Hustino: Hey, how do you think things are going?
Guru-Guru: Not bad. I thought I heard a small explosion outside, though. Do you think Zazie's handling things okay?
Hustino: It was probably the wind. I'm sure Zazie can handle the job...after all, we did pay him quite a bit.
Guru-Guru: So what's next?
Hustino: Party games...we need everyone tired so they don't make a mess when they're eating...they're like a bunch of rabid little kids.
Guru-Guru: Well, let's start!
Birthday Surprise
Chapter 5: Party Games
"Okay, everyone!" shouted Kenny, "It's time for the games! Hustino, get him." He mumbled the last part.
"Okay!" Hustino dived on Legato, who was tied up and duct taped to the wall before anyone could blink. "First game, pin the tail on the Legato!" Legato's face lost all color, and Hustino handed out donkey tails to all the guests while Kenny sedated T9, who was a little too excited about the game.
Each of the guests took turns trying to pin the tail on the Legato...except Vash, who doesn't like pain (receiving or giving), so he sat down...over there. Wolfwood jabbed the pin into Legato's arm over and over saying something about "this is for killing me, you ass!" and Millie couldn't figure out how to use the pin. Malon had to be restrained after trying to pin the tail on the Legato, except replacing the pin with an angry Cucco. Link, despite being familiar with all sorts of pointy things, missed Legato completely. And Zelda just...kinda sat off to the side, since she lets Link use all the sharp pointy things for her, being too lazy herself.
Then, it was time for the birthday girl herself to try it. Blu grabbed up everyone else's donkey tails, and jumped at Legato screaming 'For Wolfie!" and jabbed all the pins into Legato's rear. She happily trotted away, since she won the first birthday game at her own party AND caused Legato massive pain to his butt area.
"BLU WINS! And the prize is...umm..." Hustino looked around desperately. Unable to locate anything else, he held up an unopened package of ramen triumphantly before tossing it to Blu.
"YAY!" Blu immediately pounced on the ramen and out of nowhere, produced a bowl of hot water. Within a minute the ramen was gone and everyone was staring at Blu. "What? Whatdi do?"
"Time for the second game!" Kenny yelled, "Legato, get over here."
"What?! NO!" Legato rubbed his butt. After getting quite a few stab wounds from an angry girl with enough adrenaline from the excitement of her birthday party, you'd be rubbing your butt, too.
"Legato. Come. Here."
"...Does it involve sharp things being jabbed into me?"
Kenny and Hustino looked at each other, then Hustino answered, "No, not at all!" Everyone (other than Legato) in the room 'awwed' in disappointment. Legato walked over to Hustino and Kenny. "Now!" They took Legato's coat and stuffed it full of candy, zipped it up, and hung it from the ceiling. "Who wants to play piñata?" Hustino held up a bat and a blindfold.
First up to the piñata was Malon. New to this game, she jabbed the bat straight out in random directions. In the end, she wound up on the floor, with Wolfwood relieving her of the bat and blindfold. The priest took the same approach to the piñata as he did to the last game, with wild yelling. Missing every time, he surrendered the equipment to the last participant, Blu.
"Mwahahahahaha!" shouted the fox demon as she swung the bat around wildly, hitting something every time. After about five minutes, she heard the sound of candy falling to the ground. Taking off the blindfold, she found the partygoers, not scrambling for candy, but lying on the ground, bleeding, Kenny and Hustino in the background, each with a rather large sweatdrop. "Umm...oops?"
"That was...great, Blu..." Hustino said. Kenny clapped, but not too enthusiastically.
"What do I get this time for a prize?" Blu hopped over and grinned.
The two guys looked at each other then back to Blu. Kenny said, "Uh, you beat up Legato and got rained on by candy. You need a prize other than that?"
"Aww..." she pouted. As usual, the two of them easily caved in by the sight (the saps). Kenny looked around, but couldn't find anything. Hustino...found a dog biscuit. They shrugged and then he tossed it to Blu, who happily trotted away with it in her mouth.
After a long and heated conflict (a.k.a. musical chairs), the number of participants shrunk. Millie couldn't figure out the concept of the game, Wolfwood...didn't really care, everyone just pushed TK away, Zelda, well, was Zelda and had Link play for her, and Malon somehow tried to play the game using a bottle of milk and a Cucco...oddly enough, three people were injured because of that. It was down to the last of the contestants: Link, Vash, Legato, T9, and the birthday girl herself, Blu.
The music started and everyone resumed skipping around the chairs, an amusing sight in the cases of Link and Legato, and somewhat normal for Vash and Blu. The music stopped, and Vash, Legato, and Link all managed to get chairs. T9 and Blu on the other hand... "I was sitting here first!"
"No you weren't!"
"Then why are you sitting on my shirt?" Soon, everyone still in the game found themselves in a riot. Needless to say...it wasn't pretty...
-Outside-
"This is SO damn slow! Besides that freaky fairy dude, nothing's happened!" Zazie was sitting outside the front door, staring at the sky. He was so bored, he was trying to pick out as many sandworms and toothbrushes as he could in the sky. "Whoa, that sandworm's even got a spot of blood on it. Hey, waitaminute!"
Pulling a pair of binoculars out of nowhere, Zazie identified the red object as a fat man in a green suit, floating in his direction by a red balloon. "Aww, crap, not this freak again!"
"Kooloo limpah! Hey down there, little guy! It looks like Tingle outsmarted you!"
"What is he doing...?" Then Zazie noticed the chimney on the roof of the house. He was worried about the fat guy getting in through there...until he realized when Tingle tried to get into the chimney, that fat guys don't do well with chimneys.
Other than Santa.
He knew he had a little time, so Zazie casually walked into the house, past a group of people knocked out (he noticed that those two girls were still fighting) and towards the fireplace, whistling to himself. He pulled out a big wooden box with the word 'acme' in big black letters on the side, and pulled out a bunch of dynamite, shoving it into the fireplace. He opened a closet nearby, found some bricks and mortar, and made a little wall to hold back the explosion. Before he placed the last brick, though, he tossed in a match.
One would think that the occupants of the house would have noticed the explosion, but they were all used to it, unconscious, or both. The only one besides Zazie to notice it was Tingle, who shortly after found himself shooting out of the chimney like a ball from a cannon, except this ball shouted "Kooloo limpah!" as it faded into the horizon.
