🌸 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.

Karlach Cliffgate | Baldur's Gate III

[bloodwar]

( Karlach may as well have just grabbed the entire jar of konpeito for how many she had in her own, excitedly approaching damn near everyone to see if they'd play with her. Feel free to approach her first though!

She also had a bingo card and and is absolutely running up and just asking questions.)

Hi! Can you sing? Have you been handcuffed before? You can put me down for being able to dance - I'm Karlach.

[abnormalizes]

Can't sing, have definitely been handcuffed before and would do so again. You look like you're having fun.

[sup]

[bloodwar]

I'm having a fucking blast. ( She laughed. ) No shit? Now was this in the sexy way or the oops! I committed a crime way. Not that it matters for the card I guess.

[abnormalizes]

Sexy way definitely. I'm from a pretty lawless area, the only things they bother to police are the stuff they just kill you for.

[Said like it's no big deal.]

[bloodwar]

( YIKES ON BIKES FAM. )

Well, let's be off that sad topic, huh? You wanna play truth or dare?

[essenceborn]

Hello Karlach, I am Nenonen. I can sing, but I am tone deaf. I have never been hand-cuffed [ Nen doesn't even know what those are ] and I shall put you down for "dancing." Thank you.

[ That all said, it's their first time seeing anyone so...red. Actually red, not just wearing red clothes. Hopefully she doesn't mind a little bit of curious staring! ]

You can put me down for only having one name. I do not have a last or surname.

[ also: ]

Nice to meet you.

[bloodwar]

( She doesn't mind. Either that or she simply doesn't notice because people tend to stare for some reason or another. Be it her skin color, the horns and tail, the flames literally flickering off her skin and coursing under the surface in surges of orange and pulses of light in her chest. )

No? Seems to be common around here - not entirely uncommon back home either I guess, depending on who you talk to.

Likewise! This little get together is nice.

[essenceborn]

A lot of people come from worlds where you have a given name and a family of clan name. I do not have either, but the researchers and doctors I knew all had them.

[ Just don't think too hard about that one there-- ]

Ayaka arranged it. She is a good person and her hair is very soft.

[ Which are important traits. The second one in particular!! ]

She helped to plan a festival a few months back, too. She is very busy.

[bloodwar]

The doctors and researchers...?

( Wow don't just change the subject! Karlach blinked, confused, and then laughed. )

Good to know! I'll have to ask her about her haircare routine when I run into her. Maybe she's got a good means of getting blood out.

She sounds like fun. Shame I missed the festival, though.

Re: Karlach Cliffgate | Baldur's Gate III

[noodleboi]

[MK grins when the red woman approaches him. He grins and marks her name down on his own bingo card.]

I can sing! And I only got one name too if you wanna put me down there. I'm MK. Nice to meet you, Karlach!

[bloodwar]

Second person I met here with just one name. ( but two count so she'll write his down too. ) Yeah, likewise. MK isn't short for something?

[noodleboi]

Oh cool. Didn't think there was anyone else. It isn't. I mean, not really? I am the Monkie Kid but that's more like a title than a name. Long story about all that. I just go by MK.

[bloodwar]

Ah, gotcha. Well it's a pleasure, MK. How's the party going for you? Do any wild dares?

[mistsplitter]

[ THAT'S SO MANY KONPEITO... U GOOD, KARLACH?? ]

I fit in both of those squares. [ But she puts Karlach's name on the dance square! ] My name is Kamisato Ayaka.

[bloodwar]

( NEVER BETTER BESTIE. )

Right on. ( Just gonna mark those down, too. Everyone here is so cool and talented and... kinky???? Maybe?? ) Nice to meet you! I heard from Nen that you're the one that arranged all of this - and that your hair was very soft. They were very specific about that.

[mistsplitter]

[ IT'S NOT A KINK PLS... she got arrested because someone put a giant cock statue outside her home and the police thought she stole the statue ):

... okay maybe kind of kinky ]

Nen said all those things? [ O Nen... this is why you are adorable. Ayaka can't help but laugh. ] I'm sure my hair is not the softest out there, but I do take care of it, I suppose.

I'm flattered they would make note of that to someone.

[bloodwar]

( Listen she's not here to kink shame.)

They sure made it sound like you did! I was gonna ask if you had any tips for someone inclined to get blood in their hair a lot. It's me. I'm the someone.

[longredribbon]

[ Well that's one way to do things. Wei Wuxian falls right into it, laughing a bit. ]

I'm an okay singer, I guess, and have been handcuffed in the past. [ More so it's been having his wrists bound, but details. ]

Or you could put me down for having a pet; among a number of others, if you need any.

My name is Wei Wuxian. It's good to meet you, Karlach.

[bloodwar]

The first two work for me. ( just gonna jot him down in both squares real quick... )

Yeah, likewise. You need any squares filled?

[longredribbon]

Hmm. Well, dancing aside, what others suit you? I still have a number open.

[bloodwar]

I can sing and I'm wearing jewelry right now! ( She flicks the earrings along the edge of her pointed ear. )

[mysophobic]

[ The suddenness of Karlach's question, coupled with Shigeru being mid-drink, has him almost spilling his tea on himself. Great first impressions Shigeru!! ]

Sing?! No, no! I'm mute so...definitely not! [ As for the handcuffs thing his face goes so freakin red as he coughs and shakes his head. Does being tied up with vines count?? He is not going to say anything about that though, absolutely not!! ]

Sorry. I'm not much help for that one either. I'm good with a sword though, if you don't have that one filled out!

[bloodwar]

( There's a reflexive wince when his voice filters through her mind, fingers flexing beside her temple. But it's not the tadpole bullshit or someone trying to manipulate her - thank all the gods - so she recovers quickly enough. )

Sure, I'll put you down for that - what's your name?

[mysophobic]

Oh it's Shigeru Miyata! It's nice to meet you.

[ Is what he says with a broad smile. ]

What kind of dancing do you like the most?

[bloodwar]

Likewise.

I like to improvise, mostly when I'm bored and can't stand still. Want to see?
