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 know precisely what would be off-limits for Fun Sleepover Talk, but she figures it can't hurt to try and steer the conversation away from something QUITE so depressing.]

Well, you're right about that part.

[And, hmm, thinking... thinking...]

And along your journey you've managed to stumble into a Sleepover, so I think I should at least try to do something for you while you're here for it.

[Nice transition, so she thinks.]

How about I ... braid a spiral into your tail or something?

[mithrarin]

[Dust folds his arms, attempting to look stern, though the faint smile on his face and in his voice both give the game away.]

Be honest, Kairi. Is that doing something for me, or something for you?

[pure_radiantics]

... It could be both! If you want it to be.

[She's trying to give him something that no one else here gets, anyway, since he's feeling so out of place... everywhere.]

[mithrarin]

[Dust can't help but laugh, running a hand down his face in bemusement. Truth be told, there's a part of him that would quite like Kairi to braid his tail -- a literal part that is the soul of a teenaged boy, and thus appreciative of any such attention.]

[The other part finds this ridiculous, but the ruling mind that is Dust himself figures he owes Kairi one for the invite.] Sure, go for it. Should I sit in a chair, or -- how do you want to work this?

[pure_radiantics]

[SCORE! Her hands tuck to her side in excitement that he's going to let her. She really wouldn't have pushed any harder than that.]

Yeah, let's see... we'll find one that has an open back. Then I can sit on the ground and do it.

[Since she expects it to take a little while, not knowing how to braid a tail specifically without hurting him.]

[mithrarin]

[That's... a bit excited, there, in a little bit of an alarming way. But he's not going to back out now.]

[Looking around, he spots a suitable chair over by a wall, and moves over to it to take a seat a bit self-consciously.]

[pure_radiantics]

[She looks a little sheepish in response.]

Sorry. I'm just having a lot of fun tonight. Maybe too much sugar.

[Because she really is thriving.]

Okay...

[And she goes to sit down, first trying to figure out if he's actually got some kind of thick muscle or bone in his tail by brushing it out and seeing where the resistance is.]

[mithrarin]

[That.... that feels very strange, if in a good way. Dust immediately concludes he'll sooner die than admit to that.]

It's not a problem. You SHOULD be having fun tonight.

[Like most tails, it has a core of bone and muscles that is downright tiny compared to the vast bulk of fur and floof that comprises it. Meaning there's a LOT to work with there; Dust honestly has one heck of a tail.]

[pure_radiantics]

[She smiles quietly.]

Well at least we agree on that much.

[Kairi's glad to see how much fur he's got. This way, she can try to get long strands braided in pieces to either side of the core and use the core as the third strand to braid against... maybe a ribbon to help...? No, that's going too far she decides. He's not the type and not in a good enough mood for that.]

I promise to stop if this hurts though, so you're allowed to tell me.

[mithrarin]

Pretty sure me suddenly jerking my tail away will be a big clue before I even get the words out.

[He doesn't anticipate that, though. If he thought Kairi was the sort to be less than gentle, he wouldn't have allowed this. Or at least been more reluctant about it all.]

[pure_radiantics]

Hopefully it doesn't come to that.

[She'd feel really bad about it.]

I'd rather you have a good memory of spending time here tonight.

[She does manage to get a bit of one strand together in her left hand and so puts down her brush.]

[mithrarin]

It's going to be... a very confused one. [Not going to lie about that.] But a good one anyway, I think.
