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!

I mean, with how dressing up was encouraged and all, we really should have a cat walk! Half the fun in dressing up is getting to show off a little, right?

[That's not the performer in her speaking or anything.]

And at least it sounds exciting! If a story is boring, then there's hardly any point to it.

Shame there isn't one, then, and that neither of us can conjure one magically.

[ It would be cool to be an actual wizard, really. ]

There are points to them, probably, at least, not that that makes boring stories any less boring.

I mean. We could always make one. All it would take is a few tables pushed together, and some makeshift stairs that could get people up on them. I'm sure we could figure something out.

[Never say die, and all that. Besides, Wendy feels she knows a lot on how to make a spectacle without spending a lot.]

So is Howl one of the witches or what? Since it is "Howl's" moving castle.

We could do that, you're right. It'll not take too much effort, might need to shoulder some people aside though.

[ But he wouldn't mind. It could be fun. ]

He is a wizard, so almost. It's a very magical castle, looks pretty awesome in the movie.

Or we could just ask Elfnein and Romeo, right? I mean, since this whole thing is their idea, they'd probably be all about adding some more stuff to it.

[Wendy has no problems with forcing her way through things, but sometimes that's just not necessary. She's pretty sure that is doubly so when the hosts are just kids themselves.]

oooh, so there's a movie, huh? That's kind of like a sign of success, right?

Or that. It'd probably be fine with them.

[ They wouldn't want to ruin things for them, after all. ]

By Studio Ghibli, there are some differences but it's really beautiful. They're really good at beautiful art and story telling.

Never heard of them!

[Hibiki is all about sophistication, which means no cartoons or really animated features of any kind. Wendy isn't even sure if she actually likes opera or tea ceremony or... whatever. But that doesn't change what's in the house.]

[Along with, you know, idols, but, whatever.]


It seems like they're popular, however.
