Sleepover!

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 guess so. I'm not sure what I'd prefer, but I guess that's kind of the point.

[He's not sure if he left anything behind worth missing.]
takenwithhim: (⚡ bitch I'm fabulous)

[personal profile] takenwithhim 2017-04-05 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
[Neither of them know what they left behind. Sousuke at least knows he knew how to swim back then...]

Maybe it's better that way.

[With a little shrug, he pushes the topic aside and goes back to scanning the food.]

Anything on the menu you want to recommend?

[Since there is a table of food in front of them.]
latentforlife: (So what became of rebels)

[personal profile] latentforlife 2017-04-05 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
[Good diversion.]

Ah! Yeah, the fake fruit deserts are fine and all but the sugar soaked strawberries and cake are probably the best thing here.

[He should no, he sampled damn near all of it.]
takenwithhim: (⚡ crap ya saw me)

[personal profile] takenwithhim 2017-04-05 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
[He saw him sampling quite a bit when he first came over, so definitely makes Shuusei a good person to ask.]

That's a lot of sweets...

[He's fine with sweets, but that much at a sleepover? When do they sleep?]

The strawberries sound good.

[Now where's a plate?]
latentforlife: (Default)

[personal profile] latentforlife 2017-04-07 06:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[What's sleep? Do you mean those sudden crashes that occur and black you out for a few hours?

Shuusei probably should be using a plate rather than just snagging and eating. Still, he finds one and hands it over to Sosuke]


They make lots of good things in the town as well that you should try when you get a chance.

takenwithhim: (⚡ cause that's easy to swallow)

[personal profile] takenwithhim 2017-04-08 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[Uh-oh. Don't tell him this guy forgot what sleep was? Amnesia's not that bad, is it?

Sousuke accepts the plate and spoons out a few of the strawberries before scanning over the table again. While he isn't as "not a fan" of sweets as his god is, he doesn't like to indulge on them all that often.]


You mean the restaurants in the Far Shore?

[That place called Tokyo or something similar.]
latentforlife: (So sail away aboard our rig)

[personal profile] latentforlife 2017-04-09 03:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[Shuusei knows what sleep is, but he's finding lots of bad habits and questionable health decisions are easy to make in his new life.]

Some in the Far Shore, but a lot in the Near Shore town not far from my god's temple.
takenwithhim: (⚡ satisfied with the results)

[personal profile] takenwithhim 2017-04-10 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[Far Shore, Near Shore. Why not call them "Over There" and "Over Here" ... which would get mixed up just as well. Sousuke still gets the two confused at times.]

Interesting.

[His last trip to the Near Shore definitely reminded him of the food created over there... unfortunately without the time to go indulge in it.]

Next time I go there, hopefully it'll be a visit rather than business.
latentforlife: (Default)

[personal profile] latentforlife 2017-04-13 02:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Hopefully. If you find free time there's a lot to do over there.

[Like shop, if you have the money. Otherwise it's more people watching and window shopping.]
takenwithhim: (⚡ scanning for viruses)

[personal profile] takenwithhim 2017-04-16 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
Do shinki still have to have their gods to transport to the Near Shore?

[That's been the case as far as he knows, but who knew now? Maybe things have changed. Shopping is currently ixnayed since Sousuke's not going to be askign Rin for some kind of allowance...]
latentforlife: (And left us somewhat reelin')

[personal profile] latentforlife 2017-04-17 01:38 pm (UTC)(link)
You have to use your god's shrine. Not sure if they can block you from doing that, mine hasn't yet. I don't think you can use another god's shrine, but I only tried once so it might just be something I messed up.

[He doesn't know exactly about asking permission to use other god's shrines.]
takenwithhim: (⚡ you're talking and i'm listening)

[personal profile] takenwithhim 2017-04-18 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
I know where his shrine is, but I've only gone to the Near Shore with him.

[Guess he'll just have to try it out on his own sometime. Sousuke nods at the mention of not being able to use other god's shrine's.]

That seems logical.
latentforlife: (We're the seven deadly sins)

[personal profile] latentforlife 2017-04-18 01:12 pm (UTC)(link)
I get a little more freedom... sometimes.

[Sometimes she randomly gets really strict about things. He hasn't found any rhyme or reason for it yet.]
takenwithhim: (⚡ this is how we summer)

[personal profile] takenwithhim 2017-04-19 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
What do you mean by "freedom"?

[Because in this case, it could mean a few things, from shrine usage to something else.

Sousuke's aware his own god is very free with him; Rin doesn't give any restrictions but what is natural between god and shinki.]
latentforlife: (Default)

[personal profile] latentforlife 2017-04-21 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
No rules, no responsibilities, just a lot of doing whatever you want.

[Not that his goddess had many rules. But she did have very random, seemingly bizarre ones.]
takenwithhim: (⚡ obligatory om nom nom)

[personal profile] takenwithhim 2017-04-21 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
I see.

[He helps himself to another plate.]

Do you do much with your goddess? A schedule or routine?

[Most, but not all, shinki he's met seem to have a good friendship and interaction with their gods.]</small
latentforlife: (In the search for liberty)

[personal profile] latentforlife 2017-04-21 01:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Not really. She's sort of lax with the whole thing. She only really jumps in when I'm doing something wrong apparently.

[Though she rarely explains that.]

It's a little frustrating but I get a feeling about some of those things anyways that makes me think she's probably right.

takenwithhim: (Default)

[personal profile] takenwithhim 2017-04-22 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
I take it that feeling is something like familiarity.

[So far, his god hasn't tried to really stop him from doing something that might be nostalgic. Though... Sousuke had stubbornly continued to swim despite that being a trigger.

So long as he didn't think about it much and let the motions come to his body naturally.]
latentforlife: (We're the seven deadly sins)

[personal profile] latentforlife 2017-04-22 02:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[Where as his goddess jumps in just about any time something could possibly be nostalgic, without really chiming in on the why she thinks that.

Usually though, when she's right he knows it.]


Probably. Some things I am just good at, like I'm practiced at it or something, and if I don't think too hard on why I guess I'm safe.
takenwithhim: (⚡ too busy being coo')

[personal profile] takenwithhim 2017-04-22 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[They have to take care of them somehow. Who knows what's going to trigger something in shinki? It's not like they remember.

But compared to the alternative, Sousuke'll quietly accept it.]


I know how that feels. It's how I'm able to keep swimming.
latentforlife: (Grapplin' with their demons)

[personal profile] latentforlife 2017-04-23 01:09 pm (UTC)(link)
I guess it's better than having a natural talent you'd need some background for or it'd drive you insane. Like a talent for killing people or some weird power.

[He's met a couple with powers. That can't be fun for them not knowing what that makes them.]
takenwithhim: (⚡ you're talking and i'm listening)

[personal profile] takenwithhim 2017-04-24 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
But if you had that talent, couldn't you let your body go with the motion and not really think about it?

See what happens?

[He guesses it's different for people with strange abilities, mirroring Shuusei's thoughts. But what's the difference between knowing how to move things with your mind compared to knowing how to cook?]

I know a shinki who can fly. He said he doesn't really "know" how he does it. He simply can.
latentforlife: (Grapplin' with their demons)

[personal profile] latentforlife 2017-04-24 02:49 pm (UTC)(link)
That's probably a good thing to not dwell on. I'd start to wonder why I have that power and other people don't though. Like what does that make me.

[And that's where you get into trouble.]
takenwithhim: (⚡ ... right)

[personal profile] takenwithhim 2017-04-25 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
Aa.

[Thinking about yourself could get in trouble, but other people?]

I don't think we all come from the same place.
latentforlife: (And left us somewhat reelin')

[personal profile] latentforlife 2017-04-25 03:52 pm (UTC)(link)
What makes you say that?

[He does feel really out of place around here but he's not atypical as far as anything else goes.]
