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!

[ Nanako is very excited about getting to do arts and crafts and is hard at work making her own pair of bookmarks. She's got a pair formed out of pink craft paper and is currently very carefully making yellow and white flowers to decorate its surface with.

She glances up at Elfnein's offer with a smile. ]


I think I have enough, Elfnein! How are your bookmarks coming?
alchemists: (Maria stop lecturing on strength)

I've managed to make a few, but there's still a lot left that need to get made.

[ Though she did manage to finish the one she wanted to give to Nanako, there's a cat and dog made out of different colored paper and lots of glitter on it. ]

Here, I made one for you to take home.

[ Nanako's mouth drops open in surprise. ]

You made one for me? Really?
alchemists: (everything is alright)

[personal profile] alchemists 2019-04-15 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, it's because I thought you would like one and it's a matching set so I made another one in different colors for myself.

Ahhhh! [ She looks delighted. ] So we're gonna have matching ones, Elfnein? What a cool idea! I love it! That makes it extra special!
alchemists: (clap)

[personal profile] alchemists 2019-04-23 05:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm glad you like it! I didn't know if anyone would like a matching set but it's something simple to remember today by.

I would, if it's with you, Elfnein. [ She props her chin in her palm, inadvertently spreading more glitter around. ] That makes it extra special.
alchemists: (Happy :D ~)

[personal profile] alchemists 2019-04-28 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm really happy you think that way! I want everyone to walk away with a feeling of enjoyment today.

[ Don't worry, the glitter is going to be stuck to everything for weeks.]

[ Nanako's not worried, at least she loves glitter? ]

I think everyone's having lots of fun so far!
alchemists: (SG is the cool aunt)

I'll have to thank Romeo when everything is over, it was his idea to throw this party. I just helped out for the most part.

[personal profile] welcome_home 2019-05-08 01:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Was it? He has really good ideas, huh?
alchemists: (It's no problem)

[personal profile] alchemists 2019-05-14 04:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Romeo is far better at using his imagination then me, I envy it honestly.

[ Nanako reaches over to pat her arm consolingly. ]

Maybe he just had more practice? I bet you could practice more, too!

I really wouldn't know where to start, it's not something that comes naturally to me.

[ It's what happens when you're not a normal 10 year old. ]
