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!

Did you learn how to do them all by yourself?

[ She props her chin in her palm, which ends up with some more glitter on her face, but she doesn't mind. She's too fascinated by his craft. ]

Iiii.. Think I might've? I don't know, exactly.

[ Maybe he did- he sure didn't learn it from his family, he knows that much. He has a vague sense that he might have learned it from another soldier. ]

[ Realizing she might have asked something she shouldn't, she quickly tries to change the subject. ]

Do you think it's hard to learn?

It depends. I guess it depends on how much you practice. Would you like to try to fold something?

[ He's guessing that's what she's building up to? ]

[ Nanako looks down at her hands for a moment before spreading them out between them. ]

I dunno. Can I? Your fingers are lots bigger than mine are.

I think your fingers will manage just as fine. Hmmmm, how do you like birds?

[personal profile] welcome_home 2019-05-03 01:02 pm (UTC)(link)
I like birds a lot!

[ She smiles brightly at this question. ]

My temple is full of pellycans, do they count?

[personal profile] smilingbullet 2019-05-03 05:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Pelicans definitely count. Should we give one a try?

[personal profile] welcome_home 2019-05-08 12:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Can we? [ Now she really looks delighted! ] I wanna make a pellycan! I like them a lot!

...Even if Chikusa thinks they're gonna eat me one day.
