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'm SO GLAD you picked Kamisama Kiss

Nanako's mouth drops open as she listens, fascinated. ]


A snake can be an idol? Really?

I mean... It's a comic. So I guess it can be anything it wants to be.

[Chikusa pauses, blinking at the sheer amount of weirdos at this one party.]

...Maybe here too... since it makes as much sense as anything else...

[Hibiki is an idol, after all, and Chikusa doesn't really see the appeal there. Then again, he doesn't see the appeal in most idols. He's co-dependently married to his boyfriend and also gay, so the window is narrow.]

...But this one can turn into a human for a while. So he hides that he's a snake.

Ohhhh! I see! [ Sort of. ] That seems like a fun thing to be an idol! Even if being an idol is really hard work...

[ ...Speaking from experience much? ]
kokuyoyo: (Please don't place wagers on my)

It sounds tiresome and annoying.

[Which is the least surprising thing to come out of Chikusa's mouth ever.]

...So I don't think I'd want to be the idol.

[ That makes her giggle, because yes, that is the most Chikusa answer. ]

It's not that bad. You have to practice a lot to be really good at it, though. but getting to get up in front of everyone and making them all really happy feels like the best thing ever! Even if that's a little scary, too...

...Can't relate.

[Chikusa still has no idea what he's doing about his own happiness, and what that even feels like, actually. Other people can wait their fucking turn, as far as he's concerned.]

And it still feels like too much work. Although I guess I don't... have to do idol training when dressing up...
