Who: Everyone! New Feathers especially.
What: New Feather welcome party!
When: Thursday, 5 pm.
Where: Battle Dome
Summary: IT'S A SUMMER PARTY
Rating: Worksafe, I reckon!
It's cold out there today, isn't it? Sure, it's not snowing but once you get into the Battle Dome, it'll be comfortably warmer. Warmer, not warm. Follow the tiny paper arrows and you'll probably find yourself in, well...summer!

It certainly looks convincing enough (a pool, a volleyball court, deck chairs, everything that you'd think you'd find at a pool party) and feels convincing enough (take off that coat! Aren't you hot?) so why not not step in? The barbecue's sizzling and there's some nice cold drinks at the cooler.

C'mon in, the water's awesome!

[So after his tail was mostly on display in a few different instances with little in the way of real reactions which are negative, Rin's decided that... well. He might as well just not work on hiding it here because as Shiemi said, it isn't super comfortable. Plus he'd need to be really creative to hide it in swim trunks.

That said, last time he ended up running a stand. This time he's tempted to hijack that barbecue but he resists in favor of trying to swim.

That said there's a little quirk with his tail. He really wasn't sure if he was supposed to have the tail go under/through his shorts, poke a hole in the shorts, or have it poke up over. The result is that it's making him have to adjust his trunks a lot]

[ Kotomi stands out a little considering she's in her normal clothes, since.. well, she didn't even know there was a party going on due to her general social obliviousness and fail. And after being attracted by the commotion around the Battle Dome, she's now here and utterly lost among the crowd.

It's probably why she's staring maybe a little intensely now she's found someone she knows, even if he's trying to swim - she probably doesn't even notice the tail yet. ]

... Rin-kun.

[That's... that's Kotomi! He hears her from behind him as he's trying to do a lap and he starts. No, he can turn and see her in a bikini. Maybe a one piece? boobs, here he comes! He turns and-]

[rashness]

[...normal clothes]

Hey.

[etudes]

Good day. [ now she's smiling just a liiittle more - at least she's not alone! ]

Are you going swimming?

[rashness]

Well, I mean I am swimming, yeah.

[etudes]

[ staring.... for a while.. ]

Maybe if I known we were going to swim I should have brought appropriate clothes too.. [ if only she wasn't, you know, oblivious. ]

[rashness]

Kotomi... this is a pool party.

[ UGH]

[etudes]

I didn't know it was a pool party. [ furthermore, ] I didn't even know there was a party..

[rashness]

Why did you think there were- look, why are you even at a Battle Deom if not for a party?

[etudes]

A lot of people were coming here while I was walking around, so.. .. I thought I should take a look to make sure everyone was okay.

[rashness]

Why don't you go get a swimsuit now then?!

[etudes]

... I don't have one.

[rashness]

Then go get one? Unless you're gunna- ... Just get one.

[accepted]

You might want to find a different swimming costume if you keep having to pull it up.

[Don't mind him, just making an out loud observation as he swims on by.]

[rashness]

This one's fine!

[As he tries to pull it up again. Stupid tail in the way.]

[accepted]

Could have fooled me, you look stupid trying to swim like that!

[Rolling his eyes. Yeesh.]

[rashness]

Like you could do any better!

[accepted]

Sure I could, I could swim rings around you whilst you keep messing about in the water!

[rashness]

Then let's race, jerk!

[accepted]

Fine! I'll show you!

First one across the pool and back wins, think you can manage that?

[rashness]

Fine, let's do it!

[accepted]

Fine!!

[Swimming over here to the poolside to start this race. But it's cool, he can wait whilst Rin messes around with his trunks some more if he needs to. So slow.]

[rashness]

[Oh yeah he's got this. Rin just yanks them up once before going into a position to go and then making a signal if it's time to go and... they're off!]

[accepted]

[Swimming as fast as he can whilst doing some sloppy version of the front crawl. This involves kicking his legs all over the place and sending water everywhere. Though he's swimming so frantically he can't actually tell if he's winning or not so...]
