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! ]

[ There is no need for pity. It's not that big of a loss.

He tips his head to the side, taps his cheek with a gloved finger, and hums thoughtfully. ]

I did watch that one---movie? that Miss Hibiki made!

[ He even participated! Which was one of the reasons why he made sure to show up to the showing. ]

[ Minako can understand watching Hibiki's movie, because it was amazing and great and a cinematic wonder. Which is half due to the personal bias of Minako being in it as well, and half due to the bias she has regarding Hibiki just being amazing at everything.

But regardless-- ]

Just that?! [ That still can't be all! Even if you watch the most amazing movie in existence, that's still only one movie! ] No wonder you didn't even really know what was the good or bad thing to do.. You just haven't experienced enough movie tropes!

[ Yes, because clearly those make you a better person with more knowledge of everything. ]

[ Don't flatter Hibiki too much or she might one day explode from that ego of hers.

Obi blinks rapidly, then slowly at her, with wide eyes at her reaction to his answer. ]

Uh... Is that important?

Yes! That's how you learn about the world and everything that goes on in it!

[ She may not be teaching him the right things here exactly.. but it's not with any malicious intent, this is just genuinely a Good Idea in Minako's mind. ]

Clearly you should come over sometime to watch movies with me! [ And also have some quality friendship time. ]

I do? I didn't know- So have I been learning everything wrong until now, Miss Minako?

[ Well, he'll play along, at least. From the memories that he has, he knows his world doesn't even have movies and the like. ]

Uhm, yeah, sure, I guess I can do that, Miss.

Great, then all we have to do is decide what to work on first! Maybe more on what's good or evil? Or maybe.. friendship, or romance! [ Her voice rises in pitch with every suggestion she comes up with, making it very clearly with where her priorities lie.

(It's definitely the latter.)

She wouldn't protest to any of those things though. ]

Whatever you find is the best to start with, Miss. I can't say I would know.

[ Plus, let her have her fun, is what he figures. She's sure rearing up a happy storm about this, so why not? ]

Well, I always think romance is the best. [ She sure isn't keeping that very secret. ]

So we could watch a romantic comedy! Maybe a classic, like a really poor person falling in love with a really rich person.

Uh-huh, sure, Miss. [ She's hardly a secretive person anyway. ]

Oh. That does feel a little familiar. It's not the most realistic thing, is it? But I guess that's partly why it's a thing in stories?

How is that not realistic? It could totally happen in reality!

[ Maybe in her dreams. But Minako seems convinced as she speaks either way. ]

If I did my best, I totally could get a rich person to fall for me! I mean, who could resist, right?

Well, it's just it seems a little bit farfetched is all.

[ But he won't change her mind, he knows that. ]

Mm, yeah, I'm sure you could pull it off Miss.

I am the Magical Detective Loveline!
