🌸 sunshine, she's here, you can take a break

WHO: Everyone!! :D
WHAT: A get-to-know-you-together!
WHEN: end of August
WHERE: shinrin-yoku, Sunwaning
WARNINGS: None for now!


[ The past week, Ayaka and Aether made an announcement on the network, inviting everyone interested to make friends and meet new people to the shinrin-yoku teahouse the following weekend. Well, this is it! The time has come! ]



Welcome
🌸 shinrin-yoku seems like a simple tea house upon entering, with a large wooden sliding door that's already opened for guests to enter.

Ayaka will be the one to personally greet her guests, offering three possible areas for seating– the traditional Inazuman set up, the space for where you can let your legs down and not kneel while seated, or outside in the gardens. Familiar faces may be abound, and guests may like to walk around and see the interior, perhaps even say hello to the manager who is walking around and sniffing people here and there.

For future endeavours, Ayaka informs guests that they may use the shinrin-yoku for business gatherings and meetings. Members of Ayato's committee are more than welcome to use the shinrin-yoku, and may even become a place for exchanging information and the like. The tea house promises to be a safe place to all.

And for this particular gathering, Ayaka is not only serving tea, but also sake. It never hurts to make things more fun!


Konpeito, Truth, or Dare
🌸 All guests, upon entering, will be given a small clear glass container. They will also be presented with a giant bowl containing konpeito. They must take at least one, and as many as they could possibly want, and put it inside their own container. They are told not to eat any for now, but no one's really stopping them from doing so!

At some point during the occasion, a game is announced. Everyone is told to check their konpeito and count how many they have! Now, they must pick a partner and play a couple of rounds of truth or dare with them. Every time they get a turn, whether they pick truth or dare, they can eat a piece of candy! Or eat three or five at the same time Once they've had five rounds, though, then they have to choose another partner and start over until they've finished their konpeito bowls.

There is an added rule to the konpeitos, but not necessarily required to be followed! A white konpeito must have a truth or dare related to family, green for a "favourite", yellow for love or sex, orange for childhood or childlike-ness, and pink for "hate".

Ringo (Ayaka's Eevee) and Taroumaru will be watching people and make sure they aren't cheating! Though sometimes, they may not be looking, and can even be bribed with snacks. Participants who can finish their konpeito in an hour (which we'll conveniently handwave) will receive a box of sakura mochi to take home.


Introduction Bingo
🌸 Guests are given bingo cards to fill up at some point during the afternoon! Pens are also provided, or if they have their own, then that's cool!

Participants may put someone's name twice on any of the squares, but more than that, and it won't count. The objective is to get a blackout by filling out names of people who fit the description! How one does this is completely up to them. They could even slip it into their conversations during the truth or dare games, or just randomly walk up to people and ask them things.


Two Twists and a Lie
🌸 A card is given to participants for them to write two truths and one lie on it, then they have to pin or stick it to the back of their clothing. When someone wants to play, they must first challenge you to a game of janken. If you win, you get to turn the game around and guess which is the lie on their card. If they win, then they're entitled to one guess! If they get it wrong, you have to play janken again.

So, what happens when the person gets it right? The person can now make a rule that the other person has to follow. Whether it means they have to call you "Master", end all their sentences with "yes, please", or some other rule that you can think of! And in case you can't think of anything, there's a box nearby with cute props that you can make the loser wear: cat ears, a cat tail, bunny ears, a bunny tail, a raccoon kigurumi, and some goofy glasses.

[ Reiner nods in acknowledgment, then starts plucking konpeito from his bowl. ]

No yellow is easy enough. I'm Reiner, by the way. Reiner Braun.

[ He holds out nine konpeitoβ€”none of which are yellowβ€”to deposit into the person's bowl. ]

Here. This way, you'll have enough for a few rounds with me and someone else. [ Then: ] Do you want a handshake or anything before we start? I don't want you turning to stone.

[ No matter how odd this person may look to Reiner's eyes, they seem perfectly nice. If they're not accustomed to touch, they may not be getting enough in this worldβ€”hence the offer. Besides, Reiner isn't shy about physical contact. ]

I am Purple Mage, though just "Purple" by itself suffices.

[... Yeah, that wasn't just a username, that's their actual name.
And they give Reiner a polite dip of their head as a nod in thanks, bowl held out (also via magic) to take those little sugar stars.]


That won't be necessary, but thank you for your concern. Thankfully, while it is still difficult for me, I have made friends who will not allow me to turn into stone.
It is as stressful as it sounds, but I recognize it is also for my own good.

[Though, that's followed with a brief pause in thought.]

... Unless you need it? Humans do have an interesting habit of offering things that they need, themselves, rather than asking directly.

[ Ponders for a beat. ]

I mostly just got beaten unconscious and then dumped in a cell? But we've got shackles, too.

[Absolutely. Wanderer does want to have some bragging rights.]

I don't think I ever want to be one again. I was never meant for godhood to begin with. [He finishes his tea and moves to refill his cup carefully.] Yet, that does not mean I cannot stomp any worm back into the ground anymore.

[He flashes Aether a grin.]

Heh. A once in a 163 samsaras fluke.

Then the game wouldn't be much fun.

A little daring is necessary to move forward, is it not?
littlesilhouettoofaman: (oh?)

[personal profile] littlesilhouettoofaman 2023-09-08 11:01 am (UTC)(link)
[Hm? Wanderer blinks and looks at Ayaka. Is that so? Perhaps his knowledge about Inazuman etiquette got a bit muddled over time.]

I wouldn't see it that way. It is merely a warning. After all, how would it reflect on Aether if others would find me unpleasant without warning them first?

[Finally he does grab the bowl given to him. There is only one konpeito inside of it.]

Your house, your rules.
littlesilhouettoofaman: (pls end me and my tea)

[personal profile] littlesilhouettoofaman 2023-09-08 11:21 am (UTC)(link)
[The look on Wanderer's face changes from a bored one, to a tired one and finally into a somewhat annoyed one.]

I don't think I care about that.

[A silence.]

No, I don't care about that.

[The stick can definitely be used for worms like you, Yuri.]

[Few have suspected anything, but even when confronted he would never confirm it to them. This is probably the first time when he speaks so openly about it to someone who isn't Paimon.

...Well, not as openly as he could, but still!]


Oh, definitely. More than you could imagine. [For the better or worse.] But other than that, I'm no different than any other human.

[Coming to Teyvat, he still had a lot of new things to learn, too.]

Reiner's not wrong; Eren would just bounce if he really didn't want to be somewhere. It wouldn't even occur to him to stay to be polite.

He shakes his head. "Coffee's gross," he says, but he's not really judging. He's had it a few times off and on. It's better from the shops with cream and sugar (and chocolate or whatever) but he still doesn't have a taste for it.

"Good," he says. He doesn't offer anything about people he's met (only Ayaka is new to him, really), but he continues, "They do taste good. Sweet."

Looking down at his own remaining candies, he asks, "You wanna play?"

[ What a kind SOLDIER soul♥ His forgiveness will be important...because Nen's gonna Nen, even on the best of days. There is no predicting their Nenoninity.

They look pleased to see he's identified Chipp, already puffing their chest up with less-than-subtle pride. ]


Really? He's nothing like anything in my old world. He is a Grim Reaper--so he is already dead, but that is okay. He is very warm, and he is very kind.

[ He makes sure Kenta is kept on Nen's cuddle schedule and everything...! Very important duties, you see. Perfect measure of one's character. ]

Do you have weirder things than Grim Reapers where you come from, Cloud?
roundandaround: Fangirling. (this is so cool)

[personal profile] roundandaround 2023-09-08 06:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Uhh... hmm... Oh, right! Me, because we were talking because you did a truth thing. Then I pick truth!
mayoninofukucho: (Really?)

[personal profile] mayoninofukucho 2023-09-08 06:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[That's bleak!! But then again it's not like Hijikata himself is above such methods... and, more importantly--]

What'd they put you in for?

[Wasn't Yuri a guild adventurer? Why'd the cops in his homeworld go after him? Also why is this bingo game turning into a near-interrogation...]

[Aether is silent for another moment or two.]

You know, if you were Childe I would assume you're trying to challenge me to a fight.

[In this case, he's just not sure what the other is aiming for.]
startraveler: (you sure you don't need help?)

[personal profile] startraveler 2023-09-08 07:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[that really sounds like it may take a while.]

A song that never ends, huh... Is it something you came up with yourself?
at_heart: (huh :: having fun back there?)

[personal profile] at_heart 2023-09-08 07:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, you don't want my full rap sheet. [ Waving that idea away!! ] It took like an hour to go through the whole thing back home.

[ Whatever impression Flynn might have given you, Yuri is here to ruin it! ...But he's being a lot more careful with his words than his dry demeanor would have you think. ]

The last beating was... nominally for breaking and entering, I guess?

[ Turning a grin on Hijitaka. ]

But maybe I should save some ammunition for Truth or Dare? Call it a pink question or whatever.

I don't really…have any hobbies, I guess.

[ He's thought about this before and it's still lame as hell. He knows that! But he didn't expect to be alive, so what do you do when you outlive your life expectancy, find out your titan curse isn't going to kill you in three more years, and aren't a soldier here? Good question. ]

I learned to make cookies. Is that a better answer?

[ But anyway!

Of course it's yellow. What is he even supposed to ask…
]

Uh…where's your favourite place to be kissed? Not mouth.

[Damn, Yuri is turning out to be a total delinquent... (never mind that Hijikata was no better in his youth, before he became a cop). Luckily none of whatever Yuri trouble got into back home falls under his jurisdiction here, so he can sort of ignore all that (even though it totally informs his opinion of him). At his suggestion, though, he shakes his head.]

No more 'Truth or Dare' for me, sorry. I've got no candy left.

[He gulped it down by the handful with the first one or two people he played with, wanting to get out of it as fast as possible! 'Truth or Dare' is a dangerous game, and if he'd known what the candy was for, he'd only have taken one piece in the first place!]
at_heart: (wry :: is that a fact)

[personal profile] at_heart 2023-09-08 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Too bad.

[ He does, in fact, often look like an overgrown delinquent. Not tonight so much, though; he cleaned up pretty for Ayaka's tea house.

Leaning back on (whatever's convenient, wall or table), though, Yuri smiles for Hijitaka. ]


You can still ask, though. Supposed to be getting to know each other, right?

[ Beat. ]

Could tell you the Imperial Knights used to be kind of a cesspit of corruption and classism, but I've admitted to being a criminal, right? You've gotta take my word with a grain of salt.
at_heart: (sly :: i'll take you at your word)

[personal profile] at_heart 2023-09-08 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I'll take 'baking'. That's a totally valid answer.

[ The most helpful.

But then you keep talking, and, well. ]


...Oh, Eren. Why would I have wanted to pick on the mouth.

[ Has he seemed shy to you, ]
mayoninofukucho: (I'm just sitting here.)

[personal profile] mayoninofukucho 2023-09-08 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yuri certainly made more of an effort than Hijikata, who just threw on his plain black kimono. Despite not doing anything impolite or untoward, he's increasingly getting under Hijikata's skin, simply by merit of coming across as a mix of blasΓ© and sharp in a way that puts the samurai on edge. Does he remind him of anyone..? He can't put his finger on it.]

It doesn't matter if I believe you or not, does it? But for what it's worth, I do.

[By now he's been part of no less than 4 law enforcement organisations on as many worlds, his Shinsengumi back home included, and while all of them acted conscientiously in the spirit of the law, he knows what corruption and classism look like. He's seen it in his shogunate, in the elite Mimawarigumi, hell, even in the Shinsengumi (though they managed to root the rotten apples out, albeit at a cost).]

"Used to be", though... who cleaned them up? Flynn?

[Isn't he an Imperial Knight? He definitely is a good guy through and through for all Hijikata can tell; he practically emanates heroism, and without any bombast to boot.]

[ SHRUG, what does he know! ]

I dunno. That's not an answer.

[ He tries not to be embarrassed but he's never played this game! Sexy stuff is way easier in text. ]
