🌸 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.

[ This is a bit of a reach, but Ayaka gets on the tips of her toes and reaches for the top of Ayato's head.

Or she tries to, anyway. She unfortunately can't reach. . . ]

Lower your head a little, Ayato, please.

[ She must get her revenge!!! ]

[acquirement]

{ look at her being so cute--

his lips widen into a brighter smile, a laugh bubbling up at her attempt to try and reach the top of his head. }

Very well.

{ he's so generous, he lowers his head.

a little.

it's barely a centimetre lower and ayaka probably still can't reach. }

[mistsplitter]

[ He's not helping 😡!! ]

Ayato...

[ She is pouting!! ]

[acquirement]

{ how can he not tease her a little more when she's this cute.

the cat ears are not helping her. }

Ayaka.

{ his smile widens at her pouting, before he finally dips his head enough she should be able to reach. }

[mistsplitter]

[ >:( Good! Now he is getting the headpat he deserves. ]

You must listen to your big sister, Ayato.

[acquirement]

{ that same smile softens as ayaka's head falls into contact with his head, a small laugh bubbling up the back of his throat. }

Of course, when do I not?

{ don't answer that- }

[mistsplitter]

I could list a few occasions. . .

[ Like those times when she tells him to not work so late, for one! ]

[acquirement]

{ he peers at her from under his lashes, head still tipped down for her. }

Even here?

[mistsplitter]

But... [ Dramatic pause. ] I will not. I am a gracious elder sister.

[ And now she has successfully stunted her brother's growth! She stops patting his head. ]

[acquirement]

I have much to learn from you, then.

{ when her hand pulls away, he'll finally lift his head again. }

But I suppose now you know why you failed to surprise people with your lie, you could change it to something else.

[mistsplitter]

Do you have a suggestion?

[ aka she's not good at coming up with lies GDSAGSH ]

[acquirement]

{ he goes quiet for a moment, looking thoughtful. }

What about 'I can handle alcohol very well'?

{ is this mean sdkgjn }

[mistsplitter]

[ WOW THAT IS RUDE???? ]

I do not wish for other people to take advantage of that piece of information.

[acquirement]

Ah, that is true. That would be most unfortunate.

{ his hand raises to his lips, and because he has a good impression of his dear sister: }

I've kissed more people than Cloud?

[mistsplitter]

A- Ah...

[ That actually gets her cheeks to turn red. They're talking about truths and lies, so even though this is not something she would normally not tell her older brother, it feels like she has to correct him. ]

That is... a truth, I'm afraid.

[ Please don't think she's some sort of slut, brother!! Ayaka tries to clarify immediately, at least. ]

I do not know how best to explain it, but Nippon was a rather... magical place. And often times, we would be caught up in a spell without even knowing.

[acquirement]

{ wow his sister is a skank- that's a joke. perhaps after forcing the truth out of her, he should be equally as open?




nah. not exactly, anyway. }

I see. I assume it was like the rain we had here a few months ago?

[mistsplitter]

[ Sorry, Ayato. This time, she has to lie. Definitely just like the rain months ago. You know, with the kisses. Just... Kisses. ]

Yes. Though sometimes there would be food that would. . . make you want to be close to someone, or it would be the moon, just the dates.

[acquirement]

I see. { he goes quiet after that, eyes looking away from her as he tries to think of something else she could use as a lie for the game.

or at least he's trying to, because he dug a hole for himself by bringing this up and now he's struggling to think of anything else. rip. }

[mistsplitter]

[ This is so embarrassing. Ayato will hear her sigh as she tries to figure out how to change the topic. ]

I- In any case, as long as the people are enjoying the game, I do not mind. It isn't as if the penalties they give are harmful.

[acquirement]

Ah- { right, they had been discussing something else, hadn't they? the game. } Of course. And it's a useful way to learn about someone. I can't deny that.

[mistsplitter]

Though, for your dear sister's sake, please don't tell any more guests that I am the younger one between us.

[ AS IF THAT WASN'T OBVIOUS ENOUGH ]

[acquirement]

Of course. I'll remember that for tonight, though as I said, it may be too late for some of the guests who know either of us very well.

{ the damage was already done ayaya... }
