IIIIIIII love a parade~

[changelingdude.livejournal.com]

Somewhere along the way, Beastboy had lost track of time on board Stacy but he had been shocked to realize what day it would have been back home. After a moment of disappointment a thought struck him and he rushed to the Sensoriums.

The world exploded in noise and sound as New York City appeared in front of him. Confetti and cheers, clowns and music, massive balloons and floats drifting through the buildings as millions of people were recreated by the Sensoriums to re-enact the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Of coarse being Beastboy's memories to fuel this scene the floats, musical number and so on were all from previous years, and some of the balloons and floats had a distinctly Beastboy theme to them.

Like the giant Green Turkey Float holding a sign that suggested trying Tofurkey.

And a Float of Titan's Tower with big headed mascot versions of the Titans waving at the crowd.

Even a massive Captain Carrot Balloon drifted through the air as Beastboy cheered and watched with a twinkle in his eyes. It was so real, the magic of the Sensoriums had brought him somewhere he'd only ever seen on T.V.

And if anyone were to wander in they'd be able to enjoy the show as well.

"Who knew that the ability to turn into a vegetarian tyrannosaur was the cure to a disease that turns you green? Lime Disease?" She says with a small laugh. "Did you learn your lesson about messing around with monkeys?"

[changelingdude.livejournal.com]

Beastboy let out a laugh at the "Lime disease" joke, it was his kind of humor and when she asked he turned into a monkey scrambling up onto her shoulder, "Not so much no." His voice joked without his talking. A trick of the sensorium.

Eva's used to thoughtspeak, so she doesn't even think twice. "So I'm guessing I'd be a pretty recognizable pirate, with a rather verdant you on my shoulder."

[changelingdude.livejournal.com]

The monkey winked, "I think you'd be a pretty unforgettable pirate with or without me, emphasis on the "Pretty" part~" He chirped a weird monkey chuckle.

Again influenced by their conversation, this time a pirate ship went sailing down the street covered in brightly dressed pirates who were singing some kind of broadway shanty.

She laughs. "Young man, you should know that I have a son older than you. You might want to reconsider your flattery."

[changelingdude.livejournal.com]

He sprang nimbly from her shoulder and landed on the ground shifting back and winking with a cheesy bow, "Age ain't nothin' but a number~ And I won't reconsider the truth." A big grin and a wiggle of his pointy ears.

Oh if only he knew just who her son was...more to the point what her son would do if he found out.

"And it's a higher number than you're thinking, kid." Still, she's grinning. He's a charming and innocent-seeming enough kid, so she'll just take this as complimentary tomfoolery and not objectionable. "So New York apparently exists in your world. Planet Earth?"

[changelingdude.livejournal.com]

"Yep, one of them at least."

Oh look a float depicting an earth with all sorts of children holding hands and singing.

"I live...err...lived, in Jump City California. Nice place! Lot's of sun, but just far enough North we get all four seasons." He sighed blissfully thinking back to his city and the simpler time.

[vissernone.livejournal.com]

"Huh. I'm from California and I've never heard of Jump City. Then again, I've never heard of diseases that turn you green. And I'm no fan of winter, myself. You can keep your seasons."

"Alright West Coast! Represent!" Beastboy threw up his hand for a high five.

"I wouldn't be surprised if Jump City didn't exist in your universe...apparently in some universes there aren't superpowers or cool stuff like that. Totally boring." He smirked proudly.

[vissernone.livejournal.com]

She returns the high five. "I liked totally boring. I'd be first in line if they invented a time machine to take us back to the era of total boredom."

[changelingdude.livejournal.com]

"Heh, I guess I understand that." He rubbed his arm a little embarrassed, "Sometimes I forget not everyone is used to these "All or nothing" end of the world type scenes."

[vissernone.livejournal.com]

"Oh no, I'm plenty used to it." Her expression darkens a little. "Just because insanity invites itself into my life doesn't mean I have to enjoy it, though."

[changelingdude.livejournal.com]

"Yeah I can understand that." He laughed more nervously "No sense in letting it drag us down though. The ship is as insane and screwed up as the rest of us."

[vissernone.livejournal.com]

"Gee, somehow the fact that Planet Meatball tortures people and just might be insane doesn't cheer me up. I wonder why," she says dryly.

[changelingdude.livejournal.com]

The music seemed to die down and the notes were falling flat as Beastboy flailed a little, "A-ah heh heh, sorry. Guess I used up all my A list material right off the bat with the party." That too was a joke but only in the most basic sense of the word. He was determined to try and keep seeing the glass half full.

[vissernone.livejournal.com]

Good luck with that with Eva. "What, you only remember one parade?"

[changelingdude.livejournal.com]

He huffed and pouted a little, "No! I just thought maybe you'd like to give it a shot. Come on, what's it like back where you come from? bet we have cooler balloons." He baited.
