April Mingle Log

[This month, there's a sign in the plaza indicating that the welcoming party has moved to the park to celebrate spring!

The food table is present as always, though the selection seems a little healthier than usual. No sweets are available for once - instead the Station Master will cheerfully invite anyone who comes by for a bite to eat or a nice drink to take part in the spring clam hunt! Scattered throughout the park are brightly colored clams, painted like easter eggs tend to be. Some of them are obvious, others are more well hidden. Others? Well, a few of the residents got a little over-enthusiastic. They sure do get excited about this stuff.

What's inside? Well, it depends! In most of the calms are various candies (not fish flavored this time, the clam theme seems to have satisfied the locals), but some of the clams are a little different. It might be time to celebrate spring, but it's also April 1st! When some of the clams are opened, characters might find that paper eels spring out at their faces, or that they're squirted with brightly colored ink, or even that the clam makes various noises. There are even a couple clams that are entirely empty and make a very mature raspberry sound when opened.

As always, the Welcoming Committee and Host Club have had booths set up for them as well. Have a question about the city? Want to talk to someone who doesn't have fish puns on the brain? Need a little companionship? Both are good places to check out. At the Welcoming Committee, just in case anyone was suspicous of the Zora Tunics that appeared Sunday night, Zelda's handing out a couple more and explaining those. The Host Club is under new management, but it seems like they've managed to pull things together regardless.

Have fun!]

[›Robot puppies: Engage in clam hunt•

Yep, Jade's brought her puppy pack up to the island this time, and would you look at that, something to test their finding and identifying harmful objects programming so she can finetune it.

She's set up against a rock while the puppies hunt for clams and scan what's inside of them before bringing them back to her. From there she commands them to open and diffuse whatever's inside.

...Some of them have actually brought back chocolate to her though. Hmmm, either they're trolling her or they need more work.]

[Fai almost reaches for a clam, but stops when he sees one of the robot puppies heading for it. Judging by what he's seen happen when others open them it might be best to leave it to the puppies to deal with whatever came out. And they remind him of Darkleer's robot dogs, which makes him smile. So he will just stand there watching them with amusement and fascination.]
spacecase: (YAY!)

Hi!

[A DOG GIRL has spotted Fai! What shall he do?

>Freeze
>Flee
>Say hi

[(By the way, he thought right, the one the puppy retrieved was an ink splurting one.)]
faiofmisfortune: (huh)

[>Freeze. The kid's pretty easily startled, okay? But it's also because oh goodness a girl kind of close to his age is talking to him.

Okay, now >Say hi. Awkwardly.]


Um... hello?
spacecase: (+davesprite: so bitty)

[Somehow she doesn't mind awkward and stands, brushing herself off, to walk up to him. The robot puppies, naturally, follow after her.]

I see you noticed my pups! Would you like to hunt clams with them?
faiofmisfortune: (right side)

[personal profile] faiofmisfortune 2013-04-13 06:46 am (UTC)(link)
[Oh gosh it's kinda cute to watch all the puppies follow her.]

I don't know. I'm kind of afraid of getting a 'joke' one.
spacecase: (aw shucks)

[personal profile] spacecase 2013-04-13 03:32 pm (UTC)(link)
That's what the pups are for, silly! They would protect you from things like that!
faiofmisfortune: (sky)

[personal profile] faiofmisfortune 2013-04-16 07:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, well if you don't mind... [He crouches down and looks at one of them more closely. He'd offer a hand for it to sniff but he's not sure if they would need that in the same way a real dog would.]

They're really neat little robots. They make me think of Mister Darkleer's dogs.
spacecase: (IT'S SPACE TIIIIME!!!)

I know Darkleer! Robored likes to play with the puppies, it's good interaction for them I think.

[The robopuppies wag their tails, running their scanners so the target (as in Fai) can be identified.]

My name is Jade, what's yours?
faiofmisfortune: (soft smile)

[personal profile] faiofmisfortune 2013-04-17 08:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Red does seem to be the more uh, relaxed of the two. And I'm Fai. My brother goes by that name too sometimes, but we're pretty easy to tell apart.
