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.]

[windgod]

Absolutely! I do have a confession to make though.

[Reluctantly, he did rise and move over towards his closet area, placing a hand on the door with a few pats.]

Do you remember what I said about the drums?

[scary_music]

Right, right, the drums! Ibuki remembers! You still need drums, or else Ippo-chan can't be Ibuki's music in partner!

If Ippo tries to drum on the air, it won't work! So embarrassing! Ippo-chan, air drumming doesn't work!

[windgod]

Well...I really wanted to surprise you, but I'm just kind of awful at surprises.

[He opened the door and reached both hands in...before dragging out a higher-end looking drumset...a nice shiny metallic blue and white, fitting his usual preferred color scheme.]

So...surprise! Did...I get a good set? I just asked for a high end one so I think it's good!

1/2

[scary_music]

KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!

[I mean, gosh, it feels like ages now since Ibuki's seen a drum set, she really can't help but scream-]

2/2

[scary_music]

Ippo-chan! Ippo-chan, you tricked Ibuki!

THAT'S SO MEAN!!! DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG IT'S BEEN SINCE IBUKI'S SEEN A DRUM SET, DO YOU?!

IPPO-CHAN!!!!!!!!!!!!

[And she... sorta does some weird group hug between Ippo and the drums while he's still pulling it out]

[windgod]

[The hug was...awkward at best but thankfully Ippo managed to hold his ground and to not fall over on his brand new kit. That would just be terrible.]

I-I'm sorry! I...wanted to show it to you later, surprise you somehow! I'm just...not very good at those yet.

[scary_music]

It's okay, it's okay!

Ippo-chan, it's a drum set! You finally got a drum set! The real band practice can finally start! It's a magical day!

But first, but first... Ibuki wants to play it! Can she, can she?! It's been so long, Ibuki wants to flail her limbs about on the drums!

[windgod]

Of course, play as much as you want.

[He smiled that goofy smile of his and handed over the pair of drumsticks that had come with it, waiting to see just what kind of music Ibuki could make with this thing...and wondering just what she'd be able to teach him.]

[scary_music]

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHeeeheeheeeeeeeeeee!

[Yup, that sure was a squeal as she took the drumsticks]

Ippo-chan, watch closely, watch! It's Ibuki's drumming, coming right at you live in Ippo-chan's apartment!

Ooh, Ibuki's all alone with Ippo-chan in his apartment! Scandalous!

Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa~!

[She sets herself down at the drums as she just keeps... going on like that, spinning the drumsticks and... well, wow, that's some serious drumming she's got going on there, now]

[windgod]

[He was getting a little better at handling the random embarrassing quips, so at least he was able to shrug that one off. Instead he focused himself intently on watching Ibuki's hands as she went to town on the drum set...and honestly it was actually really impressive, impressive enough to leave him captivated by it at least.]

Wow...I haven't seen hand speed that fast outside a boxing ring before...that's really impressive!

[scary_music]

Mmhm!

Isn't it, isn't it? Ibuki wouldn't have the title of Super Ultimate Music Person if she couldn't do this much!

[Ibuki get your title right-]

But it's not so hard, it's not! You just need to be able to move all your limbs independently of each other, and you're good to go! ... just kidding! But don't worry, Ippo-chan, don't worry! Ibuki's here to teach you!

[windgod]

Thank you, I'll definitely need the help.

[He wasn't sure how good he'd be off the bat...probably not at all, but if his history in boxing was any indication, then it was clear that if he dedicated himself to learning, then he could really get good at it.]

I'll do my best!

[scary_music]

Ibuki believes in you, Ippo-chan! As long as you stick with Ibuki, she'll turn you into one of the best drummers that the Bastion has ever seen! Maybe even better than Ibuki, who knows?! Super Ultimate Level Drummer! It'd be the most surprising thing ever, surpassing Ibuki! She would be so proud!

Eeeeee!

[She laughs happily, before suddenly giving Ippo another hug]

[windgod]

[The hug was happily accepted and returned...maybe with some snuggles thrown in for some good measure.]

I don't think I'll ever be that good, but I'll become the very best I can be, and that's a promise!

[scary_music]

You never know, Ippo-chan! You never know!

Try your hardest, and you may just yet make dreams come true! Something magical may happen!

[windgod]

That's true, something magical happened already, so who's to say it won't happen again?

[Ippo...was that you being smooth? Wow. The boy still has surprises yet!]

[scary_music]

Kyaaaa~ So smooth, Ippo-chan! Smooth like Ibuki's iBooty! Ibuki can feel her doki dokis acting up again!!!

[windgod]

Hmm?

[He was too busy blushing to really catch that iBooty comment, though it likely would have been met with even more blushing.]

I...well thanks, but...I meant it. I'm just really, really happy! I suppose the doki dokis really are contagious?

[scary_music]

Mm, mm!

Ooh, what comes next? What's next?

Ibuki knows!

We need to share a doki doki tropical juice, Ippo-chan! Let's go, let's go share!

[And she's... suddenly pulling Ippo out]

[windgod]

A...a what?

[Ippo was quite easily dragged out by Ibuki, though he couldn't at all know what a Doki Doki Tropical Juice was. Some kind of fruity drink maybe? He liked those.]

[scary_music]

A doki doki tropical juice! It's delicious! So tropical, and it's topical, too! Look forward to it, Ippo-chan, look forward to it!

[Ibuki that's not explaining anything]

[Either way, after they leave the apartment building, they're clearly heading for the kitchen]

[windgod]

[Ah, so it was some kind of fruity drink thing, he could get behind that.]

Alright, alright! That actually sounds pretty good...what's it made out of?

[scary_music]

That's a good question! Ibuki has no clue!

[And in the kitchen they are!]

Let's just grab all the fruits we can find and blend them up! Delicious!

[Ibuki starts grabbing at least one of each fruit she can find...]

[... and a jelly filled donut]

[windgod]

[A doughnut...? Well...he wasn't entirely sure about this entire idea but...it couldn't hurt he supposed. So he'd get a bowl ready for mixing and a wooden spoon to do it with before grabbing a knife to chop all those big things into little things.]

Sounds kind of like a fruit smoothie! I remember liking the one I had once.

[scary_music]

[And Ibuki found the booze, whups-]

Ooh, how about we add some of these! Hearty Punch! It sounds delicious!

[She pulls out a few bottles...]
