Sleepover!

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!))

Are they my age?

[ Yata is still looking flustered from the hug and is grateful for the quick change in subject as he glances around the room, rubbing at the back of his neck. ]

They all look way younger.

I wasn't gonna come, but my god is here. [ That's reason enough, right? ]
pure_radiantics: (convo] huh?)

[personal profile] pure_radiantics 2017-03-12 07:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh? We're both about 16 I thought.

[If he even knows his birthdate, she'll be super surprised.]

Your god's here? Did Forrest invite him? I'll have to introduce myself...

Sixteen? [ He echoes that a little incredulously. And maybe a hint insulted. ] No way! I'm... [ he trails off, because he.... doesn't actually know the answer to that, now that he stops to think about it. ] ...definitely older than that.

[ Smooth. ]

[ At her comment, Yata gives a strangled sort of laugh and points across the room to where Nami is sitting and laughing with someone he doesn't recognize. ]
She. Nami's over there.
pure_radiantics: (convo] bright laughter)

[personal profile] pure_radiantics 2017-03-18 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! Nami!

[Kairi is pleasantly surprised to learn this! A bright smile crosses her face, the age discussion temporarily forgotten.]

I know her pretty well! You're lucky, she's so nice isn't she?

[And she won't let slip how scared Nami is of spiders just yet. It was probably pretty embarrassing.]

Anyway, I was just guessing - 13 through 21 kind of guessing. I mean, you're probably closer to my age than Nami is, but it's okay.

[personal profile] thevanguard 2017-03-18 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
You know her? [ He looks surprised. Although maybe he shouldn't be. Kairi seemed the sort to go up and talk to anyone. She was here doing it to him, after all. ] Yeah, I guess she is?

[ Yata's version of a glowing compliment, really.

He squints at her estimation, rubbing absently at the back of his neck. ]
I think I'm on the older end of that range. I mean. I don't remember what my birthday was, or when, but I... feel older than that? [ He's not even sure that makes sense, and his expression is puzzled, but he's not sure how else to put it into words. ]
pure_radiantics: (convo] mild surprise)

[personal profile] pure_radiantics 2017-03-19 02:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Yep - we met at the beach party and explored an abandoned temple together.

[Kairi nods in understanding. If he hadn't said 'older end of that range' she might have thought his 'older than that' comment meant he felt older than 21.]

You know it's that way with all shinki though, right? That's why I didn't ask anyone before inviting them. Saying "only teenagers" for who I was supposed to invite around shinki doesn't really work.

[She tries to reach out with one hand to touch his shoulder.]

It's okay. You can enjoy yourself anyway.

I'm not sure there's all that much for me here to do.

[ He points this out rather bluntly, waving a hand to indicate the room in general before crossing his arms over his chest once more and averting his gaze. ]

It's fine. I mostly just came to watch over my god tonight anyway.
pure_radiantics: (convo] flat smile)

[personal profile] pure_radiantics 2017-03-22 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
Well... let's find something!

[Yes she's determined.]

Do you like snacks? We could go to the kitchen and make some more together?

[personal profile] thevanguard 2017-03-22 05:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Dammit, Kairi.

He just blinks at her a moment. ]


Make snacks? Don't you want to... I don't know. Do girl things?

[ Because there's a lot of that happening here tonight. Just don't ask him what those things happen to be, because he still has no clue. ]
pure_radiantics: (moves] as for myself)

[personal profile] pure_radiantics 2017-03-24 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
[She takes on a slight scolding tone for this.]

There are boys here playing with the hair and makeup stuff too. But you still don't have to if you don't want to. That said, I offered to make snacks because I thought it was something you'd prefer instead of hair and makeup, which I still understand not liking, because I don't spend half as much time on hair in the morning as Forrest does-

[She gestures to their host.]

And he has twice as much hair as I do. Plus I don't do makeup except on special occasions.

[ Yata turns and... blinks in confusion at their host. ]

...That's a he?!

[ ....Well then. He wouldn't have guessed that one. ]

Alright fine, let's go make snacks then.
pure_radiantics: (convo] excuse you!)

[personal profile] pure_radiantics 2017-03-29 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Well that gets a smack across his shoulder.]

Don't be rude, Misaki!

[If he hadn't said 'that' he wouldn't have gotten the smack.]

Now... what kind of snacks do you like?

[She says walking off to the kitchen because by this point she does know where it is.]

[personal profile] thevanguard 2017-03-29 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Ow! Hey! What was that for?

[ he rubs his shoulder, even though it hadn't really hurt. It was more for the blow than anything else as he gives her a confused look. He's really dumb, Kairi, he sticks his foot in it all the time. And he has no idea what was rude about what he just said. ]
pure_radiantics: (convo] not again!)

[personal profile] pure_radiantics 2017-04-01 05:44 am (UTC)(link)
You called my friend 'that' like a thing instead of a person!

[ He asked. ]

And he's the host of the party too!
thevanguard: Manga Attitude Confused (076)

[personal profile] thevanguard 2017-04-02 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Yata blinks, still confused. ]

Eh? I didn't mean it like that. I just didn't know he was a he! He's still a person. or a god, I guess. They can do whatever they want, right? It doesn't matter to me.

[ He's just really bad at words, is all. ]
pure_radiantics: (convo] gesturing talk)

Wrapping up?

[personal profile] pure_radiantics 2017-04-06 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
The gods used to be people just like us. The new gods, anyway. For all you know he's always liked dressing that way.

[She's trying to take a larger lesson away from the misunderstanding though.]

So you don't have to treat them like they can 'do whatever they want'. A shinki could dress that way too and it'd be fine.

[She gestures to the kitchen anyway.]

Come on, I'll teach you how to make Trail Mix. It's sweet and salty and really good.
thevanguard: Confused (037)

[personal profile] thevanguard 2017-04-06 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
If you say so. [ Personally, he still suspected the gods were pretty different from them - in any life. He didn't know what he had to base that one it was just... a feeling. Some sort of certainty he'd had ever since waking up here. He tries not to think about it too hard. ]

He can dress however he wants, if that's what he likes. I was just surprised, is all. Is it a big deal, what he wants to wear? [ Yata gives her a baffled look. Personally he thought anything with that many layers and ruffles was a little much, but he'd think the same thing if it was a girl wearing it, so...?

He just shrugs and follows her towards the kitchen. ]
Yeah, alright. I can probably handle trailmix. That sounds easy enough.
