Sweater of the day: A wizard's hat!

[bezazzled]

Who: Mabel Pines & YOU!
What: Bouncy house fun!
When: Right now!
Where: The front lawn of the castle!
Rating: G!


It's high time Mabel puts her ability to wish for anything to good use. She's got a long list of requests. So she's heard about that one time that everyone suffered for their wishes. Pfffft! That's in the past, and she promises to wish cautiously. She'll only wish for things that she absolutely needs.

What she absolutely needs is a bounce house.

It's a simple bounce house. Her only desire is to jump, not race awkwardly through an obstacle course. There's only so much enjoyment a kid can get from jumping on their bed, and what better way to fulfill the need to bounce than to wish for a quality bounce house? It's pretty great if she says so herself.

Mabel can be found inside the house, jumping and laughing and giggling to her heart's content. Anyone at all is free to join her, though she won't hesitate to remind others to play nice, remove all sharp objects, and always always keep their socks on.

What IS that thing on the lawn? It's colorful and covered in wizard hats...Jane HAD to investigate it.

She scampers up to the entrance and looks on with wide eyes. "Oh! It's a bounce house!"

any format is fine, really :P

[bezazzled]

"Hi!"

Mabel's in the middle of trying to perfect a somersault, but manages to fall flat on her face each time. While still laying down and somewhat bobbing from the bounce, she looks up at Jane and waves her in.

"You can come in if you want! Just be sure you don't have anything pointy on you, and take off your shoes."

asdfghjkl Alright then

[cyan_maid]

Jane blinks, observing Mabel before waving herself.

"Um, sure, I suppose. I don't have anything pointy," She says, and she slips off her sneakers. What harm could some bouncy house fun do, anyway? Jane climbs in, the wobbly bounciness already messing with her balance. "Whoa..."

[mispronunciates]

Megamind strolls out into the lawn, thinking to get another fix of delicious pie from down in the city, but the sight of this stops him in his tracks. His eyes widen, and he creeps closer, a cautiously delighted smile forming.

"What ... Is that?"

[bezazzled]

Though previously distracted by the fun she's having, those three little words are enough to make Mabel nearly fall on her backside mid-bounce. She turns to stare at him, still bobbing up and down, and gape at him for reasons other than his rather large head.

"You've never seen a bounce house before? You need to get inside here right now."

[mispronunciates]

Well, that hadn't been a reaction he was expecting. He shrugged, the spikes on his shoulder guards glinting in the sun, and started wandering over.

"Okay...."

[doublethefun]

The pony flapping by has to stop and do a double take at this...thing. She circles it a couple of times before she stops, hovering and poking gently at it.

"What in the heavens...?"

[bezazzled]

Just how many people (or beings) have yet to experience the joy and wonder that is the bounce house? Mabel's becoming a bit concerned for the populace of Paradisa now.

Still, she stops her bouncing long enough to grab onto the mesh wall and peer out at the pony. Before she says anything, she gives her a once over, checking to see if she is safe for bouncing. She's doesn't think hooves would pop it, but the crown would have to go. That horn, though...

"I figured if any world out there would know what this is, it would have to be the happy pony world. You ponies need to learn to live a little!"

[doublethefun]

"Admittedly, the younger ponies may have seen this sort of thing afore."

And she's still hovering. She doesn't see much point in bouncing when you've already got wings.

"We do have trampolines. Of that, I am certain."

[huffythedragon]

Spike doesn't clamber into that bouncy thing of wonder, instead choosing to stand around outside it. Dragons and inflatable objects tend not to mix. Too many sharp draconic edges and so on.

"That's pretty cool."

[bezazzled]

Mabel turns to address her new visitor when OH MY GOSH IT'S A BABY DRAGON.

"WOW!" She practically yells as she does a belly flop onto the floor of the house. She's quickly on her hands and knees crawling over to where he stands to get a closer look. "Are you the same dragon I talked to over the journal?"

[psych0p0mps]

Aradia was just flying down to town for some running practice when she noticed something in the front yard that hadn't been there before. At first she wondered if it might be another fairy thing, but as she got closer it became clear this was quite different. It didn't even resemble a house to her, so the only clue she had about its function was the Mabel inside, bouncing around and giggling like a crazy person. (Or a preteen girl. There's not much difference really.)

"Hey, Mabel?" she asked. "What are you doing?"

[bezazzled]

"Bouncing."

Her answer is short and to the point. Need she really say more? The house speaks for itself, or so she thinks, and she's not going to stop anyone that wants to join in the fun. In fact...

"Wanna come inside?"

[buttonless]

"... Since when was this here?"

Coraline's come across the bouncy house from behind, and totally doesn't remember it being there when she set out for the garden. Standing on her toes, she peers into the side of it, smudging garden soil all over the mesh wall.

[bezazzled]

"Hey!" Making her way over, Mabel puts her hands out in a shoo-ing gesture. "I'm all for playing in the mud, but let's keep the bounce house clean for everyone to enjoy, okay?

"I just wished for it a little while ago, so it probably wasn't here before. That means it's brand new!" Lowering her voice, somewhat stern. "Let's keep it looking new."

[quits]

Pepper is often traveling back and forth between the castle and the city. There are resources to manage and plans to keep on top of. If she didn't know any better, she'd assume that she's doing far more work here than she did back in New York.

The bouncy castle hadn't been there when she left this morning, so its sudden appearance is quite curious. She pauses for a moment, then moves closer to it. Well, it certainly wasn't a fairy-induced land of tiny castles.

[bezazzled]

The closer Pepper comes, the louder Mabel's giggles will be. Even if she's by herself at the moment, she's had several visitors join her for a good bouncing. It's enough to drive her spirits sky high and keep her happy even now.

Looking inside, Mabel has even mastered a somersault! She's going for a record, seeing how many times she can successfully consecutively somersault. Three... four... five? Five. That one totally counts.

[downright]

Chase has just returned from a quick trip into town, carrying two bags of groceries. He spots the brightly colored house and decides to take a closer look at it. He's pretty it wasn't there before (as in -- less than thirty minutes ago and it's hard to miss something that takes up this much of space in the front lawn).

"What's the occasion?"

[bezazzled]

From inside the house comes a rather cheerful sounding voice, though it's also a bit out of breath.

"The occasion... is today is... a perfect bouncing day! Want to join me?"

[fulltilt]

Julie's just walking back from checking on 9 Lives (which has a dent in it, thanks to Ezio's little fiasco last week), and she blinks in surprise when the bounce house looms in front of her.

Curiously, she walks up to it, around the slide, and peeks inside. She's never seen this kind of thing before, and it smells weird and rubbery, but... not unpleasant? And it looks fun, too. She watches Mabel jump around for a little before speaking up.

"Let me guess, no grown-ups allowed?"

[bezazzled]

It's hard not to notice someone peeking inside the majestic blow-up building, so Mabel's not at all surprised to hear her when she finally speaks up.

She stops her bouncing in order to walk on her knees toward where the girl is standing.

"Pfft! Not at all! This bouncy house is open for all ages! Provided you know how to have fun and also be safe. And keep your socks on, of course."

[periculis]

Oh, isn't this an interesting contraption.

Cinna approaches it from behind, eying it curiously as he notes the young girl bouncing inside of it. A bouncing castle? He knows he may be a bit off on the terminology of it, but its concept is clear as day to him.

The citizens Capitol would find this too...well, simple for their tastes. Maybe if it gave them a manicure and pedicure and did the bouncing for them...

[bezazzled]

She sees that staring. That is definitely the look of another person who has never experienced the joy and wonder of this amazing contraption. Mabel, of course, will have to fix this ASAP.

"Hi!" she says with a breathy voice. Jumping all day is liable to tucker anyone out! "Wanna come in?"

[hellshaped]

Hellboy is in the middle of doing his usual walking-around thing when he notices ... this ... on the lawn.

He's never been in one of these before, one of the many things he laments about his childhood (not really), so he just kind of gazes passively at the jumping and leaping within.

"That's not going to give you a stomach ache or anything, is it?" he says to the first person who spills out.

[bezazzled]

It's a-her, Mabel! She slides on out of the thing after spending the majority of her afternoon inside and looks up at him with a smile.

"Not if you bounce on an empty stomach! Then it just works up an appetite."
