Day 255 [Open] First rule of Pillow Fight Club: Never talk about Pillow Fight Club

[scary_music]

Who: Ibuki and you! And pillows!
Open: Open
When: Mostly noon/afternoon.
Where: Everywhere in the Bastion.
What: Ibuki's bored and is attacking everybody with pillows
Format: Action but ok with switching
Warnings: Pillow abuse


[Sometime after lunch, Ibuki's voice will ring out from everybody's amulet that is within the Bastion's communication range-]

IBUKI IS DECLARING IT NOW. THIS. IS. PILLOW WAR!!!!!!!

[Ibuki will not be responding to amulet network messages that reply to her]

[Rather, she is running around with a bunch of pillows. Should she spot you, prepare yourelf, for she could do a number of things]

[1: Should you not notice her, she'll try to sneak up behind you and bop you on the back of the head with a pillow. If it looks like you're in the middle of important work, it'll be a very soft bop]

[2: If you're watching her, she'll run up to you and try to pillow bop your face]

[3: There is no 3]

[4: She may be hiding around a corner, and when you get close... "BWAH!" Pillow to the face!]

[5: Even dragons aren't safe from pillows.]

[6: If she knows you fairly well, especially if you're a member of her band, she might be coming into your bedroom directly to pillow fight you.]

[Zuko opens her mouth to protest that she's not going to explode, remembers she's a firebender, shuts it.]

...

I don't think pillow fights are my thing.

[What her thing is, she has no idea. When was the last time she had fun? With Mai?]

[scary_music]

Mmmm... it must call to your warrior spirit too much to consider it fun, maybe that's it! That might be it, right?

We can do something else! But Ibuki's not sure what you think is fun, she's only just met you!

Hey, Zuko-chan, Zuko-chan, suggest something! There's got to be something, right? Right?

[daughterofursa]

[Suggest something?]

I don't know either.

[scary_music]

Oooh...

Well, how about... we can play ding dong ditch! [Except there's no doorbells but-]

You knock on people's doors and run away before they answer! So invigorating!!

[daughterofursa]

Why would you do that? You're just wasting people's time.

[scary_music]

For the sake of fun! You never know if you're going to get caught or not, they could be right at the door when you knock and then... bwah! The jig is up, you've been caught!

It doesn't waste much time, only a little!

[daughterofursa]

I already know I can avoid getting caught.

[scary_music]

Ooohhh... then that's no fun.

Then, what about headbanging? Have you ever done that before, Zuko-chan? Have you?

[daughterofursa]

...only if that means banging your head against the wall in frustration.

[scary_music]

Nope, not at all!

Watch Ibuki! It's more like this!

[And well... she starts headbanging, whipping her head back and forth almost impossibly quick...]

[daughterofursa]

...

You're just really weird, aren't you?

[scary_music]

...............

............

.........

Yes. But that's beside the point, don't worry about that, Zuko-chan! You give it a try, you might like it! You never know! It could surprise you!

[daughterofursa]

......

This is the stupidest..

[She whips her head down and back once and just--]

No.

[Gonna fix her hair now thx.]

[scary_music]

Ooh, tough crowd! The toughest!

... What about chocobo riding? Ibuki saw them earlier, maybe that's more like Zuko-chan's thing?

Ibuki doesn't know how to ride anything like that though...

[daughterofursa]

I know how to ride, but what's a chocobo?

[scary_music]

They're big, yellow, fluffy birds that people ride on! Sometimes!

Come on, come on, Ibuki will show you!

[Ibuki will take Zuko by the hand (or... try to?) to show her where the chocobos are]

[daughterofursa]

You don't mean the ostrich horses...

[Those are big rideable birds but they aren't yellow.

Zuko lets Ibuki lead her there, fine with the hand-holding as long as it serves some purpose.]

[scary_music]

Mmm... nope! Not those! The chocobos!

[Soon enough, they arrive at the chocobo stable-]

See? See? Chocobos!

[daughterofursa]

I didn't know we had so many birds here.

[scary_music]

It's a surprise, isn't it?

Birds, everywhere! There might be birds in the birds, too! Birdception!

[daughterofursa]

What?

[Birdception? You've lost her.]

[scary_music]

[Sorry Zuko she's moving right along-]

Ooh, Zuko-chan, Zuko-chan, so you can ride, right? Maybe you can teach Ibuki how to ride! She's never ridden before! She's a city girl, after all!

But riding a chocobo seems like it could be fun! How about it? Will you teach Ibuki?

[daughterofursa]

I could, but I don't know about these birds...

[She holds out a hand to one of them.]

They seem friendly enough, but are they trained to ride?

[scary_music]

Ibuki's pretty sure they are! Very sure! Not 100% sure, but very!

They seem nice enough, right? Right? So cute, too!

[daughterofursa]

...yeah.

[She's agreeing with the nice. Not the cute. Of course. Let her just scritch this one. You like that, bird? What's that? Is she smiling? Maybe.]

Don't they belong to someone?

[She probably shouldn't make a habit of stealing bird horse things.]
