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!))

Yeah. Or moles, or just skin that is a little off, I guess. It’s supposed to make your skin look smooth.

[Thanks, fashion magazines.]

[smilingbullet]

I'd not think that's something that'd need to be covered up.

[ He shrugs. ]

But what do I know about these sort'a stuff. You seem to know some stuff though.

[nopixiedust]

Well, you know when everyone went shopping? I was able to find out some things there! I'm still puzzling out through some of the words, but.... I need to learn the language anyway, right?

[smilingbullet]

[ He nods; it’s not like he’s about to forget it, it was a fun trip. ]

As good way as any to learn. I don’t know anything about makeup but I know Japanese, if you ever wanna ask I could try to help at least.

[nopixiedust]

I’ll call you then if I need the help. Although that might take a while….

[After a few moments of debating, she decides to tell the truth. What can the harm be, anyway?]

I’m sort of inbetween gods right now, I guess you could say.

[smilingbullet]

I don't mind, call me anytime. I'll pick up as long as I'm not on a prayer.

[ Because he sort of would need to focus on that then. ]

Ah, you too? For how long?

[nopixiedust]

Hopefully? Only until the end of the night. I have a god in mind that I want to ask about taking me on.

But... They already have a shinki, so it's not a sure thing.

[smilingbullet]

I see, that’s great.

There are gods with more shinki than one, so I’m sure that as long as the god says yes, then it’ll all be fine. I hope it goes your way.

[nopixiedust]

Yeah. So I guess I’ll just have to hope it goes well.

What about you? Do you have any plans?

[smilingbullet]

[He shakes his head. ]

Nothing specific, but I'm considering some options. Though, I'm pretty sure I'll decline the first offer I got. I just need to come up with a good way of phrasing my explaining.

[nopixiedust]

Really? [She leans closer.] Why, what's wrong with it?

[give her the gossip]

[smilingbullet]

What's wrong with what?

[nopixiedust]

The first offer! Why wouldn’t you take it?

[smilingbullet]

Because he's my previous god's best friend and while he's my friend too, I don't know how I would feel about having him as my god. I'm worried I'd feel guilt and that'd not be good for him, right?

[nopixiedust]

Oh... Yeah, that's true. [She'd forgotten.] Who are your other choices?

[smilingbullet]

Not many.. I'm not sure yet. I don't know all of them so it's a bit odd and then there are some shinki who says they could refer me to their gods which I don't know if it's ideal... But I asked about it yesterday so I can give it a few days, right?

[nopixiedust]

Well.... If you don't find anyone, let me know. I'm sure I can figure out something for you, at least to keep you from getting eaten until we can find someone.

[smilingbullet]

[ He smiles happily at her. ]

Thanks, that you say that means a lot.

[nopixiedust]

Well, us godless shinki have to stick together, right?

[It's not like anyone else will help them out.]

[smilingbullet]

Yeah, we do. So if there's anything you need help with, tell me, okay?

[nopixiedust]

No worries, I'll let you know. Anyway, I'm going to see if I can catch the god I want before she sneaks away. I'll see you later?

[smilingbullet]

Good. [ He nods. ] Yeah sure, break a leg, Wendy!
