A Very Happy Birthday
Your presence is requested
All of Kantera's (and Saya's) CR will get an invitation delivered to them, describing a two-part birthday event for Kantera on August 13! The first part is a formal tea ceremony (kimonos and yukatas provided) and the second part is a casual time at the karaoke bar. We hope you can make it! You can attend either or both as desired.
Gifts and cheer welcome!
Whether you bring them to the tea ceremony or the karaoke bar, we approve of spoiling Kantera in this house. Gifts are not required but Saya encourages you to make her husband fluster with a present.
Tea and a show
Wearing a red kimono and with her hair long and done up, Saya greets you at the front of their home and leads you into the lush garden, where the tea ceremony is taking place. They have a large selection of kimonos, yukatas, and all the accessories and someone will help you put it on if you need it. The garden is decorated with tatami mats, red parasols, and gorgeous flower arrangements in red and purple. The tea ceremony is an art form and Saya performs it with grace, making excellent green tea for all attendees to sample. After the ceremony, there is a reception with traditional Japanese finger foods such as onigiri, edamame, dumplings, takoyaki, and yakitori.
Karaoke and chill
Later that evening at the karaoke bar, the environment and dress is much more casual. There are snacks and drinks including a full bar and singing is optional, but encouraged. Saya starts the night off with a couple of songs in her stunning singing voice and then encourages anyone who would like to serenade the gathering to do so. Else, you are more than welcome to watch and applaud those who do choose to sing and mingle with the other invitees between songs.
IMAGE 1: Saya and Red Son - ref images below
Date: Oct. 9th, 2023 06:47 pm (UTC)DESCRIPTION: Saya (wearing a backless black cheongsam with red & gold flame details and a garnet and gold beaded bracelet, her eyes glowing red) approaching Red Son (wearing a red coat over a black high neck shirt) in a flirty/suggestive manner, Red Son is blushing and his hair is on fire/smoldering. Saya is a few inches shorter than he is.
Vibe is "they're a couple but she knows how to push his buttons and gets a kick out of doing it just because."
Character 1: Saya Otonashi
Date: Oct. 9th, 2023 08:42 pm (UTC)Saya has short, black hair that frames her face. She is petite and has softer curves but definitely feminine. She has red eyes which glow when she's piqued. She is a vampire so if she's smiling widely enough her fangs might show, but the expression being well suited to the prompt is way more important than having visible fangs.
She is a big flirt and knows how to make Red Son react, enjoys seeing him fluster a bit but it's definitely not intended to be torture or make him unhappy. Going for cute and drawing him in, not making him want to back away.
Outfit is a black cheongsam with delicate red and gold flame details. Has an open back like what is pictures. On her right wrist she wears a garnet and gold beaded bracelet which Red Son gave her.

Date: Oct. 9th, 2023 10:09 pm (UTC)Character 2: Red Son
Date: Oct. 9th, 2023 08:49 pm (UTC)He's a fire demon so his hair/ponytail is supposed to look like flames and turns into fire when he has strong emotions, he has pointed ears sort of like an elf, has a cross scar on one cheek, and wears small sunglasses. He's meant to be fairly androgynous and pretty.
Tends to have pretty intense feelings so his reaction to Saya flirting with him would be a substantial blush and fire in his hair, even though he's used to her and isn't put off by it or unhappy about it.
He is a about 2-3 inches taller than Saya.
(Note: googling Red Son will get you a Lego version since his canon has a Lego art style, but I definitely want him looking more humanlike which is why I included these images.)

Date: Oct. 9th, 2023 09:28 pm (UTC)IMAGE 2: Saya and Sun Wukong - ref images below
Date: Oct. 9th, 2023 06:50 pm (UTC)DESCRIPTION: Saya (wearing a backless sundress in red or black) and Sun Wukong (wearing what's in below images), standing with their foreheads touching, Saya's hands on his face. She is maybe 6 inches shorter than he is and has to pull him down a bit/stretch upwards to do this.
Vibe is "soft/vulnerable moment where it's unclear whether this is shippy or just very close friends, but they just shared something Important."
Character 1: Saya Otonashi
Date: Oct. 9th, 2023 09:12 pm (UTC)Saya has short, black hair that frames her face. She is petite and has softer curves but definitely feminine. Her eyes are red (more an auburn shade). She has a warm smile and a kind, accepting look on her face. Her hands are cupping his face to keep him close as their foreheads touch.
She is several inches shorter than he is so she has to pull him down/stretch up to do this pose.
Outfit is a backless sundress in red or black, style examples below.

Date: Oct. 10th, 2023 12:52 pm (UTC)Character 2: Sun Wukong
Date: Oct. 9th, 2023 09:25 pm (UTC)Wukong (aka the Monkey King) is a monkey that dresses and like a human and has human mannerisms, he has light brown fur and a long tail. On his face, over his eyes, is a pinkish-brown mask shaped like a wide heart and has fur covering his face on both sides, sort of like very bushy sideburns. He has golden eyes -- solid gold basically, with a hint of white for an iris. He has a nose that's definitely more monkey than human. His hands have some fur on the back of them and are a bit sharper/pointer at the tips/nails than human hands.
He is leaning down to touch his forehead to Saya's with his face held in her hands. His expression is vulnerable but soft and appreciative, they just had a long heart-to-heart and although he is nervous about opening himself up, he knows he can trust her.
Clothing is as shown in the reference images, very traditional Chinese/Eastern adventuring clothes and a red cloak. He has a small gold cap with long, dramatic red phoenix feathers sticking from it.

Date: Oct. 10th, 2023 01:01 pm (UTC)Saya - OTA
Date: Aug. 10th, 2024 06:05 pm (UTC)Wearing a gorgeous and impeccably neat red kimono with her hair done half up fancily, Saya greets every guest with a bow and welcomes you to the tea ceremony. If desired, she will show you to the dressing area to change into a traditional Japanese attire.
After she performs the tea ceremony, Saya brings delicious green tea around to everyone to sample, in teacups featuring little dragon motifs. She also brings around Japanese snack food for everyone.
"I hope you're enjoying the party so far. Don't forget we have a karaoke portion coming up a bit later as well! I do hope you'll be able to come and celebrate with us."
Karaoke
Saya is more than happy to take the first few songs of the evening to get things started. First off, it's tradition now for Saya to sing Devil Went Down to Georgia (since she and Kantera met in Hell and she plays the violin, it was mandatory!). But she has a special guest: Lucifer himself, playing a golden fiddle. The two of them perform the song with all due flair and talent, taking full advantage of the humor.
After that, Saya sings a fun and upbeat song about everything being happy and fun in order to get things going. Her voice is strong and clear and gorgeous and she performs the song with high energy and a large amount of hope, especially given where her mood has been lately. Nothing less for her precious husband.
Following her performances, she can be found offering snacks to people, fetching drinks, and generally mingling. She approaches each person who sings to compliment them on their performance.
