It's Block Party time! June 7th to June 10th!

[rapturescreed]

Who: Siren's Port and You!
When: June 7th to June 10th
Where: The block outside the Newcomer Community Center
Summary: It's a Block Party!
Warnings: Possible language, nothing worse then that.

The block outside the Newcomer Community Center had been bustling ever since the block party had been announced little less then a week ago. There had been much to get done, and there was little time to waste. With the cure being distributed, the NPP's stance on everything was very clear: they would find some way to put a smile back on the peoples faces. There were stalls set up next to each other, one or two each for a different company, business, or an individual who set out to be enterprising and had wares to show. Many booths were selling different foods or drinks, while others had games for people to play. Some stalls were handing out fliers, trying to promote their business. Each stall had a sign hanging from if that proclaimed what they were, and what they were selling. There was a large stage in front of the center that was for entertainment; they had all kinds of shows for the people to watch and listen to as they milled about.

Most games didn't cost much, or they were free, as long as the person understood that a small donation would be appreciated. All proceeds from the block party were going to help those who had been affected the worst by this plague; some were still in the hospital with crippling medical bills, and the NPP was determined to help those less fortunate. Security was milling about, just as a standard precaution against stealing, or some kind of protest, and each protester was given something to eat, drink, and an invitation to join in the festivities.

The block party would be happening from Thursday, June 7th, to Sunday, June 10th. It would open at 11:00 am, and close around 5:00 pm. This was to ensure that everyone has plenty of time to get their stall up and more then enough time to take the stall down before sirens. Nothing would be left outside in the darkness, but also give enough time to let people have fun. Especially those who wanted to dunk the NPP members in a big tub of water.



OOC: Everyone can make their own thread! If you are a company or a person who has rented a stall, you can make your own thread, and it will be linked on the main post. Entertainment will be taking place throughout the day, and anyone who signed up can make their own thread or comment around. All games can make their own thread as well. Alcohol is allowed for anyone of the legal drinking age (which is 17, for those unaware!), and security will make sure nothing gets out of hand. There will be protesters on the edge of the block on Friday, but there will be no violence tolerated.

All threads will be linked on the main post for easier navigation. This post will serve for the entirety of the block party, which is from Thursday to Sunday. If you want, you can put the date in the subject line, otherwise it is up to you and your threadmates to decide when things take place. All stalls are set up for everyday of the block party. Don't forget to tag yourself in.

Have a good time!

I wouldn't want to spend money on something this mean, anyways? I mean, unless you want me to?

[retraced]

Better you than someone else.

[He'll admit that much. Plus he'll try to pay her back later, if she'll let him.]

[motioned]

Oh! Um, well, in that case...

[She turns away for a moment, going to pay the dollar and get her four chances. Once she returns, she throws the first ball carelessly, trying her hardest to miss the target.

Which of course means she hits it spot on.

Sorry, Gilbert.]

[retraced]

Hnghhh-!

[He hadn't expected to fall. He really hadn't. Not to say that Ahiru has poor aim, but he'd sort of expected her to miss on purpose! Sadly, he's forgotten that Twisted Logic and Comedic Timing rule over their lives. So down he goes, splashing into the water with a loud, shocked yelp.]

[motioned]

[She gasps once she somehow manages to hit the target, but then... Well, she really can't help but laugh a little, if only because of the look on his face.]

I-I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to!

[retraced]

[He surfaces, sputters as he wipes the seaweed hair out of his eyes.]

...Nice shot.

[motioned]

A-Are you alright? I don't know what happened, I really didn't mean to!

[But. Laughter.]

[retraced]

Ugh.

[He hides his face in his arms against the edge of the tank. It's okay, he's used to getting laughed at by people he likes.]

I'm fine.

[motioned]

I'm sorry, it's really - it's not funny, I promise!

[retraced]

No, it sort of is...

[motioned]

[She's trying. She's trying so hard not to giggle. It's hard.]

A-Are you sure?

[retraced]

Definitely.

[Posture resigned and defeated, he climbs back up onto his perch.]

[motioned]

I promise this time I'll miss!

[retraced]

[And because he doesn't expect her to be able to make that shot a second time he says:]

Do your best.

[motioned]

[Dead center.]

Oh—!

[retraced]

[WHY IS THIS HAPPENING.

Splashdown #2 and Gilbert officially hates life.]

[motioned]

I-I still really didn't mean to that time!

[retraced]

[Gaaaaasp.]

I didn't realize that you had this sort of talent...

[motioned]

I don't think it's talent if I'm doing the opposite of what I'm trying to!

[retraced]

It's a talent if you can accomplish it without trying. I think.

[Climbing back up.]

[motioned]

But I'm trying to do the opposite thing! Maybe I should give the rest to someone else.

[retraced]

No, it's all right. Try to hit it this time.

[That means she'll miss, right?!]

[motioned]

[And by the laws of misfortune that govern his life

it hits the side of the cage, bouncing off

then hits the sign advertising the dunk tank, and after it bounces off that

it hits the target.]

[retraced]

[There is no way.

No damned way

that that just happened.

And yet, here he finds himself falling into the cold water once again, too dumbfounded by the sheer ridiculousness of this situation to even attempt to react. He's cursed, he's definitely cursed.]

[motioned]

[She's just going to stare at the one ball left in her hand, kind of fascinated by it at this point. What is this strange magic??]

Um...
