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!))

[Roxas looks over at Forrest and shrugs. The dogs don't do anything, and one of them yawns to settle down for a nap.]

Sure. I don't mind. [He likes talking to Forrest after all. It's been a while.]

[clothes_make_the_man]

[Seeing that the dogs are all right with it, he takes a seat next to Roxas.]

The gardens are so peaceful at night. I'm glad you're getting the chance to see them like this.

[Considering the last time was during the Axelblightsplosion.]

[missingache]

[They are so alright that the one Roxas was petting just lays down across both of their laps.]

K-Komitis... [What a brat.] Sorry... he likes attention.

[He nods at the initial statement.] It's beautiful! You're really lucky you have this pretty a temple.

[clothes_make_the_man]

It's all right, I don't mind.

[Forrest tentatively reaches down to pet the dog.]

It was a bit of an adjustment at first, but I'm actually quite comfortable here now. It feels large and empty sometimes, but Kairi took care of that problem rather well tonight.

[It's clearly a joke, judging from the happy smile on his face.]

[missingache]

[Komitis loves attention, so he happily lets himself get petted.]

My temple always feels full since there's always so many people over. [Not a single quiet day, but Roxas wouldn't have it any other way.] She's good at that! She loves getting people together. I just didn't think.... she had so many friends...

[Forrest being happy made Roxas feel happier. It was nice to see people you cared about in a good mood.]

[clothes_make_the_man]

[Good dog, best friend.]

I was surprised too, though perhaps I shouldn't have been. Kairi has a rather magnetic personality. She draws people in before they even know what happened.

[missingache]

[Asteri is the picky one and tends to stay close to Roxas when around him. Komitis will come visit Forrest if allowed.

Roxas is quiet for a bit before nodding.]

She's always been like that. It's her heart.

[clothes_make_the_man]

Her heart?

[He glances over at Roxas, expression quizzical.]

[missingache]

[Oh yeah, that would be confusing to others. So he'll skirt around it a little.]

Because it's really pure. Even back home it was.

[clothes_make_the_man]

[That's enough to satisfy.]

Yes, I can certainly understand that. She's a great friend, arranging for all of these guests to attend my first slumber party. She didn't have to go to so much trouble.

[missingache]

Sometimes... she does a little too much. But she's happy when she can do things that make other people happy. She's worse than Sora.

[clothes_make_the_man]

I think that's a good quality to have, though. Selflessness like that is very admirable.

[missingache]

I just... [He looks worried.] I can't get myself to tell her to slow down. I don't want her to feel insulted or guilty.

[clothes_make_the_man]

Are you worried she's overdoing it?

[missingache]

I know she is. [Hence the worry and not knowing how to stop her.]

[clothes_make_the_man]

Is there anything I can do to help?
