her own cup.

....and he has a point. This isn't completely unpalatable, but it's not, well, Ando's. She drinks a little more deeply to prove she isn't going to take the bait, though. It'll take more than that if he thinks he can get along with Hibiki!

Family. Just because they were assigned sibling gods. What poppycock. They don't even have anything in common.

NOT A SINGLE THING. ]
