[ SLEEPOVER!!!!!!!!!

Athena has been excited for this for a few days now, and has been trying to get Ryuko to be as psyched as she is, but that sure didn't work.

Either way, a sleepover is happening at their place! There's five mattresses laid out on the living room floor (She's not sure how many are coming but she borrowed five from the gym, anyway), already set up with their own sheets. The pillows are stacked by the wall—there's really a lot of them—and some blankets by a small coffee table. The mattresses are pretty big that it could fit 3-4 people to sleep on them.

There's a projector sitting on the living room too, just in case people brought movies with them, conveniently facing the wall. (Probably just link the CereVice to it and it'll show whatever's playing on the CereVice, too.) OR IF YOU HAVE A KARAOKE APP...

Athena brought in some desserts from the cosplay cafe, so there's a lot of pastries. From three different kinds of cake (chocolate, strawberries and creme, and blueberry cheesecake); to red velvet cupcakes; to a buttload of macarons of all sorts of flavours; there really are a lot of sweets. if you arrive early, you might realise that it's just sweets, a bunch of chips, and soda bottles set on the table.

Where's the real food? Archer said he'll have Saber bring it with her, so that's a thing! And Athena thought they could order some delivery, too. Just so everyone gets to eat something they want. Oddly enough, there's also a plate of salt and lime on the table. Hmm, what for?

Well, no one has to look that hard enough for the reason. There's a couple of bottles of tequila and some shot glasses badly hidden in one of the cupboards, so pretty much everybody can see those. If anyone wants to start body shots drinking with people, then Athena won't stop them. It's a party! And law school gets just as crazy sometimes. Lord knows how much Athena wanted to try and socialise with her fellow budding lawyers, but was just awkward to do so. Thankfully, she's much better at breaking out of her shell now, otherwise, this party wouldn't even be happening. If there's anyone who tries drinking and they look like they shouldn't be (LOOKING AT YOU, MABEL), then Athena will come over and scold them like a mom.

So what else are you waiting for? Come in and take off your shoes, and make yourself comfortable! The bathroom is just down the hall, if you want to change into your jammies.

Let's get this thing started! ]

[ ooc: feel free to make top-levels for certain activities. just mark them with what the activity is in the subject! of course, feel free to set up different prompts for your character, too. post as many activities as you want. the more the merrier!

here is a sample if you ever need to see what I mean! SOMEONE START A SPIN THE BOTTLE/I'VE NEVER GAME.

to anyone not invited but want to tag in: seriously, go ahead! feel free to have your character complain about the noise or check in on the girls if your name is phoenix wright or simon blackquill. there are some girls who athena didn't invite because she doesn't know them, but if they know anyone in the party then they might have been invited by that friend! IF THERE'S A WILL THERE'S A WAY!!! All the ladies and Zura get in! ]

[ A: wallflowering... ]

[by default, Xion is shy and awkward in new situations. in this instance? she's basically a fish out of water. she'd been excited ever since she'd gotten the invite from Athena, yes, but being at the event itself is a little overwhelming... where does she even begin?! she arrives at the party early enough, but she's at a complete loss for what to do. she at least did some research beforehand; her boss at her jewelry shop job directed her to a place where she could get some cute pajamas, and the attendants of that shop had picked an outfit that they thought suited her especially well. (it is cute, she concedes, but she can't help but think that there's something strangely familiar about it...)

for now, she's sort of timidly hanging out in a corner by herself, occasionally going up to the snack and dessert table and picking at some of the unfamiliar sweets. most of them put a small smile on her face when she tries them, but she'll still be quiet and not say anything unless approached.]

[ B: an attempt at being outgoing!! ]

[she's spent enough time being an introvert! whether it's the atmosphere itself that gives her a burst of courage, or the realization that she made her first friend ever by being the one to approach him, she's made it her goal to at least engage in conversation with some of the other girls here. that alone gave them all something in common, right? and she's spent a majority of her existence surrounded by guys—she should take advantage of the moment and balance that out, right?!

she steels herself and goes up to someone random. for a fleeting second when she opens her mouth, she draws a blank on what to say. what is she even doing...?! in that moment, though, she gets a reminder of her conversation with Athena, and how she'd told her what sleepovers usually consist of. why not start from there, right?]

Um... I like your pajamas. Do you want to talk about boys?

[......... unfortunately, she has a lot of practice to be doing in the icebreaking department. she'll get it down eventually! bear with her?]

[ C: adult drinks??? ]

[when the party really starts getting into gear—aka when people have started downing shots—Xion becomes increasingly wary. people are acting way differently than they were when they'd first arrived... is this just a party or sleepover thing? she does manage to note one key detail: everyone that way has had some sort of drink in a tiny cup. she'd stayed away from those, having been repulsed by the smell... she'd always been more of a sweet fan than a sour one. with a frown, she whispers to someone else—who may or may not be inebriated themselves—and asks:]

Why are they acting... weird? Was something wrong with the food or drinks?

[dereban]

[Thankfully (or perhaps less so) she's stayed very far away from the alcohol, which is why when she's asked the question, she manages to reply in a hushed whisper, slightly annoyed.]

It's definitely the alcohol. Most of them must be pretty lightweight to get drunk this quickly.

[offstrings]

Alcohol? Drunk?

[innocent Disney child right here]

[dereban]

Yeah. It's the kind of drink that those guys have been drinking which kind of makes them... act like that way.

[offstrings]

I didn't know drinks could do that to people. [a slightly uncomfortable pause, then:] They'll go back to normal, right?

[dereban]

Yeah, don't worry. Just give them a full day and they should be back to normal...

c

[psycholawgy]

[ She's not as weird as Ryuko, but she definitely is louder and more jumpy. Bless alcohol. ]

Xion! How old are you?! If you're a minor, then you shouldn't be drinking, or else you'll end up like Ryuko!

[offstrings]

[she still wasn't planning on it, but Athena's attitude is definitely keeping her from even thinking of it.]

I-I wasn't going to!

[psycholawgy]

But if you really want to try it, I suppose you can have one shot. But just one!!

[offstrings]

Didn't you just say I shouldn't, though...?

[psycholawgy]

I'm so conflicted right now.

b

[emotive]

[Pretend this is before Ai decided to hit the tequila so right now she's normal!]

Oh! Thank you for the compliment. I think your sleeping clothes are quite nice too, Miss Xion!

[Boy talk...]

Well... If you want to talk about them, sure! Is there any boy that you think is a nice person?

[offstrings]

I knew a few nice boys back from my world, but you wouldn't know them... um...

[one of them is here, but things are a little awkward, to say the least... man, she really should have thought about this in advance. was there anyone in the colony that was nice to her...?]

Oh! Have you met Rock Lee?

[emotive]

[y...es... Now, don't get her wrong, Ai thinks Lee is a perfectly fine person! A fine youth even! Just...]

I have, actually! He's really energetic and enthusiastic.

[offstrings]

[LIKE SHE UNDERSTANDS WHAT ANY OF THIS MEANS]

I know. I met him when he first got here. Sometimes I wonder if he ever runs out of energy...

[emotive]

But does that mean you like him in spite of all that?

b;

[journaler]

[leia is wearing something pink and polka-dotted, and most decidedly cute, so when she hears the compliment--even as quiet as it is--it makes her turn. and she looks down and beams, feeling just a bit more confident.]

Oh... thanks!

[the next part is a bit of a nonsequitur, but what the hell. when has that ever bothered her?]

Yours are cute, too. And sure, I wouldn't mind talking about boys.

[obliviously, she scoots a bit closer so they can have a better time hearing each other (it's loud). and...]

What about them?

[leia please]

[offstrings]

[aw, yes, that is cute. but Xion looks just as confused as Leia might have thought her question was, as she gives her a kind of sheepish glance.]

I don't know, really. I just know that you're supposed to talk about boys at sleepovers. I've never been to one before, so...

[journaler]

We are?

[...HUH... kind of news to her, but then again, Leia's the type who'd rather roughhouse and play around at a typical sleepover. That's all she ever did, as a kid! She was a handful... so her parents keep saying.]

... Well, I have plenty of friends who are boys. I guess I could tell you about them.

[offstrings]

I wouldn't mind that. I like hearing about people's friends. Are any of them here, too?

[journaler]

A couple are! ...Uh, but probably not here here, like at this party. I don't think they were invited.

[she's been wrong before though?]

a!

[ineptus]

Oh my gosh! [Mabel was minding her own business, collecting some sweets for herself, when she saw the girl in those cute pajamas. Those super, super cute pajamas. Being all shy and quiet too! Can't be having that.]

Those pjs are so cute!! Where did you get them?

[offstrings]

[cue embarrassment! she's really not used to receiving compliments (though that's steadily been changing here), so she's a little flustered by the other girl's attention...]

Oh... thanks. I got them from a place in the shopping district—the boss from my job recommended it to me.

[ineptus]

[Don't be embarrassed! Embrace the compliments!]

Well your boss was not wrong! I didn't know they had such adorable pjs for sale here!

[She just knits her own, but maybe she should go out and buy some too...]

You have to show me the store sometime!

[offstrings]

[the whole reason Xion is here is to make friends! so instead of just waving off Mabel's reply with shyness...]

Um, sure? Whenever you want, that is.

[doesn't mean that she won't do it with confidence, though. she has a lot to get used to with this outgoing thing.]
