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!))

It's nice to meet you, Yukine.

[Forrest nods, smiling as he sets the snack tray to the side.]

I think I've seen you on the network once or twice, but it's nice to have a face to go with the name.

[Nibbling down a pretzel as the other guy speaks, he nods in return then shrugs at the end.]

I haven’t been around the BBS much lately, but most of what everyone else posts is [junk] noise anyway.

So, you are…?

[clothes_make_the_man]

Forrest. The current substitute for the goddess Lakshmi. It's a pleasure to meet you, Yukine.

[He bows his head politely.]

[returnedfromtheline]

[Yukine's eyes widen in surprise for a moment.
Oh! This is the host? He bows his head slightly.]

Nice to meet you too, Forrest-sama. Thank you for the party.

[clothes_make_the_man]

[Forrest smiles, shaking his head and waving a hand.]

Just Forrest is fine. And you're quite welcome. I hope you're having a good time.

[returnedfromtheline]

[If he says so. He's getting used to the new gods saying that.
He nods at the question.]

Mm. It's been fine so far, thank you.

[Just. Awkward (for the socially inexperienced).]

[clothes_make_the_man]

I'm glad to hear it. If there's anything you need, please let me know. I want to make sure everyone enjoys themselves.

[returnedfromtheline]

Thanks.

[Yukine has a small impulse to ask for something really ridiculous, but stifles it.]

I guess I should say the same. If you have any questions about stuff, especially about shinki stuff, I'll help you out.

[clothes_make_the_man]

[Depending on how ridiculous, Forrest would have gladly complied. He likes to be polite to his guests.]

In that case, you might want to introduce yourself to my shinki, Psyche. She's been working on learning some spells lately, I think.

[returnedfromtheline]

[Then please bring the biggest ice cream sundae you can muster~ XD]

[Yukine is a little surprised to hear that. (Being himself not entirely in favour of teaching the new shinki spells.)]

Really? I wonder if Kazuma-san is teaching her.... But yes, I’ll try to meet her, then.

[clothes_make_the_man]

[He's better at pudding, but he would try!]

I'm not sure. I think she's been trying to work them out on her own. But I'm sure she'd appreciate the help.

[returnedfromtheline]

On her own? Geh, that’s just stupid. [And remembering who he is talking to he winces slightly.] I mean, rough.

Anyway, if you see her, would you point her in my direction? I’m pretty easy to find. [He makes a slight gesture towards his collar - his name is visible, after all.] Unless she has something I can find her by?

[clothes_make_the_man]

I'll be sure to let her know. If you're looking for her, she's got long red hair and her shinki name is on her hand.

[returnedfromtheline]

Oh? What’s her shinki name? [Now is as good a time as any to find out. The more names he finds out the better.]

[clothes_make_the_man]

It's Hyouki.

[Poor Forrest has no idea there's an alternative motive at work here.]

[returnedfromtheline]

[Hopefully Yukine will never have reason to use the names he collects.]

Thanks. I’m studying kanji, so with that much, I’m sure I can find her.
And I guess seeing as I’m not staying long, I should do that now.
