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!))

W-what?!

[What's wrong with a tie? They are literally in the middle of feather-pocalypse!!]

I'm not giving up!

[Yata, you just ignited more competition in him. He picks up the ripped pillow and shoves it on Yata's face, causing more feathers to erupt into the air like a windstorm.]

Take this!!

[ Quitter.

Yata doesn't look all that regretful over inciting more berserker pillow rage.

Of course, any retort he might have made is stopped by the fact that Sora's next attack gets him a mouthful of feathers so instead he just gives a garbled battlecry and lunges.

The next minute the pair of them are dropping into a mountain of nearby pillows, left unguarded for the moment. And then there's a literal volcano of feathers erupting around them. ]

[He's not a quitter!! Gosh!!

Sora yells when he's lunged at, going down like a sack of potatoes. He begins to wrestle with the other, trying to shove more handfuls of feathers at him and into his face while kicking wildly.

The feather storm just gets worse as they fly all over the place which will probably take hours to clean up afterwards.

Worth it.]


Eat feathers!!!

Feathers aren't for eating! Didn't anyone ever teach you that?

[ There might be a sly smirk as Yata counters that, but he doesn't seem to care about the feather storm. In fact, he swings his now half-empty pillowcase down towards the pinned boy beneath him once more.

Definitely worth it. ]


You ready to surrender yet?

[personal profile] oathkeeper 2017-03-18 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
What are you, my dad? You don't look like him! But you do look kinda old!

[He lets out another yelp as he pummeled again.]

Surrender? Never!

[With no pillow left in his hand except for feathers everywhere, Sora does the next best thing he can think of. He uses a spell called Magnet which does exactly what the spell is called on whatever target Sora wishes.

There's a flourish as a large cluster of feathers gather at Sora's hand and he unleashes it at Yata like a giant feather bomb.

Blamo!]

Old?! [ Now Yata is sputtering for an entirely different reason, lifting his pillow to smack the kid for that insult.

...Except he never gets the chance because Sora does something and the feathers around them rise up in the air and suddenly blast at him from every direction.

Blinded and swatting, it sparks a hint of exasperated temper - not that he's really mad but there's only so many feathers a person can handle, really. And his control isn't quite what it should be yet. Which is why, on one of the swiping passes as he swats at the feathers, there's a sudden bright flare of Aura that envelops his hand and arm.

And suddenly there are quite a few less feathers as they sizzle and catch fire and vanish in the span of several seconds, burned away so quickly it's as if they'd never been there.

It makes Yata freeze, blinking in surprise a moment before he gives a low curse at his slip. ]


Ah, dammit!

[Sora bursts out laughing at first at Yata's reaction, arm curling around his stomach with his mirth.

But it soon dissolves when his eye catches that red aura and the feathers catch fire and sizzle.]


H-Hey! Take it easy, don't burn anything down! This is my brother's temple!

[WHEEZE. Okay- fight over. Sora waves his hands around, trying to grab at the feathers and put them out. He winces with each one.

But that aura... He's seen it before.]


Hey, are you a shinki? What's your name?
thevanguard: Loud Attitude (030)

[personal profile] thevanguard 2017-03-22 05:12 pm (UTC)(link)
It's fine, they're just feathers, they won't burn long enough to start anything.

[ He sighs and swats at them, trying to will the Aura away. After a moment of guttering and flickering, it dies down again.

The question gets a confused blink from him as he glances over at Sora, not sure why he's asking that suddenly. ]


Yeah. I'm Yata. Why?

[personal profile] oathkeeper 2017-03-24 05:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[WELP. Now he can't ask for fear of getting Yata or Izumo hurt. He rubs the back of his head and feels that dull aching when questions of a shinki's past or past connections flutter up.]

That fire thing you do is pretty cool. I'm Sora, by the way. A god of light.

[So he grins instead. He wonders if Yata and Izumo knew each other in their past lives, but he can't ask. Perhaps he can just shove them together at another gathering or something and see what happens.]

[ Yata blinks. ]

You're a god? Huh. [ At least this one knew how to use his words. ] And yeah, I guess it is. I don't know much about it. I'm still trying to figure out how to control it. The feather thing was an accident.

[personal profile] oathkeeper 2017-03-28 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[Unlike some other people, Sora likes to skip the awkward are you a shinki or a god thing. Worry not, Yata. He'll proclaim his title upfront.]

Don't worry about the feathers, there's no harm done!

[Sora perks up again, a wide grin on his face.]

You're really good at pillow fighting too!
thevanguard: Happy Attitude (059)

[personal profile] thevanguard 2017-03-29 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[ yata just gives a shrug at that, scratching at his cheek as he glances around at the pillows they've defeated. Oops? ]

I think I'm just good at fighting, actually. The pillow part was just a bonus.
oathkeeper: <user name=cupcake_graphics> (☾59)

[personal profile] oathkeeper 2017-03-30 03:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah? [There's another spark of competition and excitement in Sora's eyes at that.]

Do you know what you're usually good at fighting with? Weapons or something?

[personal profile] thevanguard 2017-03-31 07:04 am (UTC)(link)
I'm still figuring that part out. But I was fighting with a staff when we were training and I guess I was pretty good with it? It felt... right. I mean, it's not a sword or a gun or anything, but I could still hit pretty well with it. And I guess hand-to-hand? Maybe that's what the fire is for... I'm still figuring that part out.

[personal profile] oathkeeper 2017-04-01 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
[Sora grins.]

I'm glad you're trying stuff out! That's the best way to find out what you were- are- good at!

If you're good with a staff and wanna beat on someone to see what else you can do, let me know! I'll help!

[Sora might look like a cinnamon bun but he's actually a fight nugget.]
thevanguard: Serious Confused (051)

[personal profile] thevanguard 2017-04-02 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
You? What do you fight with? Wait, am I even allowed to fight gods?

[ That sounds like it should be against the rules somewhere. ]
oathkeeper: <user name=vhazzrhossze site=tumblr.com> (☄15)

[personal profile] oathkeeper 2017-04-03 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
[Sora tilts his head.] Uhhh, I think so? I've sparred with other shinki before, anyway.

[Sora's a little shaky on rule books. Meaning he has no idea if there is a rule book on that or not.]

I fight best with a sword!
thevanguard: Happy (017)

[personal profile] thevanguard 2017-04-03 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
[ There's always rules. How else would he always manage to somehow break them, otherwise? ]

A sword, huh? Okay, I think I could work with that. [ At least it's not throwing knives. He seems to have an innate aversion to those, for some reason. ] Sure. If you wanna spar sometime, let me know.
