(( Basically just a thread to hold all the preperations for the Halloween Cetalu event. Anyone who is given jobs, feel free to use this thread to do them in if it's more convenient - just to save clogging up the main threads :3 ))
Absently, Kiro watched as Tsu wandered around. The two of them were sitting inside the Centre, awaiting the arrival of Pueblo and Fae, who they'd left a mysterious note for not so long ago.
"Maybe we should've knocked... y'think?"
"Bobo's comin'!!" Stated Tsu as he wandered towards his guardian and sat down heavily beside him. "Bobo wanna paintin' 'n' stuff!"
Kiro grinned a little at that. Of course they would come - if nothing else just to find out what was going on. He had with him a small pile of papers, and a limited amount of pens and paints he'd managed to find, he just hoped Bobo and Fae would bring some along too. He'd also found, conviently, a large piece of plastic sheeting, which he'd already put on the ground to keep the paint away from the floor. He hoped Fae and Bobo had some idea what they were going to do about these invites. Kiro was certainly not much of an artist...

A bit puzzled but no doubt accepting the mysterious task, it wasn't too long before Fae and Pueblo made their ways into the Centre.
Pueblo clung to the note that her guardian had entrusted to her from Anakiro and Tsu. Squinting her eyes at the paper, she made out the letters and cocked her head to the side, pigtails lollying in the air. Looking up from the note, her emerald eyes gazed around for the authors of the note. A calm smile formed her face when she saw Kiro and ran up to him. "Hewo Mr. Kiwo, how is you? Do you know where Tsu is?" she asked and practiced her manners all at the same time.
Fae giggled at Pueblo and came up behind her to pat her on the head. The little Aerandir girl giggled and smiled and Fae too greeted the Neeko-boy. "You wanted to see us for something?" she asked as she examined the prepared room. She rose a curious brow, but smiled anyways.

Kiro grinned a little at Pueblo's politeness. "You don't call me 'Mr' remember?" he said, then glancing up to Fae. "Yeah. I kinda need yours and Bobo's help with something." He paused, noticing Tsu step towards Pueblo with a wide grin. "Wanna tell them about our cool idea, Tsu?"
Tsu couldn't help grinning. He might not be the most coherent of people just yet, but if he wanted you to know something, he made damn sure you knew. "Me an' Keeo wanna do a f'ing for Ha'o'een! Wit' a bonfir' and partee and d'essin' up and stuff! Bu'..." He paused for a second looking slightly abashed, before looking up again brightly, his bell jingling as he moved his head, and now speaking directly to Pueblo. "Bu' we can' draw vewy good. An' Keeo wan's to make th' inveetations prettee! He said tha' Bobo ca' paint prettee f'ings. Wi' Bobo help make prettee inveetations?!"
Kiro grinned a little, having watched his small charge get more and more excited over this idea, before glancing up to Fae. "We're wanting to make a good party out of it, get the children to help out and so on. But we need pretty invitations first - and thought Bobo was the best little artist for the job."

Pueblo's ear flattened slightly and gave an apologetic smile. Her cheeks flushed slightly before a new person came into view. Her brows furrowed as she searched the depths of her memory banks before a light bulb clicked on. "Tsu is all growned up!" But she closed her mouth as the younger Aerandir babbled on, his voice and speed rising within each word. Looking completely wind blown, she twirled her paint brush between her fingers and held it up. "O.K!" was her short and sweet answer.
"Ohhh," Fae breathlessly said as Tsu came into sight. "When did he change? He is very cute," she admired the young boy Aerandir. His little braid made her smile even more. But quickly snapping back into the situation, she gave a little jump. "Oh, that sounds really fun, the party. We'd be more than happy to help," she nodded. "What'd you have in mind?

When had Tsu grown? "Not that long ago," murmured the neko-jin, patting his young charge on the head. "That ribbon came in really handy, it ended up in his hair with the bell," he continued smiling a little.
Then, when Fae asked what he had in mind, he shrugged gently. "Well, I wasn't really sure," Kiro admitted, casting his gaze slowly over what materials he'd managed to gather together. "I was thinking just a few pictures to make a kind of border? Leave room inside to write the invitation out? Something festive, like pumpkins, cat on a broom, that sort of thing?" He paused, counting. "We're going to need... about 12? I think?"
Kiro then paused, and he watched Tsu grin as the Aerandir gathered the few bottle of paint into his arms and presented them cheerfully towards Pueblo. "We got paints!"
Kiro smiled at that, leaning down to catch a bottle that slipped from the child's grip. "Not a lot of them, but we did manage to get some."
Happily, Tsu then plonked himself down on the floor at the edge of the sheeting, taking a piece of black paper and a stray piece of chalk that was in the 'Arty Stuffs' pile he and his guardian had managed to pull together. He then started drawing what looked suspiciously like a stickman. A pained stickman. Who'd been cut in two.
Quietly, Kiro leaned toward Fae and murmured, "As you can see, we may need a little help..."

Fae's eye widened at the picture Tsu was drawing before her face twisted up into a kind of smile. Holding her chin in in between her thumb and index finger in thought, she started to sit down and pulled a sheet of paper in front of her. "This is Pueblo's first real project, but she's a fast learner," she said as she looked up to Anakiro. She then motion Pueblo next to her and begun to show her how to draw pumpkins and leaves.
Pueblo's eye widened a little too as the paints were brought forth and immediately grabbed for them. "Zank you," she quickly flashed by Tsu. It was clear what she loved more and her heart was clearly into painting. Scooting down next to her guardian on her knees, she leaned over and tried started trying to draw what Fae told her too. It was fairly simple- distorted circles for pumpkins which were obviously orange. Then the leaves were easy too since she saw those every day, and at this time of year, they were more colorful than just plain green. This time, she could add an extra bit of red or yellow to each leaf. As for the cat, well, the only thing she could relate that too was Lucius whom she hadn't seen in forever, but managed to get the basic black cat shape. Now came the fun part- painting! Taking her brush out to hold in her left hand correctly, she dipped the tip in the orange and begun to add life to the invitation. Smiling and humming contently to herself, she was quickly in her own little world.

Kiro squatted down, smiling as he watched Pueblo draw and paint. He had had a feeling this was going to work out right.
"This is great Bobo," he said quietly, after watching her paint for a long while.
Tsu was watching her too, seemingly awed by how deftly she worked for someone so small. He'd never seen anyone draw much before. He glanced down at his pained stickman and then back up to the flourishing pumpkins. "Sugoi..." he murmured quietly, his limited Japanese vocabulary making a brief appearance. And it really was 'cool'... Those colours were beautiful...

After a few hours of long, and somewhat distracting, work, all of the invitations (and even a few extra that Pueblo gladly had fun in making) were complete and dripping with paint. Pueblo's paint brush head would never be the same again. Even as young as she was, her skills were as aducate as a twelve year old human who was gifted in art. Giggling at how messy her hands were, she looked over at Tsukai. He was the only Aerandir where she didn't have to stop and think about for so long, but still this certain part of her deep down, where opposites attract, her nerves were a little jittery when she was around him. "Tsu, orange!" she half yelled, her natural voice never being that loud anyways, and went after him with an orange hand.
Fae stretched her arms and fell over onto her side yawning awake. "How'd we do?" She asked Kiro and looked up to him from the ground. Can't...move..

"Ahh!! O'ange!!" yelled Tsu, giggling as he backed up a few paces, and managed to fall on his butt.
Kiro sniggered a little at the seemed attack, standing and offering Fae a hand up. "You've done great. Need a hand up?"

Still coming at him, her feet didn't have the ABS brakes she needed as Tsu's seemed to fail, and following suit, Pueblo tripped into him and landed her orange hand right on stomach. Oops. Fluffing her wings a bit, she never realized how anxious she got when she moved them. Stretching her wings out even more and settling them back onto her back, she helped Tsu up and blushed a little. "Hehe, orange..." she said slowly and poked his orange spot.
Reaching up to grab Kiro's hand, she smiled and was helped lifted up. "Thanks," she murmured and quickly let go of his hand. "Er, well, if that's that, Pueblo and I should get home and wash up. I hope we made enough, but if you ever need our assitance again, you know where to reach us." Fae smiled and held eye contact until Kiro knew she was sincere, but not too long before she could blush. "C'mon Pueblo, we gotta go home now and wash your brush...

Tsu glanced down at his belly for a few seconds, before looking up with a broad grin. "Ma tummee's o'ange!!" Still grinning, he bounced in place a few times, making the bell jingle merrily.
Kiro, meanwhile, watch Fae, nodding as she spoke. He then tilted his head a little as she blushed, his ears twitching a little in curiosity. As Fae spoke of Pueblo's brush, he looked a little apologetic. "I hope it cleans up okay. These invites are great Bobo, exactly what we need!" He grinned a little, watching them leave. He then turned back to Tsu. "Okay. Don't touch anything until they're dry, okay? Then we'll write them out."
"Okay!"

Foenix shoved the door open with her shoulder and looked around. The Centre looked empty of all inhabitants at present. With a shrug, she pushed the door open wider and rolled her burden in.
Nehanda ran in behand her, and skipped ahead so that she could place a hand on the wheelbarrow's contents. "I tink everypeople's gone, Feenix."
"That's okay, hun. We'll just put these out of the way and leave them here. It's not exactly hard to miss a dozen pumpkins, after all . . ." Wheeling the barrow over to a wall, she started to unload it. There were pumpkins of all sizes and shapes. Huge round ones, tall ones, some funny and lumpy ones, even a few little pumpkins for anyone who wanted to paint a face on rather then carve out a regular jack-o-lantern.
Finished, Foenix stretched out her back before turning to face Nehanda. "There we go! Now let's go get the others for Kami and Keanu."

The Centre was empty - as it seemed to be rather often these days. Kiro had someone in particular he wanted to catch today, and had plans to go find her in an hour or so.
The invites that Pueblo had made for them had been dry for a while now, and the neko-jin had spent the last little while writing them out - he now needed someone to deliver them, and he could think of someone who'd be good for that.
He'd also been surprised to find the pile of pumpkins in the main area - it had gotten him wondering. Someone else obviously had Halloween on the brain. And this could only be a good thing!

"Taranis, must you sit on my shoulders?" the girl asked as she looked up at the young polar bear/penguin Aerandir who was floped over on her head. She chuckled a bit as she heard his reply. Simply yes'm.
Slowly they were making their way to the center, no real reason for heading over there...Well other then Taranis wanting to go somewhere and Yakobi really didn't want to disturb anyone, so she figured the center would be the best place to head to.
"We thure yut?" Taranis asked tugging at his guardian's hair. He let out a small sigh as she told him that they weren't. It wasn't far, but she sure was taking her time walking. "Hurry up." he whined.
"We're almost there silly." Yakobi spoke pointing ahead at the building in the distance which was slowly getting larger.

"Keeo... how'd'y'do tha' on'?"
Kiro glanced over Tsu's writing practise. The small boy seemed to be taking a shine to this writing thing. He was also showing a determination for it - he was certainly doing a lot of practise.
"That one's an 'R' Tsu. Remember when we did 'P'? It's like 'P', but with a kick underneath, like 'K'."
"Li'e tha'?" asked Tsu, concentrating as he wrote out a wobbley P with a kick, making an R of sorts.
Kiro nodded with a smile. "That's it." He tilted his head to watch Tsu for a few seconds, before hearing someone approaching. He then leaned a little as he tried to look around the door from where he was sitting, as it stood a little open. "Hello...?"
