🌸 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.

I dare you to rap. About someone in this room!

[roundandaround]

Wow, that sounds fun! Hmm... here I go!

[She puts her phone on the table and plays a backing track.]

Hijikata-san has a magic pig!
And I bet it's gonna grow up to be really big!
And then it won't fit into any of the doors!
Which means he couldn't bring it to the mall anymore!
Except I guess he could, 'cause it goes into a ball.
Which was pretty obvious because we broke the --

Uhh... Anyway!

He also likes to eat the whole tube of mayonnaise!
And I forget what rhymes with mayonnaise!

[...she looks pleased with herself despite this atrocity.]

[abnormalizes]

[Wild applause!]

It's perfect. I love it.

Truth?

[roundandaround]

Really? Thanks so much! 「Happy Around!」

[And yes, she gets up from the table just to do the spin. At least she doesn't knock anything over.]

Uh... what's your favourite quest you ever did!

sex mention

[abnormalizes]

[Immediately:] That one where you had to bang outside to make flowers grow for potion ingredients.

1/2

[roundandaround]

Eh?

2/2

[roundandaround]

................Sorry for asking, I didn't mean to put you on the spot!

[abnormalizes]

[In contrast to Rinku's expression, Evangeline looks incredibly unbothered.]

Huh? No, it was an easy question, don't worry about it.

[roundandaround]

Okay, I guess, but it wasn't really what I expected!

[steam from face...]

[abnormalizes]

Oh, really? I thought my reputation was pretty well-known around here...

[roundandaround]

Isn't gossip kinda mean, though? So I don't really pay attention to it.

[abnormalizes]

That's fair, but for the record, I don't mind whatever you say or hear about me.

[roundandaround]

Then I'm still gonna say stuff like "Evangeline-san is cool" or something, and then no one has to worry!

[abnormalizes]

I appreciate it, but I feel like at some point I'd rather you just know what everybody else already knows about me, because I feel like explaining it to you would be awkward.

[roundandaround]

But isn't that even more awkward or something?

[abnormalizes]

It's less awkward for me.

[roundandaround]

I guess if you're really, really sure...

[abnormalizes]

Don't worry about it too much.

[roundandaround]

I was trying not to, but then you said I should know.

[abnormalizes]

Yeah but like. Not in a 'you should be concerned' kind of way? It's just a good thing to know about people.

[roundandaround]

I thought it was a personal thing that people didn't want everyone to know, though.

[abnormalizes]

People have varying amounts of embarrassment associated with it. I've never been embarrassed in my life and I'm not about to start.

[roundandaround]

Really? Never in your whole life or anything?

[abnormalizes]

Nope. Doesn't bother me.

[She has been embarrassed about things other than sex, but very rarely.]

[roundandaround]

Even if you walked into the wrong room and did your whole introduction and then you were in the wrong class?
