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!))

[She doesn't remember if she's told him, either. Oh well, it's no big deal!]

Ah, it's Maria-sama. She's supposed to be Nuada Airgetlám.

[Don't ask her how much she had to practice that name.]

[mithrarin]

[Dust sure as hell isn't even gonna try it.]

She seemed like a good person. That must work out well for you.

[thirdbeauty]

She's my second god, actually. Lightning-sama was a good person too. I've been really lucky.

[mithrarin]

[Dust himself seems to get along quite well with Takumi, but -- is that luck?]

You don't think it's normal for a shinki and god to get along?

[thirdbeauty]

Not exactly.

[How can she explain what she means?]

I think it's usually harder with total strangers? I don't really know. But with Lightning-sama and Maria-sama, it felt... like I already kind of belonged.

[mithrarin]

Aren't all those relationships total strangers, at least going one way? [Even if a god knew their shinki... before... the shinki always forgets, right?]

Takumi and I get along pretty well too, so I thought it was pretty normal...

[thirdbeauty]

Well... yeah. That's why it was a little surprising, how easy it was.

[She couldn't explain why she thought that, though.]

I'm glad it's not just me. I've heard some people don't always have good experiences with the gods they end up with.

[mithrarin]

That's dangerous though, isn't it? A god who treats their shinki poorly is just asking to get -- stung, right?

[He's still getting all these terms together in his head, but he's pretty sure he has the basic idea correct.]

[thirdbeauty]

Something like that, yeah...

[She's not sure exactly if he's talking about blight, or something else. Either way, she's sure it's true.]

I guess that might be one of the reasons why it all works that way. Gods and shinki work better together if they get along.

[mithrarin]

[He has a little confusion on his terms, which ailment is caused by exposure to ayakashi and wish is caused by moral regret on the shinki's behalf. Whatever the case, he's sure it's all bad.]

For all that they're assigned randomly, it seems... Thinking about that, I'm a little surprise it all works out myself.
