The Boardwalk, Wednesday Post-Shenanigans Onwards!

[bookbeltof_love]

Parties were always a good time!

Especially right on Wednesdays and their super fun games! Nina was, like, a little sad that she had to miss the super fun games in order to set up for the party but then, like, it was a party and people were going to be so happy so it was hard to get too sad about it as she set out the food (all plastic and completely inedible, but pretending was more fun anyway!) and got the hugging booths ready and even, with a great deal of effort, got cute little balloons set up just right to make the boardwalk super festive.

She'd, like, thought of having it in the dorms but then realized she didn't want to exclude anyone and by then it was too late to ask if they could use a building in town and, sure, there was the beach, but…

Had a party ever been done on the boardwalk before? She couldn't remember! And if, like, she couldn't remember, then most people wouldn't either! Which would mean her party would be even more new and exciting and fun and--oh, she really had to give Sabine another hug for giving her this wonderful idea!

It was just so much fun!

[Open party for all!!! With MAD PROPS to seriesofbaddecisions for this whole idea!]

Arrive & Mingle!

[bookbeltof_love]

Like ALL good, good toys do, right?

Mae wasn't great at parties to begin with, and probably would have avoided this one like the plague if Nina hadn't specifically asked her not just to be here, but to have an actual hugging booth for the other guests.

This was going to be bad. This was going to be so, so bad. It was a really good thing that stuffed cats didn't have tear ducts, or Mae might just burst into tears.

But she looked perfectly fine on the outside. Because stuffed cats also had a seriously limited range of expression.

"Maaaaaaaae!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You made it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so happy to see you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

It was so nice when her friends were all good toys and Nina didn't have to worry about them not being that way!

And spending time with friends was always the best fun!

Tip came to the party. Of course she did. She was a fashion doll, parties were right up her alley. She even had on the perfect party outfit, all pink sparkles that complemented her currently pink irises (her eyes changed color with the pull of a string, for maximum Look Customization).

"This looks amazing," she said, not a lick of expression in her eyes or voice. "Nina did such a good job."

Re: Arrive & Mingle!

[bookbeltof_love]

"Ohmygosh, Tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Nina gushed. "You look fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My work here, like, pales in comparison to your radiance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Re: Arrive & Mingle!

Sabine was having the best! day! She won a game, and she had brought down a traitor, and now there was a party!

She looked pretty excited for always having the same expression and no mouth. You could just tell!

Re: Arrive & Mingle!

[intotheout]

"Hi Sabine," Tip said evenly. "Good job yesterday."

She was always happy to hear when another bad toy had been sent to the Toybox.

Re: Arrive & Mingle!

[bookbeltof_love]

"Saaaaaaaaaaaaabiiiiiiiiiiiiiineeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Nina was always, always super delighted to see her co-party conspirator!

"Congrats on yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You're so amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so glad we're having a party today to celebra--ohmygosh doesn't that, like, make you the person of honour at this party?!?!?!?!?!?!?!"

It did now!

Okuyasu arrived at the party, ready to have a great time, because parties were great!

But then, two brain cells in his plushie mind managed to rub together, causing a weird spark of association: toys... to toy soldiers, to the Stand of his departed brother, Bad Company.

This wasn't normal, this wasn't what was supposed to be happening.

But then he realized that he couldn't actually show that he knew this was wrong.

"...Oh I sure love parties!" he said, desperately wanting to let out a loud 'gyeh'.

Re: Arrive & Mingle!

[bookbeltof_love]

He definitely couldn't show he knew something was wrong because there were at least three toys already there who'd turn him in in a heartbeat because nothing was wrong, everything was great!

Including Nina.

"Okuuuuuuuuyaaaaaaaaaaasu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she said happily, delighted he was there. "Like, oh my gosh, I'm so glad you're here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's going to be a fun, fun, fun party!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Well, Rosa had told Nina she would come to their little party today in class, because it wasn't like she could say no, what fun would that be? So the Fandom's own Detective Ballerina was there with her pretty smile and her pretty tutu, and actually managing to seem like she was even actually having fun...

...she just thought about how her presence there alone should strike fear into the hearts of anyone who might be worried about being accused of being a Bad Toy, and it was amazing how much better that made her feel and how much easier it got being happy and cheerful.

Just as long as no one tried to talk to her. Or, good god, even worse, try to make sure she knew, for posterity, just how Good of a toy they were...

Re: Arrive & Mingle!

[in_sidon_we_trust]

"A party!" said Sidon, pumping his little yarn fist as he arrived and beamed brightly at the festivities. "Fantastic!"

A party...held on the boardwalk.

Which was by the water.

Oh, dear.

Ahhhh, what a never-ending challenge, to possess a body of yarn yet the heart of the sea!!

Sidon would have to just make sure to pay extra attention to having fun with his fellow party-goers to distract himself from that terrible urge to just abandon it all and go swimming, like a very, very Bad Toy indeed!

Re: Arrive & Mingle!

Alright! Party time! Prompto was so ready for this, the activity for the week had been...fun, sure...it was....alright, but this...this! Party at the boardwalk? Held by his best fake little sister and his best fake big sister? It was going to be the best, and Prompto was so here for it.

And taking a ton of pictures, so they could remember this night forever!

...with his plastic camera.

That didn't actually take pictures.

...shhhhh. Details.

Re: Arrive & Mingle!

[white_oleander]

Astrid was here and she was absolutely determined to have a good, happy time, although there was something going on that was not happy at all! She'd spotted him at the activity, looking downright surly, which was unimaginable, how in the world could that very nice toy who made everyone such wonderful breakfast on Monday be surly? Well, Astrid was not going to stand for it and she confronted Wayne about it and said if he didn't start having fun right this instant, she'd go and find the nearest Army Police trooper and they'd really do something about it.

Better yet! He needed to have more fun than just the activities, if he didn't go have fun at the party, too, then she'd know for sure he was a Bad Toy!

But he came, and so there was hope for him yet, and once Astrid was there, she was sure to be happy and eager to make sure he had a good time, and that everyone else did, too, because, really, there's been too many people thrown into the Toybox already! She'd really hate to see more!

There was food and friends and fun, and it was perfect, or so help her!!

Re: Arrive & Mingle!

[howareyanow]

And, sure enough, Wayne was there, because Astrid had threatened him if he didn't go, and he was honestly a little surprised he'd managed to make it this far, but if it meant going on, he figgured, sure. Sure. He could go to the party and stand there and smile and act like he was having fun well enough.

The smile part, that was easy. It was literally painted on his face half the time.

The real trouble was gonna start if anyone started talking to him, he supposed.

Or if he didn't smile enough whenever Astrid looked his way or started pushing him toward enjoying some food and forcing all sorts of fun on him.

Fuck. Every. Duck.

The little toy computer sat on the edge of the boardwalk, a cheery picture of a squirrel on its display.

It didn't move, or join in on the party. How could it? It had no limbs.

But it was there. Looking cheery.

Food & Drinks!

[bookbeltof_love]

They're all plastic, but there's a massive assortment of moddable options to pretend you're eating and drinking and that's TOTALLY super fun, as everyone knows!

Hugging Booths!

[bookbeltof_love]

Do you love hugs? Do you love GIVING hugs? Get in a booth and offer FREE HUGS to any who want them!

[Like it says on the tin! If you want to set up in a booth, make your own thread under this ping and have people come and hug your character!]

Nina

[bookbeltof_love]

Like, ohmygosh, she was going to be super busy having the most fun greeting people and everything, but she still couldn't resist having even more fun!

So when she got a chance, Nina was all for signing herself up to a hugging booth!

Come one, come all! She'd hug everyone!

Mae

[thishouseishaunted]

A hugging booth. Mae thought about the hugs from class yesterday, how being squeezed by her classmates had made it so very clear that there was nothing inside her but fluff and squeakers. And that was before she'd completely thrown off the indoctrination.

But if Mae didn't have a hugging booth, Nina might turn her in. So here she was, clapping her little squeaky hands together in fear anticipation, waiting for her hugs!

She had no mouth yet she must scream. . . .

Sabine!

[seriesofbaddecisions]

Sabine hadn't given someone a hug in hours. Hours! She had to fix that.

So here she was, with her very own booth to give the best awkward, giant-headed hugs!

Wayne

[howareyanow]

And then Astrid went and told Wayne that if he really wanted to prove that he was going to have fun and be a Good Toy, then he should go have a hugging booth.

And all he wanted to do was just look at that girl who he didn't even think he'd ever even met before, look her right in those big blue eyes of hers and tell her, Now how'm I gonna go and have a booth where I hug people when I can't even cross my god damn fucking arms, Astrid? How's a hug gonna work out when all's I can do is just move 'em up and down like the bucket on a goddamn skid loader, ASTRID??

He wasn't going to say that. That would just land him right in the Toybox fer shure.

What he was going to say was, "....okay" and go over there and have a hugging booth despite the fact that his arms weren't built for hug, and let's see her try and make a claim that he wasn't having any fun after that.

Dance!

[bookbeltof_love]

Because who doesn't want to have fun and dance on the boardwalk? It's so ROMANTIC! Everyone has to have ALL the fun, right?

Re: Dance!

[hashtag_chocobro]

There was music and space and they were on the boardwalk and Prompto had all these great joints in his limbs that allowed him to pretty much put out some of the sweetest dance moves in all of Toydom? Oh, you know he was out there getting his groove on! It would be a crime not to!

Like, literally. A crime. Against fun, which was a legit punishable offense in this world!

OOC
