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!
pure_radiantics: (convo] how nice.)

[ Kairi arrives dressed in a flowing white dress and an ornate horned headdress, carrying a recurve bow that she managed to keep this whole time after Roxas bequeathed it to her when his temple disappeared.

Since she doesn't know Elfnein very well, she wanders over to her to chat about things first. ]


Hello there! What a fun party this is shaping up to be! And Romeo's spoken so highly of you, I just had to come.

You must be one of Romeo's friends then.

[ Romeo going off and speaking highly of Elfnein, it's a tad bit embarrassing since she told him that she was just going about things like she always did. ]

Please enjoy the party, there's food and if you have a book you want to tell people about we have a theater for it with chairs and other props.
pure_radiantics: (convo] hopeful smiling)

[ Her hands go to her chest in a fond gesture. ]

He invited me, yes.

[ She's smiling because Romeo seems a lot like her in the sense that most people are friends unless they prove otherwise. ]

I would rather leave the theater to the people really passionate about their books. Maybe if you hosted another event like this in a month or so, I'd be able to find one in my god Leo's massive library.
alchemists: (look at the happy smol)

It doesn't matter what level of passion you have, it's for fun and to just recommend new things to everyone!

[ Though she understands why someone wouldn't want to show off a book they like if they didn't like speaking or presenting in front of others. '

Another event next month? I didn't really consider doing this every month but people are having fun so that could be a good idea.

Oh it was just a suggestion, no big deal. I only meant if I had another month to think about it, I'd probably be able to find a book I was really excited to share. On short notice like when Romeo invited me, I couldn't quite think of one... I was lucky as it was I already had this dress in mind from the wedding shopping.

[ She laughs, a little embarrassed. ]
alchemists: (Smol doing their very best)

I think your outfit gives off a midsummer type of feeling, like the play Midsummer Night's Dream.
pure_radiantics: (convo] huh. interesting.)

[personal profile] pure_radiantics 2019-05-22 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
Huh... I don't think I know that one. Maybe I'll check it out now! A play...

[ She taps her chin. ]

So something people perform on stage?
alchemists: (Happy)

Plays can be read, they have scripts that actors use to learn the play.

[ Though it's not as fun as seeing a show in person. ]
