poyo?

[kaabii]

The door opens just a touch, and closes silently. Did you happen to see what it was opening for? Not if you were looking up. You would've missed the little, round, pink creature that slipped through the entrance and stopped, staring at all the tall things surrounding him. They really are quite huge! He's never been around so many large things at once. It's odd, though: they remind him of his friend, Adeline...if she grew into a giant, that is.

Cautiously, the pink creature advances into the bar, holding to his mouth one of the pink nubs that must be his hands. Or arms. Or maybe they're both? It doesn't occur to him to ask any of these giants where he is. He's not sure they can hear him. There's also something distracting him, a certain delicious smell...

The smell of the most mouth watering cake his eyes have ever seen! Way up high on that counter above his head! Like it was waiting for him! The pink creature stands, enthralled, for several moments, before he realizes something very important: that cake is not going to get in his belly if he just stares at it.

So he jumps, breathes in a puff of air and floats to the top of the counter. Then, positioned next to the cake, he opens his mouth wide.

...your drinks and food might've gotten caught up in the resulting vortex. Whoops?

"..What the?! HEY MY STEW!"

...And his bread and his mug of beer! He just got off of a kitchen shift! Beauford earned that meal darnit@

[kaabii]

Kirby realizes he may have gone overboard when he closes his mouth. The cake was delicious--except for the part where it tasted like a bunch of other things that weren't cake. Oh, well. At least he's full?

Except there's this giant yelling at him, and he doesn't know what to feel. So he stares at the guy with no small amount of confusion.

"Poyo?"

[basic_powers]

"...Oh come on, seriously, you just inhaled my shift meal and beer, don't give me that look." Beauford stands up, hands on his hips. "Dangit, now I've got to fix myself another bowl."

[kaabii]

"...poyo," the pink creature says guiltily. He looks down to his feet--red booties that could double as shoes--and shuffles them awkwardly. What can he do?

[basic_powers]

"...how well can you push a broom around?"

He's not an unforgiving giant! Just one who is a little sore about his favorite meal getting taken away right under his mouth.

[kaabii]

A broom...?

"Poyo!" he says brightly. As long as he can inhale it, or anything cleaning related!

[basic_powers]

"...I'm gonna hope that was a 'yes, I can do that'." The giant ducks into a closet and brings out the broom and dustpan for the little pink thing. "You help sweep up around here and I'll call us even for the whole accidental meal-snagging."

[kaabii]

The giant may not be expecting the pink thing to open his mouth again to inhale the broom. But that's exactly what he does. And then he seems to eat it.

And like that, he now...has a tiny broom?

The player herself is not sure what the point of that was, but the puff seems pretty content with his CLEANING SUPERPOWER.

[basic_powers]

...

...

...

"Okay then, have at it, buddy!"

Seriously Milliways what the ever-loving fucking hell.

The giant gives the pink blob two thumbs up and points to cleaning the Bar in general...before ducking back into the kitchen for a new bowl of stew, bread and a bottle of cold beer this time.

And when the pink blob comes back, there is a slice of strawberry pie waiting for it on the counter.

[kaabii]

The pink blob happily goes about cleaning the bar as if this was a totally normal progression from his previous stroll about Dream Land. By the time he's through, the bar looks, well--pretty good, actually! He looks about for his new giant friend, frowning when he can't find him.

But

but

dat pie

but

but

...he made someone angry the last time he tried to eat, so maybe he shouldn't eat it. What if it isn't his? :(

[basic_powers]

A note napkin appears at eye-level to the pink blob.

That pie is all yours, just make sure to eat it carefully at ground level, okay?

-PS: Next time just ask first before inhaling something. That way you're always covered!

[kaabii]

"Poyo!" he says cheerfully, and proceeds to...procure himself a fork and knife with witch to eat the pie.

Logic is sometimes lost on the little puff.

[pullsneedles]

"My omelet!"

That wasn't fair!

Lucas looks in the direction of his formerly flying and now missing omelet. He's almost afraid that he'll once again glance inside the gaping jaw of the Ultimate Chimera.

Fortunately, Kirby is far less intimidating to the boy.

"I would've shared if you asked," he says once he finds the omelet eater.

because HAL characters need to stick together!

[kaabii]

"Poyo," the pink creature says guiltily. He doesn't know how to explain himself further! If he could barf out the the omelet he would, but that would be, well--

Dangerous. Have you *seen* the stars he spits out when he's inhaled that much stuff? He'd make a clean path of destruction inside and outside the bar!

Damn straight we do!

[pullsneedles]

Well, it's kind of hard to stay mad at Kirby.

"It's all right," he says, getting the gist of Kirby's feelings. "Really, I'm glad it was just my omelet and not me."

But now there's the matter of getting another. And making sure the pink creature doesn't accidentally devour that one, too.

"Are you still hungry?"

[kaabii]

If Kirby were snarkier and more cynical--if, say, he were Kirby's Avalanche!Kirby--he would say something to the effect of "what kind of stupid question is that of course I'm always hungry!"

But since this is the cute, innocent Kirby who doesn't tell Whispy Woods he "feels like some apple pie" as a taunt, he merely places a nub to his mouth and lets out a pondering, "Poyo?"

A second later, he lets out an affirmative, "Poyo!"

That poyo sure is versatile.

[ ooc: lol, I was telling another m-ways mun how amused I was that Lucas tagged Kirby for Reasons, and then my music player started playing something from Kirby Mass Attack (which was scored by the same person who scored Mother 3). Because my music player is psychic. ]

[pullsneedles]

Lucas laughs.

"I'll get us both some omelets then."

What the hell. He's got some DP.

"My name's Lucas, by the way."

[ooc: I should listen to this, for Mother 3 music is full of epic. And sorry I've been so slow. My internet, she is made of the fail.]

[kaabii]

"Lucas?" Kirby repeats. He thinks he's got it right, even if his accent is a bit different from Lucas'.

He makes a small jump, then says, "Kaabii! Kaabii!"

His name is cabby.

[ ooc: is okay! I am just slow in general so I'm cool w/ whatever speed people can tag at. Also, convenient link is convenient. He also worked on Air Ride and Squeak Squad but that was like with Every Other Sound Composer Working for HAL at The Time ]

[pullsneedles]

"Yeah!" Lucas says, encouraged by the pink thing now being able to say his name.

"Cabby?" he tries. "Is that your name?"

[kaabii]

"Poy...Kaa...bii?"

'Cabby' didn't sound quite right to his ears.

[pullsneedles]

"Kaah...bii?" he tries again, stretching it out.

"Maybe if you could spell it?" he offers.

He gets a comic book from his right and passes it over to use as writing material.

[kaabii]

The bar provides Kirby with a pink crayon with which he scribbles, in Big Giant Text:



"Poyo!"

[pullsneedles]

"Kirby?" Lucas says, more confident this time.

[kaabii]

"Poyo!" he says with a hop.

[pullsneedles]

Awesome! Lucas got his new friend's name right!

(Because that's all you really need to be in the Lucas friends circle.)

"What kind of omelets do you like, Kirby?"

Though he kind of has the feeling that there aren't omelets Kirby doesn't like.

[kaabii]

...


"Poyo!"

That's Kirby for EVERYTHING :D

[pullsneedles]

Works for Lucas!

He orders two everything omelets.

With ketchup!

[hey35andholding]

"..Damn it!"

Those WERE her fries, Kirby!

[kaabii]

"Poyo?"

Kirby wants to go over and investigate, but the giant's all angry at him, and he's kind of concerned for his safety.

[hey35andholding]

....Awwwww.

He sounds so scared.

...Maybe he's a manifestation of her inner child or something?

"Aww...I'm not mad, lil' guy. C'mere!"

This still not entirely sure this isn't one long, great trip.
