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!)

no subject
[Love is one of those subjects that Tsuzuki doesn't mind talking about, at least. It's good to be reminded of positive things while they live here, and love is definitely one of those things.]
no subject
...how do you find the opportunity to experience it? It does not seem like something that you simply... choose to do.
no subject
[It's a tender and somewhat bittersweet subject for him, so he clenches his hands and places them in his lap, where he strokes his own hand. As always, Tsuzuki's voice is soft when he continues.]
In my experience, it's just something that happens. If you spend enough time with someone, you might actually grow to love them.
no subject
[Sorry Tsuzuki, he really is hopeless at all of this. Though he notices how he's clenching his hands like that, the tone of his voice... Was he hurting?]
...I am not sure exactly what a date involves, but you seem troubled talking about this. Would it be wise to change the subject?
no subject
No! It's okay. I like talking about this.
But I'm not sure I'm the best one to explain it.
no subject
[It seemed like almost an intrusive question, but he had to ask.]
Perhaps you could give me an idea of what a date would involve.
no subject
[He has mixed feelings about admitting it, but what can he do? Lying isn't an alternative, and Eleytheria seems like he genuinely wants to know..]
Sure. I just-- A date is spending a day with someone you really very much. Like, you arrange a dinner so you two can be together and enjoy yourselves.
no subject
Ah... it seems simple enough. But can you not enjoy yourself around friends? Does it become a date when you are alone with one other person? How much do you have to like someone first? How can you tell?
[So many questions!]
no subject
[Oh boy. Those are difficult questions. He scratches the back of his neck.]
Yes. You really feel it when you want to be with someone. It's like yearning for something. But that something is a person.
no subject
It is still strange but... putting it like that, I may know what to look out for at least.
