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!

... Eh?

[Chris frowns, looking concerned.]

I don't think kids should be drinking that much coffee. Or not sleeping. Promise me you won't let her have any more and that you'll both get some rest once this is over.

It's not bad, but too much of it can be bad for kids who are growing up. Also, it can make you miss sleep.

[She glares at him a bit. She already knows the answer to the question she's about to ask.]

She does that a lot, doesn't she?

[The face Chris makes... is not a pleasant expression.]

Yeah, well. We're going to have to do something about that, then.

I mean, we have to make sure Elfnein takes care of herself, right? She's still growing.

[And she glares at Romeo.] And so are you.

Good. I'm gonna hold you to it.

[She shakes her head.]

Look, Romeo, I know Elfnein. I know her bad habits. It's natural for me to want to look after her, alright?

... Don't feel bad about yourself, either. You're just a kid, and I'm sure you've done the best job you could.

[personal profile] trustheart 2019-05-18 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but no one's perfect at everything. When I started here, I didn't even want or know how to be a god. You know now, though, right? That's the important thing.

... I'm not sure I'd go that far. But. Thanks, Romeo.
trustheart: (007)

[personal profile] trustheart 2019-05-20 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
Heh, alright. I'll see you around later, then?

Take care.

[And she waves him off, before laughing to herself and moving on.]
