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!]

[He shifted enough so she could get a better grip if she wanted one, but that was about it.]
no subject
[She rests her head on Ippo's shoulder]
Hey, hey, Ippo-chan! Let's do a party thing! There's no time to stand around drinking! Let's party, Ippo-chan!
no subject
[Really, between his own shy nature and boxing...he rarely ever touched parties. He's looking to your experience on this one Ibuki.]
no subject
no subject
[Does that answer your question?]
no subject
Ibuki gets to be your first dance partner!
Yes! Yeah!
Okay, let's do it! Get us out on the dance floor so we can do the dance thing, Ippo-chan!
no subject
[You should probably lead on this one, because he doesn't really know what even he should be doing right now.]
no subject
While Ibuki is still attached!
Run Ibuki to the sound system so she can change the music!
no subject
[That was something he could do, so with his drink done, he set it down on the nearest table and set off towards the sound system for Ibuki.]
S-so...how's your day been going? Good?
no subject
Ibuki almost got kicked by Aoi-chan! Watched Zuko-chan launch a football (not american football) into orbit! Ran away from Rob-chan with a bunch of legos! Built a mini-Ibuki that Colin-sama-chan said might take over the world! Kyaa!
And, and, she finally met Takamura-chan! Apparently he's been checking out your leviathan, Ippo-chan! Scandalous!
no subject
[Ibuki...that's too many questions to give someone in one sitting...]
no subject
Because Rob-chan is a vacuum of boring and dull, sucking out all the fun from everything in his vicinity!
Lego Ibuki statues! Don't worry, there is no actual threat of mini-Ibukis taking over!
Takamura-chan was checking out your leviathan!
no subject
[After all, who could really be asked to adjust to things here? Everyone reacted to the end of the world differently after all.]
And...what Leviathan? Last time I checked I didn't have a sea monster on me...
1/2
[Sorry Ippo, she... really doesn't like Rob]
... I-Ippo-chan, don't make her say it-
2/2
no subject
[How was he supposed to respond to that? Thank goodness he was at the sound system now so he didn't have to.]
We're at the sound system now! Let's pick a song and go dance!
[Way to sound absolutely mortified Ippo.]
no subject
Ippo-chan, you sound totally mortified!
[Still, she finally detaches from Ippo so she can fiddle with the sound system]
no subject
[That was just your first meeting with Takamura...he's been dealing with this for, at least in his time, a year now.]
no subject
Okay, okay, forget about the thing, then!
[And she turns it to some slow dance music]
Later we'll have to rock out to something cool, but now, but for now, let's slowdance, Ippo-chan! Since it's your first time! It'll be easy to start with! Easy peasy!
[she grabs for Ippo's hand to lead him toward the front of the gazebo so they can dance]
no subject
Well...so long as you know what to do, I'll follow along. I learn pretty quick, or so people tell me.
no subject
[While she speaks, she takes Ippo's hand and puts it on her hip, before putting her own on his shoulder]
That is, um, um...
[With her other hand, she takes Ippo's free hand and raises it up into the standard slowdance position]
This is... actually Ibuki's first time slow dancing with anybody.
no subject
Well...then I guess both our first time, huh? I'll do my best though!
no subject
You'll do fine, Ippo-chan! You got the cool footwork of a Super High School Level Boxer to keep you from stepping on Ibuki's toes!
[And she starts leading him through a simple slow dance. Even if it was her first time, she did see a few videos when she was researching music]
no subject
U-um...so...like this?
[Just ignore the color of his face, he's just absolutely sure eyes are on him right now and he was about ready to bury his face into the nearest available surface in an attempt to get away.]
no subject
Close enough, close enough!
Someday, Ibuki will have to teach you some cool dances, though, and then we can really go all out! We'd blow them all away with our mad skillz!
[After a bit of thought, Ibuki moved Ippo's hand she was holding down to her waist so that she could wrap her arms around Ippo. ... now it was pretty much like they were just hugging each other, now, while swaying and looking kind of vaguely like they're dancing with each other]
