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!))

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?

[oathkeeper]

[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.]

[thevanguard]

[ 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.

[oathkeeper]

[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]

[ 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]

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?

[thevanguard]

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.

[oathkeeper]

[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]

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]

[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]

[ 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.
