🌸 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.

[divino]

[ He waits for the count of three then all fingers spread to make– paper. ]

Did I do it right? Or should I try for a more rectangle shape? Oh, Did I win or lose?

[acquirement]

{ and to demonstrate the scissors properly, ayato uses that shape. if it had been a draw since alear may have wanted to try it, it was a safe bet. }

Scissors cut paper. { ayato mimics the action. } So with that I am afraid it's your loss. As for your punishment, every time you end a sentence please bark to signify you are done speaking.

[divino]

[ ...What an odd request but also not terrible even if Alear knows he'll feel a little odd barking.

Repeatedly. ]

Does it count if I say noth– oh wait–! [ He grimaces at himself then barks: Woof. ]

For how long? [ Woof.]

[acquirement]

{ it could have been worse, alear. }

Until we're done with our games together, no need to carry on when you leave and go speak with someone else.

{ and since alear is following his request... he reaches out to pat him on the head with a smile. }

Good boy. { he is doing this to tease him 100% }

[divino]

Alright. [ More woofs. Though he doesn't mind the head pats. That feels kind of nice. ]

And thanks...although this is kind of humiliating.

[ Woof.

Seriously, how does Sommie put up with this all day? ]

Do you want to do another round?

[ Woof. ]

it's all good skjdgn

[acquirement]

{ what cute woofs he gives. thankfully the headpats will stop before long, mostly because he needs to explain the next part of the game. }

No, this is where we'd move to the next game. That was more to decide who would go first. Did you write your two truths and one lie?

[divino]

Ah, I see. [ Woof. ] I've come up with some. [ Woof. ] Here goes–

1 - I'm a dragon.
2 - I adopt every animal I come across.
3 - I dye my hair often. [ Woof. ]

[acquirement]

Well, I already know the first is true. { is he going to go through one by one? he sure is. } And I can see you being the type to adopt every animal, in fact I think I recall you mentioning something about animals before. Lastly, while neither hair colour would be odd in itself, the fact you have two makes me believe you likely dye one of the two colours, at least?

[divino]

They can't all be true though...so which is your answer? [ Woof. ]

omg i shouldn't have tagged that late LMFAO sorry that was me

[acquirement]

{ he's right, of course, this is the first time ayato has actually felt stumped on this--but if he takes that first statement into account... isn't there room to believe dragons could have a trait with two colours for hair? }

Then considering your species, perhaps the last one is a lie and you naturally have both red and blue hair?

[divino]

[ Damn...he's too smart. Woof. Alear really thought he stumped him. ]

Ahaha...got it in one go. [ Woof. ] Guess it's your turn now.

[acquirement]

{ he smiles at that, rather pleased. }

Does that mean when you transform into your true form, your scales are blue and red?

Though of course, here. Feel free to try mine then we can begin truth or dare.

{ he'll turn so alear can see his list:

1. I sometimes write poetry in my free time.
2. I only had my first vacation this month.
3. My favourite food is mochi. }

[divino]

[ About that... ]

My scales were. I can't transform anymore since I lost my dragonstone, so I have to use my ring...and even then, I can only transform into the legendary dragon, Tiki, and not my own form. [ Woof. He looks at Ayato's list curiously. ]

Hmm...the second one is sad if true. Maybe the third one? I am not sure what mochi is, but it could taste bad. [ Woof. ]

[acquirement]

Oh? You didn't mention that before, apologies if that's a difficult subject. I didn't realise. You haven't tried mochi before though? We'll need to change that at some point. You were correct, though not because it's bad, I merely don't have a favourite food.

[divino]

It's not, don't worry. Or I should say...I left that part of me in the past. [ But he does miss being more in tune with his dragonness. Woof. ] And you really like all the food ever? Even if it's made poorly? [ Woof. ]

[acquirement]

I see. That's a relief. { he even sighs softly, before continuing on. } For the most part I eat as a necessity and prefer things that are easy to make, but I'm not picky about them by any means.

[divino]

That's probably the best way to live. It's easy to starve if you're picky. [ Woof. ] Do I get a penalty for losing again? [ Please no more. ]

[acquirement]

Exactly. And back home I didn't like to make things complicated for my staff. Quite often they're incredibly busy.

{ honestly it's lucky when he DOES eat as he forgets quite often }

Oh, I think I'm entertained enough from your first loss.

[divino]

Am I at least relieved from the games so I can eat? [ Woof. ] All the barking is making me both hungry and thirsty.

[acquirement]

Of course. Thank you for entertaining me for so long, Alear. I hope you enjoy the rest of your evening.

[divino]

Thank you for playing with me too and teaching me about these games. [ His last woof of the evening because he needs to be free. ] I'll see you later.
