Party in Fantasyland! (Open to All)

[caycep]

The loading area and deck in front of It's a Small World had been transformed. Two large tables had been set up, one bearing the music equipment that Cayce had lugged over from Tomorrowland, the other marked out for food and drink. Another food table was set up at the shop.

Various other places in the vicinity had been marked out as well: a wide space for a dance floor; another wide space with a sign RESERVED FOR STARBUCK posted; a grassy area marked RESERVED FOR M. BEAUFORT; and the loading area was marked RESERVED FOR KIRA AND SETSUNA. Over the walk up to the ride, Cayce had hung a large hand-lettered banner that read:

IT'S A SMALL UNIVERSE (ALL OF THEM)

She'd raided every shop in the park for decorations, and pillars and eaves were festooned with Disneyfied representations of various cultures; there was some Mulan merchandise here, a few items ganked from the Indiana Jones Adventure there. Cayce herself felt, somewhat ruefully, that she wasn't capable of being much more than a representation of early 21st-century urban America, so she wore the dress Crowley had given her. Anyone who was expecting her to do a reprise of the bikini business would be sadly disappointed.

After Cayce felt that a critical mass of crowd had been achieved, she went to the music system and turned on the microphone.

"Hi there, everyone. It's good to see you here, and thanks for playing along with my silly party idea. It's kind of a squishy liberal American thing to say—see, I'm representing my culture now—but can I just say that it's great to see the diversity here, and to see everyone taking pride in where they come from. So, thanks. Especially to Psyche, for letting us tromp all over her home and for keeping the music under control; to Crowley as always for the booze; and to everyone who brought something to share." She started to put the mic down, then remembered: "Oh, and thank you to Kira and Setsuna, who will be starting a limbo contest shortly." She grinned. "So if you think you're up for it, see how low you can go." A self-deprecating laugh at the cheesiness of what she'd just said. "Thanks again for coming, and have fun."

((Party time! Talk amongst yourselves, hassle Cayce, get drunk and ride through It's a Small World (not recommended), and otherwise have fun. Feel free to set your post before or after Cayce's little speech.))

((ETA: Here's the limbo thread!))

"Does it matter?" Franziska asked Orihime. "Come to my booth, and we will play many fine, better children's games. I spent hours as a child playing the far superior game of 'Smash the Servant's Prize Possessions.' I was, of course, perfect at it."

Rukia had decided not to let Orihime too far out of her sight with the alcohol around, and so was coming up quickly behind the other girl. She greeted Starbuck with an awkward smile, not sure how things were going to work out this time.

But she had to agree with Orihime -- "This pyramid game looks like fun!"

As for Franziska, Rukia gave her a skeptical look. She knew Orihime wouldn't want to play that kind of game, though, so all she said was, "I think I'll go to your booth after I see Starbuck's. There's time to do both."

"It would be rude to just leave," Orihime told Franziska in a matter-of-fact tone, but added, "but I'll go see yours when I'm done~!" She wanted to see everything, actually.

There was a moment where Orihime was silent then she repeated, "Servants?" and asked, "Are you a princess?"

[perfect-karma.livejournal.com]

"I really don't see why you wouldn't be far more interested in seeing my booth first," she said, "but do as you like."

"I'm a prosecutor," she added, as though it was a similar title.

[kuchiki.livejournal.com]

"What is a... pro-se-cu-tor?"

[perfect-karma.livejournal.com]

"What fool wouldn't know something so foolishly obvious?" Franziska asked. "A prosecutor is an attorney who proves the guilt of the guilty and defeats defense attorneys."

Starbuck had been watching the exchange with something that a lot of people would mistake for amusement.

She'd love to get that bitch in a Viper cockpit and make her cry.

"If you're done being spoiled little old maid, I'll teach these two how to play a game that is definitely not for children." Starbuck feigned sizing her up. "I'd teach you too, but I'm afraid you'd start weeping for your papa the first time I knocked you over."

Una wasn't dressed for any kind of sports, but she could be a spectator. So she wandered over to the pyramid setup and got there just in time to catch Starbuck's shot at Franziska.

She grinned and, catching Starbuck's eye, winked. It'd been a long time since she'd seen a proper drill-sergeant type in action...

[perfect-karma.livejournal.com]

Franziska only smiled at Starbuck, condescendingly amused. "While I'm no child, the irony of being called an old maid by the likes of you, Frau Starbuck, is quite amusing. But I shall humor you and not only play your foolish little game, but play it perfectly. As for my papa, let us leave him out of this."

[i-have-my-flaws.livejournal.com]

Starbuck winked back at Una. She had no doubt things were about to get interesting, she was only glad that the other woman would be there to see it.

She bit back the question what the hell is a Frau? as that wasn't likely to get them anywhere, and shot back with her own condescending yet winning smile. "What, you've got daddy issues? Aw, that's too bad." She bounced the ball once, turned back to Rukia and Orihime to motion them forward so she could begin teaching, then feigned a second thought and looked back at Franziska. "That tight skirt? is gonna have to go."

[lunch-princess.livejournal.com]

"Don't worry~! I will go to yours," Orihime tried to assure her, then looked pleasantly stunned. "A prosecuting attorney?"

[perfect-karma.livejournal.com]

"Yes," Franziska said smugly, as Orihime's impressed reaction was hardly a surprise. "In fact, I am a prosecuting prodigy."
