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.

"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?"

Aradia thought about it for a second, then shrugged. "Okay! Why not." She landed softly at the top of the entrance ramp, took a few steps to test the firmness, then ducked inside - without taking off her shoes, incidentally, but hey, how was she supposed to know about that?

Immediately the Bounce House Police was on duty, and Mabel put her hands flat and in front of her.

"Hold it! Hold it just one minute! We've got to lay down some ground rules first. Out, out, shoo!"

Mabel made her way out of the house, pushing and nudging Aradia along with her. Politeness and common courtesy could wait five more minutes. It was important to teach newcomers the ground rules so that everyone could enjoy it.

"First off, no shoes. Socks are a definite must because you can never be sure of one's personal hygiene." She lifted a socked foot in front of her for emphasis.

"Hmm. I think your horns might be okay. The sharp tips are what I'm worried about. Do you have anything you can put on them or something?"

[psych0p0mps]

Aradia made a perplexed noise as Mabel shooed her out, something that sounded vaguely like "wat." But - okay, rules were rules. She quickly unequipped her shoes and leg wraps and switched them for regular socks. The horns were a little more problematic, though. They weren't as sharp as some of her friends', but pointy enough nonetheless.

"Um..." She thought for a second before taking out a second pair of socks from her sylladex, and began tugging one over the tip of her horn. "Does this work?"

[bezazzled]

Mabel took a moment to seriously examine the now covered horns. And then burst into giggles.

"You look so silly! But yes, that definitely works just fine. And thanks for being a good sport about it. Rules can be a bit pesky sometimes, but they're a necessary evil."

[psych0p0mps]

Mabel's giggling was infectious, and in a second Aradia was laughing right along. She didn't need a mirror to figure she looked ridiculous, anyway.

"No, I understand," she said good-naturedly. "I mean, it's what, a giant balloon? Makes sense." She bounced up and down in place on the ramp, beginning to get a feel for its springiness, and after a moment added, "Can I come in now?"

Mabel brought one hand over her mouth while the other pointed toward the entrance.

"Please watch your step as you board. Take a moment to find the nearest exit. In this case, the entrance is also the only exit. In case of a water emergency, this entire house can be used as a flotation device. Keep your body in an upright position at all times unless you are executing a sweet somersault. The captain has turned off the fasten seat-belt sign. You are free to bounce around the cabin!"
