What, you guys don't have balloon parties sometimes? They're a really good way to cheer yourself up...

[She doesn't mind showing him though.]

Oh! I know, we'll bring some back with us!

[sharktrash]

[ Sorry, maybe he's too old or too sociopathic for this. D: ]

...how the hell do balloons cheer you up?

[magic_to_do]

Um, a better question is how do they not cheer you up...

[It might also be that Trucy is easily amused by a lot of simple things.]

I mean, c'mon. You're having a bad day but then I come by and give you a silly hat made out of balloons. That has to make you feel at least one percent better.

[sharktrash]

[ ...maybe. He's just confused. ]

...I don't know about better, but definitely more stupid...

[magic_to_do]

[Confusion is an inevitable side effect of any lengthy conversation with Trucy.]

Or like, what about you had a really bad day and then you come home and someone has sent you a balloon bouquet! That would cheer anyone up.

[sharktrash]

...

[ TRUE THAT. And he'd probably point that out and walk away from most other people, but she's just overwhelming somehow and leaving him too dumbfounded to protest more often than not. ]

Right, so how about that helium?

[magic_to_do]

Right! Follow me~

[Satisfied that the conversation has gone her way, she'll lead him to the SC penthouse with a bounce in her step.]

Anyway, next time you're feeling down, give me a call. I'll cheer you up.

[In a way that might possibly involve balloon animals. Probably don't call her.]

[sharktrash]

[ AND HE DOES, balloon shark under arm and everything, greatly puzzled by said bouncing. Maybe it was some weird girl thing. ]

Right.

[ DEFINITELY NOT GONNA ]

[ But hey, if there's actually helium, he'll be flying that shark back to the party. Chaos ensuring. ]

[magic_to_do]

[There is, in fact several helium tanks and an array of differently colored balloons in System Crash's penthouse. Which Trucy will happily let him use.]

Should we bring any other balloons down with us? You can't really have too many.

[The bouncing is really a side effect of her extremely high energy levels. She actually is still bouncing in place as she talks to him.]

[sharktrash]

[ Oh shit. ]

[ He's just gonna inflate his shark, thanks. Once that's done, he stuffs the batteries into the remote and tries it out. The shark turns a circle around the room, and he whistles. ]

[ Okay that's an actual cool gift, so -- ]

If you want.

[ He'll probably regret this. ]

[ But not thinking that far now. Just steering the shark back towards their own penthouse while cackling to himself because this shit is hilarious. ]
