The Gourmet Pocky Shoppe Captain
|
 Posted: Tue Dec 14, 2010 1:15 am
Arriving via sweet holiday scent on the wind, frequenters of a certain shoppe, that certainly doesn't traffic in sweet little boys, have received invitations to this year's Christmas Party! All surrounding the Gourmet Pocky Shoppe was covered in white which looked oddly like the frosting on a cupcake. Infact... If one were to taste some, it'd even taste like it. But it wasn't sticky and still mostly behaved like normal snow. It would appear that Ryuusei has been playing around with the snow for Christmas. The Shoppe itself looked like a giant ginger bread house, the windows even looked like they were made out of clear colored sugar. Signs hanging on each of the walls warned that anyone who tried to eat the Shoppe would be punished in unspeakable and unspecified ways. Inside the shoppe the large main area was decked out with all sorts of decorations made out of candy, pastries, and chocolate. Clear sugar tabletops held up by candycanes, comfy cupcake seats, and a myriad of other tasty looking things. A notice just visible as you come in the door informed the guest that no furniture or decoration would be sticky or messy unless entering a person's mouth. The cupcake chairs for instance would act just like pillows unless eaten. As usual Hika-chan was busy in the kitchen preparing holiday goodies and drinks. He was particularly happy with the tea cups that Ryuu had provided for him to fill with his adventures in holiday beverages. Sitting on a cupcake chair in the middle of the doorway to the kitchen was Ryuu, in his usual black clothes with the usual christmas addition of a santa hat, gingerly sipping out of a cup while guarding the kitchen. Just to the side of the doorway, near a corner of the room, on another cupcake chair a mopely looking Katashi with a reindeer antler headband on his head. Obviously not happy with the adornment, but seemed to be grateful that he wasn't forced to be in a full on deer furry costume.  A feature of this christmas party is that participants will get inactive days taken off of their activity record. Just how you get days taken off or how many days will remain a secret until the party ends. So just RP and have fun! And if you post enough this SRP will count towards a PD. Please no double posting. The party will end on December 30th 11:59 pm PST, with results being posted on December 31st.

Mikael looked at the invitation. He wondered if he should really go.
Mother looked at him. "Go on Miki! This will be good for you and you will get to meet the others. I will be fine here." He sighed. "Ok Mother just be safe."
She smiled at him as he got on his coat. "Bye." He waved as he zoomed out the door.
He didn't have to walk far. The shop was decked out to look like a candy confection. "I feel a stomach ache coming on." He shook his head and entered. It was a giant candy paradise! "Oh whoa! Hello?" He looked about and saw the older ones looking at him. He giggled as he saw what Katashi was wearing. He walked over to the older one and smiled. "Katashi san you look silly. Here!" He swiped the antlers and stuck them on his head. "This looks better on you." He pulled a white santa hat from his pack and placed it on Katashi's head. "Where is everybody anyway? I hope Ai comes."

Noname gave his father a strange look as they approached the gingerbread-esque shop. Cat had come home, finally, after an extended time being off... doing things. The boy hadn't offered much in the way of explanation to his son - but then again, Cat seldom explained himself. He was back now, and was likely going to stay that way. He HAD admitted that he'd felt awful about having to leave in the first place, and even worse when the house didn't recognize Nani as a Master. They were in the process of fixing that... "they" being the people that built the house in the first place.
Cat paused in front of the doors for a moment to adjust the outfit he had Nani in, giving it a little tug here and there, trying to make him presentable. The pocky boy, for his part, stood still enough while he was fussed over. He didn't much like being nitpicked, but then again that was just Cat's way of showing that he cared. Once Nani was deemed presentable enough, Cat produced a red tophat with gold trim from nowhere, and fit it snugly over the child's head. Nani's ears popped out from holes designed for that. He looked rather smart in the red and gold suit, and the hat just completed it. Even his boots were of the same ilk - red with golden laces and eyelets.
That done, Cat pushed open the doors to the shop, and let Nani wander in before him. The pocky boy was awestruck by the decor, and sort of froze in place for a moment, before Cat called out, breaking the spell.
"The Cat and Noname are here!" He called. "Something smells very good..."

Mikael turned at the shout. "Oh yeah! More people!" He ran over and smiled at Noname. "Hiya! I'm Mikael! You have a nice outfit." Mikael felt frumpy. All he had was his snowsuit and leather coat with the fluffy neck and cuffs. Oh and the antlers her took off Katashi. Plus his well worn boots also of leather.
He could never have pretty clothes like Ai and this boy. His smile slipped a bit.

Nani turned around to look at the person who was talking to him. It was one of the boys he hadn't met yet! Wagging his tail slightly - which was odd at the best of times, and even odder for a cat - he made a pretty little bow toward the other pocky boy. And he COULD tell it was a pocky boy for some reason. It was just plain to see, for him.
Cat saw that he was going to be pulled away for a bit by other boys, and made his way to one of the comfortable [and tasty] looking chairs, to plop himself down, and sigh.
The cattish pocky boy himself offered a huge grin in the direction of the other.
"Hi! Nani's name is Nani!" His head tilted to one side as he studied the other carefully, formulating an appropriate nickname for him, as he did for all the other boys he'd met. "Foxy looks better than Nani. Nani's clothing is sparkly, but Foxy's stuff looks comfortable!"
Why Foxy? Eh, the boy simply reminded Nani of a fox.

Katashi turned towards the door when he heard it open, watching as Mikael entered. "Hello Mikael." he said in a slightly distressed voice before the younger boy came over to him, slumping slightly when he was called silly. Which was exactly why he hadn't wanted to wear them in the first place. He blinked when his head wear was swapped for something slightly more aesthetic. "T-thank you... I'm not sure. They'll probably arrive soon enough..." Words trailed off when the door opened a second time and the boy disappeared from his side to go to the newcomer's.
Ryuusei called out from his place at the kitchen entryway, "Feel free to try some of the snacks and drinks on the tables!" he said, gesturing at the candy cane tables covered in various holiday goodies. "I promise the drinks aren't alcoholic." he said with a mischievous wink and a sky grin. Well, they might not be alcoholic, but considering what the pocky boys are, they could very well have a similar effect for all he knew.

Kiyoshi couldn't say that he was the biggest fan of snow, not since he and his friend Puck had gotten stuck in a snow storm when they were younger and they had feared being lost in the white out weather forever. Since then he'd done all he could to avoid the stuff as though it were a dangerous and unspeakable plague... but when the invitation arrived for himself and Tatsuo at their appartment he couldn't really ignore it. The more they went out the more friends his son would be able to make and that was something that he wanted for Tatsuo. The boy seemed to slowly but surely be getting over his shyness with each meeting with others his age, something that made Kiyoshi quite happy. As such he was willing to brave even his worst fear to make sure that they got to the party and on time.
Like the overly cautious and protective father that he was he'd bundled Tatsuo up in his green button up coat, helped him get on his gloves, his hat, his scarf, and boots that would be good for walking around outside in... not that Tatsuo did that a lot since the boy was able to get Kiyoshi to carry him from place to place and all he had to do was give his father that puppy dog look of his that he'd perfected. Under all of the winter bundling was a warm sweater, also green as it seemed to be Tatsuo's favorite color along with blue, and a pair of jeans. Kiyoshi was dressed much differently then normal, deciding that he would dress nicely for the party instead of walking around in his archery garb as he did more often then not finding it to be the most comfortable thing to wear. He was wearing a pair of dark slacks, a white button up shirt, and while he'd debated a tie he'd gone without it not wanting to look to dressed up. He'd pulled on his coat as well, put his feet into his own boots, and then headed out with Tatsuo in his arms.
A short time later the pair of them were arriving at the shop that they had both come from, both created during the same holiday, and he gave a little smile, "I am sure it will be a lot of fun." He was telling Tatsuo as he made sure to check his boots to make sure that they were clean before heading inside, not wanting to track anything inside. Just as he was opening the door another boy came running up toward them, coming to a nearly sliding halt before starring up at Kiyoshi and Tatsuo with rather wide eyes, looking a touch dazed for a moment.
"Ahh... w-wow... Hello!" He happily greeted the pair, smoothing his hands over his rather ornate garb, looking as though he had just come from a wedding or other sort of fancy event but it was just the normal sort of clothing that Ai wore unless he was going out where he might get dirty then he would force himself to dress down so as not to risk his clothing, "My name is Ai!" He chirped, introducing himself to the cute boy and the rather gorgeous man carrying him.
Kiyoshi smiled, "Hello Ai, my name is Kiyoshi and this is my son Tatsuo. Coming to the party as well I see?" He asked, before looking up to see a woman in break neck tall high heels hurrying along down the sidewalk to try to catch up with her boy who had sudden rushed on ahead of her, now she understood why seeing who he was talking with... she was pretty sure if she'd seen that guy first she might have run to him as well.
Once she had caught up Kiyoshi opened up the door for the woman, allowing her in first as politeness dictated that Ladies were first and then allowed Ai in after her and he stepped in after them. Once inside Kiyoshi set Tatsuo down on his own two feet, "How about you and Ai go and see who else is here?" He suggested, looking toward the woman to see if it was alright and she gave a nod of her head.
Ai gave a happy smile, taking Tatsuo's hand in his to drag the green haired boy forward while Kiyoshi merely smiled and set about looking around, to see if there was anyone he recognized while Vanleia moved off to the side to keep an eye on things and make sure Ai behaved himself but not really looking to bring to much attention to herself unless she was approached first.

Mikael looked confused. "Foxy?! Oh me? Nice to meetcha Nani!" He turned as the door opened. "Ai!" He ran over and hugged both boys. "Hey there!"
He was so thirsty. He grabbed a drink off the table and guzzled it.
He felt hungry and nibbled on a cupcake. Ugh! What was wrong with him.

Ceinlys had wanted to go to this party from the very moment he heard of it. It sounded very exciting, so many Pocky children all in one place, talking and doing fun things together...
And now, here he was, having been dropped off by Nash in front of the shoppe. Waving to his guardian, the Strawberry child scampered inside, eyes widening at all the candy-decorations. Woooow. If he could learn to cook things like this, he would be the best cook ever. He had to find out who had made this stuff!
But first, he saw someone he recognized. "Nani!" he called, bounding over toward the other child. "Hi!"

Mikael saw the new guy come in. He was pink and kinda cute. He wondered how he tasted. "What the?!" Now he knew something was off. He went over and hugged the new boy. "Hello tastey! What's your name? I'm Mikael!"

As soon as Rie had received the invitation in the mail, he'd started pestering Cyril about it, insisting that they attend! The imperious little Pocky Boy refused to take no for an answer, despite all of Cyril's shy protests that he really wasn't a party person and honestly, he didn't like crowds and Rie got much too excited for Cyril to properly control him when there were other people around. Especially other Pocky Boys.
Pouting, fluttering his little wings, stomping his little food and outright begging didn't work, so Rie finally gave up on his usual tactics and decided to go for something new -- nudity! Until Cyril promised to take him to the party, he declared, he wouldn't wear a stitch of clothing.
Five minutes of that was all it took for Cyril to fold, embarrassed nearly to death and wondering how he was raising such a monster.
Now, as Rie skipped happily into the shop, he was dressed in a bright green tunic with gold edgings over a pair of miniature black leather trousers. His wings were freshly polished until they gleamed and he wore a little crown on his head with red and green brilliants in place of the rubies and emeralds he'd demanded. Cyril had tried to explain he couldn't afford a real crown but when Rie had just suggested that they conquer the city and demand a crown as tribute, Cyril had quickly given up on making him see reason and instead searched around online until he found a cosplayer's crown, ordering it to be shipped express to the house so that Rie could have it in time for the party.
Rie glanced around the shop eagerly, Cyril tagging behind in his wake like a dejected blond puppy with an enthusiastic child for a master, and beamed brightly at all his subjects. "I'm here! The party can now start! Are there are any ribbons for me to cut to open the party officially?"

Ai gave a little giggle as he was pulled into a hug by Mikael, "Hello Mikael!" He chirped, flushing in a happy manner as he returned the hug while Tatsuo merely stood there in a slight daze, eyes going wide, as he was hugged as well, "That was Mikael, isn't he cute?" He asked of Tatsuo who looked Mikael over before slowly nodding in agreement, he supposed that he was cute, wasn't he? He hadn't really noticed that first thing when meeting him.
"I... I know M-Mikael, we met once." He murmured shyly to Ai who seemed to be a far more social person by far then Tatsuo was, maybe he could learn from him?
Ai and Tatsuo both looked at Ceinlys as he appeared and came over to where a lot of boys there age were gathering and Ai instantly smiled, "Wow! He's cute too." He murmured before blushing a little as he declared that, then again if you asked Ai everyone was cute, everyone needed hugs, and everyone was a target for the boy's habit of instantly falling in love with them.
"Y-Yes... he is." Tatsuo once more agreed, finding the other boy's pink hair to be rather pretty. It was kind of wavy and such a bright color he thought to himself lifting a hand to scratch at his scaly cheek in a thoughtful manner.
Both of them seemed to be debating over over to greet Ceinlys for different reasons when suddenly a rather enthusiastic and confident voice drew their attention to it, to the boy that was saying that now that he was here the party could start. Tatsuo's eyes got a bit wide as he looked him over he, as well as the one that had been referred to as 'Nani' were ones that he saw a bit as kindred spirits, the one boy had little wings and the other had cat features while Tatsuo had the scales. It was things that made them slightly different from the more normal looking boys. Were he at all brave he might have approached the pair, instead he seemed to stick with tagging along with Ai... which was suddenly leading them toward the winged boy.
"Prince Rie!" Ai cried in delight, sounding super excited to once more be able to meet with the Prince that he had met with so long ago! It was like a wonderful dream getting to meet Rie again, he had wondered if he would ever run into the wonderful dragon prince again and as luck would have it he to was attending this party! Something that made it all that much better if you asked him.

Nani was going to go say hi to Princess, but the other one got there first, and started greeting him before Nani could get one word out edgewise. He swallowed whatever he was going to say, and wandered on over to one of the couches to sit down, and curl up.
He didn't feel too bad... maybe a little dizzy. After all, he'd just gotten home from the hospital, and wasn't supposed to be doing TOO terribly much yet. Still... He'd just wait for someone to come greet HIM, since everyone seemed to know everyone else, and that fact alone was kind of depressing, since Nani didn't know that many people at all.

"My loyal subject!" Rie grinned at Ai cheerfully, revealing his tiny white fangs as he did so. Of course he remembered Ai! He hadn't met very many Pocky Boys at all and Ai had been nice to him. He held out a hand for Ai to kiss, prompting him just in case he didn't know what he as meant to do, "You may kiss my hand."
The other boy with the scales on his cheek made Rie's bright green eyes widen as he took in the strange boy's less-than-human appearance. There was another Pocky Boy like him! Maybe he was also part dragon? Rie didn't have any scales on him yet, he checked every morning for them, but he had wings and horns and tiny little fangs so maybe the boys just grew at different rates.
"Are you also a dragon?" Rie asked him point blank. For the sake of diplomacy (he could see poor Cyril hovering anxiously about and looking distressed at Rie's bluntness), he added, "I like your hair! Green is my favorite color."
He flapped his little green wings for a moment to show why.

The invitation had come in the mail, recieved by one dark-skinned little pocky boy. A squeal of delight escaped Mythen's mouth when he saw who it was from, and he ran into the house where his guardian was...attempting to work on the large pine tree. However, being blind has its detriments when one is trying his hand at home decorating. Especially when your 'son' is determined to get your attention....by any means possible. Having been on a ladder, working on getting an ornament onto one of the higher hanging branches, Nailen duGabrielle nearly screamed when the little one ran up to him yelling, "NAILEN!! PARTY!"
Falling back onto his behind, the young elf rubbed at his eyes, feeling about for his staff, "..I wouldn't do too well with a Party, Mythen….And-" Grinning, the boy reached out, taking his hand, and pulling him up, "But we gotta! It's from the guys who…." And even with only that, the elf understood. Sighing, he toyed with a bit of his own silver hair, "You want to go to the party? Fine….Get me a decent set of clothing, since you complain that I cannot dress myself." The silver pocky boy grinned wickedly. Running in to the bedroom, he slid his 'guardian' into a santa outfit that he'd found….with a skirt. Letting silver hair down from a ponytail, making sure silver bangs framed sightless blue eyes, Mythen simply admired his work.
Perfection~.
And since the blind elf didn't question the younger's motives, off they went, the elder being dragged along, with black boots clicking on the pavement. Moving to the door of the shop, Mythen took a breath, and then dragged Nai in, eyes lighting up as he saw the interior. All of it confections! Everywhere he looked, everything was perfect!
