Book Party [ota]

Who: Romeo, Elfnein and literally everyone in the heavens. Even if you weren't personally invited every invite came with a +ALL YOUR FRIENDS and there's also a sign. Strangers are just friends these two haven't met yet.
When: 29th April. Afternoon onwards
Where: Temple Smol (Gegute's library)
What: Just the cutest book party the heavens has ever known! Bring your best book!



Arrival

You might have received an invitation, or perhaps you are just passing Gegute’s library but there is an brightly painted sign outside.

Book Party today!

Everyone welcome! Bring your best book or dress up!

Lots of tasty food!


The doors of the temple are open and once you arrive in the lobby there are more bright arrows pointing the way into the library. If you are still stuck mister Goat is at the help desk, he’ll direct any one who needs it!

Activities

The layout of the library hasn’t really changed at all, except a few tables being moved to accommodate activities and all the comfy reading cushions have been brought to a central location. All the shelves are decorated with colourful paper chains and streamers.

Romeo had really enjoyed Yuna’s birthday party with the activities to do so he had copied the idea for Elfnein’s book party! On one table there is material for making bookmarks. You might want to recut the card strips, they are a little wonky. There is ribbon and glitter and colouring pens and glue.

On another there is a cardboard box puppet theatre, painted in a riot of colours with colourful strips of material as curtains. There is some felt and other material, as well as scissors, glue and wool to make puppets with. A sign reads in childish Hirigana. Show your best book!

Food

The invitations had promised lots of tasty food and there sure was a lot! A whole table filled with tasty treats, Romeo had been very very busy! There was a whole tray of chopped fruit, another of vegetables like carrots and cucumber.

There was bread and cheese and two bowls of pasta with different sauces. Another bowl of noddles with meat and vegetables. There was a huge bowl of rice too with a tray of grilled fish and a bowl of broccoli and asparagus.

An entire part of the table was taken up by apples and things with apples in them, apple turnovers and even an attempt at an apple pie, it was a bit smushed but probably tasted fine.

There was a tray of very misshapen cookies with messy icing and another of even messier cupcakes with far too much buttercream. There were also churos and a chocolate Gateaux, these seemed to have been bought rather than made, Romeo hadn’t even known where to start it making them!

There was an attempt at making books and other shapes out of rice and vegetables packed in the two bento boxes Ebisu’s temple had given him for Christmas, but they were a bit crumbly, misshapen or just plain strange. In the centre of Romeo’s bento attempts was his magical bento box, every time it was opened there were different fancy bento creations, if the children’s attempts left a lot to be desired.

Have fun!

"That's good." As long as she remembers to take a break and eat regularly, Wendy guesses that's the most she can ask for of anyone on this ridiculous patch of Heaven. Reaching up, she flicks a stray strand of hair away.

"The Far Shore really is full of workaholics, isn't it?" So many that she can hardly believe them. Shun is one of the worst, but it seems like he has plenty of company in this bad habit.

At that question, Ebisu pauses and has to study his own legs really hard. "I don't know," he says slowly. "Meat?" They're technically already meat, he thinks, although what makes up gods is... strange and uncharted territory. "Still, that's what I've been told by all my shinki, since it's not something that will go away."

Aomi crouches down, putting a hand on Ebisu's shoulder. "You need to have a strong body, young master." A smile is sent over to Romeo. "It's just the way his body is. Sometimes, not everyone's bodies work the same, even if they look like they're the same."

Ginia begins a mental headcount of who she would invite out side of the temple. Chris and Tsubasa of course, and they'd probably want to be involved in planning in some way too. Luger too, as well as D2. Shun and Chinatsu, Kotori as well. She doesn't know Ren's-now-Shun's soulless shinki, but they'd be welcome as well. Hibiki and Wendy, she's pretty sure Hibiki can resist not making the event all about her. Chikusa, and naturally Ken and Hakkai by extension. She's also pretty sure all three God of Fortunes can be civil with each other...

That's a lot of people already and there are still more friends. Granted, not everyone will be able to make it; who knows who will be around by then. It's no less surprising realizing how many people she knows and gets along with.

She waves sheepishly at Aomi and Kiwami. "My fault. I brought up I'll have been here a year in October and wanted to celebrate it somehow."

[ Two little swats to the pom and she's happy, reclining back on her feet. ]

Because it was fun. I liked how it all looked...

[ Her smile gets nostalgic. ]

Besides, it reminded me of Roxas. So I thought it'd be nice to have a happier memory about him and Artemis.
unlucky7: (STATUS :: Well...)

[personal profile] unlucky7 2019-05-10 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh. Oh. Yeah. Ginia knows who he is. The conversation was months ago, but the god name is distinctive enough (as was the topic) it stands out in her memory. A slow sigh escapes as Ginia slightly buries her face into her phone. It takes a second or two before she recovers enough to write.

"By any chance, did he ever get a hold of a gun?"

"Dust..." Sighing, she reaches over to lightly thwack at his hand with one of her own. "I can help you with both of those areas. You can use the shinki sanctuary, at least until you find somewhere better, and we do match up services. I'll even help a little more by posting on the BBS about it. As for money..."

Well, she's not really in a position for that too much, but she does press the tips of her fingers to one cheek. "Hm. Wasn't Ginia talking about her temple needing workers or something?"
pure_radiantics: (convo] how nice.)

[personal profile] pure_radiantics 2019-05-10 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She nods. First of three, sadly. Rxoas, Hajime, and now Leo. ]

That's what I thought too.

[ She's glad that he understands and isn't... making fun of her for wearing it, or saying it doesn't fit the rules. Romeo didn't seem the type anyway, but it's nice all the same. ]

I have so many happy memories of that time with him... I'd hate to always miss him and never remember those better memories.

"That's right!" Of course, with that in mind, he'll have to really think carefully on what things might not be obvious to someone to whom cell phones are completely new. He hadn't had too much difficulty himself in figuring them out, but that didn't mean everyone would have so easy a time.

Considering mochi, he taps his finer against his arm. "Hm. That might be a little difficult, it's true... We'll have to see if they come pre-packaged. I bet there are convenient stores which have a lot of good snacks we could try."
kokuyoyo: (I don't do stupid things anymore.)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2019-05-10 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
...Well. For all that Chikusa would argue with a few points in that argument, he can't deny that it strikes a little close to home in other aspects. His lips thin for a second before he goes back to focusing on his food. No more answers, just stuffing his face.

It's genuinely not a thing he thinks he can answer... so he almost hopes that if he just focuses on eating, Romeo will go away. That's... how it works, right?

"Nope!" Holding out the sides of her dress, Wendy hurries her pace until she's trotting alongside him, huffing and frowning. "Workaholics are the type of people who are obsessed with work, even when there's no reason to be or it's bad for them! The kind of people who don't eat when they should, or don't have hobbies, or anything besides working!" That's something she doesn't have to worry about Hibiki, at least.

Her god is just dumb in other ways.
chibisu: (technoheart-archive, tumblr) (...but it's a lot.)

[personal profile] chibisu 2019-05-10 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
That's definitely it, and Ebisu gives a nod. "I suppose sometimes the body has to compensate. I wonder what my other incarnations did to make sure that they were good fighters..." If only he could ask his shinki, or anyone, really. However, with the reason for his forced reincarnation, well...

Shaking his hands a little bit to help them loosen up, he nods. "To start, I have to defeat making a bookmark!" That's not how it works, but, fine.
chibisu: (technoheart-archive, tumblr) (I can be killed.)

[personal profile] chibisu 2019-05-10 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Aomi chuckles a little bit at that. "That only gives us a few months to celebrate, doesn't it? Although at least we do have all of summer."

"That should be enough time," Ebisu proclaims while Kiwami sidles over to get a better look at the math he's doing, "both for finding a large enough place and for convincing people to take up more work for our temple!" That part will be the most vital, and it works out for all of them if it's successful. All Ebisu has to do is make sure it's manageable...

Well, he'll work it out. There's no point in quitting before even reaching the starting line.
kokuyoyo: (And the cops are back.)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2019-05-10 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[...Oh fuck, he's dealing with something sentimental now. Why does it always come down to sentimental with Kairi? Chikusa is pretty sure this can't be good for his health, dealing with this kind of thing all the time. He gives a long slow blink.]

...Yeah. [S. Sure? He's not entirely sure what to say here.] So you had... all of that on hand then...

"I promise I would be perfectly happy with a potluck picnic in a park and not having to think about whatever crisis is going on for a few hours." Her needs are simple. Friends, good food, and peace of mind. If she could get Kimi alone for a few hours, that would be nice too, but those are things she will never admit in front of her god and her boyfriend's ex.

Mostly, she's a little afraid they might try to arrange that too.

But there is a point in there and it's been a constant worry.

"I wonder if there's a way to bring more people in to help out? New people aside, I think everyone here that's willing to help is already helping."

My charms aren’t so easily set aside.

[ There is almost a grimace here as she considers the whole.....issue......of interacting with mortals. But never let it be said Shikyoin Hibiki can be conquered! Not by invisibility, by a scrap-heap puniverse, nothing! When her attempts at honest payment fall flat, SHE DONS A MANTLE AND PLUNDERS WHAT SHE WANTS! This is what is called “genius!” ]

Though this puniverse boorishly prevents bathing in my presence to their hearts’ content, the flame of worship, once kindled, is unquenchable.

Right. That way they don't go to waste, even the little and oddly shaped pieces can still be used.

[Kind of like a puzzle, just without a 'proper' solution.]
