lap eight // day 271 (open) // IT'S PARTY TIME
Who: EVERYBODY
Open: Open
When: 271
Where: In the empty space around the monument!
What:
PARTY MINGLE GO
Format: DO AS YOU PLEASE AND FOLLOW YOUR HEART
Warnings: If anything comes up, put it in the subject lines!
[As everyone wakes up bright and early this morning, it isn't going to be hard to miss what's changed in the empty space around the monument Just in case, though, signs with indicating arrows line the campground where the Bastion's newest guests are staying, reading, in Ura, "This way to the party!"—wait, party?
Oh yes. Anyone Aoi had managed to grab the day before ought to be prepared for this. A great big banner stretched on two poles over the monument reads "Welcome to the Bastion!", written in Ura again; there's a little variation between the handwriting, since Zanya wrote some and Zahi wrote others.
Every last piece of the area that can have something hanging from it does: Zuko's lanterns hang off all the nearby trees, and her streamers, mostly red and sometimes gold, line absolutely everything, including but not limited to all the chairs and tables Ryu got together and helped arrange. Other things you're apt to find everywhere: flowers. Between the Psiioniic, the Disciple, Ghaleon, and Crona, there are more flowers than anyone could ever figure out what to do with. Aoi's best has been done, though: garlands are hung up around furniture, tied around tree trunks, woven through branches, strung between the branches of adjacent trees, wrapped 'round the monument, and so on and so on. A lot of care has been put into making sure they look good instead of just being thrown every which-way.
A few mismatched vases sitting on the tables have some flowers sticking out of them, too—perhaps exactly enough in each to make a flower crown, hmm? There are no party hats, so some improvising will have to be done.
There's all manner of tasty treats placed on all the tables, of course: a platter of picked donuts is to be expected, given Aoi's hand in all this (and thanks to Naegi, there are plenty to go around and they're arranged almost elaborately), but Rin, Zia, and Mirielle have provided all manner of homemade goodies that aren't just Aoi's favorite desserts. Bon's made a cake that Aoi has proudly placed in the center of one round table and surrounded with the rest of the desserts.
Instead of food, one table has a chalkboard propped up on it instead, with a box of colorful chalk beside it. Aoi's already written a small message in the corner—Thank you, everyone! with a smiley face beside it—and doodled a couple of flowers around the edges. The board's five feet long and there's plenty of chalk to go around, so there's certainly room for collaborating on something!
Not far from all the food sits the enormous stack of Legos Aoi purchased at Ibuki's suggestion. Legos. Please keep your shoes on, for the love of god. Some of them have already been arranged to form half the outside of a floor and a chunk of wall up to Aoi's chest so everyone has an idea of what's supposed to be done with things, but there are more than enough to start new projects. On the other side of the monument, closer to the collection of shop buildings than the gazebo, the soccer nets Otoha and Takamura built out of Skyway scraps have been set up (flowers have been woven in and out of the netting, of course). Aoi's brought out not one, but two of the soccer balls given to her during the festival, just in case of a soccer ball malfunction or if the game gets big enough that everyone decides rules are for losers and the only way to play soccer is with multiple things to kick. In the absence of paint, Aoi has decided to use more streamers as field markers.
At the gazebo not far off (naturally, it's covered in streamers and flowers as well), there's a set of speakers and an amplifier ready for use—Ibuki's, of course, and the little note Aoi's written that reads "For Ibuki-chan!" (with the wrong characters for her name, but points for effort) confirms it. Her equipment from Colin has all been set up, too: the spotlights on the top and bottom of the gazebo will shine in all sorts of colors when Ibuki turns them on, and there are some additional bits and pieces to the sound system to help make everything that much noisier. Aside from hanging decor, the space in front of the gazebo has been left empty so that there's enough room to dance!
To the side of the gazebo and just behind it is the unreasonably long rope Shing somehow managed to scrounge up. Like absolutely everything else, it has a chain of flowers wrapped around it. A streamer's been tied around the very center of it in a bow, and hopefully that makes its intended purpose as a tool of tug-of-war obvious enough.
If Aoi has anything to say about it, this is going to be the best goddamn welcome party ever.
Enjoy the festivities!]

The answer "the snack table" shouldn't really surprise anyone at this point. What's different is that she's not eating anything, though: she's asleep.
Yep. A late night following a big Skyway trip, and then an all-nighter to set the party up overnight—she'd had a couple people stay up late and a couple more wake up early to help, but she'd been up all night taking care of the rest of the setup, and now poor Aoi's all tuckered out. As soon as she finished, "I'm gonna sit down for a minute" turned into folding her arms on the table and resting her head there, and that's now where she's taking her nap, snoring lightly every now and again and drooling on her sweatshirt sleeve.
The festivities around her aren't enough to wake her up, but someone coming over and trying would probably do the trick.]
no subject
Uwoah!
How long was Ibuki out?! She didn't miss the party, did she?!
[Yes, she had been napping under the table... but the festivities are just beginning, so fortunately nothing was missed]

At some point though, he disappears for a while. Where did he go? Did he perhaps get tired of all the people and went off to hide somewhere until it's over? Maybe the call of nature was too strong to ignore?
Well, as it turns out, he'd decided that there simply wasn't enough meat for everyone and that this should be remedied. Unfortunately for most everyone, he'd forgotten to actually tell any of this to the resident cooks, thus meaning he had to search for them after he'd already gotten the meat.
Sorry everyone, but the resident blood sucker is hauling a dead elk through the party.]

The grabbing of the food goes as expected, but then an unexpected sight changes everything:
That is a giant pile of Lego.
So this is where Rob's spending this party, reliving (the less terrible parts of) his childhood. He has no idea what to build at first. Then he discovers that green and brown blocks are here now instead of just the standard colors he had when he was a kid. A blocky tree comes first. Then a green apatosaurus. Then it occurs to him that this green would go with something else, and soon there's a crude orc warrior with black hair, red pauldrons and gauntlets, brown loincloth and boots, and a big axe. Then another orc, this one riding a giant black wolf. Then, because they need a home, a burrow for them to live in (a bit challenging to make a round building with Legos). Hm. Maybe they're mates? How about a baby orc? And maybe some Alliance scum for them to slay in defense of their home...
Yeah he's just going to be here for a while, the plate of food beside him completely forgotten.
1/3?
[Ibuki laughs happily as she runs up, seemingly not noticing Rob but then-]

Still, at the moment he was just taking a break on the outskirts of the party, a cup of Hearty Punch in hand as he just sat back and enjoyed the day for what it was. Hopefully this party was a sign of positive things to come in their relationship with the Ura...and just positive things in general.
Feel free to come bug him about stuff, or just sit and chat for a while.]

Lillil decided to come with her today, walking beside her trainer happily. Zorua was in her arms, because the little one wouldn't let the two mommy figures of the household go anywhere without taking her. She's still attached to mommies.
Zorua barks happily at anyone and everyone, while Lillil looks on happily. There's a smile on Hilda's face.

In particular, he's checking the strength of that giant rope he dragged over just so it doesn't break or do something unexpected, especially since they'll be using that later for tug-of-war against the dragon. Fuck yeah.
Once he's done and satisfied with his inspection he's just gonna wander over to the food table to get himself something to eat.

But unlike Aoi she made sure to do it in the safety and relative quiet of the kitchen while Mirielle and Zia finished whatever work might be left. They were understanding enough to leave her be during that.
She wasn't going to entirely miss the party. That would just be silly. Granted being around so many Ura that she had only ever seen in passing up until then was a little... awkward. Especially because a lot of them kept staring at her tail, clearly too polite to just come up and ask her about it. It wasn't exactly putting Rin in the party mood, all things considered.
She likely would have been more social otherwise, but instead if anyone was actively (or not so actively) looking for her they will find her with a plate of snacks on her lap, sitting on one of the more secluded sides of the gazebo quietly people-watching rather than actively engaging anyone.]

Rin-chaaaaaaaaaan!
What are you doing all by yourself here? Gosh, there's so many wallflowers in this party! Come on, come on! Now's not the time to be lying in the wall dropping petals! It's a party!

Okay, that's not really what's happening. In fact he's being quite social in his own way. Sketchbook and pencils in hand, he has run up to every person he possible can, Ura and not-Ura alike asking with utter excitement if he could please please please draw them. You see, that idea he had so long ago about doing a mural for the Bastion is finally coming to fruition. He just needs references! All the references ever!
But of course drawing does take time and focus, and in between his bursts of excited asking he can naturally be found touching up those sketches of the many, many faces he has captured with his pencil. Soft humming can sometimes be heard wherever he's plopped himself down to work on things, but should you wait too long to talk to him you might find that you've blinked and missed him! He's off again, running up to yet another person to ask them that same question.
Oh Haruka...]

OTA please bug him too kthx
... mostly because he had about four Pokemon crying out that if he didn't go he was going to get sat on and summarily dragged following that.
Gosh it's like they want him to be social or something.
So there he is with his own menagerie (Woobat, Swablu, Zorark and Darumaka) not that far from where Hilda is standing. He's being his usual quiet, distant self, but his Pokemon are more than happy to pick up the social slack for their trainer. Darumaka even makes a food run for all of them, round little body wobbling back on tiny feet while carrying several plates of food for the lot of them.]

Looks like the kids are eager to see you enjoy yourself, N.

[There's a wallflower near the party. A pretty skinny, teenage wallflower that some people might not know. Tobias has a plate of food and is picking at it carefully, not really sure what to do. He's a little worried about talking to the Ura, because how do you explain that the telepathic bird can also turn into things?]
[You can't, really.]
[But he'll be friendly enough if people approach him.]
[Option B]
[He can only stay human for a little bit, after all. Tobias perches on one of the chairs as the party continues, looking around at people. He's glad that he can at least participate here.]
[... He flies over to the Lego pile after a bit and starts moving the blocks carefully to start constructing a tower. Because why not? It takes a lot of fluttering and a lot of slamming blocks together ineffectively, but at least it's kind of fun.]
no subject
... It really helps that you know what you're doing with those. How goes it?
[He grins down at Tobias.]
Between you and Paar, I've got to find a way to make a set of manipulators that aren't energy intensive...

[ Now that Duke was reassured that the last-second worry was just a last-second worry, the knight can be found wandering around in the afternoon. ]
Don't head home right when it gets dark.
{b}
[ When it is actually dark, Duke is.. hard to find.
Of course, a couple minutes after it gets proper dark, why the knight had been telling people not to leave just yet might be clear. Off from the skyway landing, there are three bursts of fireworks, all shades of red-orange-yellows, all vaguely flower like, and all shooting up in sort of random directions without much sound. Each burst is about 10 seconds, and has maybe 12 explosions, but. Hey, fireworks.
... So if you miss the first batch, oops. Duke forgot something about fireworks, and there isn't any "bangs", but some rushing noise. ]
{c}
[ There is a sleepy looking Duke after the fireworks are done. Feel free to stop the knight on the way back to the apartments. ]

Later that night, after fireworks, at the iBooty Shuffle
[And so, inside said venue, Ibuki will be found (with hopefully at least a decent sized crowd of Uras?) on stage with her guitar at ready]
Thank you for comiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing! Ibuki is here to play you something reaaaallllly awesome! Are you ready? Yeah! Here we go, it's the tireless Ibuki's brand of metal, piercing through the veil of the sound barrier!
Ibuki calls this song, "Let My Feelings Reach You Too!"
[And she launches into this song right here.]
[Feel free to just reaction-face at it, but if you want to talk to her about it after the show that's cool too]

[At first, Zia gravitates towards the chalkboard, largely because there isn't a whole lot going on there. Damn wallflowers. First she adds a couple more flowers around the edges of it, a couple with stripes or dots patterned in their petals. Then she adds some hearts, a comma shape distinguishable as a Squirt only by its colors, and a sudden sense of daring strikes her and she tries to draw a bird.
Tries. All attempts to make it look more feathery only further confuse the drawing's intended form.]
B
[Guess who definitely isn't an athlete at all? But since there isn't a game actively going on at the moment, Zia doesn't feel bad about taking up space by the soccer nets. Attempts to pass the ball between her own feet turn into a hard kick towards the goal—
And instead the ball goes too high and veers back towards the festivities.]
Oh! Look out!
C
[After she spends a while socializing, Zia takes the shortage of her tiny fruit brownies as an excuse to duck into the kitchen for a little bit—being around so many people for so long wears on her.
Not quite an hour later, she emerges with a tray of more bite-sized brownies—and also another drink pitcher, and also some fruit slices, and she needed something to do while the oven heated up since she had some batter already and maybe there's more food she needs to get back there, what of it.
Everything's balanced a little precariously, though, and she's veeery slowly shuffling her way back over to the snack table. Trying to carry the drink pitcher with everything else was probably not her best idea, but she's already gotten this far.]
Excuse me...sorry...
[Don't mind her as she makes her way through and around everyone—or maybe do before she trips over a lego or something.]
B
[He maintains his footing, but yeah, that was a pretty good thump to the noggin there, and he sways just a bit on his feet as he turns slowly to look in Zia's direction.]
Stray shot?
SORRY NOT SORRY

Crona walks around the party, giving people awkward smiles. Ragnarok is holding multiple plates of food (one in each hand, one balancing on Crona's head) and messily stuffing his face. Thankfully, he hasn't gotten into any alcohol. Crona's pet squirt (still rather undersized) is also present, occasionally perching on Ragnarok's head, or Crona's shoulder.
Eventually, Crona's going to start building a copy of an unusual building out of those legos. Ragnarok's going to keep knocking it down.]
no subject
[He's already had a ton of food, but that doesn't stop Rin from attempting to placate him with more sweets so Crona can finish that building they're trying to construct.]
