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 2: Saya and Sun Wukong - ref images below
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
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.

Outfit refs - backless black or red sundress, not terribly picky on details
Character 2: Sun Wukong
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.
