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

[mistsplitter]

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.

[Amy’s gonna carry her bowl of konpeito around curiously before sitting down at a table. What an interesting game and such adorable candies!]

[kerontribution]

Oh, Amy. Are you here to play?

[freedomfighterhammer]

Yes, I am! You, too?

[kerontribution]

Oryou is here to eat candy. But also to play.

[freedomfighterhammer]

Hee! We can do both, then! You know how to play?

[kerontribution]

Oryou knows the rules. Oryou picks dare.

[And she happily munches on a yellow konpeito.]

[freedomfighterhammer]

[Amy blushes as she realizes what candy she munched on.]

I dare you to give me any sort of affection! Any kind, I don’t mind!

[Sorry, there’s people here and she’s running through ideas like a bat outta heck!]

[kerontribution]

Okaaay.

[Oryou has to actually land on the floor to be on the right level to squish Amy into a hug. The things she does for you.]

[freedomfighterhammer]

[And Amy giggles as she returns the hug.]

I’d suggest other things, but I panicked. Maybe next time.

[And she’ll quickly reach over to grab a green candy to eat.]

[kerontribution]

Next time more. [Hopefully they don't get thrown out for Oryou's antics.]

Truth or dare?

[freedomfighterhammer]

Truth this time!

[kerontribution]

What do you like about Ellipsa the most?

[freedomfighterhammer]

The areas! They’re so diverse, it’s amazing! It makes you wanna stay here longer!

[kerontribution]

Oryou agrees. It's hard to get bored of here.

[freedomfighterhammer]

It really is, isn’t it? We should go visit more places later on.

[kerontribution]

We should, it'll be fun.

Oryou picks truth now.

[freedomfighterhammer]

Let’s flip the script - what don’t you like about this world?

[kerontribution]

Oryou's husband isn't here.

[It's the obvious answer, but really, what else could possibly bother her more than that?]

[freedomfighterhammer]

I’m sorry. I know a pink hedgehog is a poor substitute for him…

[kerontribution]

You aren't very similar. He's a lot taller.

[And other noticeable personality differences.]

But nobody else would be a good substitute either, so it's not your fault.

[freedomfighterhammer]

[Amy giggled at that before shaking her head.]

Alright, new subject! Uh, my turn to eat?

[If it is, she’s grabbing a yellow thinking it’s a white. Go nuts.]

[kerontribution]

Yellow means... tell Oryou what you like about her.

[Feed her ego please.]

[freedomfighterhammer]

You’re silly in a sense that it brightens up a room with your presence. You’re amazingly powerful and awe-inspiring. You’re also really pretty and I’m glad you’re around to be with.

[kerontribution]

[Yes good, delicious praise.]

Thank you. Oryou's happy to hear you say that.

[i]Someone is more curious about the building than playing games, but he sees the pink hedgehog and has to double take[/i]

Amy?
