Bright Star Children's Home (Open, Just For Fun)
Moonscribe went off to the sandbox and sat down. He began typing on air, and little pyramids formed out of the sand, followed by miniature sphinxes and other monuments. Water appeared out of nowhere, and formed a large river that flowed down the middle of the sandbox. . .
"Weally no importance," Moonscribe laughed as he jumped on the elaborate scene, reducing it to a lot of wet sand.
Schizo floated around, laughing. Somehow, he was covered in burrs again, and began throwing them at anyone who came near.
Hal clung to Essex's leg. "I not wanna go play wiff them. . . they all hate me."
The moment was disrupted by Naga pouncing on Shiro from out of hiding. She had been watching him since he entered and wanted the cup he carried with him. Something in it smelled good.
Meanwhile, Anna was climbing the ladder to the treehouse while calling Kathode and Io silly for doing it the hard way.
"Weeeee!!" Stell the puffball carroled as she rolled across the yard and began to fly up to the fort, half way there, however, she sneezed again and the Kukurt dropped to the grass with a heavy thump. "Awww..." Lumbering, the 5 foot white dwarf slowly walked to the fort.
Ani sighed, pulling her cloak close and digging in her bag once more before pulling a necklace with a dangling metal 'teardrop'. Tapping the bulbus end, a bubble shimmered around her, Nessie and Cobolt.

((Sorry all, had to go right from mandatory Marching Band to pick up my grandma from the airport to dinner. I'm wiped. I'll try to catch up tomorrow.))
Burning nodded happily at Hal, but then looked back at Blightlord. "He's scawy..."
He was distracted, and didn't hear everyone give their names. When everyone began heading outside, he gleefully leapt and hovered his way to the door.
Blightlord scowled at the leaving Burning.
"I missed the caw..." said Blightlord. "I twied to take over an adult, and took this chiwld..." He shook his head. "I wiw take my wevenge on the flaming chiwld and then weave this pwace..."
He set off to explore.

Shiro smiled at Archlich, "Thanks." He strolled out towards where the other children were playing. His eyes shimmered as he saw the backyard. His eyes fell on all the girls and he smiled wider. He saw a pair climbing a tree. A pair standing by themselves, one had a backpack. He was just content to watch them all play. He was pounced by a lizard girl from out of nowhere. She was reaching for his sippy cup. He gladly let her have a sip. She seemed to want to try it. "Yo, girlie."
Naga was dismayed that her pounce attack missed, but Shiro seemed to have not noticed her so she turned around and tried again.
Io smiled at Anna, "Doing it the hard way is so much more fun though." She called back to Anna, "If you do things the easy way you urgh-" She jumped to another branch and pulled her leg over the branch and pulled herseful up so she was over the top of the tree fort, "You never get to see the good veiw." She said spying on the play structure the boys had seemingly claimed as their own. She watched as one of them turned the snadbox into a mud pit and then Hal hiding behind Essex, "What a baby." She said, she wondered if Mini-E was outside as she pulled a bouncy ball out of her grey cat backpack. Disappointed when she couldn't find him she decided to chuck it at Schizo and then leap swing into the tree house through a window on the side. "Tah dah." She said with a flourish and she landed on both feet.
Thick clapping, more like the pounding of plates, sounded behind Io. Stell, having spotted the window had teleported into the fort, bypassing both racers. While the floor groaned under her weight.

((I leave for half a day and look what happens))
Virelai had lingered behind, taking her own sweet time as she slowly strolled along, the grass rustling against her cowboy boots. She had seen Markus, Curtis, and Reikoff run off to the playground.
...I wonder what they're doing...
The little naiad cowgirl chased after them, following them and sprinting at top speed, doing her best to keep after them. She clutched her toy revolver with one hand, her hat with another, huffing and puffing as she tried her best to not lose it in the wind.
Io stared at the dwarf form Stell. "What the heck is that?" She asked confused.
2.0 stepped out into the playground eagerly, nothing in hand. He simply started observing the area, before tapping a small button on his plastic armour.
His left arm started firing off confetti in bursts, as he laughed. "Hahaha! Who is the idiot now?!" he called out, as if making a confetti-creator from pieces of shrapnel from an old battle that he waddled into was intelligent.
Toulon ran towards the trees and jumped up, catching a low branch. He swung himself up and knelt on the branch. Looking out, he leapt into the air and vanished ((ala Record of Lodoss War))
((This one is just WAY too fast for me. Thanks for the fun.))
"We's bein' pursoo'd!" Reikoff exclaimed as the group dove into seperate portions of the fort.
Marcus suddenly surfaced. "Artilurree, fire!"
And water balloons sailed out at the naiad.
"That look like fun!" Anna said as she and Kathode joined the boys in hurling water ballons out the windows of the tree fort.
((No way I can (or, more precisely, care to) keep up with this posting pace...but I'll pop in to catch up when I can. Enjoy...this is a fun thread!))
The white-masked Master Illusionist floated just above the welcome mat at the front door, resplendant in her Elizabethan finery. She held the hand of the small Carnie girl as she spoke to Essex.
"Thank you for caring for Lili during the...troubles. It means more to us than I can properly express. Call on the Carnival of Light, should you ever need us." She glanced down at the child, the affection showing in her eyes even as the mask hid the rest of her expression. "Come along, mon petit...we're going home."
"And in this moment, I will not run.
It is my place to stand.
We few shall carry hope
Within our bloodied hands."
Virelai looked up into the sky as the balloons sailed above her, trying to make out their forms.
Emphasis on trying. Virelai closed her scarred eye, grimacing and putting a hand above it to shield her sight.
Damn sun blocking her view.
But she did hear the word "fire". And she absolutely hated fire. Reaching into her skirt and pulling out her revolver, she shucked the hammer back with one thumb and--
[SPLORT!]
Virelai stood there, soaked as can be, three of the balloons having found their mark. She blinked and opened her scarred eye, blinking again and lifting up her revolver-toting arm, looking at the water dripping off of it.
She grinned.
With just a few moments of concentration, the water on her started to slide off, coming together in front of her to merge together into a big, transparent, water ball. In just a few moments, she was completely dry, and a big beachball made out of water was bouncing right in front of her, Virelai giggling incessantly as she smacked it, trying to bounce it on the ground with more force.
It burst and splattered all over her again.
"..."
She just stood there, completely soaked once more, looking a little hurt.
((This is what I was afraid of. =/ Please feel free to come back anytime! I'm trying to keep it to the point where people can pop in and pop out when they feel inclined.))
Essex smiled and nodded to the Carnival woman. "Lili's a joy. Please feel free to bring her back anytime, as Rosalind will be a little lonely without her friend..." With that, she picked up Hal, shaking her head at him. "Nobody hates you, Hallucinogen! Now why would you think that?"
----------------------------------------
"WHAT IS THE MEANIN' OF THIS!?" Rosalind roared as she opened the window of the treehouse. "This is the GIRLS fort, and we're not gonna let any crummy boys beat us!"
Noticing Virelai's control over the water, she quirked a little eyebrow. "Okay, girls, I have a plan. All we need to do is --"
Her voice cut off when she saw Anna and Kathode siding with the boys.
"HEY! What are you guys doing?! We need you!" Rosie pouted.
Japancakes.

Hal looked up at Essex tearfully. "I dunno. I just feel sad. Schizophweneez and Moonscwibe always tease me. Dey hate me."
"Girlie? Are you done drinking from my sippy cup?" Shiro asked with a smile.
"Dey joined da winning side!" Ghoul shouted as he jumped and pumped his fist into the air. "Da Ghoul side! Boo ya!"
Grinning madly, Ghoul snatched a water balloon from the pile and let it fly at Rosie.

"Silly humans, -_-" Toy said as he walked over to the sandbox and waved at Moonscribe. "Hi! I'm Toy! =D"
"And we're his bots, blah blah blah," Combat Toy said before it jumped into the wet sand Moonscribe had made and started making a hill.
"Bots make city! ^_^" Toy said happily as his toy robots started pulling the sand togther to make little sand skyscrapers and hills.

"Ewww...wet doggie smells!" Anna said when the water balloon hit Rosalind. It figures that her and Kathode would side with the boys, they were both tomboy girls anyway.
Naga looked up at Shiro from where she sat on the floor and returned the cup to him, then took his hand and dragged him out into the yard.
"Many allies hav been gaddered!" Reikoff exclaimed triumphantly, "Fire rownd two!!"
Zoom.
Whip.
Crash.
"Owww." Workout Man had seemingly gone super speeding and tripped, flying into the air and getting caught by several baloons. He then crashed into the ground. "That hurts."
Radeator flew over to the boys side. "Care if I join?" He began firing harmless bolts at the girls side, trying to surpress them.
(This is a little childish for me. Lol.))
Stell lumbered over to the window, her bulk covering the whole space just in time to have three ballons splash against her armored hide and face. The odd sensation against her nose caused the girl to sneeze once more and in another poof of white energy, Stell reapeared in her human form rubbing her nose.
"S'use me." The blonde mumbled.
Ani sat by the door to the house, her notepad in her lap and a small force bubble keeping the water ballons off herself and Cobolt and Nessie. Her tounge poked out the side of her mouth as she concentrated on her schematic of a machine to be made out of some of the materiels she saw Expee make his confeti launcher out of...
All she needed to do was... aquire some for herself.

"Very well," Archlich said, closing Shiro's folder with a snap. "There aren't that many children here of your age. I would suggest making friends with Feliks, or Commie, as he likes to be called."
Archlich stood up and started walking out of the door, gesturing for Shiro to follow him.
"Right in here is the entrance room. Nothing fancy, just here for parents dropping their children off. Over there is the center room. Snacks are along the left wall and various toys along the right. The door to the left is the playpen. In it are various oversized comical novelties, such as giant blocks for building forts. To the right is the stairway leading upstairs. Bathrooms are up there, one for each gender, as well as the sleeping rooms. Since you are an older child, you will probably share your room with only one other person. Go to the center room and then around and past the kitchen to find the door leading outside. You'll find the others there."
His speil done, Archlich folded his arms and looked down at the little trouble maker with his glowing blue eyes.
