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!

[DOWN AND DOWN AND ROUND THE BENDS AND SPLOOSH.

By then. Rise would have paddled out of the way (probably because she knows that he might have gone right after her and she doesn't want to be within kicking range) but the wave— that's still pretty damn amazing.]

[Wheeeeeee~ and SPLAAAASH! into the water he goes.

...Though he doesn't seem to be coming up for air anytime soon.]

[Bobbing in the water and waiting for him to surface still...]

[Nope. Not happening.

THOUGH THESE IS SOMETHING NOW TUGGING AT RISE'S LEG UNDERWATER.]

[Hhhh— what the hell?

...slowly looking...down...]

[It's something red in the water. Tugging her leg again! Dun dun duuun!

...Hurry up and react woman, sadly he can't breath underwater--]

[This is not the way you pull people underwater, gee—

...on second thought, he's turning a little blue, isn't he? Or was that purple—]

[.............................................]

[—actually, that's probably not a good thing.

Rise doesn't have any formal training in lifesaving, but what she can do is swim (passably) so she'll dive into the water and attempt to pull him out.

SORRY IF IT TOOK HER A WHILE TO NOTICE. Because really, trying to pull him out from where she was standing— well, she'd sink too.]

[Waaait wait wait why is she swimming down to him, this wasn't meant to happen. He was aiming for her to maybe freak out a little, because hey, mystery thing pulling you from under the water. If she didn't react he would have surfaced a moment later and give up.

And now he's being pulled up-- Aaah. Ah. What if she thought something was wrong and that's why she's acting this way. It doesn't look like she's laughing or anything from what he can tell through the water.

Once his head is above water, Caius takes a deep breath and stares at Rise.]

You didn't need to do that you know. [...] You were meant to shriek or something. [...cough.] The slide was fun?

[She looks mostly terrified for a moment till he breathes— normally.

...........................

And her shoulders hunch in relief. Haaaaaaaah.]

[Welp uh. Maybe he went too far? Or maybe she just totally over-reacted! Yeah!

...This is a little awkward.]

Are you alright?

Don't...do that again.

It was just meant to be a joke. [...] Sorry, Rise.

[...sniff.]

[Fff- How can he fix this.]

We can go down the slide again if you want? That was fun, bet it'll be ever more fun if we go again.

[Sniff.]

Twice.

Three times, how about that?

[Grin?]

Deal.

[There's no more signs of sniffling here. Why, it's almost as if she hadn't wanted to cry at all...?!]

[Oh yeah, he totally fixed everything.

Swimming back to the poolside and hoisting himself out. Gonna be nice and wait for Rise before going back to the slide doodeedoo~]
