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!))

Greetings

[When Kairi first pitched the idea of a slumber party, Forrest had expected a somewhat intimate gathering with a few friends. Almost before he realized, it had ballooned into a full blown party - not that he minds, of course. Still, he needs to be a good host, so he makes sure to greet everyone personally and spends a fair bit of his time during the party making sure they're all having a good time.]

Hello! Thank you for coming! Is there anything I can get for you?

[He'll spend a little extra time with people he hasn't met face to face yet, making sure to introduce himself.]

Food

[Forrest is a somewhat accomplished cook, and while there's the standard snack food fare - potato chips, soda, candy, and the like - he's also taken it upon himself to prepare some other food ahead of time. There are cabbage rolls, bite sized sandwiches, and even some sushi for actual meals, and various berry puddings and tarts for dessert.]

Here! Have some, won't you?

Makeovers

[And of course, since it's a Forrest party, it just wouldn't be complete without makeovers. He's got all of his supplies out for the occasion - makeup, skin cream, nail polish, and all manner of hair care products. There's a little station set up out of the way of general room traffic, and he'll gladly make anyone who's interested look absolutely fabulous.]

So, what would you like? A skin treatment? A new hairstyle? Manicure? Pedicure?

[He giggles happily as he waves a hand at the various things he has on offer. Sewing may be Forrest's first love, but beauty treatments come in a very strong second. He's totally in his element here.]

Wildcard

[Want to do something else with Forrest? Tag here!]

Wildcard + Makeoverish

[Leo joins his son at the makeover station, setting down a glass of juice for his son]

You look thirsty.

[He brushes his hair from his eyes, making a note to get a haircut soon. His curls are showing, dammit]

[clothes_make_the_man]

Oh! Thank you, father.

[Forrest smiles, taking the juice gratefully and taking a small sip.]

...You look like you could use a haircut.

[The smile widens just a touch.]

Greetings!

[latentforlife]

Hello! No, I'm okay. I was looking for Forrest actually.

[Shuusei had taken up the invite. Something about actually having social gatherings appealed to him. He wasn't sure who this god was but he anted to show some appreciation.]

[clothes_make_the_man]

Ah! Well, in that case, you've found him.

[Forrest smiles, looking for all the world like a teenage girl in his elegant curls and pink nightgown.]

Greetings

[timeshields]

[Homura doesn't know most of the people in the Far Shore- because she's reclusive. She agreed to this because she said she was going to try to better herself.

Not entirely if this counts, but here she is.]

... I'm alright. Are you the host?

[clothes_make_the_man]

Yes, that's right. My name is Forrest. It's nice to meet you.

[He briefly and politely bows his head, smiling.]

Food

[noli_oblivisci]

Thanks! It all looks great, really.

[Psyche was on 'break' at the moment (or at least, that's what she tried telling herself when she finally went to go check out the snacks). She picked up a sandwich, glancing around at the busy hall for a moment, before adding]

I'm kinda surprised how many people showed up.

[clothes_make_the_man]

We have Kairi to thank for that.

[He doesn't seem to mind at all, though, from the tone of his voice and the smile on his face.]

I didn't know she had so many friends! It's nice for so many people to be able to come together and relax, though.

Greetings

[savemeomi]

Ah? Hi~

[ She had no idea who owned the temple, but Ouka isn't one to turn down an invitation to a party. She's assuming, though, that this may be the host. ]

Are you... erm... [ .... What was the name of the host again....? ] the host of this party?

[clothes_make_the_man]

Yes, that's right.

[Forrest smiles happily, always pleased to meet someone new.]

My name is Forrest. Welcome to Lakshmi's temple.

[ Hibiki had introduced herself to the host previously, but briefly. She had also, on a separate occasion, attempted to escape. It had not gone well.

Left with no recompense but to wait until her captors relaxed their guard and/or everyone passes out from exhaustion, then, she's lounging in a corner taking everything in. Her eyes keep being drawn to their host, however. Who is very good at hosting this salon. And whose deçor suits her tastes.

She watches as Forrest begins giving his friends makeovers. She watches him style hair. She watches him paint nails. She especially watches him handle the makeup. Her eyes, beneath their already-three-inch-long eyelashes, narrow in thought.

Then, languidly, she stands and makes her way over. ] It can't be helped.

[ Someone was already getting ready to sit down, but she slides in the way and sits down instead. ] An artist's talents can't be measured when they use mediocre tools. I'll provide a canvas worthy of your talents.

[ She props her head up on her hand, elbow in turn resting on the table. ] Don't befoul it.

[clothes_make_the_man]

[Forrest seems somewhat surprised and confused when Hibiki suddenly sits down in front of him. He spares a momentary glance at the person he was about to work on before looking back to her, blinking a bit at the colorful turn of phrase before nodding.]

...I'll do my best, then.

Greetings

[plight_of_the_navigator]

[Nami's never met the host of the sleepover before, but she knows how to take a social cue, and makes an educated guess based on what's said to her here. She beams excitedly.]

This is a great party! I love all of the beauty products set out. Is it your temple?

[clothes_make_the_man]

That's right. My name is Forrest, and I'm substituting for the goddess Lakshmi.

[It's easy to see why the gods would have picked Forrest for the job, too. He may be a boy, but he's every bit a picture of beauty.]

Would you like a beauty treatment?

Makeovers

[thirdbeauty]

[Natsuru recognizes Forrest from Sheryl's spa trip, although she never actually spoke to him then. She'd assumed he was a woman at the time, actually, and even now it's strange to think that the person in blonde curls and a frilly pink nightgown and offering beauty treatments of all kinds is actually a guy.

He seems happy about it, though, so there's no reason to make a big deal out of it. She just smiles, looking a bit overwhelmed.]

Um, they all sound nice! I don't know what to pick.

[She usually takes good care of her skin, and occasionally indulges with her nails, but she doesn't do much with her hair. She'd let it down to its full length, almost past her hips, today, and tied it into a loose ponytail. But that's it.]

You really seem to know what you're doing...

[She's kind of jealous! She's still working on learning all the ins and outs of cosmetics.]

[clothes_make_the_man]

I'd be happy to do any or all of them for you. I enjoy it almost as much as making and designing clothing.

[Forrest smiles brightly, his eyes eventually traveling to Natsuru's hair.]

I could braid your hair for you if you'd like. It's so long and luxirious!

[oathkeeper]

[Nothing attracts Sora quite like good food does. As soon as he spots Forrest and the food he comes over and throws his arms around Forrest in a happy hug.]

Forrest!! Did you make all of this?

[He lets go to pick up a bite sized sandwich and noms into it. Delicious!]

[clothes_make_the_man]

Hello, Sora! It's wonderful to see you.

[He laughs, eagerly returning the hug.]

Yes, I made it all myself. I'm worried there won't be enough for all the people that showed up, though.

Food

[nopixiedust]

Huh-?

[Wendy had just been looking at all the food, but the sudden offer of sushi has her start.]

Oh, well... I guess. What is it?

[Does she use a fork or...?]

Re: Food

[clothes_make_the_man]

It's all finger food, don't worry.

[Forrest smiles, gesturing for her to take one if she wants.]

Sushi is raw fish wrapped in sticky rice.

Greettings

[birdstheword]

[Hajime is all set to party from the get go. cute pajamas, check. Yuto and Davesprite, check. And a huge gathering a friends--big check. Now that just left finding the host.

She blinks and looks over to Forrest. She hadn't met him face to face before but she regonized his voice well enough from the BBS. Besides, if it wasn't Kairi thanking her for coming it had to be him! And oh no! He's super mega cute! He sort of reminds her of Rui for a split second. But only for a second before Hajime is already in action. She instantly perks up as she bounces and leaps to him. Her arms spread wide before she tries to give him a flying hug.]

Fooooooorresttttt-san! Hello hello! Uwahh~! I'm so happy to finally meet you. This is the perfect way to, too! You're even cuter in person! It's nice to meet-meet you! I'm Hajime!

[clothes_make_the_man]

[Forrest, not having expected the hug at all, is summarily bowled over into a pile of pillows. She's shocked at first, but Hajime's attitude is infectious, and he's quickly laughing along with her as he sits back up.]

Ah...! Hello, Hajime! It's nice to meet you too. I'm glad you could make it.

Makeovers~

[justclaws]

[It occurs to Kija that the last time he attempted to follow the Princess somewhere that was decidedly women-only, his attempts at blending in had possibly been somewhat... lacking. It is an idea that troubles him, because what if something like that were to come up again? From the state she and Yoon had been in when they returned, he would hardly wish to leave them entirely alone again. What kind of a guardian would he be, if he were to allow that again?

[He will simply have to do better next time.

[The end result is that he is, openly and entirely calmly, surveying Forrest's cosmetics in frank curiosity. What on earth are all these things for and, more to the point, how does one go about working them?]

Does it take a long time to learn these things?

Makeovers

[smilingbullet]

A manicure is the nails and a pedicure is...what's a pedicure?

[ Suffice to say, he doesn't know a thing about this stuff. He must have not found it very important while he was alive, because he thinks he's from a modern type of world. ]
