lap seven // day 270 (open)

[amphibian]

Who: Aoi and every resident of the Bastion she can get her hands on.
Open: HELL YEAH
When: Throughout day 270
Where: WHEREVER YOU ARE; she's hunting people down!
What: Aoi has big plans and a small amount of time and she needs everyone's help to make this party happen!
Format: Action tags preferred, but I'll match!
Warnings: N/A

[As soon as the travel party set out towards the Bastion, Aoi decided what needed to be done. It didn't have to be anything too extravagant, especially since she'd be focusing on making it happen as soon as possible without any pre-planning, but a welcome party for the group of Ura who had come to stay with them was absolutely necessary.

She stayed up late last night putting together something like a plan: scribbling lists of what they'd need, what to do—a tall order, certainly, given all the Bastion's residents, but she wanted the party thrown as soon as possible. If she waited too long, it wouldn't be a welcome party anymore!

With enough help, though, she could get it done in a day.

And that's why Aoi's scurrying up and down the Bastion today. If she hasn't disappeared to go work on her own contributions, she's darting in and out of the public buildings, jogging across the open fields, and heading right in the direction of absolutely anyone she sees—except, of course, their newest residents; she's got a good enough head on her shoulders to be friendly when she passes by any members of the new group of Ura instead of actively avoiding them, but they can't know about the party. A surprise is the only way to go!

So she'll be reaching out to all of the Bastion's other residents—seriously, all of them, even those she doesn't know so well. A group effort is the only thing that's going to make this happen, after all!]

Hey! Hey, you! I need your help! [She'll run over to anyone she spots anywhere, glance around furtively to make sure none of the new Ura can listen in on her top secret party plans, lower her voice, and lean in.]

I wanna throw a party.

(( ooc: Partylog will be a separate post made later! Timing-wise, Aoi will be recruiting assistance throughout the day so that decorations and food and such are prepared, just not put out, and either having people stay up late or wake up early to help put things out during the night so the party's ready the following morning, but we'll probably handwave the actual set-up unless anyone is particularly inclined to threading it out. Tags and partylog might be delayed depending on how bad the blizzard I am smack-dab in the middle of messes with the power. ))

[Question marks she understands!] A party! I wanna throw a party! [Aoi, yelling about the thing you're excited about again and again does not make it any clearer.] Will you help me put it together?

[polariity]

[Man, you know what? Fuck it, fine, he's game. Staring at the window has gotten boring anyway. He gives a shrug of his shoulders.]

[LETS DO THE THING he guesses]

[amphibian]

[A shrug's good enough for her!]

So that's a yes?! All right! Soooo we're gonna neeeeeed...lots of food, since there are lots of us, and some decorations...and some fun stuff for everyone to do... [She counts off on her fingers as she talks, and when she's done, holds her hand out in front of her.] So that's three! Wanna help me cover those? Ooorrr... [She holds up a fourth finger.] Is there something else you'd be better at, d'ya think?

[polariity]

[...He hasn't eaten real food in a while. Like, normal people food. And even then, he might just make everything oranges. After a moment, he holds up two fingers.]

[Let's try door number 2.]

[amphibian]

Decorations! So, I was thinking we could set everything up kinda near the monument, where there's lots of open space but it's not in the middle of nowhere, you know? But we've gotta make it all look good! With...I don't know, maybe some banners and streamers and shiny things...

[polariity]

[Very fuzzily, he thinks he remembers celebrations from another lifetime ago and carefully has his psi form into something in particular- roughly the kind of shape some of the Skyway flowers have.]

[amphibian]

[She squints, trying to make out the shape she's sure she recognizes, then beams.] Oh! Flowers! The Skyway flowers! That's a great idea! We can put 'em in vases on the tables and maybe around the ground... Think you could grab a bunch for me?

[polariity]

[It sounds simple enough, and he's been wanting to go out onto the Skyway anyway... He gives a nod.]

[amphibian]

Great! Thanks a ton!

Oh, just make sure you're going with someone if you're headed out on the Skyway, 'kay? I'd offer but I've gotta make sure everything else gets set up... But it's way safer that way!

[polariity]

[Uuuuugh, but he's strong enough to do it on his own... Fine, he needs a reason to bug Disciple anyway. Giving a mock salute, he floats off back towards the tower.]

[Time to poke the cat.]
