[ 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! ]

[ She smiles rather fondly before answering. If there's anything different with Athena when she's intoxicated (apart from her loud voice), it's her emotions. Mood swings galore. ]

I recently graduated law school, and then I flew back to Los Angeles to practise being a defense attorney. I studied and studied, and I didn't really want to waste any time having extra-curriculars that weren't school-related.

[ Sleepovers and drinking are not part of those!! ]

[faithfulflame]

Oh! Well that definitely makes sense then.

[Rei laughs, a little nervously.]

A friend of mine is studying law, actually. He...doesn't get out much anymore. And he's only a first year. I don't know how people can manage that, honestly.

[psycholawgy]

You have to bury yourself in books all the time!

[ And her mood changes again, and her necklace turns from green, to red, showing an angry face >:( ]

I'm just glad I'm done with law school. Now I can focus on studying psychology again! [ That's more fun for her, anyway. ]

[faithfulflame]

You study law and psychology?

[That mood shift is...interesting. And that necklace is too!]

Ambitious!

[psycholawgy]

I got my attorney's badge now, so law is done. And I'm just reading about more theories and studies about Psychology so I can use it in court.

[faithfulflame]

I guess that seems like a logical thing to do. Psychology is good for that sort of thing, I understand.

[She smiles weakly.]

I just graduated High School, and was thinking about the next step when I arrived here.

[psycholawgy]

What are your choices?

[ If she can help someone shape out their future, then that would be really great. She'd feel so proud of herself for helping someone out. ]

[faithfulflame]

Well, the main one is whether or not to attend college. I know what job I'm going to take, I've been doing that since I was young. But is it worth the money and time to go into higher education, when you already have your dream job?

[In this case, managing a shrine.]

[psycholawgy]

I guess it's different, depending on where you're from. The cost of education in the States and in Europe is expensive, compared to say... some schools in Asia.

[ A beat. ] But I think education is really important, even if you already have what you want.

[faithfulflame]

Well, I live in Tokyo. I have a lot of options, though. My grades were…good.

[She doesn’t want to brag.]

And you think I should go, then? I was leaning that way, to study theology, but I’m still unsure.

[psycholawgy]

You really should!

[ If she could go back to school again and get a masteral degree, then she would. ]

Studying at home can only do so much, so learning from professionals would broaden your horizons by a lot.

[faithfulflame]

That was why I was leaning towards that. Becoming a priest doesn't require it, but...well...I would like to further my studies.

But I think there's reasons to go right into work, too.

[A beat.]

Why did you decide to become a lawyer?

[psycholawgy]

[ She smiles rather fondly as she responds: ]

I had to save someone.

[ And she goes quiet after that. She could talk more about it, but she wouldn't want to bore her guest over her stories. ]

[faithfulflame]

[And when she goes quiet, Rei gives her a look.]

You can't just say that and not continue. Who? Why? It sounds like an important story.

[psycholawgy]

Hmm, it's over, so I guess I can tell you.

[ She looks around the room, and then points to where Simon Blackquill is. Likely by a couch or something. ]

That guy.

[faithfulflame]

[Rei looks over at Simon, her eyebrows lifting even further.]

He looks...like someone with a perpetual frown. Who is he? And why?

[psycholawgy]

He's really all business, that's why he looks like that. But he's a good guy! He was my mom's friend, and he visited home often.

[faithfulflame]

I see. What's his name?

[psycholawgy]

Simon Blackquill. He's a recent arrival, just like you.

[faithfulflame]

Maybe I should say hello sometime, then. Serious people are usually my kind of people.

[psycholawgy]

Simon definitely needs more friends! I'm sure the two of you will get along well.

[faithfulflame]

We'll see then. But...what happened? Why did he need a lawyer? If you can share.

[psycholawgy]

It's a pretty long story, but let's just say that the law back then was covered in darkness.

[faithfulflame]

Corruption, you mean?

[psycholawgy]

Exactly.

[ But c'mon, you gotta say it all dramatic! ]
