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!))

Exactly!

[Giggling back, Wendy delicately picks up another roll of sushi.]

Anyway, thanks for introducing me to these. I'm glad I accepted Kairi's invitation.

[clothes_make_the_man]

I'm glad too. It's always nice to meet new friends.

[Forrest smiles brightly back at her, glad she's enjoying herself and the food.]

So, would you like me to do your hair or nails for you after you're finished eating?

[nopixiedust]

My hair…

[Without thinking too hard about it, she reaches up to touch it. It’s extremely long, and she’s just put it into a ponytail for the last few days. Living on her own has kind of necessitated it- no time for fancy buns or anything.]

What are you thinking?

[clothes_make_the_man]

Hmm... what about a twin braid?

[It would look nice with her youthful complexion.]

[nopixiedust]

Sure! It takes a long time to do them usually- having another person help with them would be great!

[clothes_make_the_man]

All right! Have a seat, then. Would you like me to braid some ribbons into them?

[nopixiedust]

[Carefully kneeling down on top of a pillow- this place really is amazing, it still stuns her how lavish some gods’ temples can be- she beams.]

Ribbons would be great! I actually had some in my hair when I first woke up.

[Did her parents do it for her a lot? It's something she can't help but wonder, even though she knows she's not supposed to.]

[clothes_make_the_man]

What's your favorite color?

[Forrest smiles, getting out several different rolls of ribbon. He's definitely come prepared tonight.]

[nopixiedust]

Pink. Definitely pink.

[It’s the color she first arrived in, after all! So that has to account for something.]

[clothes_make_the_man]

I have plenty of pink, so that's fine.

[It's his favorite color too. Smiling, he moves behind her to get to work on the braids.]

[nopixiedust]

[Calmly, she sits in place, feeling a little reassured by the feel of someone else going through her hair.]

You're really good at this... Do you have sisters, or something?

[clothes_make_the_man]

No, I'm an only child. I've just been interested in this sort of thing since I was little.

[It shows, too, with how gently and skillfully he works.]

[nopixiedust]

Really? Then who did you practice on?

[Wendy knows better than anyone, after all, that braiding someone else's hair is a lot different than doing your own.]

[clothes_make_the_man]

Mostly the girl who helped raise me while my parents were away, but later my mother and I braided each other's hair.

[nopixiedust]

So you’ve always been nobility or something, huh…?

[No comment on Foster’s mother- Wendy feels like she might just get jealous.]

[clothes_make_the_man]

That's right. I'm a prince of the country of Nohr, though I'm actually only fifth in line for the throne.

[nopixiedust]

And then something went and made you a god... I guess that's kind of like a promotion, huh?

[clothes_make_the_man]

I suppose that's one way of looking at it. It took a long time to get used to the idea. I'm still getting used to it in a lot of ways.

[nopixiedust]

Really? Like what are you still getting used to?

[clothes_make_the_man]

It just seems strange... thinking of myself as a god.

[nopixiedust]

How do you think it's different from being a prince?

[clothes_make_the_man]

Well... gods are responsible for many more people, for one.

[nopixiedust]

Hmm.... After a certain amount of people, does it really matter if it's a town or a city?

[clothes_make_the_man]

I suppose that's one way of looking at things. But I've never actually had that sort of experience in the first place before coming here.

[nopixiedust]

Oh.... True. What does a prince that isn't going to be a king do, anyway?
