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. ))

[Jogging along what had become his usual route since arriving in Bastion, Takamura would be quite surprised when a young lady comes running up to get his attention. If it had been a guy, he'd have shown hardly any interest but the girl looked cute so he'd come to a stop and give her a moment to catch up.]

Hmmm? You needing help with something?

[amphibian]

[She understands the importance of daily jogs, so she'll keep up running (backwards, so she can face him) just a couple steps past him as she speaks, and she'll cheerfully jog alongside him as the conversation continues if he keeps moving, too.]

Yeah! I wanna surprise the group that came back with us with a welcome party tomorrow, but if we're gonna get it done on such short notice I need all hands on deck!

[kuma_killer]

[Takamura wouldn't keep running and would come to a stop as she'd come in front of him. Listening, he considers whether or not he wants to be involved. In the end, it pretty much comes down to him not having much else to do.]

A party, huh? Alright, I suppose I could lend you a hand with that. What sort of things will we need to do?

[amphibian]

[Not having anything better to do is a good enough reason for her, as long as party-making is happening.]

Great! Thank you! Um...Can you cook at all? 'cause we're gonna need lots of food for everybody... But we could use more decorations, too, and more party games!

[kuma_killer]

Me? Cook? Not unless you want everyone eating ramen from a cup.

[amphibian]

Ehehe, okay, no cooking, then. Wanna help get some games and stuff together? We came up with a couple ideas but there's gonna be lots of us so there's gotta be lots to do!

[kuma_killer]

I guess I can lend my incredible strength and stamina to your cause. It won't be much of a workout, but since you're asking so nicely it'd be rude of me to refuse.

[He's definitely not puffing out his chest as he says this. Nope, certainly not. If it looks that way, Aoi's likely seeing things.]<

[amphibian]

Hehe, party games aren't really heavy-duty stuff! [Oh, of course she's just imagining it. The thought is funny enough to make her smirk a little, though.] ...Unless you're any good at building things? Someone else said they'd get the materials for me, but we were gonna put together some soccer nets so everyone could play!

[kuma_killer]

[Actually, he's never really tried to build anything, but he's a guy so surely it can't be that hard, right?]

I used to wager my life on these hands so I'm sure they won't let me down.

[amphibian]

[Put that testosterone to good use!!] Awesome! Thanks a bunch! Do you know Otoha? Fluffy hair, kind of a jerk—anyway, he left for the Skyway a li'l while ago to find stuff to build the nets with, so I'll have him find you if you don't get to him first. Oh, I'm Aoi Asahina, by the way!

[kuma_killer]

[He's got buckets of the stuff!]

Never heard of him, but I'll see if I can't find him or you can send'em my way. I'm Takamura Mamoru...everyone just calls me Takamura.

[amphibian]

Nice t'meet ya, Takamura! I'm sure I'll catch up with him in no time. Just remember it's a surprise party, 'kay, so careful not to spill the beans!
