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!

[A long pause.]

...No.

[Chikusa, is this even your book-]

I have other ones....

[ D2 peers at Chikusa, an expression of mixed curiosity and amusement on his face. ]

So you just grabbed one at random to be let in, then.

[ He'd probably be let in either way... Maybe he did, grabbed it after getting here. ]

That's not it exactly.... It's not like they're doing searches at the door. Even if they should...

[Children are very easy to murder or take advantage of, which is why Chikusa thinks that none of the ones in the Far Shore are halfway near paranoid enough. It's something he's always known, but it really bugs him when it comes to kid like Nanako and Romeo.]

But this book was around... while the ones I have are in my bag. So.... That was easier to do. Right?

[ He is right about that.. But he also wouldn't want to worry the kids too much, being paranoid has its issues. ]

I guess so, yeah. Sounds reasonable enough to me. Should at least probably make sure you remember the title, perhaps, though.

[Staring blankly, he looks back down at the book and then slowly back up at D2's face.]

...Am I going to be quizzed on it.

[Because that's really the last thing that he needs here.]

[ D2 arches an eyebrow and his lips quirks in amusement. ]

How should I know?
kokuyoyo: (Please don't place wagers on my)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2019-05-01 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
...You asked.

[So clearly D2 would know. That's how this works, right? At any rate, with his food claimed, Chikusa begins shuffling off to the nearest place he can sit down and eat. It doesn't matter if it's the ground or a table, he can make do.]

...I know other books... So it should be fine. Right?
smilingbullet: (C14 Timberwolf)

That doesn't mean I know the answer.

[ You do know D2 is a ridiculous person, right? ]

But I suppose it should be. But if I'm wrong I'm wrong.

[ Maybe he should pick out something to eat, too.. ]
kokuyoyo: (Apparently I kept telling people I was)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2019-05-06 07:59 pm (UTC)(link)
...So I could have lied...

[Not that he would have even then, frankly. Chikusa is the type who is mostly honest because lying takes effort, and this sort of thing isn't nearly important enough to waste energy on that sort of thing.]

Anyway, did you want any actual food... or can I keep going...

[...Can his plate even take any further food?]
