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!

"Perfect!" With a bounce in what's already a skip, Wendy comes closer to browse along the selves. "They go higher up, right? Do you use ladders, or something else?"

Sure, she could use her weighted wire to get around, because it certainly wouldn't be hard, or just scale things all on her own... but she guesses she should try to be a little considerate of someone's own library.

Rocking on her heels, Wendy perks up when Romeo comes back. "Wow, that was quick! Ah, let's see...." Craning her head back, she raises her hand and traces them through the air along each shelf.

"From the beginning would be the best, right? We just have to figure out where the exact beginning is for all these books."

"Of course!" Dusting herself off and not worried at all that her outfit is more girly than "meant for shenanigans", Wendy grins. "Everything has to start at the beginning. Anyway, we've already gotten that ladder, right?"

"Then I'll trust you on that one." Although even as she says that, Wendy is careful for a moment as she tests the ladder with one foot while holding onto it. She's confident in her own abilities, certainly, but a person can really only be as good as the things they use allows them to be. Once she's confident in its sturdiness on its own, she begins to deftly climb up. Compared to the enormous ladders leading up to trapezes, it hardly feels like anything at all.

"Alright down there?"
