party post: hail the conquering heroes | outside, tree fort
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: Taunting Tommy
He gives some thought to how Kate might be drawn as a comic book heroine.
"Maybe like Wonder Woman, 'cept dressed like a cowgirl and wearing a mask and riding a horse."
He doesn't own any Wonder Woman comics but he has lingered in the shop to flip through them, like every other boy does. He's not sure why. But he'll figure it out when he gets older. And when the TV show debuts in a couple of years.
Re: Taunting Tommy
"Who's Wonder Woman? Is she another of your colorful comic book characters?"
Careful, Tommy. Before you know it you'll be neck-deep in comic books with Kate again, imprinting all manner of ideas on her young mind.
Re: Taunting Tommy
"Uh huh. She wears red, white, and blue like the American flag and she has these wrist cuffs that she can stop bullets with and she has a golden lasso, too."
He's probably just rattled off a checklist of Things That Would Interest Kate. Looks as if it's off to the comic book aisle in the library again when this all blows over.
Re: Taunting Tommy
(Looks like you're right, Tommy.)
"That's perfect! Will y'show me when — ah, that is t'say, after the food's all been split up even an' we get outta here?"
Hopefully unshackled and uncaught.

"Sure!"
He doesn't care what his friends at home might think.
She's a cowgirl, and she's cool.
Re: Taunting Tommy
She's sure the boys on the ranch would have a thing or two to say about her cozying up to a boy, not to mention what her daddy would say, but they're not here are they?
Besides, what they don't know won't hurt them. It ain't like Tommy is that kind of boy, anyhow. They're just friendly.
"I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship."
