Luceti Land!!

[lucetimods]

Who: luceti
What: Amusement Parking!
When: Today til the end of the month
Where: A veritable pleasure island, east of the Beach Fort.
Summary: An amusement park has popped up in Luceti. It's all over here.
Rating: F is for friends who do stuff together!

Just some notes here not in the mod post -
1) The weather will be bright and partly cloudy for the rest of the month on the beach side of things. A nice cool sea breeze will keep people from melting out there.
2) All the old Luceti Land rides are still available. However, feel free to make up your own attractions and rides as well.
3) Since this is around for two weeks, we may put up another mass log if this one gets too full. So keep an eye on that!
4) Don't forget to tag your character's name on to the log! If you don't have one yet, just let us know and we'll get you hooked up.

As way of explanation for all this, Bil will have written a message on the first page of the journals. It cannot be replied to, it simply states:

"My condolences for all the trouble. You were due for an experiment today, but I thought you might enjoy an amusement park instead. It seemed like the sort of thing the Great One would do."

I assume she's sized up?

[Upon hearing the compliment, Sokka smirks and rotates the old throwing arm, as he receives the newest collection to his plushie army. He's going to need another sack.]

It's all in the wrist. Those boomerang-ing skills happen to come in handy.

Yup!

[Pfft, show off. Miyabi snickers quietly and browses through his growing army, to see if she recognizes anything at all. Other than the normal array of animals, nothing really strikes her.]

I wish they had other games that just throwing ones and that hammer thing...I'm no good at them. It took me forever to get this! [And she holds out her doll. It is going everywhere with her now. Everywhere.] Though I do wanna try that one where you hit the board and a person falls into the water...

[markofthewise]

[Oh! It's that wolf god person he gave jerky to once. Interesting.]

Well, if you see anything you want, I'm willing to help out. [Honestly he has no ideas what he'll do with all these... maybe save them for presents later.] And I think I saw something like that. Some droid was on it. I think he was supposed to look like some Malnosso guy.

[chiisaichou.livejournal.com]

Hmm... [Searching, searching...and get! Miyabi beams, then giggles as she pulls out a small, green dragon doll (http://store02.prostores.com/gaiaonlinestore/catalog/GweePlush_Front.jpg). Honestly, she had been thinking the same thing - just what was Sokka going to do with all these dolls? Some of them looks way too cutesy for his tastes.]

Can I keep this? [It's so cute! ♥] If I find something you might like, I'll trade you.

[markofthewise]

[Oh. Yeah. He won that for hitting some targets. It was an easy win. And he didn't even like lizards.]

Huh? Oh, sure. Yeah. You can keep it.

[chiisaichou.livejournal.com]

[Yay, tiny dragon get! Miyabi thanks Sokka with a smile and gives the little thing a loving hug. She'll decide on a name later. For now, she's looking around at all the other games, then the one Sokka's playing. A throwing game...man, she stunk so hard at those. She could swing a sword, yeah, but hitting something with a ball or dart (what even) was way out of league.]

Mind if I watch for a while? Maybe i could learn something from you.

[markofthewise]

Oh, sure. I could give you some tips if you want.

[He gestures to the attending droid to load him up with some balls again.]

I just wish there was a boomerang game around here.

[chiisaichou.livejournal.com]

I'd like that! Thank you, Sokka. If I get good, I'll try to win you something. Do you see anything around that you'd like? [She takes a spot beside him, and picks up a ball.]

Eh...I wish they had games I'm good at, too...but all I've ever done was jump around and swing a sword. I guess goldfish flipping sometimes, but...not too much. We also fish for water balloons at festivals, too.

[markofthewise]

[He really appreciates the gesture. He does. But there's reeeeally not much that catches his eye.]

Umm, if you happen to see any sky bisons? I haven't yet, but you know... there could be one.

[chiisaichou.livejournal.com]

Sky...bisons?

[Sokka, you are speaking a language she does not understand, okay.]

[markofthewise]

Oh, right, you never met Appa, did you? He was only here for like two weeks.

[Hm. How does one describe a sky bison?]

[chiisaichou.livejournal.com]

I don't think I have... [Not that she can remember, at least.] Was he your pet or something?

[markofthewise]

Not exactly our pet. More... our transportation. And Aang's buddy. I don't think you can call a ten ton bison a pet.

[chiisaichou.livejournal.com]

[Ffft--! Miyabi nearly stumbles at the mental imagery. T-Ten tons?! Good gods, that's a lot of animal... She still has no idea what a bison is - like an oxen, maybe? - but it's gotta be pretty big for people to ride around on it. And if it's a sky bison, then--]

Did it have wings? You said it was a sky bison, so...it flew, right? [Man, and she thought Nippon has some weird beasties.] Can you describe it?

[markofthewise]

Well... big and furry. Not quite cow-like. Six legs with big padded feet. And no wings. He flies with airbending. [A pause because, yeah, that sounds dumb.] Yeah, I dunno, he just does.

1/2

[chiisaichou.livejournal.com]

...You have some really weird sounding animals where you come from.

2/2

[chiisaichou.livejournal.com]

Oh,, ah--! I-I mean, uhm...that's not what I meant! I've just never heard of an animal like that before... The animals that kind of resembles that back in Nippon were all demons or evil spirits. Like the kyuubi is an evil, nine tailed fox. Then Orochi is the eight-headed serpent of our legends.

[markofthewise]

Yeah, I know. Earth animals are weird to me, too. [But he's had nearly two years to get used to them, so...] But we don't have any nine tailed foxes or eight headed serpents.

[chiisaichou.livejournal.com]

Mm, you're lucky, Sokka. I can't wait for the day when we don't have to deal with things like that anymore, back home. Some of the demons I've seen are funny and pretty harmless, but others are real bad... [Still, she misses it so bad.] What else do you have in your world?

[markofthewise]

Well, you know, we have spirit stuff. Like... there was once this giant panda. Only he was upset because firebenders wrecked his forest. So he turned into some big scary creature that teleported around and tore up stuff with sonic screeches.

[... yeah. Scary stuff there.]

Aang took him down. With an acorn. Go figure.

[chiisaichou.livejournal.com]

[That...is actually not the weirdest thing Miyabi has ever heard. In fact, it sounds pretty normal. You don't mess with spirits.]

Ehehe, sometimes the best solutions are the ones you never think about. But I hope that spirit was appeased in the end. It's a terrible thing to ruin an entire forest...

[markofthewise]

[Yes, well, it was incredibly weird for Sokka.]

Yeah, he was fine. Turned back into a giant panda, made bamboo grow magically. [Sokka offers a disinterested shrug.] But that's my world for you. It doesn't make sense at all.

[chiisaichou.livejournal.com]

[Miyabi snickers, leaning onto the game table.] It must be bad for me, then, that I think it makes perfect sense. My own home is a lot like that. I can make plants grow magically with the flick of my brush, after all. And I'm really just an inch tall, too.

But I guess that's what makes our homes special - that they're all so different.

[markofthewise]

[Sokka just sort of shrugs. As great as that all sounds, it does not sound great.]

Personally I wouldn't mind a slightly more boring, more grounded world.

[chiisaichou.livejournal.com]

[Miyabi blinks, and stares at Sokka for a moment before she starts to laugh. Man, she's heard that before. At least a couple hundred times from Issun. It's funny how life never plays out like that. Not until business is settled first, at least.]

You must have something very important to do in life. Usually that's why people are so busy. I know that's why I can't do half the things I want to do regularly. This though... [She picks up a ball, and throws it, huffing when she misses her target.] ...is a good way to get away from that for a while.
