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!

[ 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..!

[rashness]

I'm not a bully!!

[but as he says this, his temper flares more - his eyes turn into cat like things]

[etudes]

[ She probably actually does notice the cat eyes, but it just makes her even more scared rather than anything else. She shakes her head to herself so badly that she even manages to free herself, at least enough to stumble one step back before just downright falling down on her butt on the floor. ]

[rashness]

[And he just breaths heavy, his temper subsiding a bit, but he's still "seeing red" - his eyes return to normal, but he's standing over her with this expression for a moment as he tries to reign in his temper]

[etudes]

[ She's still sitting there, even though it's on the ground, but she moves to cover her face with her hands, just slightly shakey, while whimpering as if she's trying to either hide from him or protect herself. ]

[rashness]

[Breathe... breath...e Okay. He hisses to himself before leaning over her to offer her a hand up. Probably making a huge scene where people are staring at them now if they weren't when he was yelling. His cheeks are flushed too. Dammit]

[etudes]

[ Good luck with that, Rin-- but okay, after a few moments she does slooowly peek out from behind her hands, but part of her still looks positively frightened, not moving from her position on the ground nor grabbing his hand. ]

... I-is Rin-kun still a b-bully..?

1/2

[rashness]

I'm not a-!

2/2

[rashness]

[No. Breathe, don't yell. Calm down.]

Not. A bully. Don't just accuse people of shit like that.

[etudes]

B-but.. you were being scary, so I thought Rin-kun was trying to bully me..

[ she's still a little shaky. ]

[rashness]

Kotomi, I'm not that- [The hand remains, and he's trying to get her up to her feet. That's his goal] I'm a bully who bullies bullies.

[etudes]

Then.. why were you bullying me..? I'm not a bully, right..?

[ still staring - apparently she wants some confirmation on this at least before she decides to grab it. ]

1/2

[rashness]

I wasn't-! [NO. BREATHE]

2/2

[rashness]

-No. No you're not.

...Sorry.

[Fine, then he won't offer a hand. He retracts it, going to stand so he can walk away]

[etudes]

[ Well, at least he said sorry, so.. maybe he's not a bully after all..? Even if she still seems just a little awkward - it's difficult to tell with her usual near-emotionless-like outward state - she stands up too. ]

... Then.. Rin-kun is not a bully either.. I guess.

[rashness]

Course I'm not.

[But he's also grumbling, and now making the flee with this tail between his legs. Some people are already staring. He knows this song and dance. There's no way he's sticking around]

[etudes]

[ and she'll just stand there still and quietly, watching him leave. ]
