A Night of One-Hundred Tales!
Who: Rei Hino, Tsuzuki Asato, and ANYONE who wants to join in!
What: A Hyakumonogatari Kaidankai, or telling ghost stories!
When: October 29th in the evening
Where: Tsukino Shrine
Summary: Rei and Tsuzuki decide to invite people to share ghost stories to celebrate Halloween. There will be food and drinks, and the ghostly interlopers are kept at bay by the shrine's wards to give people a break from hauntings. Turn up and share stories, or listen to them.
Rating: PG-13 at the worst, depending on the story!
It had taken quite a bit of work, but as night fell everything seemed as perfect as they could manage it. The andon were lit, the chairs were arranged in the courtyard, and the wind-screens were in place to keep everyone warm. Rei had thrown open the shrine doors and set out braziers to warm participants, stoking them with embers from the temple's main flames. Food had been laid out, snacks, coolers of cold drinks, and even thermoses of hot water for warm ones. They even had a mirror sitting on the steps of the shrine, reflecting light into the courtyard. Not the most traditional way of doing things, but it's what they had to work with.
The shrine wasn't large enough to house a crowd of more than ten or twelve people inside, but if the crowd was small enough they could move indoors. Everything was set up for a night of storytelling, casual fun, and a little bit of relief from the ghostly visitors that were assailing the villagers.
Guests start arriving around twilight, and Rei can't help but smile as they get underway. This was hopefully going to be a good time for everyone involved.
(OOC: Feel free to assume Tsuzuki or Rei made an announcement about the party. For those not familiar, the goal of a Hyakumonogatari Kaidankai is to share stories with other people. Each time a story is finished, one andon (small lantern) is extinguished and the room steadily gets darker. Feel free to have your character post a story of their own in a comment, and discuss to discuss what's been narrated. Linn and I would love to have characters share ghost stories from all sorts of worlds, scary or silly. I hope you guys enjoy this!)

[It's really all she can say, but she turns back to face him, letting out a sigh.]
Sorry...I didn't mean to take it out on you.
no subject
[He means that. Rei wasn't terribly curt, so it's water under the bridge as far as he's concerned.]
I'm sorry your dad's disappointed you. You deserve a good one.
no subject
[Rei attempts to change the subject, obviously slightly uncomfortable]</small? How do I remind you of your family?
no subject
You remind me a little of my sister. She had a strong spirit, too.
no subject
[Rei gives him a surprised look. That's a new one]
How so? And what was she like?
no subject
[He means it as a compliment, although perhaps it doesn't come out that way.]
And she taught me so much. Even though she wasn't that much older than me, I felt like she knew as much as a grown-up.
no subject
[She takes it as a compliment, honestly.]
And...I remind you of her how?
no subject
You have a strong heart, Rei.
no subject
Thank you, Tsuzuki-san. You're a kind man.
no subject
...Thank you.
no subject
I think we're done here for the night. Thank you again for the help.
[She pauses, smiling]
It's a bit late...would you mind walking me home?
no subject
Of course. I'd be delighted to.
