I know who will want to take me home

Who: Rin, Shiemi, and whoever wants to show up for it...!
What: A pool party! With barbecue.
When: Friday during the day (so I'm late sue me)
Where: The pool behind House 15 and House 16!!
Summary: Rin called out anyone who wanted to Party, Pool, Eat Barbecue, and possibly even become one of his and Shiemi's roommates here and now it's several days later, where it's actually happening.
Rating: Friendship Is Magic

[ It's a pool party! Which means, of course, that the backyard and the small-ish pool here is dedicated to it. It was hand-dug originally and then later fixed up and reinforced a bit more, but overall the thing still isn't professionally made or anything. But it is big enough to hold maybe a dozenish people in it comfortably and at it's deepest it's probably less than nine feet deep. But it's still a pool! And later on there'll probably ba a volleyball net set up in it for pool volleyball.

And there's lawn chairs set up along side of it and a river basin not that far from it either if that's more your speed.

Either way, pool, sun, and Rin's working hard on grilling to let people have such classic as grilled corn, hot dogs, burgers, and other grilled things you might expect. and probably some actual barbecue stuff. So enjoy the pool, enjoy the party, or enjoy the food. Or enjoy all of the above! (there will only be one sub-comment on this log, which is for people who wanted to tour inside of the house to fulfill the new roommate proposal]

[ this is where Rin and/or Shiemi shows you the inside of the house. It's this style house with Rin and shiemi in one bedroom each thus far. By far the stand out though is the main room, which has a lot of heated lamps to maintain a veritable garden of various plants, including a large thorn bush Skarmy sleeps in. There is also something like this couch in the center of it.

Enjoy ]

[And now for Rin's personal reply! He's in swimshorts! but he's also in an apron! This is because he's grilling things. Do you have requests? Do you want to get some of them? Both? Want to swim? There's that too

maybe this is lazy. Maybe]

[Ikki hates his life. Or at least the party. He can't help but feel all uncomfortable here, he doesn't belong to parties, and it has been honestly a long time since he tried to go to any type of huge gathering. What is he doing here anyway? What was Selphie thinking in dragging him there? Not only parties aren't his thing, he really isn't yet in the mood to even force himself for it.

He ends hovering to where Rin is because, well, Rin is a big part on why Ikki didn't just shrug off Selphie and run to the mountains or somewhere to ~~hide~~ meditate until the party thing passed. Saying no to Selphie is a pain and something he prefers to do only when it's imperative, still he could have said it this time had it not been something Rin was organizing. It's stupid, but Ikki has the feeling that it would be "nice" for him to at least be there for five minutes to greet the other while he works on the party. Regardless of if it's appreciated or not, because Ikki will die before he assumes anyone is happy to see him around unless it's to help in a fight.]

"License to grill". Do you have actual documents to back up that apron's claim?

[Deadpan tone, because a simple "Hey Rin, how is it going?" is impossible for him.]

I could probably write something for it, you know.

[There we go. Hah, sick replies. He's managing it]

And how much legal validity would that have, exactly?

[As if anything has any legal validity in Luceti.]

Well, probably.

[ . . .]

Hn.

[S I L E N C E.]

Want some help with that or something? It's no good to lump you and that girl with all the... Party work.

[ There is a lawn chair on the House 16 side of the backyard with one Ororo Munroe lounging atop it. Because she is in good spirits today, the sun is shining and there isn't a single cloud in the sky. Perfect pool party weather! It would be nice to take a dip, but as it is she's just enjoying the sun. Come say hello!

Later she does make an effort to mingle - or at least say hello to Rin and/or Shiemi and thank them for hosting a nice little party! She passes on the grilled things, but she does bring around a glass of whatever chilled beverage they had going around. ]

Man, we decided to throw it. Plus the only real work's getting this food cooked, and it's just grilling.

[...] You grill?

[Ikki nods.]

You did, but you also decided on it to get to know people and maybe show the house to those interested in moving here. If you two are stuck doing all the party work, showing the house and getting to know candidates is going to be difficult for you.

And yes I grill, I don't have a license though.

Oh, well... I guess that's pretty true, isn't it?

[...] Wanna handle these burgers?

Edited 2013-09-01 23:16 (UTC)

Sure.

[And he moves to do so, it has been a while since he grilled anything but making food isn't something he would forget easily.]

Any indications about how they must be done? Medium?

[Kurt just kept on hearing about this pool all summer. And specifically, Rin's fears regarding his fur and it. But he used the pool at the mansion all the time without any complaints. So when the time for the party comes, he enters with a splash.

He bamfs above the pool, clad only in swimming shorts and cannonballing straight into the water.]

CANNONBALL!

[He goes into the water - and he needs it. Something like this. To help him deal with the break-up. He's wearing some colorful swimming trunks, but his insecurities are up - so the image inducer is on. Luckily it's waterproof.

He eventually gets out to dry off and enjoy the food. Might as well try to enjoy this last bit of summer.]

[Having heard about the pool party, Wanda decides that she's going to be brave, and actually attempt to be social. Plus, y'know-- there's a pool there. And how is that not awesome? Having scoured the shops for something appropriate to wear, she arrives wearing a two piece red swimsuit with a large men's dress shirt on over top of it. Her legs are still scratched to shit from her battle with the trees, but well on their way to healing. They look like she went wading through a pit of angry cats.

She feels generally awkward showing up at someone's house dressed like this, and with no gift to give to the host, but she's really not sure on protocol here. She just wants to try. Recognizing Rin from their previous encounter, she heads his way, grateful to know someone here, and hoping her remembers her.]

Hey... Long time no see.

[She was in the pool when Kurt did his canon ball. The large splash gets her, and Shiemi yelps. However she's not a complete doormat!

When Kurt surfaces she cups her hands, and throws water at him. Counter attack!]

[When Ororo goes around to mingle Shiemi will be sitting outside the pool next to her giant bird of six feet. She'll also be stuffing her face with a grilled hot dog. Something she has only eaten since coming to Luceti. Do excuse her while she stuffs her face like a shounen hero.

Shiemi will wave as a greeting, though!]

I've been going with like a 9:1 ratio on medium to well done. More raw stuff would be by request, or at least that's how I've been doing it.

[he gets out of the way, his tail curling behind him]

Hey-?

[And at this, Rin turns to see who is greeting him properly. His tail curls a little and-]

[-oh wow, she's pretty hot-]

[No, no, reign it in.

He nods and-] Y..yeah, it's been a while. You're uh- Wanda, right?

Yeah. [She smiles and nods, pulling at her sleeves slightly.] And you're-- Rin? ... I heard you were having a, ah, pool party. So... I thought I'd drop by...? [If that's alright?]

Oh... uh. Good! 'M glad you made it. [And he gestures at the pool and then his house and then finally at the grill]

Do you want anything? Or, maybe you wanna see the house?

Oh! Um, I'd take a burger, if you're... taking requests. Mm... the corn smells nice too. ... It's really nice of you have a-- gathering like this. ... Good weather for it, too.

[It appears that while Selphie was setting down all the sweets she'd managed to procure on the table, Ikki seems to have started a conversation with Rin about something or other. She wanders over to them in a floral print sundress with a simple bathing suit on underneath.]

Oh mighty masters of the grill, any chance a gal can partake in a burger?

[This is Selphie.

This is Selphie in a very colourful swimsuit lounging in an inner tube in the pool enjoying the atmosphere.

Come say hello?]
