BSC Balloon Poll: Round 1

[wisdomeagle]

This round is closed.

So, in the spirit of the VMars and SG-1 balloon polls booster17 just finished up, I bring you the Baby-Sitters' Club Balloon Poll. I wanted to toss the kids in there too, but then I realized there'd be way too many. So, just club members. [My knowledge of canon post-#100 is extremely spotty, so consider this vaguely AU. And OMG, it's a BALLOON POLL, and I'm worried about canon. *officially sucks*]

"Gosh, this is great, Kristy," Claudia said around a mouthful of jellybeans. "Good food, good friends, and we're practically in the clouds."

"Too bad we couldn't bring the kids with us, though," Jessi pointed out. "They'd have loved this."

"Well, Watson is rich, but he wasn't about to rent hot-air balloon rides for all of Stoneybrook. We're lucky he even let us go."

"It's a special occasion, though," said Mary Anne a bit dreamily. "It's not every day you're about to start ninth grade..." She leaned against Logan, who ruffled her hair.

"Plus, we've got the whole gang back together," Kristy pointed out, motioning towards Dawn, Jessi, and Mal. "So I think this is a perfect time to make a speech."

"Uh, Kristy?" Logan stood up suddenly. "Look."

Kristy looked where he was pointing -- straight down -- and almost fell out of the balloon in her excitement. "Uh oh. That's not good. Guys, we're falling fast. Claudia, junk food, now!"

Claudia was so surprised she didn't even argue, just tossed the jellybeans over the edge. But even after they'd tossed the picnic basket, the Club Notebook ("Why'd you bring that, anyhow?"), and Stacey's special Kid-Kit, the balloon continued to sink."

"Um, Kristy?" Mary Anne said in a small voice. "I hate to be the one to say it, but I think one of us is going to have to jump."

They got sick of her talking about health food and pushed her . . .

Anybody else have this strange urge to have them fall through some weird dimensional portal on the way down which leads to orgy!land?

I'm wondering if it's okay to make an NC-17 rated balloon poll. I mean, it's not typical, of course, but... it's the BSC!

[ladylakira.livejournal.com]

I assume you mean that the BSC is atypical, as opposed to meaning that the BSC deserve an NC-17 rated balloon poll.

...Actually, I'm not sure you don't mean the latter, nor do I necessarily think that you shouldn't mean the latter.[/negative abuse]

If it's going to be an NC-17 poll, I don't think it should involve balloons. It should involve a BDSM dungeon and a twisted game of spin the bottle....[/kink]

I meant that balloon polls with sex weren't typical (at least the ones I've seen), but that hey, it's the BSC, and why that makes it *more* okay for there to be sex, I do not know, except that my brain is teh_twisted, but we'll see how the storyline progresses. Or something.

I can't even remember who Abby is!! She's Claudia's artist friend, right? Normally I'd say Logan would be chivalrous and jump out first, but dude, Logan is cute! Plus, Mary Anne would be heartbroken and we just can't have that. So Abby it is :)

[wisdomeagle]

Claud's artist friend is Ashley. Abby is the new baby-sitter who replaces Dawn when Dawn goes off to CA for good.

Abby is a good choice -- I'm hoping she goes quickly so I don't have to write any dialogue for her.

Mary Anne would sacrifice herself for her friends. *loves her*
