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!))

[Ah, it's so much fun picking on awkward boys. Lance looks delighted as he bats his eyes.]

Make you feel gorgeous! You deserve to look pretty, don't you think~?

[He make a gesture at Rachi. C'mere, c'mere.]

[battered]

[???]

N-... no?

[Look okay he has no idea how to react to this, and just kind of said the first thing that came to mind rather than actually thinking about the question he's answering.]

[isayvol]

[Holy crow, this is the most awkward kid to come through here - JACKPOT FOR LANCE!!

He lets out a little shocked gasp, holding a hand to his chest.]

W-what? You poor thing...! You absolutely deserve to look pretty, no matter what anyone else says!

[battered]

Kahaha!

[???]

Wh-what?

[?????]

What are you talking about?

[isayvol]

[This is just TOO GOOD to pass up. Lance will keep picking for as long as he can. And he reaches out to grab Raichi's hand to tug him towards a chair.]

I'm saying you deserve to look pretty. I can help you feel good about yourself!

[battered]

[Please pick on him mercilessly, thank you.]

Do... I?

[Man, with the way he's reacting, you'd think Lance was speaking to him in a language he could only barely comprehend. This concept, it is simply too foreign.]

[isayvol]

[Lance very pointed pushes Raichi into a chair.]

Definitely. You'll feel like a whole new person and you'll be all like "Lance! You're so cool!" when I'm done!

[He puts on a slightly quavering voice to imitate Raichi minutely there.]

[battered]

[Well I guess he's sitting in that chair now.]

I will??

[He's not exactly fighting this situation at all, he just seems a little shocked with how fast everything's going. Do your worst, Lance.]

[isayvol]

[This is exactly the best kind of guinea pig. Lance is pleased as he starts wetting a cotton ball with primer.]

You will~

[And he starts dabbing Raichi's face lightly.]

Oh, I'm Lance by the way. In case you didn't figure that out.

[He grins and loads up a brush with some foundation.]

What's your name?

[battered]

[Raichi kinda flinches away at the sudden contact of... whatever the heck that is, but at least he isn't trying to get away from him or anything.]

Um - Raichi! Todoroki.

['Nice to meet you?']

[isayvol]

[Good kid. He's doing well so far.]

Raichi! I like it. Seems a little weird, but hey! We're in Japan, right? Lots of weird names.

[Dude, no.

He spreads the foundation evenly, humming softly.]

What's your favorite color, Raichi?

[battered]

[Is it really that weird??? He doesn't know! He looks totally lost right now! Why is this even happening!!

h jeez and now he's being asked a question? Does this have to do with the make-over that's being foisted on him? Does he even know the answer to this question? He looks faintly bewildered for a second before replying with the first color that comes to mind,]

Y-yellow?

[Are you sure about that??]

[isayvol]

[Well, Lance is more than happy to latch onto that color. So it works!]

Yellow, huh?

[He grins at the poor kid.]

Makes me think of my best friend. Definitely a good color.

[With a flourish, he finishes off the foundation, reaching for some eye shadow.]

Close your eyes for me, would you?

[battered]

[Why does he have to do that? W h a t e v e r despite looking totally lost and perhaps borderline frightened, he complies, closing his eyes.]

O-okay?

[isayvol]

[Lance smirks.]

Good boy~

[He starts brushing some shadow onto Raichi's eyelids.]

My favorite color's blue, by the way. Best color there is~

[battered]

[As soon as the brush hits his eyelid, Raichi recoils in shock.]

Whoa!!

[OH IS THAT WHAT'S HAPPENING?? You scared the daylights out of him dude!! Give a guy a little warning!!]

[isayvol]

[oh. Okay. Lance laughs.]

Hey, hey, relax. It's just some powder for your eyes. It'll make them look nice, promise.

[battered]

O-okay??

[Oh jeez this is a total disaster.]

Kahaha!! I wasn't expecting it!

[Help him]

[isayvol]

Oh, yeah, I thought it'd be obvious, sorry!

[He brushes more powder onto Raichi's eyelids.]

I'm coming at 'em again with another color, okay?

[battered]

S-sure?

[None of this awkwardness seems to be going away any time soon, I am sorry. At the very least, he's not like... actively freaking out, just incredibly tense as this whole situation continues to happen.]

[isayvol]

[Lance starts brushing the second color on, gently.]

You seem pretty tense, kid. Are you really that put off by this?

[He keeps his voice gentle, so as not to scare Raichi more.]

[battered]

Am I?

['Tense', that is. Don't worry, he's not playing dumb, he just kind of is dumb, but it might sound like a pitiful ploy to 'act natural' regardless.]

Kahah, I just... don't think I've ever done this? Ever?

[It's all too new and totally unfamiliar!!]

[isayvol]

[It's awkwardly endearing. Lance isn't annoyed and he definitely doesn't sound annoyed since he's laughing quietly.]

Well that's not surprising. But hey! It's good to try new things, right?

[battered]

P-... probably?

[To be fair, as a shinki, basically everything feels like a new experience.

And, you know, for a shinki who only really had the life experience of 'baseball all day every day', that's the only thing that feels familiar in the slightest, and everything else is doubly new in that regard.]

[isayvol]

[Lance tsks.]

No probably. It's good to try new things.

[He sets the brush aside and grabs a pencil.]

I'm gonna line your eyes now. Make 'em really pop. So don't jerk away, okay?
