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-It doesn't sound like you know that for sure, Romeo!

[ But it checks with what she's seen in a few movies, not that she's willing to accept it. Still, by his description of lords and ladies, Mordred wouldn't qualify as either. She has no carriage, no horse, and the big house she lives in belongs to Yuna technically. On top of all that she certainly isn't rich. ]

Whatever, I suppose just "Saber" is fine...

[ Don't mind her just being a pouty child over here, Romeo. ]

I-I said it's fine already!

[ Although that particular detail had slipped her mind since she doesn't use such respectful terms when speaking to gods. It makes her regret bringing titles up in the first place since it's just ended in her embarrassment. She thought arguing with a child would be bad but losing an argument is so much worse.

Her mood soured and her pride stung, Mordred turns her attention to the library entrance. ]


There's food inside, right?

[ May as well change the subject to save some face. ]

[ It doesn't show in her expression but the confirmation of vast quantities of free food improves her mood immensely. She opens her mouth to answer his question but finds she actually doesn't have one. ]

Huh... I've never really considered having a favorite. I like burgers, steak, lasagne, ramen, pies, ice cream, chocolate.

[ And she would eat all of those things at the same time. When potatoes, bread and occasionally unspiced meat were all you ate while alive you come to appreciate just about everything else the modern era has to offer. ]

I can't imagine just picking one thing. What about you? Do you have a favorite?
