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!))

[ Hibiki turns her back on Roxas. She doesn't seem inclined to budge from this spot.

But she's also not trying to leave the party any more, or summoning her shinki. Venus, you see, would probably want to stay.

Venus would probably make Hibiki stay. And then Hibiki would be here with Venus.

So she's supposing things can always be worse. ]

[missingache]

[Hibiki, he will summon his ghost doggies to harass you into staying.]

If you try and leave, I'll say 'that' again.

[Roxas will nya you into submission.]

[priforprince]

"That"....

[ There is a visible shudder. Hibiki looks over her shoulder to be sure Roxas is serious.

Yup. He is.

She snorts, tossing her head. Fine. But Just So You Know, her body language screams that she is here Under Coercion and you should Be Ashamed Of Yourself. ] Departing prematurely would be a slight to the host, I suppose.

[missingache]

[Roxas is hardly ever ashamed of himself. At least around people who aren't his family here.]

Yeah, don't upset Forrest! He's like a brother to me.

[priforprince]

Your definition of "family" is terribly broad-minded.

[ Is there tea here? There are snack-like refreshments.

Is there tea? ]

[missingache]

"Family is what you make it," and I make mine with people who I can trust.

[So shut it, Miss Anti-Family.

And yes. There's always tea.]

[priforprince]

[ TEA she doesn't get her hopes up, that would be silly, Hibiki's Tea Standards are even higher than her standards for everything else (if that's possible), and yet, she also is deeply in need of a high qualitea exptearience right now. So she picks up a cup and inhales the scent wafting from it as an expteariment.

The fragrance passes muster. Holding the saucer with one hand, she lifts the cup with the other. ] A laughable concept.

[ So she does smirk at it. Trust. Hah. That thing she still can't do. And that she thinks you're a fool for bestowing so easily.

Up goes the cup for the first atteampt. ]

[missingache]

[Good. She was staying. Roxas can dismiss his Keyblades for now, and perks up when he sees the tea. So he comes right over and takes a cup. After sipping it, he frowns.]

I've got way better tea at home...

[No offense, Forrest. He's just super picky about tea.]

[priforprince]

[ What, now he's pretending he knows about tea? Is that some attempt to ingratiate himself with her? Hibiki sniffs and turns away to enjoy her own cup.

....and he has a point. This isn't completely unpalatable, but it's not, well, Ando's. She drinks a little more deeply to prove she isn't going to take the bait, though. It'll take more than that if he thinks he can get along with Hibiki!

Family. Just because they were assigned sibling gods. What poppycock. They don't even have anything in common.

NOT A SINGLE THING. ]

[missingache]

[He finished the tea to be polite. Roxas wants another cup... but not this stuff.]

You think he'd be mad if I went home and brought over some chai?

[This is mostly said out loud to himself, not Hibiki.]

Or maybe some rosehip?

[priforprince]

[ .....he has rosehip?

No. No, she will not be snared by this transparent ploy. Hibiki starts studying the various snacks available with a sincerity and seriousness people usually reserve for selecting weapons for do-or-die battles.

She picks up a snack pack of flavored chips and frowns at the back. What even are half these ingredients? That can't be edible.

Can it? ]

[missingache]

[Still in thought, Roxas nods to himself.]

Rosehip sounds good... but hibiscus goes well with some of the snacks here... I should have made a cake.

[They are edible, but incredibly fattening. If Hibiki wants to maintain that figure... don't eat them.]

[priforprince]

[ This is just getting irritating. There is no way he bakes.

Hibiki puts the chip packet down - processed food is Not Her Aesthetic - and tries to edge away. Not leave - they've tread that ground already - but just put some distance between herself and that voice. It's making her shoulders clench up.

How can anyone have a good time at a party with such aggravating company? ]

[missingache]

[Roxas learned in the last world he was in from a P3 protag. Of course he knows how to bake.

He doesn't notice her edging away, too preoccupied in thinking about what kind of cake he would have made had he thought about making one in the first place. What does Forrest even like... This is a good question.]

[priforprince]

[ She's gonna try to make her escape, then. Not out of the room - she had given her word - but to an area of this room Not Occupied By Roxas.

This does not mean, however, that wherever she ends up will be permanently devoid of Roxas. It's still the same room. But it's a start.

Besides, if she's staying, she has to retrieve her doll. Two Hibikis would just get confusing, and may possibly be too much radiance for the average mind in this gathering to comprehend. ]

[missingache]

[See this is why he has a hard time trying to understand how Hibiki is even human.

Have fun avoiding Roxas. Sora is around here somewhere.]
