Slumber Party~ (Backdated)

[funnygirl]

Who: Belle, Beast, and whoever wants to come!
What: Slumber Party
When: Friday 13th, in the evening.
Where: House 17
Summary: Belle is throwing a slumber party open to the whole village! it's a totally gender equal thing
Rating: PG? PG-13? R because of Isaac?


Belle has spent most of the day preparing the house for the nightly festivities. She went out and got as much food and snacks and she and Beast could carry (which is a lot). She's also swept through every extra room in the house, laying out extra pillows and blankets where guests are sure to find them. Each room has enough sleeping supplies for about two people, so hopefully people will be bringing their own things as she asked.

As far as party plans go, it's a free-for-all. If anyone has any game or activity suggestions then they should come forward with them. After all, this is Belle's first slumber party and she doesn't know all of the traditions just yet. Except for one: pillow fights.

[Belle has left the front door wide open and stands in front of it to welcome people as they come in. She'll direct people to drop their food off in the kitchen, and their sleeping equipment in one of the bedrooms. When the crowd begins to settle she'll go around offering people refreshments. It's important to her to be a good host.]

[Eleanor isn't even entirely sure why she had decided to come, but she had, so there she is, walking quietly up to the open door in a swishy, long black skirt and a pretty dark purple vest, her hands clenched nervously behind her back. But she manages a smile at Belle when she sees her by the door.]

Ah...Hello.

[funnygirl]

[She smiles immediately when she catches sight of Eleanor and welcomes her in. Belle is glad that she chose to come. She had not been sure that she would.]

Hello, Eleanor. I'm so glad you could make it. People are only just arriving now, but there is food in the kitchen and plenty of places to sit inside.

[notyourutopian]

[She doesn't move much further inside than the door, looking around almost sheepishly.]

...Are you expecting it to be very crowded?

[funnygirl]

[She watches her thoughtfully.]

I'm not sure. I invited anyone who would like to come. I know of maybe ten people who will be arriving for sure.

[notyourutopian]

Mm. Ten would not be so bad. [She manages a little smile, looking embarrassed.]

I'm still adjusting to crowds.

[funnygirl]

That's quite alright. You can leave whenever you like if it gets too crowded for you. I only ask that you take whatever leftovers you wish along. Otherwise Beast and I will be left with my leftovers than we could possibly finish.

[notyourutopian]

...Leftovers?

[She comes from a place where food didn't get left over, so the idea is a bit baffling...she tends to eat absolutely everything people give her. Just in case.]

[funnygirl]

Extra food left over. We have quite the overabundance of food it would seem. Even for a party as large as this one could be.

[notyourutopian]

[Eleanor frowns at that, and then shakes her head, looking embarrassed.]

Sorry. Some things are still very strange to me. It took me almost a month just to get used to eating this food...

I suppose I can agree to take some with me.

[funnygirl]

I understand. Some of the food here is unlike anything I've ever tried before. But you can choose what you wish to take of course.

[notyourutopian]

[Another nod, but another hesitation.]

So what made you want to do this?

[Yes, she is putting off going inside.]

[funnygirl]

Well...I felt it was a good time. Enough time has passed since the Shift, and I want to help people put it out of their mind. What better way then to do something fun and new?

[notyourutopian]

[Eleanor nods.]

Right, but I mean why...this? Why not simply have a party, or a dance? Why invite people to sleep in your home?

[funnygirl]

It was something I heard about from a friend. I've never done it before as good an idea as any regular party.

...Does it make you uncomfortable?

[notyourutopian]

...No. [It wasn't a lie, precisely.] It's just strange to me. Mother never had visitors who weren't her patients. I wasn't even allowed to have friends when I was little.

And after everything that happened, there was hardly anyone alive in the city my age who would...well, I just...

The idea of just inviting a crowd of people into your home, it's...odd.
