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 can't help but giggle when she hears Ebisu's comment and spots the spilled glitter around him.

Propping her chin in one palm, she grins at him from across the table. ]


You're gonna be sparkly for days now!

For days...

[Cupping a hand to his chin- which spreads even more glitter to his face now, Ebisu no- he frowns a little bit before nodding.]

Well, so long as the glitter doesn't get onto anything important that might have to be scanned or copied, than it should be fine, I would think. Actually, even then, it should be fine. I don't think there's any glitter in production that would interfere to such a degree.

...Although everything is really sticky now. It... seems like it'll be hard to clean up...

[ She hides a giggle behind her hand before fixing him with a mock-serious expression, as if imparting him with a very important piece of knowledge.

...It's somewhat ruined by the fact that there's also glitter on her chin. And the tip of her nose. ]


I think glitter just likes getting everywhere. Especially places it's not supposed to be. It can't be stopped.

But it's not a sentient thing, so it can't just make decisions like that!

[He sounds positively aghast. That's not allowed, glitter!!!]

[ She just gives him a very serious look and nods. ]

Are you sure? I mean, it's glitter. Just look at it! It goes wherever it wants!
chibisu: (technoheart-archive, tumblr) (...but it's a lot.)

[personal profile] chibisu 2019-04-24 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)
That's not allowed.

[Despite having a list of incarnations many centuries old, Ebisu manages to look like a proper child as he puffs out his cheeks. Glitter shouldn't be allowed to do that. It shouldn't.]

Who lets it do that? It needs better restraint.

[personal profile] welcome_home 2019-04-26 12:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Glitter lets itself do that! [ She tries not to giggle when he puffs his cheeks out in indignation. ] I don't think it listens to rules. Maybe it even breaks them on purpose!
chibisu: (technoheart-archive, tumblr) (...but it's a lot.)

[personal profile] chibisu 2019-04-30 03:21 pm (UTC)(link)
That's rude.

[At least, when Ebisu is just trying to work with it to make a bookmark. He can understand a little rulebreaking otherwise, although he doesn't say that out loud.]

Maybe it would listen to the right god. Although I don't think there's a god of glitter....

I don't think there is either. [ She hums, thinking about that real hard. ] Is there a god of shiny things?
chibisu: (technoheart-archive, tumblr) (I don't know what's going on...)

[personal profile] chibisu 2019-05-06 06:28 pm (UTC)(link)
A god of shiny things...

[That's a good point, and such a vague descriptor could describe a lot of things, Ebisu thinks. Gods of beauty and art shine in their own way, whether literal or metaphorical. Gods of wealth like himself shine with coin. But if he had to name a god that "shines"....]

[His gaze drifts around until he finds a purple goat robot.]


....Apollo-sama?

[personal profile] welcome_home 2019-05-08 01:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Her mouth drops open. ]

Really? Is that what she's the god of?

[ ....Nanako actually has no idea what she's the god of. She just has really smart goat friends. ]
chibisu: (technoheart-archive, tumblr) (As my action I lawyer up.)

[personal profile] chibisu 2019-05-08 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, Apollo-sama is a god of the sun, and that shines, doesn't it? Apollo is also most notably a god of the arts, musically or otherwise, and I'm certain that counts.

[Maybe not in this... exact... way... but listen. If they're talking about things that sparkle and shine, he doesn't think there's anyone which beats out Hibiki.]

Not to mention she's a God of Fortune now as well! I'm certain that must have a connection!

Hibiki does have lots of shiny.... everything!

[ Look, your logic sounds right to Nanako, she'd believe it. ]

Maybe Hibiki's the one that made the glitter go everywhere, though. I think she likes everything shiny.
chibisu: (technoheart-archive, tumblr) (The fact that I'm legally an adult)

[personal profile] chibisu 2019-05-15 04:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Perhaps it's something that we should bring up to her. After all, if she is the one responsible for such a thing, then it would make it easier to do these crafts.

[A pause, and then he beams.]

And if she isn't, I'm sure it would be very entertaining.

[ebisu no]

[ Nanako just giggles in delight at this. ]

Oh, yeah! Hibiki's really funny, huh?

[ Hibiki probably didn't intend to be found that way, however. ]

Have you met her goats yet? They're really smart!
chibisu: (technoheart-archive, tumblr) (I keep putting the back of this pen)

[personal profile] chibisu 2019-05-26 11:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hibiki probably has a lot of things she'd rather be seen as, but, unfortunately for her, the eyes of the babes see past it all. Ebisu beams right back.]

She's an excellent performer, true to form for Apollo! However, I've only seen her goats a few times. I haven't had the pleasure of getting to be more properly acquainted.
