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!))

….Just for the record, you guys are doing really badly on that last one.

[Does Heaven have a Yelp page? Asking for a friend.]

[If Yukine were in an anime, for sure there would be a vein pulsing above his head right now, to compliment his strained smile.]

Just for the record, there’s only two shinki assigned to the 80-some-odd of you. You do the math for how well that works. [Which is to say, not at all.] And I helped you out on the BBS, didn’t I.

[nopixiedust]

True… And I said thank you for that, but shouldn’t people get that when they first get here? And only two shinki…

[Crossing her arms and looking like a disappointed mother for all she’s a tiny little thing, Wendy shakes her head.]

What are the Heavens thinking?

[returnedfromtheline]

[Go turn the disappointed mother shtick on a god. Maybe then they'll get results.]

Damned if I know.

Anyways, this is just how it is until something changes.

[nopixiedust]

Well, you're the one who's been here the longest...

[She settles down, staring at him intently.]

How will things change?

[returnedfromtheline]

Again, damned if I know. Depends on what happens, doesn’t it? Maybe we’ll find whoever is behind this and get them to send you all back where you come from. Maybe we won’t and heaven will have to integrate you for the long-term. Who knows.

[nopixiedust]

....Where will us shinki go back to? I mean...

[She trails off, but. Bro. They're shinki. She's pretty sure that means they're dead as shit.]

[returnedfromtheline]

[Yukine shifts uncomfortably, his distaste for the subject clear in his expression.]
… I think you should all be in the worlds you belong. It’s not natural for you to be here. But while you’re here, you have this life…
[He then sighs out heavily.] How ‘bout you just worry about it once it happens.

[nopixiedust]

So basically you don’t want to think about it.

[Typical. She can’t even be surprised.]

[returnedfromtheline]

You're free to think about it all you want. And I'm free not to.

Anyway, hope you have a chance to ask Bishamonten-sama your questions.

[He shifts his posture, clearly ready to tie up this conversation that's going in an irksome direction again.]

[nopixiedust]

[Sighing, she turns away.]

So it's up to a woman to help in the end.... Alright, fine. I'll see you later then.
