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!))

Why? And who did she marry?

[He knows how to aggravate and occupy his father very well.]

[clothes_make_the_man]

Lord Ryoma.

[Just waiting for this reaction.]

[brynwieldr]

[Dot dot dot]

I'm sorry. Did you say Lord Ryoma?

[clothes_make_the_man]

That's right. And Xander actually married Princess Hinoka. After the war, it was decided that intermarrying the two royal families would be good for future relations and healing the rift caused between the two countries.

[Please don't have a heart attack dad.]

[brynwieldr]

[No heart attacks, but Leo is just confounded by this information]

And I didn't marry Sakura and have you....

[Oh gods]

Did Takumi marry Elise?

[clothes_make_the_man]

No, Sakura married another onmyoji from Hoshido.

[He doesn't mind tossing that one out for free.]

...They're actually a rather cute couple, if you can believe it.

[Please don't kill Takumi dad.]

[brynwieldr]

[Leo just stares at his son for a moment before digging out his cell phone]

Excuse me, I have to tell Takumi this.

[Because what the hell. As he's texting his best friend:]

...now I have to know. Who's your mother?

[clothes_make_the_man]

Are you sure you're ready to hear that, after all of this?

[Forrest's actually wondering if Leo will even believe him.]

[brynwieldr]

You just told me my best friend married and had a son with my youngest sister. Who still has tea parties. I'm fairly certain you could tell me I created you from magic and I would believe you.

[clothes_make_the_man]

All right, then.

[Forrest can't help but smile a little at the lead-up.]

My mother's name is Charlotte.

[brynwieldr]

....the woman who runs around in literal breast plate and pretends to be delicate despite being able to throw a grown man?

[clothes_make_the_man]

The very same.

[brynwieldr]

I can't say I ever considered her a possible wife...but then again, I've never considered Sakura one either, and apparently I married her as far as Takumi is concerned.

[Charlotte. Huh.]

Is she a good mother?

[clothes_make_the_man]

Politics makes for strange bedfellows, I suppose.

[Forrest seems happy enough with it, at least.]

Oh, yes! She's always been very kind and supportive. There's never been any doubt in my mind that she genuinely loves us both.

[brynwieldr]

I suppose. But as long as she is good to you, that's all I personally care about.

[clothes_make_the_man]

You have nothing to worry about, then.
