party post: hail the conquering heroes | outside, tree fort

[ikissdhimbck]

Anyone in the main barroom or out by the lake today will be treated to an odd sight. Dozens of girls, shouting, squealing, running through the backdoor and across the lawn, arms laden with all manner of treats — and one boy, tied up, pulled along with them.

The gang makes their way to the forest, where a tree fort rises above the ground. It's quite a fancy fort, equipped with slingshots, water balloon launchers, and other weaponry and defenses. The interior paneling has some Cybertronian script on it. There's a tire swing outside fashioned from a tractor tire, a crow's nest, and the entrance may be had by ladder, drawbridge, or manual elevator. Inside there are comics, pudding snacks, and the sort of things you'd expect to see in a tree house. It was clearly designed by somebody who really loved their gadgets, and knew what they were doing.

Kate and Natasha have seized the property. Being outlaws in need of a hideout, and all.

"This way!"

Natasha is already inside, leaving all entrances open to the returning posse and offering cover from anyone who might be following. Once the snacks are secured and the prisoner is dealt with, everyone can breathe a huge sigh of relief.

And enjoy the fruits of their labor.


[ooc: give us one minute to set up some thread headings before tagging We're open for business! This post is wide, wide open to everyone — boy, girl, adult, child, animal, mineral, etc. The girls will be inside the tree fort, but it's completely visible from the ground for any who want to stop by and see what's going on, or sneak their way in. ^__^

Re: Celebrations inside the tree fort

"Me, too!" Jess says, raising her hand briefly before going back to unloading her loot. She sets all the bottles of syrup up, the chocolate sauce, maraschino cherries, gummies and any other toppings she thought looked tasty.

Grabbing a sour worm, she asks, "What should we call ourselves?" before taking a bit and squirming at the taste.

"Ohh, that's a good idea!"

Kate skips over and settles in a very unladylike crouch, right beside Jess.

"We should have a name. Like The Hounds, or the Lincoln County Regulators, or—"

She taps her chin.

"Y'know, an awful lot of gangs jus' use their last names. That'd be awful complicated with all us girls."

"That's true," Jess admits and reaches for another worm to offer to Kate. "Well, you're our leader so maybe something like Kate's Gang or posse? Do you want on of these? THey're very sour if they have this powered sugar on them.

"We could call ourselves the Lady Liberators," she muses further, thinking of how often Natasha talked of liberating. "Though that was a super hero group back in my world."

"Natasha helped me do an awful lot of the work, so I'd want her name in there too if we called ourselves somethin' like that."

She takes the worm carefully, turning it over in her hand. It's very colorful — like a honest to goodness rainbow, more colorful than any foods she'd get at home. She bites half of the gummy, about to comment on how taffylike the consistency is when the sour powder hits her tongue. Her face scrunches.

"Thank you — oh, that's really sour! Mph, but sweet underneath. How odd. M'not sure how I like it."

She cracks an eye open.

"What's a super-hero?"
