there are two rules no murder and no giftboxes

[lullabytes]

Who: Dangans of all kinds, other non-Dangan invited guests. Anyone who would be at the designated location who wants to party-crash. Although the designated location is, uh...
Where: Goldenrod City, in the Johto equivalent of Chuck E. Cheese
When: Forward-dated to the evening of March 14th. Because Lucy's going to be busy this weekend.
Summary: Nanami uses her birthday to take a bunch of people who wouldn't normally go to a kid's place to a kid's place (though she also invites some people who would be totally chill with it). There is an actual ball pit, what the hell Nanami.
Rating: PG13 at most for some people's language probably KUZURYUU.
Log:

It's pretty obvious by the time the actual location other than "in Goldenrod" is disclosed (though Nanami hands out the address and location so it's possible you could get there without realizing where you're going) that Nanami was completely the one who picked out where they're going. If Kuzuryuu or anyone else she brought up "eating dinner" with thought she would choose a nice sit-down restaurant or at least a legitimate restaurant, they were sorely mistaken. She has, of course, chosen the Johto equivalent of Chuck E. Cheese. Which is, of course, over-the-top with the Pokémon theme. Hands are stamped at the door to show that you've paid to be there.

There are arcade games, playable with tokens purchased and handed out at the door. Tickets are given over from the games based on winning or how well one won, and can turned in at the main counter for ridiculously cheesy prizes that mostly only children would be interested in. There are games other than arcades, such as skee ball and air hockey. There are claw machines with prizes within.

There's also a full-on child's playplace with climbing things, tubes to crawl through, slides, nets, etc. This includes a full-on ball pit.

The food is mostly pizza, although the menu also offers cold-cut sandwiches, buffalo wings, salad bars, and desserts. There's also cake, obviously, which was brought in with the party, as well as a pie. ...There is probably an animatronic show as they eat dinner because this is what Nanami picked and she's totally turning seventeen, the cake says so. There's a table decked out and reserved for the party, so claim a seat for your breaks and eating times and go have a blast! Clearly this night can only end gloriously.

Everyone not in the know of trigger lists would have been warned at some point prior to the party by Nanami not to bring gift-wrapped boxes (bags are apparently acceptable if they are plainish and not involving a lot of giftwrap, as are unwrapped things) with zero explanation of as to why this was.

[He shakes his head, looking down at Kopeko with a certain degree of fondness in his eye.]

Nah, Kopeko's pretty even-tempered. It'll take more than something like this to really set her off but...I guess you could sort of say she has the opposite problem of yours when it comes to personal space.

[She's covered in blades, okay? Sometimes she wants to get close to others...but she can't. It's hard. It's hard being a Pawniard.]

[pipers_son]

Yeah, I can see how that would put a damper on a few things, huh? Rogue- quit it, ya nuisance.

[Yes, the Furret is still giving its best shot at friendship or perhaps attempting to indulge in a death wish. Hard to tell.]

Think about gettin' another one a those Steel types? Bet they wouldn't mind 'em.

[impheired]

Hadn't really thought about it, but I guess that might not be a half bad idea. It's not like she doesn't like the rest of my Pokémon or anything, though. She just keeps her distance.

[Like she's still attempting to do now with Rogue, to little success. WHY ARE YOU SO DETERMINED TO TOUCH HER, YOU BIG FUZZY THING? WHY COULDN'T YOU GO PLAY WITH TADAMI INSTEAD? Houndooms are so much better at this...physical contact thing.]

[Why this.]

[pipers_son]

Maybe I can introduce her ta my Skarmory then. Sabre might feel a bit at home with her.

[He raises his hand to his mouth to cough, although it sounds suspiciously like a laugh he's trying to hide. Rogue is a determined furry noodle, and can't seem to comprehend that there are some Pokemon who DON'T want to be friends.]

Sounds like she's the dependable sort, 'tho.

[impheired]

She is. As much as I don't like relying on the help of others, I have to admit that whoever it was who picked her out for me did a good job.

[Starters, where do they come from.]

Skarmory is...that bird with the sword wings, right? [Thank god for the breeding center having them in stock otherwise he would have no idea what Joker was talking about.]

[pipers_son]

Yep! The feathers are pretty useful when they shed 'em~. Make good throwing knives.

[Definitely a good chatting topic right]

[impheired]

[For someone who is very proudly a gangster, yes. Yes it is.]

Shit, for real?

[pipers_son]

Yep! [DON'T MIND HIM, JUST TAKIN' A SEAT- Rogue stop that-] Blades dull here right quick, 'tho, so I could only test it with a couple. Didn't want ta use 'em all up. Gotta make it so ya don't cut yerself, so ya need ta fiddle with it a bit, but they're good.

[impheired]

[You'll shoot stab yer eye out, Rogue! Luckily, with how increasingly distracted Kuzuryuu's gotten by the conversation, the less he's been paying attention to Tadami. And the decrease in pettings is enough to rouse the Houndoom out of her stupor and oh no, fuzzy thing what are you doing to Kopeko.]

[TEAM MOM TO THE RESCUE. Okay Rogue, she's just going to kind of plant herself in front of Kopeko and sniff at you. What's all this then.]

Wait what? You mean blades dull quicker just because of this fucking place? That doesn't make any sense.

[pipers_son]

[WHOA DOG ALERT DOG ALERT. Rogue rears back a little bit in surprise and sniffs right back. T...Tentative cuddling to doge? Yes?]

What I wanna know is if any a this stuff does. Last I checked, back home doesn't have any dogs with horns or giant ferrets. At least, they ain't particularly common.

[impheired]

[Scary-looking doggie is actually a huge softie. Cuddles? Yes. See? Much more cuddly and warmer than Sword beast, who looks incredibly relieved about this.]

Well...that's true, sure. [You have a point, sir.] But why would blades dull faster? What's the reason for something like that? [A beat as he glances down at Kopeko, looking slightly confused.] Wait. How fast are we talking here, exactly?

[He's had Kopeko for like two months now and she doesn't seem to have a problem? Wtf, Johto.]

[pipers_son]

[EXCELLENT, CUDDLES INITIATED. This Houndoom now has +1 Furret boa wrapped around it.]

Ah, wouldn't it be nice if I could answer that... [That would mean any of them understand anything about the weird shit that populates Johto.] Only a couples tries, for me- but that's when they're off a Sabre. I don't think ya need ta worry about it when they're part a yer Pokemon still.
