I am the Magical Detective Loveline!

[welcome_home]

Who: Temple Nanshe and Anyone!
When: Evening of June 1st
Where: Temple Nanshe
What: Nanako is hosting a Magical Girl Anime Night and Sleepover! Everyone is invited!


A. We're on the case!

[ Every since Nanako's conversation with Hibiki a few weeks before, she'd been on a mission to locate the entire series of Magical Detective Loveline to have a showing at her temple for friends who had never seen it before. Which is, in her opinion, a Great Tragedy. But finding out that several of her other friends also liked watching similar things, she has since decided to make an entire Event of it.

Temple Nanshe is decorated in a possibly absurd amount of Pink and pastel rainbows for this anime night/sleepover. One of the rooms has been prepared with giant cushions and pillows and blankets for people to sprawl and be able to watch the anime on the large TV set against one of the walls. There's plenty of room for everyone to get comfortable however they like.

The dining room table is laid out with a variety of brightly colored foods including cupcakes cookies and candies, as well as an ice-cream bar with all sorts of colorful toppings. Nanako might have taken this whole Magical Girl theme a little too far, but she's clearly had fun preparing everything for her friends so they could enjoy themselves and tonight's Magical Adventure.

Either way, the Temple is opened up and decked out and ready to host all of Nanako's friends - even the ones she might not have made yet. In honor of the occasion, the hosting goddess herself is dressed up in her very own Magical Detective Loveline cosplay, which people who have known her for a while may have seen her dressed in before.

Show up, mingle, munch, and make yourselves comfy! ]

B. Stop or I'll put a cap in ya!

[ Anyone who has known Nanako for any amount of time has probably heard that Magical Detective Loveline is her absolute favorite person and she takes her fangirling of said Magical Detective very seriously. Which is why she's hosting tonight's party, after learning that several of her friends have never been lucky enough to experience such prime entertainment.

The series itself is about a pink-haired girl who transforms into a magical detective to solve crimes and mysteries in a Sherlock Holmes fashion along with her dapper dog sidekick, who wears a monocle, top hat and cape.

If you weren't expecting the resulting magical shenanigans and ridiculous mysteries that accompany such a premise, you are clearly in need of more magical girl animes in your life. Either way, Nanako hopes you enjoy watching the adventures of her favorite hero with her! ]

C. Sweet Dreams!

[ Knowing the anime viewing could run late into the night, Nanako's temple has been prepared for an all-night sleepover for those who just want to crash after the anime ends. There are bedrolls and futons available to be laid out in the large open living area where they'd all gathered to watch the anime, but there are also several guest bedrooms available, as Nanako's temple is set up like a Japanese B&B. There are hot springs outside should you like to soak and relax before sleeping. Feel free to seek out Nanako or one of her shinki if you need a little help in where to get settled.

Feel free to make yourself at home! ]

i. one.
[ Gralat is feeling immensely out of place in this situation, in this setting. And why wouldn't he? He's a soldier, through and through.

He got dragged into this and now he's apparently meant to stay the night....he's not so sure about that. But, so, his viking-esque outfit is more comfortable casual than working casual, and he's haphazardly gathered his (very, very long) hair in a loose tail.

He's not exactly wide-eyed but... He has a weird expression on his face. Like a mix between disgruntled and constipated. (It's like he's lost, but trying not to look lost.)

A bit of suspicion is added to the expression-blend when he is faced with the peculiar food. Every time he nears it, even. ]

ii. two.
[ When he finds a seat it is a bit off to the side, and he's appearing rigid and uncomfortable. The show is getting a lot of skeptic looks (also he is a stranger to a tv-- his temple doesn't even have one).

This sure isn't his setting at all.

He can be caught muttering suspiciously under his breath, in scowling disbelief, for that matter...though through the first episode he actually does go wide-eyed. He thought these things were like plays even if they were in a box and drawn but the realism is terrible. A child should clearly not be involved with crime solving and animals don't wear clothes and what's with all the--

Plus he's clearly finding the genre very peculiar and a bit (a lot) absurd. ]

iii. three.
[ He'll temporarily disappear from the temple completely before nightfall, but he does return, looking a little bit damper from the outside night air, and he might smell a hint of cow and horse in his clothes and hair. He does have a farm to run, even if it's not particularly huge.

He may secretly (Very, VERY secretly) be somewhat missing the experience of sleeping in the same room as a dozen or more people, or in cramped tents. Not that it's the best thing ever but maybe it'll make him a little less homesick. It's not like he can do anything about this (supposedly) and he keeps thinking about home and the battle he left behind as he tries to sleep normally. A distraction, that's all this is meant to be.

He's been befuddled a lot tonight already, but he's not done yet.

This time it's for a less reasonable reason... He has never seen a futon before, nor has he seen bedrolls in this material before. Synthetic materials is a foreign concept and...well he's had too much weirdness tonight that maybe his reaction is a bit too much.

Instead of rolling out any one of the beddings provided in a corner, he's staring as if he's never seen anything so weird. ]

What?

[ A deep sigh. He pinches the bridge of his nose. Looks back at this. Maybe his eyes are just strained from this whole unfamiliar thing with staring at all the color splashes and all and he can't really think... ]

What. It's not even freezing temperature..

[ To say Nanako had been a little surprised to see him show up would have been an understatement. She's pretty much assumed at this point that "grumpy" is his perpetual state of being, but she hadn't expected him to come to a party to watch a magical girl anime. Maybe he secretly really liked magical girls? That could be, she supposed.

But she watches him all night and he seems like he doesn't know what to think of any of this, so she's a little concerned that he's not having any fun. And then he vanishes for a while and she wonders if he really did give up and go home.

But then he's back and she spots him as she bustles between getting everyone settled. Only he... doesn't seem to be getting settled? He's just standing there looking grumpy and not doing anything.

Which finally prompts her to come investigate, wondering what might be wrong now. ]

Are you okay? What's wrong? Do you need help with your futon?

[snowywolf]

[ It's been a weird night in a weird last couple of ... days and then some more days. He's already been in this place for too long.

Staving off boredom is as good as anything, isn't it?

He turns his gaze toward Nanako, a quiet glance that stays blankly confused for some time. ]

I'm fine. [ A reflexive retort, as much as anything. His scowls deepen a little. ] Futon? [ (He is probably not pronouncing that exactly right.) ]
