[Open] Birthday Partying
Who: Nanako and Everyone else!
When: the afternoon of October 4th
Where: Nanshe's Temple
What: It's Nanako's 7th birthday! She's invited everyone over for cake.
[ The party is a little last minute, because Nanako hadn't exactly planned on having anything until a few days before, but it doesn't take much to make her happy and the decorating was simple enough to do, especially when she enlisted some of her friends for help.
Her temple is decorated with some streamers and colorful balloons in pink and purple, the doors swung open so people could go in and out as they wished, since the weather was still warm, even for October.
There's a birthday cake, too, although it's small and round and meant mostly for Nanako, seven candles placed carefully atop it, waiting to be blown out. Instead of making a cake big enough for everyone who might show up, she instead had asked for help baking cupcakes, some chocolate, some vanilla, the frosting in flavors of peanut butter or strawberry and mixed and matched between them.
Nanako herself is dressed up in a pink flowery dress, not quite so fancy as what she wore for the dinner party a few nights past, but something a little nicer than every day, her hair done up with pink ribbons. She looks a little nervous when the first few guests show up, unsure if anyone would really come, but once her friends start showing up, that's entirely forgotten as she is happy to see everyone who shows up to visit and happily bounces between all her guests to say hello and make sure they get a cupcake.
And if she looks like she's concentrating especially hard on her wish when she blows out her candles? Well. She's doing her best. Celebrating with her friends and almost-family here might not be the same as what her birthday might have been at home, but she's still happy for the chance, all the same. ]

[It was a bit strange for Fuujin to get a gift for anyone. Kaede was fairly certain he didn't know the little goddess well and she clearly made him uneasy but she's here per his request. Be it a invite being sent to the temple or stumbling upon a wandering paper caught by a timely guest of wind, the notice had reached the wind god.
Parties, much less a child's, were beneath him and he wouldn't dare be seen at such an event. Kaede on the other hand was sent to drop off the delivery. She peeks in curiously before walking through the temple trying not to draw too much attention to herself though that is difficult considering her arms are full with gifts, one of which being rather big.
Kaede perks when she locates what appears to be the gift table and places two signed gifts down neatly with the others. One large skinny present and a smaller box-shaped one containing two gifts inside. The large fan and blue wind chime both have a silvercharm representing who they're from attached.
With that, Kaede backs up and turns to take her leave out of the temple. Fuujin did tell her not to linger for too long.]

[ Nanako had almost missed her arrival at all, but she catches sight of the other shinki as she moves away from the present table. Nanako hadn't really expected to hear anything from the older gods, knowing how busy they were. And considering Fuujin's thoughts on most of the new gods, she wasn't sure he'd appreciate something like a birthday party to begin with. But spotting the other shinki, she still brightens happily and bounces over to her. ]
Hello! I didn't think I'd see you here! Did Fuujin come, too? [ She glances around curiously for the wind god. ]
