🌸 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.

truth or dare

[hometown]

[ Reiner, too, has konpeito of every color. He doesn't recognize the man who approaches, but he immediately decides he likes the guy's long hair. (That's entirely Eren's fault, and Reiner knows it.) ]

Sure, [ he says, fishing for a konpeito without bothering to check the color. ] Let's start with a truth.

[ The konpeito is white. ]

[saxsongs]

[Well, he's definitely a handsome guy. Plenty of muscle. Could honestly work for some modeling jobs, Ren thinks to himself. Definitely has the right looks for that.]

A white konpeito. That would be family. A good truth to ask about that...]

Do you have any siblings or people you feel like are like siblings to you?

[hometown]

[ Reiner shakes his head. ]

I'm an only child.

[ It's true, as far as he knows. Although he suspects that his father's "family" may consist of children who would be his half-siblings. ]

I don't know what having siblings is like, so I can't be sure if the feeling is the same. But my cousin is like a little sister to me. And there's a girl I grew up with who is sort of like a sister as well—one who would kick my ass for saying so.

[ Not that he sounds particularly bothered by the idea of said ass-kicking. He'd take Annie's violence over her absence any day. ]

[saxsongs]

[Ren chuckles a little bit.]

I think that makes her even more like your sibling. It's the job of little siblings to be difficult at their older ones, after all. I would know, I have two older brothers myself.

[Not that they were ever too close, but he had been a pain in the butt when he was a teenager at least.

He reaches for a konpeito, not paying attention to what he picks. His is green.]

I think I'll start with a truth, too.

[hometown]

[ Reiner smiles at that, finding the idea of sibling 'difficulties' oddly appealing. Things have been messed up between Reiner and Annie for a long time—his fault, he knows—but still. It would be nice for it to be something as normal as sibling difficulties. ]

A favorite, huh?

[ Reiner thinks for a moment, then nods as he decides, ]

What's the best food you've tried in this world? Bonus if it was something you'd never tried before.

[saxsongs]

Hmm... [Ren thinks about it for a moment. A food he's liked?

After a moment he gets it.]

I tried this very spicy food called "buffalo chicken wings". It was very delicious. I can't eat a lot of it, since it's very packed with calories, but it's my guilty pleasure for something easy and spicy. I definitely never tried those before I came here.

[He's a rich kid, he doesn't do street food.]

[hometown]

[ Buffalo chicken wings? What a bizarre name. Reiner can't imagine what chickens have to do with buffalo or vice versa. Still, easy and spicy sounds good; he'll have to check them out.

He cocks his head to the side, puzzled by something else. ]

If it's packed with calories, isn't that a good thing?

[ As someone for whom food has always been precious (even before Paradis), Reiner can't imagine why someone would avoid calories. ]

[saxsongs]

It's not when I need to make sure my figure says fit. I'm an idol which means my looks need to stay as good as possible. So I'm usually careful with what I eat.
