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!]

[After wringing out the water from her hair and drying up her axe bass with everything she could until it was no longer in such a crappy state, Marceline of course had to drift her way to the party that seems to be going on. After all, she was the Vampire Queen and, more importantly, a legendary rock and roller. Parties were her scene.]

[Anyone by the food table might see her floating along, axe on her back and a cup of fruit punch in her hand. She raises it up to her lips and... uh, that... sure is all the fruitiness apparently draining away. That sure is now a glass of clear liquid.]

[She was certainly thinking of something entiiiiiirely different when she heard 'clam hunt', but after finding a few bright cherry red colored clams, well, she's open to it. Especially after she realizes the potential of some of the clams.]

[Just wandering around? Marceline will start to wave you over.]


Hey! Come over here, will ya?

[That sure is a pearl white clam in her hand!]
redboots: (nomorals) (fond :: I got my own plans)

[personal profile] redboots 2013-04-01 06:40 am (UTC)(link)
A host club? Really? [Her amusement, let her show you it.]

Sounds like a bunch of desperate guys if you ask me.

[She doesn't really seem opposed to it, mind you.]

[personal profile] redboots 2013-04-01 06:42 am (UTC)(link)
I'm going to guess they don't exactly come in different styles...

[Floating on her back, just kind of picking at one of the Zora tunics...]

Don't suppose I could modify these things, huh?

[Angelo approaches Marceline from the booth that was put up, a small smile on his face.]

Oh that's hardly the case, my lady. You misjudge our agenda as a club, perhaps you are interested in coming by?
sylphauxiliatrix: (sprite Not Exactly)

[personal profile] sylphauxiliatrix 2013-04-01 12:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I was thinking the same thing, actually. I know the woman who acquired them for us, so I'll probably ask her later.

[Kanaya looks up at the Vampire Queen. She's never encountered someone just suspended in the air like that... but she's seen more than enough odd things to be surprised by it. In fact,the only thing that manages to get a reaction from her is the moment she noticed the bite mark on Marceline's neck. She's trying not to stare, but it might be a bit obvious that she's now avoiding it.]

I don't believe we've met. I'm Kanaya Maryam.

CLAM HUNT!!!

[personal profile] savemegermany 2013-04-01 05:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Hunting clams?! Oh that sounds like so much fun! Then Italy would cook them up in a nice seafood pasta. Oh that sounded so yummy he could already taste it~!

He plucks up a clam. It looks very strange. Clams aren't normally blue. And it's got a hinge on it? He pushes his thumbs into the non-hinged end to peer inside, see if it's a real clam when suddenly a paper eel springs out at the country! ]


AAAAAH! I'M SO SORRY, MR. CLAM! I SURRENDER! I PROMISE I WON'T EAT YOU! JUST DON'T HURT ME! I HAVE A BAKERY TO RUN AND FRIENDS TO BAKE MUFFINS WITH!
redboots: (partyhard) (grin :: There's a whole lot to me)

[Yeaaaah, kind of obvious there, Kanaya. This isn't the first time Marceline's been stared at, but she's still amused.]

Well, technically, you should be calling me 'Your Majesty'- [She promptly rights herself in midair and flicks a bit of Kanaya's hair.] -but that's for squares. I'm Marceline, best musician in all of Ooo, plus the Vampire Queen.

Nice fangs.
redboots: (goldenslaughterer) (vampire :: Let's start with my feelings)

[personal profile] redboots 2013-04-01 06:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeaaah, I really don't think so.

You could always try to change my mind. That is, if you guys are really the charmers you're supposed to be.
redboots: (goldenslaughterer) (silly :: How can anyone relate to me)

[personal profile] redboots 2013-04-01 06:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[She can't help it. Marceline just bursts out cackling, clutching her stomach. She had thought about tricking him herself while she was hunting for her own clam collection, but, man... Sometimes it's nice just to watch.]

Oh man, hehehehe, you just- [Another burst of giggles.] Better give Mr. Clam some sort of tribute if you really want to get on his good side again!
spacecase: (o wait i am the ceiling witch ok)

[personal profile] spacecase 2013-04-01 06:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[...Yet she notices only the bass.

What the hell, her "spacesister" is a rainbow drinker, it's not like it bothers her.]


Ohmigod, I've never seen a model like that before. So cool!

[Hi, Marcy, mind having a dog-god floating next to you?]
redboots: (goldenslaughterer) (float ::But Daddy I'm not)

[personal profile] redboots 2013-04-01 06:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[No minding here! Any musician who knows her stuff might actually not get messed with! Besides, dog ears, wow that is nauseatingly cute.]

[Looking pretty proud, Marceline swings her bass off her back so it can nestle in its rightful comfy place in her arms.]


Niiice, right? It used to be something totally boring, but I fixed it up, and now there's hardly a guitar in all of Ooo that can beat it.

You play?

[Before the war Simon hadn't been too great at parties. He didn't mind them but when it came to socializing he'd usually just stick to the outskirts or find the nearest pet to make friends with like a tipsy male Snow White.

Funny the things you miss when they're not even remotely an option anymore.

True to form, he spends a lot of time near the food table. It's pretty uneventful until he spots Marceline because honestly? She kind of stands out. He does too to be honest but he's not the one floating and holding an axe bass.

He doesn't approach her right away, instead opting to stare. She looks like his Marcy, it's true, but his Marceline is seven. Ad she'd totally be seven if she did end up in Vatheon.

Right?]
redboots: (warplanes) (stare :: And I wanna be here)

[personal profile] redboots 2013-04-01 06:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[Simon that is sad and hilarious and Marceline is making it happen one day, just watch.]

[Really, standing out is what she WANTS to do. She just got here, so she has to make a good impression- and by good, she means cool and awesome. Besides, it lets her figure out other people. If there's one thing she knows about parties, it's that everyone wanders by the refreshments at some point. She just lets her eyes wander.[

[And in that wandering, well... Simon might not stand out as much as her, but it's hard to miss someone like him, especially with all the memories between them.]

[She stares right back, expression going from chill and relaxed to shock. Nothing's said for a good few moments before her voicebox doublecrosses her.]


...Simon?
savemegermany: (panic!)

[personal profile] savemegermany 2013-04-01 06:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[ but he wanted to eat Mr. Clam.... ]

I DON'T KNOW WHAT MR CLAM WANTS~~
redboots: (partyhard) (grin :: There's a whole lot to me)

[personal profile] redboots 2013-04-01 06:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[that makes it funnier]

Well, if it were me, I'd want a nice big altar and throne built so I could sit on it and view all my clammy subjects.
antiquarian: (The check is in the mail)

[personal profile] antiquarian 2013-04-01 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[That's mean, Marceline. Mean and cruel and it's going to happen someday whether he likes it or not.

His chest tightens when he sees her expression change. Then she says his name and his heart jumps into his throat.]


...Marcy?
redboots: (warplanes) (wait shit :: Marceline is it just you &)

[personal profile] redboots 2013-04-01 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow. Okay. This is... definitely a thing that's happening.

[She'd... read about this sort of weird time b.s. in the pamphlet shoved onto her, but she hadn't actually thought something like this would happen. Just... gonna float over and awkwardly pap your face, Simon, hope that's okay.]

[Crap he's real]
savemegermany: (scared)

[personal profile] savemegermany 2013-04-01 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Do they really want thrones? I thought they liked mud.
redboots: (goldenslaughterer) (smile :: My vampire eyes see only)

[personal profile] redboots 2013-04-01 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
So be creative! Make a throne out of mud, duh.
antiquarian: (Where everybody knows your name)

1/2

[personal profile] antiquarian 2013-04-01 08:24 pm (UTC)(link)
I-

Yeah.

[This is weird. He's never really imagined how she might look as an adult. Now here she is, all grown up and awkwardly touching his face.

How handle?]
