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.]

[And Ibuki's quick to react, heeling her own chocobo and sending it running forward]

Here we go, here we go, it's the Bastion's first official chocobo race!

Or maybe not! Ibuki has no clue, she hasn't been here long! Let's do our best, Choco-chan!!

[As quick as Ibuki is to learn what she puts her mind to, it's still her first race, so it's unlikely she's going to win this thing...]

[daughterofursa]

[Yeah, Zuko has had more riding experience. These might not be ostrich horses, but they're pretty similar. If anything, the birds seem to enjoy the speed even more.

Ibuki's not going to get much conversation out of Zuko until the race is finished. She's more focused on the goal.]

[scary_music]

[Ibuki's just... jabbering away the whole race, but doesn't really say much of any importance, really]

[And soon enough, a winner is you, Zuko! Ibuki soon comes in at second place]

Ooh! Ibuki lost! How can she face her fans, she let them all down...!!!

Ibuki was outmatched by Zuko-chan's superior skill! Ibuki needs to train harder!!!

[daughterofursa]

[Zuko might be looking a little smug.]

I didn't know you had any racing fans.

[scary_music]

Oooh, Zuko-chan, your words strike deep and with much cruelty!!

But it's true, none of Ibuki's fans expected her to be racing, so they're not her racing fans! You've uncovered Ibuki's terrible secret! How will she live this down?!

[daughterofursa]

[Smugness gone at the accusation of her cruelty.]

It was only your first time.

[scary_music]

[Zuko you need to stop taking everything that Ibuki says at face value-]

That's true, that's true!

Maybe someday, Ibuki will be able to provide a real challenge to Zuko-chan's racing prowess!

Wait, wait, Ibuki knows! How about an on-foot race? Ibuki loves races, so invigorating! Ibuki works her legs so much, surely she can provide a decent challenge for you in the on-foot race arena, Zuko-chan!

[daughterofursa]

[She doesn't do it with everything.

Mostly just the things that are about her.]

Are you asking for a rematch?

[scary_music]

A rematch, yes! But without the chocobos this time!

How about it, how about it? Ibuki's ready if you are, Zuko-chan!

[daughterofursa]

...all right.

[She just has to dismount first and give her chocobo a nice scritch.]

[scary_music]

[Ibuki pretty much follows suit, giving her chocobo a lot of pettings and scritchings-]

Sorry, Choco-chan, sorry! Ibuki's not experienced with riding you yet! Maybe someday, Ibuki will be a worthy rider for you!

[daughterofursa]

I'm sure it won't take that long.

[scary_music]

Oooh, hopefully! Hopefully! But Ibuki's whims are many, it could take her longer than you expect! She might be distracted by something shiny! Or delicious! Or shiny delicious!

[daughterofursa]

Shiny delicious?

[Zuko shakes her head. Sure, why not.]

[scary_music]

A delicious thing that's shiny!

Okay, Zuko-chan, let's get ready! Let's do it! The racing thing!

[daughterofursa]

The Monument and back?

[scary_music]

Ooh, ooh, wait, wait... let's up the stakes this time!

Around the whole Bastion until we come back to the stables! Let's do it, Zuko-chan, let's race around the whole Bastion!

[daughterofursa]

All right. The whole Bastion.

[Zuko readies herself, does the countdown, and takes off.

This race... might be more of a toss-up considering how much energy Ibuki has, but Zuko is pretty damn athletic so she won't be easy to beat.]

[scary_music]

[While Ibuki didn't have Zuko's muscles, she was still rather athletic herself. She had to keep in good shape to be able to perform a full concert in top form, as one would expect from the Super High School Level Light Music Club Member]

[daughterofursa]

[Sadly Zuko is not Super High School Level anything. But it's still neck-and-neck, the two of them keeping in pretty close distance of one another as they make their lap around the Bastion...!]

[scary_music]

[And as they near the stables, Ibuki suddenly lets out ... a scream? A war-cry? Something like that, but whatever that was, she's suddenly pushing herself even harder for the home stretch...!]

[daughterofursa]

[Woah, what the? The noise almost makes Zuko trip, and it's enough to let Ibuki take the lead.]

[scary_music]

[... tripping up Zuko wasn't really Ibuki's intent, but there she goes, across the finish line!]

Ooh, ooh, it was a close one, so close! Somehow, it happened!

Ibuki's not sure how it happened! It's a surprise! Good race, Zuko-chan!

[Yeah she's... not even winded...]

[daughterofursa]

[Neither is Zuko. Good to know they're both in shape.]

Yeah.

..I'm impressed.

[scary_music]

You almost had it, though, Zuko-chan! Almost! Exhilarating!

It's been so long since Ibuki's had a race like that! Thank you for racing Ibuki, Zuko-chan! Ibuki had lots of fun! She hopes you did, too!
