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!))

[Well, he doesn’t think it’s too prying or nosy. He does wonder why she’s still making a big deal about it, but more or less figures that’s simply something important for her. He’s not one to judge too much. Rin’s a pretty friendly guy too, and then there’s Goten and Makoto…]

I’m not surprised.

[The other guy’s pretty enthusiastic so him and Kairi knowing each other at least somewhat’s almost expected. Besides, they were both talking in his network post, so mutual conversation topic at another time. Besides, Shuusei’s here at the party at Kairi’s invite, right?]

He said it’s hard to hold a job down. I’ve been interested in finding a job or something for a long time, but since people can’t see shinki, the idea of holding a job in the far shore is impractical. [A small sigh.] There aren’t other options though.

[None that he’s heard of at least. But he would like to make some other money instead of relying on Rin’s godly income, even if he and his gods are anything but expensive boys.]

Well now that I'm thinking about it again... maybe some sort of delivery service? That way it doesn't matter if you're visible for too long. I mentioned dog-walking to Wendy one time too, since animals can respond to us a lot better than adults.

[Kairi taps her own chin in thought as she keeps on this line of conversation. It's less awkward, from what she can tell. She leans on one hip too.]

And last I talked to Shuusei, I think he was trying to make food. That wouldn't be a terrible thing either. Or maybe -- ooh here's an idea -- maybe odd jobs around the Far Shore itself? The other Gods have money already, right?

[She holds her own elbows afterwards.]

I think that's basically what Forrest does anyway. He makes clothes for other people in the Far Shore.

[Hey that’s not a bad idea. You get calls and then take the thing to where it needs to go. Though doesn’t delivery usually require getting noticed so you can get the delivery acknowledged? He could just leave it by the door… It’s something to think about though.

The “dog walker” comment earns a slight snort, but he holds his tongue. (Look, Kairi doesn’t need to know Sousuke turns into a dog.)]

Delivery sounds possible.

[It’s odd, thinking about getting a job of sorts up here in the Far Shore. Most of the gods are already residing in temples, castles, and palaces, and plenty of them have servants. The idea of “needing” something outside of protecting people over on the Near Shore in order to earn offerings... Then again Sousuke’s a shinki and Rin pretty much provides for him (something that never stops annoying Sousuke’s self-reliant self).]

Odd jobs… I’ll post something on the network asking about it.

[Look at that. Mr. No Friends is going to actively reach out (this time without the bad attitude).]

[Kairi smiles broadly at Sousuke as he works through some of what she's said and then even adds to it.]

Oh! A network post would be perfect!

[She's tried a couple of times to talk about spells or borderlines or this party, but not about work ideas... even though she's answered several other people talking about the same thing. Weird.

And because she doesn't want to sour him on it, she considers this a perfect note to end on.]

I'll keep an eye out for it, okay? For now I should probably get back to the party, see how everyone's doing and let you finish your walk.

[Or whatever else he was planning to do out here.]

[takenwithhim]

[It’s something at least. He’s sure there have been others in the past since this is definitely not a first time topic, unlike his last network post. But without it, he’s not going to get a lot further just swimming in place.]

Aa. It’ll go up sometime.

[He hears the departure in her words and offers a small nod in acceptance. Of both her decision and her encouragement. Time to move forward one way or another. At least get to know what his options are. He’ll have to bring it up with Rin too.]

Doesn’t sound too crazy in there. I’ll head in later for a refill.

[And tosses the now-empty stalks of his cherry tomato cluster into a torch nearby.]

Ja ne.
