Ferris's Backyard Barbeque (All are welcome!)

Rules: It's just an rp, so just talk with each other's characters about whatever you'd like!

You see a colossal wheel-type with overalls and a grease stained t-shirt standing at a grill, flipping food type hotdogs and regular burgers alike. He waves when he sees you approaching, and points you to an area set up with picnic blankets, a few yard games, and picnic tables, sized for complexes and TCPs alike. "Oh, hello there! I'm Ferris, it's a pleasure to meet you! Just thought everyone could take a break and relax a little bit, please, take a seat!"

[Orange Juice Goose]

Lucent (Colossal Acceptance Type as shown in profile) smells among the sights and sounds of the festival... a BBQ! Rushing through the crowds and booths, they sprint from corner to corner in search of the source of the delicious smell, resulting in no few close calls. Scanning from the edge of the clearing, they snap lock-on upon seeing the grill, instantly bolting into a sprint!

...They trip a couple of yards from the grill, coming to a stop face down at its base.

[skinstealer]

Dysthanasia tries not to make too much of a scene as they slink into the picnic area, settling down onto a bench with a sigh. Their back hurt like hell, but...

They pull out the plush they won, weighing it in their hand. Yeah, they could work with this. It'd been a while since they'd experimented, but having a proper plush and a story to base things on...yeah, that should work. Yeah.

For now though, just gotta play it cool.

[seppawku]

Jinx is staying well away from the grill. Is it likely a hex will take form, conveniently on a random piece of tech? Not really! But as funny as it'd be, she'd like to be cautious and not horribly rude. She takes a seat at the edge of the picnic area, fidgeting with her poker chips and giving off the friendliest, most, "Talk to me!" air she can.

[King-Clod]

Bawdry enters the area, clearly exhausted. From what, it's hard to tell. Ferris waves and says, "Nice to see you away from your booth! Would you like a burger or hotdog?" but Bawdry doesn't pay him any attention and instead flops down on the nearest picnic blanket, face facing towards the sky. It's hard to tell if she's awake behind those golden sunglasses, but you do hear a sound akin to snoring.







...Seems like the perfect opportunity to strike...

Ferris looks to the collapsed colossal acceptance-type lying on the ground, and reaches out a mitt. "Hey there! Nice to see another TCP my size. Say, do you need a hand?"

---

Mindless wanders in, with a green man-type TCP nestled in between their chest and their left arm. They approach Dys and ask, "Hey, mind if I sit here? Everyone seems to be a bit spread out, thought I could fix that." With a wink, they add, "And hey, who knows, maybe our plushies will hit it off."

[seppawku]

In her defense, Jinx had every intention of being friendly and polite! Being 'dared' to do things just happens to be her weakness.  She primes one of her little robots with a tiny puff of smoke, setting it to scurry at her heel -- adjusts her practiced hand on her walking stick testingly, and makes a run for it. If all goes well, she'll grab Bawdry's golden glasses with her stick, get them into her hands, and get away from the scene of the crime as fast as she can. Her little helper's just for emergencies, able to set up a smoke-screen, cling to someone's arm, or explode. (Counting on her passive aura for certain sounds risky.) 

If this works, it's good she hadn't started up conversation yet! Heh.

[Orange Juice Goose]

Lucent mumbles something into the dirt as they pry themself out of it. As they wrench themself to look up, they look Ferris directly in the eye spots.
"5 HOTDOGS PLEASE!"

Alright, rolling now...
Since you have advantage, I'll roll twice and take the higher roll
...first roll was a 1...
Second roll was an 8! Out of...20!
And Bawdry's defense is...
...17...
Well, let's see if the robot helps at all!
The robot rolled a 4, which increases your score to a 12, but not above a 17.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jinx's walking stick manages to get underneath Bawdry's glasses, but in the moment it does, Bawdry SNAPS to attention, gripping the stick with an otherworldly strength, and tears it from Jinx's grasp. She starts to float above the ground, in the manner an abstract type would before ascending, except with a different, wrong sort of feel. Her halo widens, and you can see a golden ball rolling around the track. 
"So, you want to play games now, do you?"
The robot throws a rock at Bawdry.
It hits, but she doesn't so much as flinch.
"Who put you up to this." Bawdry asks, in a tone more indicative of a command than a question.

Lucent mumbles something into the dirt as they pry themself out of it. As they wrench themself to look up, they look Ferris directly in the eye spots.
"5 HOTDOGS PLEASE!"

Ferris nods with a gentle expression. "Sure can do, buckeroo. Find yourself a seat, this'll take a bit."
He sets 5 food-type hotdogs on the grill to cook, and adds, "Unless you'd like to keep me company, I won't mind."

[Orange Juice Goose]

Lucent stands up, brushing grass and dirt off, though it leaves a bit of green color. "Ok!"

They proceed to stand next to the grill, eyeing the hot dogs intensely in silence.

[skinstealer]

Mindless wanders in, with a green man-type TCP nestled in between their chest and their left arm. They approach Dys and ask, "Hey, mind if I sit here? Everyone seems to be a bit spread out, thought I could fix that." With a wink, they add, "And hey, who knows, maybe our plushies will hit it off."

"Uh...yeah. That's cool." They scooted over a bit, careful not to squish them. "You got one too, huh?"

[Clockwork Citrus]

Hallow walks over holding two tcp stuffies. They talk with Java the mug head obj. Java had given them their tcp. He is very happy, java tells him to go find a seat and she goes and gets them food. Hallow snuggles the two tcps the firework type and the glitchy nebula type

Jinx laughs nervously, face-paint cracking at the edges, and whistles to call off her poor, loyal little robot. "Me, myself and I!" she claims. "They were shiny! Pretty bad game, though.."

[knux400]

Forceps slides into view, some of the cubes rearranged into a chair shape for the dad-type TCP plush on top of it. It "sits" near the bench with Dys and Mindless, but remains silent.

[skinstealer]

Great. Dys manages a somewhat forced smile at the cubes, simultaneously grateful and dreading a familiar....well, they guess it does have a face now. The painting gets a genuine snicker out of them, though a good natured one.

[knux400]

After a few moments of sitting there in silence, Forceps hears the announcement for the festival closing. "Apologies. I will attempt to obtain one more TCP, and then I will return."

Jinx laughs nervously, face-paint cracking at the edges, and whistles to call off her poor, loyal little robot. "Me, myself and I!" she claims. "They were shiny! Pretty bad game, though.."

Bawdry's halo is still fluctuating, her gaze unbroken.
"Oh," She laughs, but there is no joy in it. It's incredulous, at the nerve of this guest, and it's absolutely dripping with hatred. "Oh, I highly doubt that. This is now... what, the eighth attempt this work? You're working with someone, I know that for sure. But I should thank you, really. Now I know the culprit is someone on my staff! " She leans in close, adding, "This was a bit of a test, you see. I never lie down in the open like that, and good gosh you took the bait. Now, I won't interrogate you here about who you talked with beforehand, goodness no, this was meant to be a good time for everyone, and I think we've made enough of a scene for today."
She touches a hand to her head for a second, then resumes.
"I AM going to have to ask you to leave, though. Chomper will see you out."

---

Chomper and crew rush in, panting a bit.

"We're here! Sorry for the delay, did someone need an escort?"
Bawdry responds deadpan, "More of a bouncer than an escort, but sure. Take it away."
Chompers calls to Ferris, telling him to "Finish the cup game thing! I'm busy!" and holds out a hand to Jinx. 

"Hey there pal! Want to go around the festival with me?"
Bawdry interrupts. "You're escorting them out of the festival, not throughout it."
Cruncher rolls her eyes and whispers "We honestly don't really care, so don't worry. We're cool. She's just... really touchy about those things."

Bawdry interrupts a second time, "I can hear you."

Solstice adds, "Get out of our hecking festival you hecking hooligan, or you'll be forced out."
Her hand is still outstretched though, and Chomper gives you a wink.

---

Mindless shrinks in their chair when they see everything that's going down, visibly uncomfortable. They clutch Kermit tight to their chest.

---

Lucent stands up, brushing grass and dirt off, though it leaves a bit of green color. "Ok!"

They proceed to stand next to the grill, eyeing the hot dogs intensely in silence.

Ferris works in silence, his focus entirely on making these hotdogs evenly cooked, and finishes the five hotdogs in no time at all.
He hands Lucent the dogs, and, in response to Chomper's request, calls out, 
"Will do!"
He looks back to Lucent.
"Wanna get in one more cup and ball game before Bawdry ends this whole shebang?"

[seppawku]

Well. That's probably fair!! Jinx puts her hand into Chomper's, shrugging a little and ducking subtly behind them. "Hooligan? Rude.." she mutters.

[Clockwork Citrus]

Hallow squeezes the tcp stuffies, he sniffles he hates the loud noise, he then realizes that his companion Java has left, she left this gosh darn party thingy and left him all by himself, he can’t help but sit down and hug the stuffies closer trying to hold back his upsetment
