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!))

[Forrest, literally only you care about it being the exact shade]

A bit shorter than I usually have it, if you would. That will give it more time to grow out before it gets annoying.

[clothes_make_the_man]

[It's totally important! Like the difference between strawberry curls and raspberry curls. Those run in the Hoshidan royal family, though, so that's not an issue here.]

All right. Here, let me get you a blanket so we don't make a mess.

[He can always clean it up with everything else later. Forrest drapes a light blanket over Leo's front, tying it loosely around his neck so the hair has a place to fall.]

[brynwieldr]

[And Leo helps, tilting his head and adjusting the blanket]

Thank you, Forrest. For both the haircut and not minding me accidentally crashing your party.

[clothes_make_the_man]

As long as you don't mind a room full of teenagers, I don't mind you being here.

[Well. Mostly teenagers, anyway. Kairi cast a pretty wide net.]

[brynwieldr]

You're my son. So long as they're not being ridiculous, I don't mind staying for a little while to spend time with you.

[clothes_make_the_man]

Well, I think a certain amount of ridiculousness is expected st a gathering like this, but I understand.

[The party has definitely put him in a good mood, though. There was never time for this sort of thing at home.]

[brynwieldr]

No squealing and absurd party games that involve kissing is all I ask. You're more than old enough to kiss whoever you'd like, but those games are just so ridiculous about it.

[clothes_make_the_man]

If I meet anyone like that, I'll be sure to let you know.

[Though, tellingly, he is blushing a bit.]

[brynwieldr]

[Leo glances over his shoulder, smirking]

Anyone else like that, you mean? You're a lot like Elise, and she'd love that sort of game.

[clothes_make_the_man]

Anyone I felt like kissing, I meant.

[He is at that age.]

[brynwieldr]

Oh no, please introduce me to anyone you feel like kissing.

[He smirks a little]

As your father, I feel it is my duty to meet whoever my son wants to kiss.

[clothes_make_the_man]

Yes, I thought you'd want to know about that sort of thing. I promise I will.

[brynwieldr]

And I promise not to embarrass you, but only because I don't know any good stories to embarrass you with.

[clothes_make_the_man]

I suppose the Deep Realms were good for that much, at least.

[brynwieldr]

I may have to ask Takumi, since he is your uncle in one timeline.

[clothes_make_the_man]

That's true. I'm sure he remembers a thing or two about the adventures his son Kiragi dragged me on.

[brynwieldr]

You need to tell him he has a son. I need to see his face.

[clothes_make_the_man]

Has he not mentioned him? Or is he from another timeline like yours where he didn't have any children?

[brynwieldr]

He didn't have any children, if I recall. I think he's the sort to spoil his nieces and nephews, however. Especially if I am their father.

[clothes_make_the_man]

Well, I promise I won't mention it to him until you're around to see the look on his face, then. You didn't get to see how you looked when you met me for the first time, after all.

[brynwieldr]

I imagine I was confused and slightly put off by the schoolgirl's uniform you were wearing at the time, since you look so much like me.

[clothes_make_the_man]

Yes, that's about right.

[Snip snip as the haircut continues.]

[brynwieldr]

[Leo chuckles softly]

When's your birthday, Forrest?

[clothes_make_the_man]

March 13th. So actually, it had just passed when I first arrived here.

[brynwieldr]

Ah, I hope you wouldn't mind a very belated birthday present, then?
