Park - Duck Pond: Tuesday in the park with Horse. (Afternoon)

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

It's no Le Grande Jatte, nor is it Sunday. But she does have a monkey and it's nice out.

Pippi is sitting on a bench with Mr. Neilson, tossing bits of bread to the ducks. Old Man is nibbling on the long tufts of grass that grow by the feet of the bench.

Glo'ster girls they have no combs,
Heave away, heave away!
They comb their hair with codfish bones,
We're bound for South Australia.

Heave away, my bully bully boys,
Heave away, heave away!
Heave away, why don't you make a noise?
We're bound for South Australia.

Glo'ster boys they have no sleds,
Heave away, heave away!
They slide down hill on codfish heads.
We're bound for South Australia.

Heave away, my bully bully boys,
Heave away, heave away!
Heave away, why don't you make a noise?
We're bound for South Australia.

[[ooc: Totally open by the way. Join in the duck feeding and kite flying or ignore us.]]

A few pieces of bread flew over Pippi's head to land in the middle of the ducks.

The bread's thrower sat down next to her to watch the ducks squabbling. "Hello there."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Hello to you too." Pippi said.

Mr. Neilson tipped his hat.
//Greetings Whip-Fingered-Boy.//

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

//Good day, Mr. Neilson. How are you this fine day?//

"Did you have a plan other than fattening the ducks?" Walter asked Pippi, throwing another piece to the birds.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Not really." she said. "Though I did bring the kite kits you gave me for my birthday. We could fly those around."

Pippi wasn't sure how he was feeling, so she tried to stick to non-active activities.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Moving things around on the end of strings, that sounds like my specialty. Have you tried them yet?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Yes, I did." she said, "A few days after. I had a nice chat with Mr. Crawley I recall. They work beautifully."

She brought out the kits so they could start assembling some kites.

"Demyx wants to go to Disneyland by the way. Do you feel up for that this weekend maybe?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Disneyland?" Walter asked while he glanced over the assembly instructions for the pirate ship. "I'm not familiar with it. New geography?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Oh that's right... 1944.

"It's a thing call an 'Amusement Park'." Pippi explained. "It's like a serkus, only it's in one place and always there. "Disneyland is an amusement park with a theme, because Disney is a company that makes movies and stuff. So their park is all about their movies... Mostly."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"I have seen some Disney movies. There's one with Donald Duck having a dream about making munitions..."

He squinted and eventually closed his left eye to read the instructions. "And they have a place with a Disney theme? Alright. It sounds interesting."

"I shouldn't think you'd want somebody that volatile around explosives..."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"He was in a Nazi plant, so it worked out well for the Allies. There was another one even more politically incorrect where he was sent after a Japanese installation..."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"I didn't know he was actively enlisted!"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Propaganda to boost morale. I never thought of him as real." He cocked his head and thought about it. "But then again, in my world, no one believes Dracula is real."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"I suppose it would be interesting if they ever met eachother..." Pippi laughed.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"That would be worth getting on video," Walter agreed, then glanced up when River arrived (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomtownies/957901.html?thread=39216077#t39216077).

River happened tp walk past the bench. She waved and grinned at Pippi.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Hi River!" Pippi waved back. "We're flying kites! Care to join us?"

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"Of course," River said.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi waved her over to where the parts were spread out, she had a box kite that looked a little like a pirate ship half assembled.

"Come on over then!"

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

River looked at the kite parts. "Want help to put it together?" A kite. She rememebered having one as a kid.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi nodded.

"You can assemble the aft section. There should be enough to put one together for you as well." Pippi said, "Walter gave me extra parts along with the pirate ship. What do you want yours to look like?"

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

River thought for a second. "A bird?" The one she had had as a child had looked like a bird. Simon had made it for her.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter looked up from squinting one-eyed at the directions. "Hello, River."

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"Hello, Walter," River said smiling. "No kite wires?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Not right now. Maybe next week, I'm taking it easy this week. How are you?"

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

River shrugged in reply to that. "You?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"I'm getting better. Give me a few more days and I'll be right as rain." Not that he was certain about his eye, but the rest of him was on the mend.

"Which workshops are you taking?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi offered River a copy of the directions on how to assemble parts to look like an airplane so she could adapt them for a bird shape and waited for her to answer Walter's question.

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

River studied the directions carefully. Not that they were complicated, but they were nicely drawn.

((ooc: Bedtime!))

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"Scoobying, music and the one called 'Monologuing, Dialoguing and Out-Quipping the Bad Guy'. The last one I chose because of the title. You?"

((ooc: Bedtime for me!))

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Man, I knew I shoulda signed up for Ivanova's class." Pippi snapped her fingers.

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"Which workshops are you taking?" Rive asked Pippi.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"The one about telling fibs." she said, "Constant Vigilance, and the one about being sneaky with Mr. Pennyworth."

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

River nodded. "You know Ivanova?" she asked.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi nodded.

"She graduated before you guys got here." Pippi said. "She's very nice."

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"oh, good," River said, smiling.
