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!))

[I'm gonna be a mighty king that no king was before~

Despite the light throw Sora pretends it winds him and he wheezes dramatically.]

I am! And how dare you attack your king!

[He grins and whomps Yuto again.]

[darkduelist]

And since when are you my king?

[This time Yuto avoids getting hit and even smiles a tiny bit.

Well, dear king, you have attacked the dragon of darkness. Now face his wrath!

Yuto grabs the nearest pillow and throws it at Sora, this time with more force.]

[oathkeeper]

Since I inherited this land--

[He doesn’t have enough time to finish as Yuto’s attack hits him with more force. He yelps dramatically before he looks ready to pounce.]

I’ll show you!!

[And with a playful grin he leaps at Yuto, his pillow flailing like mad. Prepare to get whomped three times!]

[darkduelist]

[He raises his arm up to shield himself from the attack, then Yuto attempts to grab both of Sora's wrists. It's not like he'll allow the other to attack him again.]

Maybe you should just give up.

[oathkeeper]

[When he's grabbed Sora does stop only because it doesn't seem like Yuto wants to play this game. So he pouts and then settles down.]

Aww, come on, Yuto! You don't like pillow fights?

[darkduelist]

[Yuto lets go of him and thinks about this for a moment.]

This is probably the first pillow fight I ever had... Or at least I think so, because I don't remember for sure.

[He's a shinki, after all.

He backs away and grabs the nearest pillow, staring down at it.]

[oathkeeper]

[Sora holds his pillow to his chest and squeezes it like a teddy bear.]

I don't think you really need to remember, it's just harmless fun! Battering each other with pillows just because!

[Sora... Not everyone will think that's fun, you weirdo.]

[darkduelist]

It's fun as long as you're not overdoing it.

[Even though pillows are soft, getting hit with it multiple times is not fun.]

[oathkeeper]

[It would be to Sora, but he likes to rough house.

He tilts his head, curious.]

Hey, Yuto? Have you ever tried learning how to fight with a weapon? Like a sword or something?

[darkduelist]

[Yuto shakes his head.]

No, never.

[But he has a pretty strong punch... Not like he realizes that.]

[oathkeeper]

[Sora visibly brightens with curiosity.]

Ever care to try?

[darkduelist]

Why are you asking?

[He pauses, then asks another question:]

Do you want to teach me?

[oathkeeper]

[He blushes a little in embarrassment.]

I dunno, maybe! If you want to? I'm not really the greatest at teaching but it might be kinda fun?

[He grins.]

Then we get to fight with wooden swords instead of pillows!

[darkduelist]

And fighting with wooden swords is better than pillows?

[You can actually hurt someone with a wooden sword.]

...But maybe I should learn something like that.

[To protect others even when he's not in his dragon form.]

[oathkeeper]

Yeah, loads better.

[Sora is gentle when he tries to teach people things. But in a real spar...

Let's just say Sora's not always a cinnamon roll.]

Really?! [He lights up with excitement.] That's great! I think you'll be really good at it, Yuto!

[darkduelist]

And why it's better?

[At the other part he pauses and thinks about it for a moment.]

You think so? Well, we'll see.

[oathkeeper]

Because it takes a lot more skill and coordination! ... Sorta like... Dancing!

[Not really, but there you have it.]

[darkduelist]

Like dancing... [He repeats that as if uncertain if fighting has anything in common with dancing, but then he nods.] Well, I know what you're trying to say.

[Or at least he thinks so.]

[oathkeeper]

Great! [Sora pats Yuto on the shoulder.] It's a deal then. I'll try and teach you! It'll be nice to have someone to practice with.

[darkduelist]

[He nods again.]

Alright. But when do you want to start teaching me?

[oathkeeper]

[Sora scratches his cheek.]

How about in July? We can use my temple too unless Hajime's would be better for you? We'll also need to get you a wooden sword to practice with. And a real one.

[darkduelist]

In July then. Your place sounds good to me and we can talk about details later.

[He takes a look around.]

...I'm guessing you're already friends with everyone here.

[oathkeeper]

[Sora nods. And the plans are set.]

Almost everyone! Kairi invited a lot of her new friends, so I'm still making my way around to say hello.

[darkduelist]

[Okay, he didn't actually expect that answer, but he feels he shouldn't even be surprised. And now he really has to ask.]

...Is there at least one person out there that you don't consider a friend?

[oathkeeper]

Hmm? [Sora tilts his head and then takes a quick second to glance around the room.]

Well there's some people here I don't know yet? Kairi and Forrest have some friends I don't know.

[But he wouldn't really consider them not-friends? Just acquaintances!]
