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!))

I bet, it’s nothing for an amateur to get into without a bunch’a practice I’m guessin’.

[clothes_make_the_man]

It's like that with everything. Practice makes perfect.

[smilingbullet]

Oh yeah. Personally I prefer practicing fighting techniques but do you prefer these kinda thing?

[clothes_make_the_man]

Yes, I've always enjoyed fashion above all else. I've fought before, but it hardly tops the list of my favorite things to do.

[smilingbullet]

It's not for everyone I guess. Could you teach me a bit more about fashion? I don't really know much.

[clothes_make_the_man]

Of course. I can tell you whatever you'd like to know. Color coordination, what kinds of fabrics go well together, matching makeup to your natural complexion...

[He'll go on like that until he stops him somewhere.]

[smilingbullet]

[ He keeps listening because he's so lost. But eventually... ]

Uh... Color coordination?

[ One of the few he actually remembers.... ]

[clothes_make_the_man]

Of course. Are you familiar with the color wheel?

[smilingbullet]

Uh, there's colors lined up like slices of pie, like green and blue and red and yellow.

[clothes_make_the_man]

Right. Colors right next to each other and opposite each other on the wheel go together when you're trying to put together an outfit.

[smilingbullet]

Okay but, how do I know which ones goes where?

[ He can’t remember so he probably never really knew. ]

[clothes_make_the_man]

Oh... well, here. It's like this.

[He reaches over for several bottles of different colored nail polish, arranging them in a circle in the order of the colors on the wheel.]

This is how the wheel looks.

[smilingbullet]

Oh! I see. So does the color wheel always come in bottle shapes?

[ He grins as he asks it. It's not a serious question. But he'll do his best to memorize the way the colors are arranged. ]

[clothes_make_the_man]

Only this time.

[Forrest laughs as he gestures toward the wheel.]

So, if you can remember the order, you'll always know how to coordinate a good outfit.

[smilingbullet]

Oh, not always?

[ His grin widens with the cheerful question. ]

I might be able to do that. The ones next to each other or opposite, was it?

[clothes_make_the_man]

That's right. Easy, isn't it?

[smilingbullet]

Once I manage to memorize it, I think it might be somewhat easy.

[clothes_make_the_man]

There's a lot that goes into fashion, but this should at least get you started.

[smilingbullet]

I suppose it might. Thank you for that.

[ He might not get much better at it but it might help a little bit. ]
