Second Jiggy | [Action/Voice] | Action part slightly backdated to this morning

[talontrot]

[Okay, so Kazooie had finally experienced one of those experiment things. And it was actually kind of exciting! Weird, but exciting. She couldn't complain too much... except now things were back to normal. And boring again. What's a hero to do?

Why, go shopping, of course! This morning sees a breegull set out bright and comparitively early for the Item Shop, as she's done almost daily since she's come to Luceti. With the same kind of dogged persistence she uses to search for Jiggies, Jinjos, and the like, she's been trying to locate her backpack and kazoo. And now, finally, her patience is rewarded: the bright blue bugle-like kazoo, and the equally bright blue, Rare-symbol-embroidered backpack, are sitting right there on the shelf for her to claim. And claim them she does!]

Breeee!

[... Anybody in the vicinity might be drawn to the strains of a certain theme, played by the aforementioned instrument, or by the sight of a very excited-looking little red bird carrying a backpack as large as her entire torso.]


[Later on in the day, Kazooie sits down at her journal, intending to give voice to ideas that have been floating around in her head since the end of the draft.]

So, something I've been wondering for awhile - I know a bunch of the people here are good fighters, but how many of you are heroes? [She pauses for effect a moment, before elaborating on her explanation.] Y'know - goes out, rescues little girls from big ol' witches, finds peoples' lost stuff for them, collects a bunch of items, beats up bad guys who're threatening to take everybody's life force - stuff like that. I've met a couple other heroes, but I wanna know who else is kickin' around in this dump!

[This is partially scoping out her competition. But she has another motive, one she announces after a second of deep thought - well, for her, anyway.]

... Y'see, I've been thinking of throwing a party for us. A real party. Something with plenty of exciting stuff to do - 'cause it gets boring here sometimes when the Malnosso-guys aren't doing anything. That Rec Centre place was great, and I think it needs some livening up again! And it's up to someone as awesome as me to do it.

[With that, she smirks with satisfaction and leans back, waiting for the inevitable deluge of replies. As if she'll actually get any.]

[OH MAN A HERO PARTY???? PAO-LIN IS ON THAT LIKE A CAT ON CATNIP.]

Oh, I didn't know you were a hero too! [SO EXCITE.]

[voice]

[talontrot]

Yep! I've been one for a couple of years now! [The pride in Kazooie's voice is not easily missed.] What kinda hero stuff do you do, Pao-lin?

[voice]

[i_am_not_cute]

I catch criminals and save innocent people for HeroTV! Sometimes I also do promotional and charity events too. It depends on what my sponsors want, or what HeroTV wants.

[Kazooie is going to quickly find that Pao-lin's experience of being a Hero is a wee bit different from what she expects.]

If you need help with food for the party, let me know.

[voice]

[talontrot]

I knew I could count on you, Ginia. You're almost as awesome as I am! [This is a high compliment, coming from Kazooie.]

I'm thinking we should have a lot of those... pastry things. 'Cause they're really good. [She will need to be convinced to include anything remotely healthy...]

[written]

[shadedsunlight]

Pastries? All right, I think that can be manageable. Cookies too? When do you think the party will be?

[voice]

[bemyused]

The Rec Center sounds like a great place to have a hero party! What kind of food do you think we should have? [THIS ARE VERRAH SRS QUESTION. :|a]

[voice]

[talontrot]

[Food is always a serious question!]

Been wondering about that, actually... I bet those little pastry things would be great for everybody!

[... Except, you know, anybody with any kind of lactose intolerance...]

... We could get other party food too! Like crisps and cake and ice cream...

[voice]

[bemyused]

What about pizza? Pizza's definitely a party food!

[Voice]

[vulcanblazer.livejournal.com]

...I guess I can be counted in that hero list. As long as breaking curses and beating up a demon Overlord counts.

[He actually sounds much more confident than guessing it does.]

[Voice]

[talontrot]

... Yeah, I'd say that counts.

[Sheesh. She's not entirely sure if she should be vaguely impressed or offended for being shown up.]

A demon Overlord, huh?

[Voice]

[vulcanblazer.livejournal.com]

Yup. He's the jerk who put the curse on my homeworld to begin with.

[Voice]

[blessedbyfarore]

Well... I guess I am. [It's in the title, much to his minor embarrassment.] But other people do really good things too, even if they don't call themselves heroes!

[Hi Sheik :| ]

[Voice]

[talontrot]

Why wouldn't you call yourself a hero if you did good stuff? [This baffles her. Being a hero is a good thing! Then you get all this praise and positive attention...]

[Voice]

[blessedbyfarore]

I guess because h-- because people who don't think they're heroes thing they did things that weren't good enough. Which is dumb, because even the people who get called heroes need help sometimes!

[Voice]

[kingofwaste]

I already told ya I'm in, but I'll say it again just to be sure. I'm in!

So do ya need any more help settin' the place up?

[Voice]

[talontrot]

Depends. It's got a lot of games and stuff there already, but I bet we could make it even better! [... Assuming they didn't trash the place first, anyway.]

Think you could bring in your cartoons or something? Watching the exploits of other heroes oughta be cool. I still wish I had my games... [Why'd the dumb Malnosso-guys have to go and make it so they can't be asked for stuff?]

[Voice]

[kingofwaste]

Oh, sure! Excellent choice! My cartoons'll be just what the party needs!

Is there gonna be fireworks too?

[lostinmyway]

Oh, my. A party would be so much fun!

[talontrot]

It definitely will be a lot more fun than sitting around doing nothing. [Kazooie grins widely.]

So I'm guessing that means you're showing, right, Gruney?

[lostinmyway]

Oh, yes. I can't wait to meet all your friends!

[Video]

[mush-monarch.livejournal.com]

So you finally made a broadcastabout it!

[SUPER EXCITED! And she's sure to help out with everything you need!]

[Video]

[talontrot]

Yep! [Kazooie is glad, honestly, to be able to share this with Peach. Even if part of it because she makes the best millet.] An idea as great as this couldn't stay stuck in my head forever!

voice

[wannabolt.livejournal.com]

Hey, you know I'm in! Just lemme know if you need a hoof, and I'll see what I can do.

voice

[talontrot]

Hey, the more help we get, the better the party will be! [And Kazooie is not opposed to roping people into doing things.] Setting everything up and stuff shouldn't be too hard, right?

Especially since that Rec Centre place is full of cool things already.
