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!

[ . . . ]


Of course I'm still here, where the hell else would I be?!

[This is a loud splash-oriented outburst]

[etudes]

[ good thing she wouldn't care either way if she was within splash-outbursting range.. ]

You weren't saying anything, so I thought maybe you feel asleep.

[rashness]

Who's sleeping?! I don't even have my eyes closed! What the- Are you even watching?!

[etudes]

I thought maybe Rin-kun suffers from nocturnal lagophthalmos.

[rashness]

What does that even mean?!

[And his tail as well as the rest of his body whips forward, getting closer to her in the water]

[etudes]

[ she seems unfazed by the movement, just calmly and blankly explaining - ]

Nocturnal lagophthalmos is the inability to close the eyelids during sleep. It is often caused by an anomaly of the eyelid that prevents full closure. It may reduce the quality of sleep, cause exposure-related symptoms, or, if severe, cause corneal damage like exposure keratopathy.

[rashness]

[He leans on the pool's edge now, looking up at her... Who does this, sigh]

Look, Kotomi, just go get a swimsuit or somethin.

[etudes]

[ apparently her random ignoring filters turned on this time at the mention of just 'Kotomi'.. so she's just looking around her slowly and blankly, as if she doesn't realise he's there and talking to her. ]

[rashness]

Kotomi...?

[Girl, what even]

[etudes]

[ nope, still completely oblivious. ]

[rashness]

Kotomi?! Kotomi I am like a meter away from you!

[etudes]

[ even if you were right in front of her face she won't notice as long as it's Kotomi and not Kotomi-chan!

... oh, that one deck chair over there is probably really interesting with the way she's staring at it (rather than at Rin).. ]

1/2

[rashness]

[WHAT THE FUCK]

[rashness]

[Okay you know what he's going to vault out of the pull now. Or well, pull himself up with his arms, get up to stand over her and walk right up to in front of her face with a look like this, no shirt (saggy) swim trunks, and his tail going every which way]

[etudes]

[ Her head does move back now, although it seems to be more by coincidence than anything else, since.. even though he's right in front of her there, she's still staring at him blankly as if she's looking through him rather than at him.

No response at all. ]

[rashness]

[And now, yelling in her face] I'm standing right here?! Are you blind and deaf?! Come on, Kotomi!

[etudes]

[ blink.

..... blink.

nope, nothing at all. ]

[rashness]

[WHAT THE FUCK WHY ARE YOU IGNORING ME.

In fact he's going to shake her now. Gripping her shoulders and everything]

[etudes]

[ oh, this does seem to provoke a reaction-- although it's not the kind of reaction anyone would expect, considering she starts shrieking a little now. ]

B-- bully, it's a bully..! [ she seems to completely have missed that it's Rin standing in front of her and not some random person shaking her out of nowhere, yes. ]

[rashness]

No there's not! Look, are you even- Ugh!

[He releases her shoulders, grunting with supreme frustration]

[etudes]

A.. ah, it's Rin-kun..

[ Still shaking, though, even if he let her go. She would go hide behind something but there isn't anything convenient and nearby enough.. ]

W-w-when did Rin-kun become a bully?

[rashness]

I'm not a bully, you're just ignoring me! Why are you doing that?!

[YOU STUPID GIRL. In fact, he yells this right in his face]

[etudes]

W-wah, it's a bully for sure.. Rin-kun got taken over by the bullies..!

[ yes, as long as there's yelling in her face they won't get much further than this, apparently. ]

[rashness]

[ :| In fact he's going to yank her head to look eight at him]

I. Am not. A bully! I'm not a demon! Look at me, dammit!

[etudes]

[ She's pretty much close to crying by now - her eyes are already getting a little teary. ]

B-b-bully, bully, l-l-leave me alone, please..!
