[Ffff there are too many people participating to list. XD;;; SO you may post if you are: Asu, Lunar, Prof, Sun, Mizu or Minami. 8D]
Enosio was not fond of Chuck-E-Cheese, but River had seen an ad for it and had begged him for weeks before he finally caved and brought him in. He disliked it for several reasons, but the most prominent one was that he'd have to take River off of the campus to get to it, which meant he'd be mingling with humans... humans were not nice creatures, so he was mostly worried that River would get picked on or pushed around but... His worries eased when most of the human children seemed to ignore him or get along with him fairly well. Eno sat himself down at one of the tables to keep an eye on River at all times.
River had immediately made his way to the jungle gym. There were so many lights, sounds and children running around that he wasn't sure what to do at first, but jungle gyms were a familiar thing so he'd made a beeline for it. As he toddled around inside he came to the ball pit, something he'd never seen before. River stared at it for a second, watching a few of the kids writhe around inside and throw balls at each other before he slid himself into it, sinking all the way up to his stomach. "Ah...." He wiggled, trying to free himself from the mass of balls with a bit of a distressed sound.

Unlike Enosio, Lunar had absolutely no problem with Chuck E Cheese. In fact, her and Sorrel's trip to the play place had been her idea to begin with - the only thing her daughter had done was express her enthusiasm, and the trip had been set. The reason for this was when she was younger, Lunar had taken many trips to the place herself, and had many fond memories of it. And, to be honest, it wouldn't be of any harm if Sorrel managed to make a friend or two while she was there.
Once they had arrived, Lunar had taken a few minutes to wander through the play area with Sorrel before finding a place to sit down. "I'll be here if you need me," she'd said with a smile. "I won't move, I promise. Let me know if you get hungry or if you want to go home. Now, go have some fun!" Sorrel had waved to her mother, understandably distracted by the lights and sounds, as she had wandered back in the direction of the play place.
By the time Enosio and River had made their entrance, Sorrel had already explored all of the play areas, by herself this time, exchanging words with a few children but not sticking around with any of them. She was playing in the ball pit herself when River entered it, and at first she hadn't noticed him, being too distracted trying to swim through them (and failing). It was his sound of dismay that alerted her of his presence, and when her eyes fell upon him her interest was immediately caught - he, like herself, didn't look like the other children. Instantly she decided to help him, and she struggled to make her way through the plastic balls to stand beside him. "Are you stuck?" she asked, eyes wide with curiosity.

Julian walked into the Chuck E. Cheese by himself. He'd hate to admit it, but he actually had to research a little to find out where children went to gather. He looked around and gave a weak smirk to some of the games and activities. He'd been disassembling two watches and trying to exchange parts between them during breakfast, so he hardly found interest in a lot of the things around. However, something stopped as he investigated the entire area. There were puppets or something of some kind that sang and dance, or at least moved in motion to prerecorded music. Other children seemed fooled by this ruse, but Julian was fascinated by it. How did it work, he wondered. His hand met his chin as he looked downward with a furrowed brow. As much as he tried to think about not doing it, he just HAD to take it apart to find out.

River stopped struggling at stared up at Sorrel with wide, slightly confused eyes. "C'n't get out..." He whined softly and then went back to struggling. He managed to move forward a little bit, but he really wasn't doing the right thing to free himself. Instead of trying to climb up on top of the balls he was trying to wade directly through them. Since he was so little, he wasn't making much progress trying to force himself through the mass of plastic balls.

Sun was also a parent that had no problem going to Chuck E Cheese. She hadn't played there much as a child herself, but the few times she did were great fun. Plus, she figured it would be good bonding time for Gavin and Keiran with their new sister Willow. She entered the establishment carrying Willow, while making sure Gavin and Keiran held hands and stayed close. "Ok my dears. Remember what Mommy said in the car. She'll be at the tables if you need her. Now you play nice with everyone. Especially each other. Go have fun." She grinned and set Willow down so she could go where she wanted.
Keiran peered around the place. There were so many things to do! It was hard to pick for him. After some looking and mental debating, he decided to head over to the stage with the singing puppets. He stared at them intently, entranced by the movements and sounds. It looked like such fun to sing and dance on the stage. Before he knew it he was standing right at the edge of the stage and staring up at the puppets while bobbing his head to the music.
Willow stood and stared around with wide eyes. So many sounds and lights, so many colors. As soon as her eyes fell on the play place her whole face lit up with interest and she toddled her way over. She paused just a moment at the entrance to peer at Sorrel and River. She stood silently before emitting a loud sound that sounded mostly like a plane and jumped into the balls with a joyous expression.
Gavin on the other hand found not much interest in the play place or singing puppets. He wanted to play the games. Sun had said if he won enough tickets he could get prizes. Before taking off he got Sun to buy him some tokens and then headed off to see what games he could play. Many of them seemed too hard for someone his size, but he was sure there would be something.

Having been called only an hour prior, Aderyn sighed as she brought her excited little bundle of energy known as Giovanni to the Chuck-E-Cheeses that was a mile or two away from her house. Sighing as she was dragged out of the car and into the building by her son, she couldn't understand why she had to stay with him... she just wanted to sleep, but nope. No sleep for her. 'Guess thats what I get for taking on such a project...' Aderyn though to herself as she payed the cashier at the door so they could get in, each of them getting stamps on their hands before she saw her son run off into the play area, leaving her alone in the bright colored and high volume front of the store. Looking around, she spotted a few people that she recognized, more so Sun, the one who called her. So she decided to walk over and talk.
Meanwhile, once he had gotten out of his mothers arms, ran straight for the giant plastic tube setup that he thought would be a WONDERFUL practice area if he was going to escape from a place through the air vents or sewers. Sad thing is, it even smelled like a sewer. Eww...

Sorrel tilted her head to the side a fraction, a tiny frown creasing between her eyebrows in concern. "Do you want me to help you? she asked, reaching for one of his hands. However, just as her fingers came in contact with his, Willow made her grand entrance into the ball pit, and Sorrel's head whipped around to see what the noise was. Another child who looked different!
A smile softened her expression, and she took River's hand gently in her own. "You go through the balls like this, see?" she said, demonstrating by moving a little bit closer to Willow. And then, "Do you want to go see if that girl wants to play?"

A smile spread across River's face. "Yes pleez!" The happy expression turned to one of almost frightened shock when Willow suddenly emitted her airplane noise and then leaped into the balls. He turned to stare at her, wide eyed, not even noticing Sorrel's hand on his until she spoke again.
"U-uh-huh." He nodded slowly, still a little bewildered from Willow's surprise entrance. He mimicked Sorrel's movements and found that getting through the balls really wasn't that hard.

Sun was sitting at a table sipping a sprite and peering around people watching quite contently. She loved being here with all the kids and energy and lights and sounds. She pulled her eyes away from a kid who was spinning around in circles, dancing to the music the puppets made, to look at Aderyn as she approached. A grin spread out on her face and she waved to her. "Hi Aderyn! I see you made it. Go ahead and take a seat." She shifted her purse out of the chair and into her lap so Aderyn could take the seat.
Willow was in the process of swimming through the balls when Sorrel and River made their approach. She was mostly buried and she popped up so she could properly interact with them. She looked from Sorrel to River. Sorrel was very colorful, just like she was, causing Willow to give her a smile. River was different too, and his hair looked very fluffy. She stared at it fixedly wondering if it was as fluffy as it looked. "Name is Willow. Can I touch hair?" she pointed to Rivers hair.
Gavin was trying his hand at a game called Whack-a-Mole. It involved a big hammer type thing and hitting the rodent looking things as they popped up. He thought the hammer was a little heavy and he was having a bit of trouble manipulating it to work how he wanted. By the end of the game he only received a few tickets. He folded them up with a small pout. This many tickets wasn't going to buy him much. He looked around to see if there were any other games he could try.

Aderyn walked over and sat down next to her friend, "Thanks for calling me.. Giovanni was starting to get a little bored just running about the house trying to find something to do..though he has been bugging me for a little brother recently." She chuckled a little, unaware that her son had frequently slipped out of the house under her nose and she never seemed to notice or even question where he got odd pieces that she found in his room when cleaning it up.
Speaking of Giovanni, he found himself easily bored withing the multicolored, smelly, plastic tubes that wound their way above the heads of the children below. Sliding out of the tubes, his eyes widened when he saw that a child had idly left a baseball hat full of shiny gold coins slightly behind him while he was playing a game, thoroughly enthralled by the flashing lights and loud noises it was making. Grinning, the little thief-wanna-be slunk over and looked every which way, though he stopped before he even dared reach to try and take the coins. He knew from watching many detective shows like Detective Conan that there were almost always cameras around public areas.
Turning his eyes towards the ceiling, he looked about to spot the closest camera, knowing it'd be the one that'd best catch his face. Once Giovanni found it, he idly stood there, hands in his pants pockets as he looked about, wondering if he should risk being caught or use a minor illusion to black out the camera for a few seconds.

Gripping River's hand firmly, in case he needed support to help him through the plastic balls, she led him over to where Willow was. Seeing the other girl smile at her, she beamed back, offering her a wave with her one free hand. "Hi Willow!" she greeted cheerfully. "I'm Sorrel." She wanted to introduce River, too, but hesitated when she discovered she didn't know his name yet - Willow had caught her attention and they had gone over before she could ask. Her smile flickered at the realization, but returned when the Fae asked if she could touch the boy's hair.
Sorrel had to admit its fluffiness made that quite tempting.

River, with Sorrel's help, made it over to Willow without much of a problem. "'N I'm River." He grinned widely, the purple girl seemed pretty friendly, but why would she want to touch his hair? River reached up to pat his fluffy white hair, looking very confused. "Jus' dun pull, 'kay?" He nodded his head in compliance, but really didn't want her to tug on it or anything. His hair really was quite fluffy, Eno had commented on it more than once.

"Oh, no problem. Thought it might be fun." She smiled and took another sip of her drink. "A little brother hm?" Her smiled brightened a little more. "Well, what do you think of the idea." She idly stirred her soda with her straw while waiting for a response.
Willow looked pleased at getting both the other kid's names, and maybe even more pleased at having permission to pet River's hair. "Nice to meet...an' I won't pull!" She smiled and waded over. Standing in front of River she put out her hand and patted the top of his hair lightly, squishing it down slightly with each pat. She let out a little giggle and then gave it a pet before pulling her hand back. "Really soft n' fluffy. Like a..." She paused and the bleated much like a sheep would.
Gavin had been looking around for another game, and instead he came across Gio. Having no idea that Gio was plotting a heist, Gavin cheerfully and loudly greeted him. "Hi Gio!" He grinned broadly at seeing his friend. "How're you?"
Kei had been staring fixedly at the puppets for a while, but had since started to lose interest. They were repeating themselves, and really...he was kind of jealous. HE wanted to be on stage. Maybe he should get up on the stage and dance and sing....he'd certainly be more entertaining then the puppets.

"Well.. I told him that we'd get him a brother once he's old enough to do some things on his own so I don't have two little boys running about and causing a fuss while I'm trying to work." Aderyn laughed softly before she leaned back in the chair and closed her eyes for a few moments.
Giovanni jumped, his eyes wide as he looked towards Gavin. Luckily for the blue haired boy, his target was still oblivious and playing games. "O-oh hi! I'm good.." He says quickly before turning to look towards the pile of coins again, making it obvious what he wanted to do.

Sorrel watched Willow pet the boy's hair with what could possibly have been a little bit of envy (when she touched it, the way it moved under her fingers made it look extra soft). But when Willow made the bleating noise, the blue-haired girl smiled a bit. "You mean like a sheep?" she offered. Then, after a pause, she was overwhelmed by her previous urge and turned to River again.
"Can I touch your hair too?" Sorrel asked, somewhat shyly. She bit her lip, feeling a little bit guilty for asking after Willow already had.
