[ 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! ]

[ !!!

And here she was just about to suggest ROBOT DOLPHINS--but she definitely likes the idea of flowers better, so she grins. ]

I'm on it!

[ Something cool... she wonders what that could be. She distractedly stares at her blank slip of colored paper before finally touching her pencil to it, doodling long strokes. ]

[psycholawgy]

[ She starts drawing a bunch of weird stuff on her piece of paper. It doesn't look like anyone could understand what she's drawing but her.

If one looks at Athena, they'll see that she looks so wrapped up in her own drawing. ]

[journaler]

[ Things go quiet between them, the entire party drowned out by their riveting determination!

It's harder than Leia expects; it'd be easier if she had a model, but going off memory, she uses a lot of yellows, pinks, and a touch of blueish purple to come up with something like this.

Or at least, she tries. ]

[psycholawgy]

[ Meanwhile, Athena is drawing what looks like the CERES gardens, from what she's seen from the outside. Lots of greens, with blues for the water, and some flowers here and there.

She gets so worked up in this that she starts humming a tune as she works, but she quickly realises that she's not alone, so she covers her mouth. ]

S- Sorry!

[journaler]

Huh? [ Leia looks up, pausing her work for a moment. When she finally realizes what Athena is apologizing for: ] Oh, I don't mind!

[ Pshhh.

She'll do one better, even: if Athena continues, Leia will join in on her humming. ]

[psycholawgy]

Are you sure?

[ Usually, she'd hear from others that she's like a kid just by humming a tune while working, so this is rather new to her. ]

[journaler]

Yeah! Positive. I can hum too, you know...

[ Leia may be just a kid at heart herself. She grins as she starts humming a tune close to her heart... despite the sad memories it brings. ]

[psycholawgy]

[ She blinks rather curiously when Leia starts humming. Why is she humming something, if it makes her sad? ]

Is everything okay?

1/2

[journaler]

Huh?

[ Leia hadn't realized she'd stopped drawing, but snaps out of it quickly. She's also a bit surprised at the question, since-- well, of course she's okay!

And she never gave a reason why she wouldn't be. ]

Yeah, totally! I was... just thinking of a good friend.

[journaler]

Hey, I know! After I finish yours, I'll make one for him, too--and all my other friends.

[psycholawgy]

Him?!

[ well now she really wants to know... ]

Is it someone you like?

1/4

[journaler]

Well, of course!

[ She didn't call him a friend, didn't she... ]

[journaler]

[ ... ]

Oh, wait, you meant--

[journaler]

No! No, that's... [ someone else. haha, but she'd rather not say that either. ]

[journaler]

... I don't know.

[ Does she like Ludger Kresnik now? Is it only because Jude is out of the question... ]

[psycholawgy]

[ Ooohhh this is gonna be good. You've definitely piqued Athena's curiosity, now. ]

Oh, if you figure it out, you should tell me!

[journaler]

[ She actually is pretty grateful that Athena is letting it slide, because she has friends who wouldn't. ]

Uh... okay!

[ Feelings are complicated. ]

But, what about you? Do you like anyone?

[psycholawgy]

Me?

Ha... ha ha... [ She just laughs amiably as she deflates in her seat. ] No, I've never liked anyone before.

[journaler]

Reaaally? [ Leia tilts her head with playful suspicion. ] I don't know!

Somehow I find that hard to believe.

[psycholawgy]

It's true, it's true!

[ This is so embarrassing, her cheeks flush red just thinking about her lack of experience. ]

I just never had the time, you know?

[journaler]

[ ... Now that she can believe. But the blushing is certainly something worth noting. ]

But still...

[ Leia relents somewhat, trailing off there. It's around then, after studying her reaction that she notices... huh. ]

Hey, your necklace changed color.

[psycholawgy]

[ Maybe it's best to just admit it— ]

I'm not good with boys...! Or going out! Or anything!

[ ... okay, maybe she ended up exaggerating. ]

[journaler]

[ Just a little. Leia's comment goes unnoticed, so she's quickly distracted from Widget. ]

It's fine...! I was just teasing! [ Yikes. ] Let's just finish our bookmarks.

[ Friends are more important anyway. ]

[psycholawgy]

[ Who needs boys when you have friends?!?!??! ]

Right! We should. ♪

[ And once they finish them, Athena punches a hole at one edge of the bookmark and ties a string on it. ]

Done!

[journaler]

Me too!

[ She's just grabbing a string herself, making sure to pick one that matches. Then she's careful in looping it through the hole and tying the knot. ]

Here's yours. I'll have to remember to find out what this flower was called.

[ and she gives the first bookmark of the night in offering. ]
