there are two rules no murder and no giftboxes

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.

Superstitions and traditions aren't something people shake easily. It might take a few generations before they see Absol for what they are.

[They warn about terrible events, they don't cause them. Hinata pats the ball on his belt. He feels a bit of a kinship with Monomi. Nothing he wants to discuss.]

I was a little wary of her at first. [He pulls out his pokedex and produces the entry about Absol. It is a bit creepy, in general an Absol looks intimidating.] But I want to try and spread how they're nothing to fear. If only by making them more available for people to see that for themselves.

That's a good thing for you to do, Hinata.

[He knows he would, if he were in that position. It's really unfair for a single Pokemon to be so misunderstood just thanks to some old superstition.]

You'll get people to understand eventually! It's just gonna take some time.
tallandproud: (Maybe we're going about this wrong.)

Anything like that will take some build up. People don't change their minds over night, especially when it comes to negative situations and experiences. [It's a bit more serious than he'd thought he'd be today. Hinata reaches up to scratch under Kaze's chin as he adds.]

But it's possible. Anyway, what's your favorite thing about this world so far?
awesmazings: (☼ and I don't)

[In a perfect world they would, maybe, but even Jimmy knows these sorts of things do take time. He can only hope that Hinata's efforts will pay off in the end, at least.]

Umm...well, the Pokemon! I mean there's a ton of monsters and creatures back home, but nowhere near this many!
tallandproud: (...huh?)

Sorry for the wait.

[personal profile] tallandproud 2014-04-05 12:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[Monsters?! How can he be so excited about that?! In one sentence he doesn't understand this guy at all. How can he be happy about a thing like that?] Eh? You have monsters back home?
awesmazings: (☼ and all I've got ☼)

It's cool!

[personal profile] awesmazings 2014-04-05 03:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[...Oh Hinata, do you have a lot to learn about Jimmy.]

Well yeah, sure! ..Don't you?
tallandproud: (What are you talking about?)

[personal profile] tallandproud 2014-04-09 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
[He has so much to learn.] N-no?

[He can't even imagine what that would be like!] You're not bothered by them?

[What kind of question is that?]

awesmazings: (☼ and all the gods)

'Course not! Well, I mean...I guess the lava worms can be kinda annoying sometimes, but as long as you stay out of their way they won't really bother you too much.
