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!]

What do you think? Do you want to join Ibuki's band, Raile-chan? And then Ibuki could dye your hair and you'd look really awesome.
[Because why not.]
no subject
[He's just gonna gloss over that hair comment, it's definitely not the worst he's heard.]
Yer better off askin' Zia bout that.
no subject
no subject
[Also a destroyer. A walking calamity you might say.]
no subject
Without super magical shards!
[... because she doesn't have enough shards to buy the rest of her band instruments. Maybe she should have held off on the datapad she bought]
no subject
[Not even an ounce of ego came across in what he just said, it was simply a fact he was relaying. He'd spent so much time on the Wall that fixing and making things had become as natural to him as breathing.]
no subject
[She pulls out what seems like an iPod Shuffle (not that Raile would recognize it), clicks a button and it expands out to a shape very similiar to one of Colin's datapads]
Ibuki could prooooooobably find schematics in here ... somewhere!
[she starts searching through the database]
no subject
T'heck is this thing?
no subject
Even more futuristic than where Ibuki comes from! It's from Colin-sama-chan's future! Mostly! Ibuki customized this one!
[... it has iBooty engraved below the screen for some reason, and a color scheme that matches Ibuki's]
Ah, here! Here's schematics for the guitar!
[And... yeah, that's schematics for a bass guitar]
no subject
[He's looking over the schematics though...thoroughly detailed and easy to read, just the way he liked them. His lips were moving silently as his sharp eyes scanned across the screen multiple times, taking in all the information they could before...]
Got it. Might not look quite so fancy but it'll work all t'same, might take me a few weeks t'get t'materials though.
no subject
[Yeah Ibuki... hadn't really put much effort into learning the lore around the Bastion]
And, and... let's see, the electronic keyboard... here!
[And there's the other schematics. She could've asked for an amp for the bass too but... with the venue's equipment, it wasn't strictly necessary anymore]
no subject
[You know, before it exploded. At any rate, he's just going to push past that and go back to absorbing information. This one looked a little more complex, but nothing a few stray shards couldn't keep powered.]
no subject
Ibuki's a lot better at music business than Mancer or techie business, though she's been learning a liiiiiiiittle bit of techie stuff with Colin-sama-chan here and there.
no subject
no subject
Back home, Ibuki used to have stagehands and other people who could do that for her...
... Kazuichi-chan prooooooobably could've handled it, too. If he wasn't busy being scared at Ibuki's music, anyway.
no subject
[Yes please, tell this child of your friends. What are friends? He doesn't have many of those.]
no subject
... Though, Kazuichi-chan didn't get much chance to really show off his mechanic stuff for as long as I knew him, now that I think about it. Ibuki didn't even know him for a month.
Then again, with memory wiping shenanigans going on, maybe Ibuki knew him for longer than that? Who knows... maybe someday Ibuki will get her lost memories back.
no subject
[He had enough of those rattling around his skull to know they weren't anything to wish on anyone.]
A mechanic though, huh? Woulda fit right in with t'Masons.
no subject
[she doesn't plan on bringing up the murder island business]
But yeah, maybe! And, and, Kazuichi-chan would've loved to get his hands on Colin-sama-chan's future tech stuff, for sure!
no subject
[Like this thing your holding. He'd love to take it apart and see what made it tick...no guarantees he'd be able to put it back together though.]
no subject
[No it's her datapad, take apart one of Colin's spares instead]
no subject
[He never finished school Ibuki cut him some slack. He is trying to poke at the datapad though. Reveal to him your secrets magical light box.]
no subject
[Ibuki has no clue how far along she was with school before her memory wipe and crappy island vacation... what does that have to do with communicating?]
Did you want to try a game on the datapad, Raile-chan? Do you? There's loooooooooooots of games in the database!
no subject
[Like what...? Kick the can? Or target practice? How can you do those on a magic light box??]
Do y'...throw it like a disc or somethin'?
no subject
Here, here, Ibuki will show you an aaaaaaaaaage old classic! Tetris!!
[And that sure is Tetris she's loading up on the screen. She'll give Raile a little tutorial on how to play it.]
