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 dunno. Because she'd think it's hilarious, probably.

[ Not that he sounds like he at all believes that, his tone dry as he rolls his eyes. ]

How should I know? Maybe it's her secret god-power or something.

[lostinshadows]

[A chuckle.]

If it gets you this flustered, then I can see why.

[Fortunately, his own goddess likes to cover herself up, but that's more for safety reasons really.]

Besides, if she's comfortable dressed that way, then you should leave it alone.

[thevanguard]

[ Yata narrows his gaze at the guy, confused and suspicious. ]

What does that have to do with anything? [ He doesn't get it. At all. ]

How can that be comfortable? She looks cold. [ Or so he keeps telling her, each time he's 'subtly' draped his hoodie around her or something this past week. ]

[lostinshadows]

[Yata, surely you can't be that dense.]

But is she cold? [Lavi tilts his head to the side.

He's never seen Nami before, but judging from Yata's reaction, he doesn't need to.] People find comfort in different ways, so. [A shrug.]

[thevanguard]

[ You wanna bet?

Yata just shrugs, because does that matter? ] Wouldn't you be?

Besides, that really doesn't look comfortable. [ Especially not for him. But then again, what does he know about girls clothes?? ]

[lostinshadows]

I'm not her, so who knows.

[But Lavi chuckles.]

Other than the fact that she's under-dressed, why don't you partake in the sleepover?

[thevanguard]

'Partake'? In what? Do I look like I want makeup or my nails painted or my hair braided?

[ He's really not sure what he's supposed to be doing at a sleepover, honestly. ]

When people get to the actual sleeping part, I'll partake then, how's that?

[lostinshadows]

No fun.

[But Lavi shrugs, unaffected.]

But it is a sleepover, so sleep might be the furthest thing from people's minds right now.

[thevanguard]

[ Is it obvious yet that Yata has almost zero experience with sleepovers? Because it should be.

At Lavi's deduction, he just sighs and slumps back into the corner again, looking very put-upon. ]

I was afraid you were gonna say that.

[lostinshadows]

Well, there are pillow fights you can join in on? Just avoid the girls.

[thevanguard]

[ Worst advice. This is how a quarter of the pillows at this thing get slaughtered. Did you need that on your conscience, Lavi? ]

Pillow fights? [ Yata glances around at the mention of fights, even the feathery kind. ] That's a thing?

[lostinshadows]

Yeah.

[Seriously, Yata. How do you not know these things?]

[thevanguard]

[ There's something in the look Lavi gives him that has Yata huffing in irritation. ]

How am I supposed to know? I don't think I've ever been to one of these before!

[lostinshadows]

[There's a light shrug.]

The Internet seems to be handy in these kinds of things.

[He picks up a pillow, though.] Or you can always find a corner and sleep in.

[thevanguard]

[ Something else he hasn't really bothered with too much since getting here. Not that he didn't know it was there, but he was a much more hands-on type of person instead.

Like now...

He eyes the pillow Lavi had picked up before reaching out and snagging it away with a huff. ]

I could.

[ Or he could smirk and thwap the pillow over the other guy's head in a surprise sneak attack. Which is of course the option he chooses instead. ]

[lostinshadows]

[Aaaand he's hit!

It startles a laugh out of Lavi enough to grab another pillow to aim for Yata.]

[thevanguard]

[ But Yata's pressing his advantage now that he has one, aiming another blow to his midsection, intending to dodge if there happens to be a counter-attack. It just so happens he seems to have a knack for fighting up close and personal and occasionally dirty. ]

[lostinshadows]

[Lavi is quick to retaliate, ducking once and hitting Yata in the head.]

[thevanguard]

[ It's actually a pretty solid blow (for a pillow) and Yata gives a bark of laughter as he momentarily staggers to the side, half in mock injury at the attack. But it's more a feint than anything, his next blow slinging the pillow in a blow to the back of the other guy's knees with the intent of unbalancing him. ]

[lostinshadows]

[Some instinct kicks in that prevents Lavi from getting hit in the back of his knees. But he grins all the same and aims another attack at Yata.]

[thevanguard]

[ He blocks it, countering, then follows it up with another quick jab of the pillow at the guy's midsection. The movements come easy - naturally, almost, although he doesn't really stop to think about that at the moment. Or why. It's not important when he's got a battle to win! ]

[lostinshadows]

[He's hit!

But Lavi doesn't stagger — maybe a little — before he hits Yata on the side with the pillow.]

[thevanguard]

[ He rolls into it, attempting to capture the pillow under his arm when Lavi smacks him with it.

Because hey, disarming your opponent and dual-wielding pillows seems like an awesome strategy right now! ]

[lostinshadows]

[Lavi will let that happen, but don't expect anything good to come out of it.

Because he'll take that moment to tackle Yata down into some pillows.]

[thevanguard]

Ack!

[ He's not expecting the sudden tackle, although maybe he should have been. Still, he's laughing as he goes down, thwapping the other guy over the head with his stolen pillow, even if he's grinning at the move. ]

Pretty sure that goes against pillow fighting rules.
