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!]

I.. don't know about that, but Aoi worked hard to make sure this was welcoming for them. That music isn't exactly... welcoming.
no subject
Like, culture gap! Uwah!
Gyaaaaaaa- Ibuki is totally going to jam out some death metal at the venue when this is over!!!
M-maybe some of the Urara-chans would like to listen in on that? Maybe some of them will like it?!?!?
no subject
[Zuko is skeptical but you never know.]
I'm sure some of them will at least be willing to try it now that they've heard your other stuff.
no subject
Well, well, they can at least try it if they want! We can say something like... like...
Hey, Ibuki's going to jam out some really heavy music in the venue now! Way more metal than what she did at the party!
Yeah, it'll be like a party after the party!
no subject
no subject
Ibuki can make an announcement at the end! Unless Ibuki wears herself out by then! Whoops!
So, so, Zuko-chan, Zuko-chan... why don't you ask Aoi-chan to dance? Ibuki can put on a slow, romantic song for you two!
no subject
[If Ibuki wanted her to yell before, there's definitely some volume in that...]
What makes you think I'd want to do that? I don't even know how to dance!
no subject
You're in luck, then, Zuko-chan! Ibuki can teach you a nice, slow dance!
Believe it or not, Ibuki knows all sorts of dances to fit all the genres!
Slow dancing is the easiest! Easy peaasy! Just give Ibuki a few minutes of your time and she'll show you how!
no subject
no subject
... not even a little?
no subject
[Yes, a little, but even the idea of it is too embarrassing.]
no subject
...
... what a missed opportunity, though...
But, but... if you're ... reaaaaaaaaally sure about that, then let's have a convenient subject change.
[... not... offering the subject to change it to.]
no subject
... Ibuki, she's not good enough at conversations to come up with a subject change when you have her thinking about dancing with Aoi.]
Well?
no subject
You build a cool thing with Aoi-chan! Using the legos! Aoi-chan can show you how!
[... she still wants to ship you two because clearly there's a ship here that needs shipping]
no subject
Those are those blocks?
no subject
That's right, that's right!
They're totally fun! Aoi-chan would probably loooooove to build something with you!
no subject
no subject
...
Because Aoi-chan almost kicked Ibuki!
[... that has... nothing to do with it]
no subject
[Hopefully she wasn't expecting sympathy.]
no subject
Wow, Zuko-chan! Wow! Right to the accusation!
...
Wait no that's not the point!
no subject
[And she never knows what the point is with Ibuki. She's all over the place.]
no subject
[WAIT NO she can WORK WITH THIS-]
...
O-okay! Y-yeah, that's ... that's that's TOTALLY RIGHT! Ibuki was just all... uwah! A-annoying! A-and then, and then... bam! Aoi kick! Yeah, yeah, that is sooooooo totally how it went down, so, so... that's why Ibuki can't play legos with her! T-that's right! A-ahaha! S-so so, it's up to you!
[... she's bad at lying]
no subject
There are plenty of other people here. Maybe she can even show the Ura how they work.
no subject
If Aoi-chan is teaching the Urara-chans...
Zuko-chan! You're the warrior princess! You should look after Aoi-chan while she teaches them to use legos! You never know if they might take offense to a shape that gets built!
no subject
[Good work, Ibuki. She actually doesn't sound so sure of that.]
