Splish Splash!!

Who: Hajime + Everyone!
What: Pool Party
When: March 28th 10am onward
Where: Neith’s place
Note: The party Hajime made a network post about. She also went too all the shrines she could find and dropped off flyers for it. So even if someone doesn’t know about it or her, newbies and all, are free to come! Feel free to make your own top levels.




Ten in the morning; everything is set and ready to go! The pool is sparkling, the sun is out and it’s warm. A perfect day for pool party. The doors to the shrine are open and welcoming for anyone to just walk in. Colorful balloons and bright streamers decorate the area along with a big hand painted ‘WELCOME!’ sign. In the pool are various floaties and noodles. Nearby there are two large open ice chests filled with multi-colored water-balloons. A few water guns lay next to the chests along with arm-floaties, life vests and goggles. Just in case!

Around the pool, lounge chairs are set up for anyone to use. Various colorful towels hang off a few. A small hot tub is to the right of the pool, bubbling and inviting.

Away from the pool and by the shaded area are two tables lined up with various food and drink. Paper plates, silverware and cups are on it inviting anyone to take from it. While it’s no Heaven’s Banquet, the host did try to fill it with different food and drink so everyone can find something they like. From pizza and bbq to teriyaki sticks and sweets. Octopus-cut hot dogs can also be found with smiling faces! But there's also some space for people to put their own food, just in case.

In the shaded area by the backdoor is a laptop connected to a pair of decent sized speakers playing music fitting the occasion. Nothing too fancy. Though there is a unplugged microphone nearby perhaps for some kind of singer later on?

I. Refreshments
[Truth be told, Roxas doesn't know what one does at a pool party. But parties in this world come with new and curious foods that he's never been exposed to before. He can't help but find himself curious enough to veer in the direction of the tables to inspect what exactly there is.

One may find him either scrutinizing pizza, not recognizing it in this form because he was given a very different impression of what it should be like in Monad, or apparently giving little a little octopus hot dog a staredown. Definitely new and strange foods today]


II. Poolside
[Judging by the full length black coat, Roxas had no intention of actually going into the pool. The closest he gets is crouching near the edge, watching the water in ponderous silence. Just a short figure on a dark coat looking at the pool, entirely stark still.

Not strange at all, right? He sure doesn't think so, watching an inner tube fashioned after a sea horse drift across the water]


III. Wildcard
[Choose your own adventure! Roxas'll be skulking about somewhere around here]

I. Poolside
[Slaine isn't going anywhere near the water. Instead he's picked a nice shaded spot, tugged a lawn chair to that location, and hunkered down with a book. Ever since Elsa pointed out books relevant to his interests, he's just been finding more, and he's right in the middle of what he considers a fascinating chapter.

This naturally means extremely technical detail about cross-breeding plants in order to cultivate certain traits, if anyone cares to look over his shoulder. Regardless of whether one does or doesn't get a good look at that heavy text, his nose is in that book and he's apparently off in his own little world reading]


II. Refreshments
[Eventually Slaine makes his way over to where the refreshments are arranged. Rather than going for any food in particular, though the sweets draw a lingering glance, he's sifting through one of the coolers and inspecting canned soft drinks. No matter how many labels he looks over he's definitely not familiar with any of them.

A curious thing, that. Something he notes for later consideration, eventually selecting a strawberry-flavored beverage. Unfortunately when he opens it, it sprays everywhere - which is to say, all over him. Well, now his shirt's wet, sticky, and bright pink. Great.

He puffs out a sigh and turns his attention to looking for some napkins]


III. Water Guns
[Although Slaine recognizes a gun when he sees one, he's never seen one made out of plastic, he's rather sure. He turns the toy about thoughtfully, taking in the bright colors and structure with far more consideration than a toy should really warrant.

Once he moves on to the mechanisms that make it work, however... he accidentally fires right at a passerby]


Ah- [He might just be more alarmed than the other party, it's entirely possible] My apologies, let me get you a towel-

I. Food

[The Octo-dogs are adorable, and everything looks good. Ludger's been feeling spoiled when it comes to people having food around. Though it just means that back at where he's living with his god that he has to step it up a notch when it comes to his own food preparation. No need to be shown up by someone else!

So here the silent protag is, taking a little bit of everything. He's always up for listening to others babble at him.]


II. Poolside

[The water looks inviting. But Ludger stands there watching everyone else swim. Something in him tells him that if anyone drowns, he might just have to go in and save them. It's a job, but someone's gotta do it. Right?]

III. Wildcard!

[ A ] Water guns!!!
Sonic doesn't make an obvious entrance. He's got a plan, a goal, so he sneaks his way in and quickly shimmies his way up to the top of the tallest palm tree. It's not the most comfortable sniper-perch he's ever been in, but he's prepared to work with what he's got. And what he's got is a high powered squirt gun that he's brought himself. He's even got a couple spare tanks strapped to his thigh so he doesn't have leave his roost too often.

Now, it's just a matter of picking off unsuspecting targets (namely, other people with squirt guns or water balloons, or people near the pool).

[ B ] Poolside
He has to come down from the trees eventually to refill his tanks. Now that he's not obscured by tree fronds, it's clear that he's not wearing a swimsuit - he's wearing a wet suit with purple sleeves that covers him from his elbows to his knees. Unfortunately, crouching by the pool with one tank in the water means he's completely vulnerable to anyone out for revenge.

Or looking to buy a hit on someone. He's currently taking payment in the form of popsicles.

[ C ] Snack time!
Speaking of food, at some point, he's acquired a pair of sunglasses and a blue Hawaiian shirt, and he parks himself right in front of the teriyaki sticks.

[ D ] CHOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE!

A: Pool Party Entertainment ♪ All about that base, no treble
[Sheryl Nome never says no to a fun party, or a special request from a friend — or both. She did say that she'll perform at Hajime's party, didn't she? And so, a promise made is a promise fulfilled. Although this is nothing compared to the vast stage from Tenkumon Hall, she still feels right at home standing in front of the speakers, a microphone on hand.]

Listen up, everyone! [She lets her voice echo from the microphone, loud and boisterous for all to hear.] We're going to dash off at Macross-speed today! So for now, I order you — all of you — to rise to your feet and dance!

[With the most theatrical flourish of her arm, she whips the microphone's cord in one motion, making a thunderous crack! on the pavement like a whip, the bottom half of her sundress billowing around her.]

Listen to my song!

[What follows is an eight-minute, energy-filled performance featuring two of her hits: "Welcome To My Fanclub's Night" and "What 'bout my star?", complete with the most elaborate choreography. She never misses a beat, having strong control of her vocals even through her dance moves. Sheryl is many things, but an amateur on stage ain't one of them.]

(OOC: Lyrics are here and here! Heads-up: Sheryl's vocal hypnosis is currently in effect, as she's testing her powers on the guests to see if it works beyond the ayakashi. The order is basically "get off your ass and dance to my music" and only lasts eight minutes. This will end once she's done singing! But if you don't want your character affected, then make sure they're at the other side of the pool. That way they can still hear the songs, just not take part in the choreography as they're far away from Sheryl's hypnosis. c:)

B: Food ♩ Cake by the ocean pool
[Food! So many new culinary delights for Sheryl to munch on that she's suddenly grateful for her super high metabolism. Some of these look like they contain hundreds of calories.

But screw it, she won't deny nice things and so, she takes a octopus-cut hot dog with chopsticks, a googly-eyed one staring right back at her...]


Aww, too cute! I'm not sure if I can put this thing in my mouth.

C: Pool Time ♬ Fairy in bikini
[After her performance, it's time for Sheryl to cool down — and strip down to her pink bikini, something that she bought during the shopping trip with Hajime from the other day. Constant exercising and moving around brings about favorable results to her body, and she has no qualms showing it off. It's a pool party and most people will be revealing skin anyway, won't they?

A: Right near the edge of the pool, Sheryl takes two steps back, then runs towards the water with a cheerful yell. A loud splash can be heard, droplets splattering everywhere as she emerges from the surface, all soaking wet but with a happy expression all over her face. If she sees you and knows you? Expect her to smirk at you, then bombard you with splashes.

B: ...But if she doesn't know you, she'll just wave hello and smile innocently like she didn't cause a mess in your direction or anything... but she probably did.

C: No more swimming in the pool for her, as she just climbed out of it, gently wringing out the water from her hair that's clinging to her skin. The cool air hitting her skin, the water, it's refreshing after all that dancing around. No more excessive stickiness! Sheryl approaches the lounge chair and sits on it, reaching for her towel to dry herself off — very slowly, almost meticulously. First she pats the fluffy thing gently on her face, then glides it across both arms, but just as she's about to dry her legs... a pair of eyes are watching her.]

D: Wildcard ♫ Pick your poison
[If none of the above prompts tickle your fancy, feel free to make up a scenario! You can find Sheryl pretty much anywhere in the party.]

[ A | Refreshments ]

[Hajime had said "bring things", so he did! Early on, Ren can be found at the refreshment table, cheerfully arranging a tray of homemade cookies (homemade by someone else, not him) and a tray of mochi ice cream.

In front of the cookies, he's also left a pen and a note that says:

HOMEMADE. VERY GOOD.
Please leave a note if you liked them!
]

[ B | BEACH VOLLEY ]

[So Ren is not really dressed for swimming (although he is, at least, wearing shorts and sandals), because he's...not really planning to. But it's fine for just hanging out around the pool and especially for playing games with other people.

Game the first involves sneaking about with a beach ball and then popping up in front of anyone who looks like they might not be busy with anything right then with a cheerful smile on his face.
]

Let's play beach volleyball!

[ C | Water Guns ]

[Game the second definitely has to involve the water guns. And more "sneaking" around to try to shoot people. Because duh, what else do you do with water guns than turn it into a secret competition.

But he will only be shooting other people with water guns, because that's only fair.

[Wherever Takuto is, he's wearing his totally awesome red swim shorts that have orange flames on them. He's also sporting his giant X-shaped scar on his chest like it's no big deal to look like you've had your heart pulled out in some horrific surgery.]

Come on in!
[He's swimming around like he was born to it, not like he once had to be resuscitated. If you look hesitant about coming in--that creeping towards the water and then looking away like you were thinking about something else entirely the whole time--Takuto will come over and smile to you.]

The water's really nice! See? [And he'll splash you lightly, because he's proving his point?]

Pirate Attack
[Are you floating in the water? Serene and blissfully unaware of your surroundings? Whatever floatie you are using has just been targeted, and Takuto is coming to commandeer. When you hear his shout, it means you're about to be capsized!]

Hraaa!!!

Water Balloons
[He's not exactly guarding the ice chest full of balloons, but he's definitely staying close to it, and if he thinks you're a good target, he'll throw one at you with a laugh and a grin. It's no fun if you don't know who to blame, after all! And he thought ahead--he's already wearing a pair of goggles.]

A. Poolside

[Ayumu's currently lazing on one of the lounge chairs in a newly purchased black swimdress and matching shades. Her hair is damp and loose after an earlier dip in the pool, framing her face and shoulder in tousled waves. A paper plate full of teriyaki sticks and BBQ sits on a small table beside her along with some kind of floofy looking fruit drink.

She's pretty still in her chair. Maybe she's fallen asleep? It's hard to tell with those shades. At any rate, she seems perfectly content to bask in the sun like a cat. Someone seems to be adapting to the goddess life very well.]


B. Hot Tub

[At some point, Ayumu abandons her spot by the pool to try out the hot tub. It reminds her a little of an onsen or the bath at her temple. Regardless, it catches her eye. She can currently be found resting in it, arms draped along the back of it. Once again, it's hard to tell if she's awake or not because she's wearing those shades again. There is, however, plenty of room to join her in the tub, should anyone wish to.]

[Pool]

[Despite her nice new swimsuit, Yuuki looks... displeased. Really, half her face is underwater while she mopes, occasionally blowing bubbles through her mouth.

Booooooo. People hadn't listened to her and went to hell anyway. Boooooooooo.

Come cheer a girl up? She's just standing in the water right now, but given it's Yuuki, it's probably easy enough to coax her into playing - or even a race!
]

[Food]

[Unlike at the parties before, she's just nibbling at a few cookies this time. But she'll actually brighten up when people approach her now that she's shaken off the worst of the gloominess.

Or, at least... now that she's gotten into the swing of Distractions.
]

Hey! Having fun?

Poolside

[Is that really Axel? It might be hard to recognize him for anybody who's used to the six feet of dark hooded coat with dark boots and dark pants tucked into them.

His knee-length shorts are still dark (blue) and so is his T-shirt (black, with just a little bit of the character on his chest visible above the neckline) but that's it. Good thing he's got the distinctively fire-red hair to pick him out by.

He's also really, really pale on all that usually-never-exposed-to-sunlight skin, and he's sprawled out snoring on a lounge chair. A keen eye might notice his arms are already starting to turn red.

A nice person would wake him up and introduce him to the idea of sunscreen.

For a not-so-nice person, this could be the perfect opportunity to run by and completely douse him with a water balloon. Look at that chump just lying there!]

[ Yes, Genos is here. He wish he wasn't, because it's quite out of place to have cyborg around a pool... but since his god insisted. He's standing dangerously close to the pool, gauging intensely the quality of few swimming rings he's holding.

If anyone who met him earlier wondered if it's just his arms that are made of metal, then the question might be answered by just looking at him. Along the tank top, he's wearing shorts, so it's clear his legs are just as artificial as his arms. ]

1: Pool

[ Satoshi isn't necessarily one to wait around for someone to tell him to dive right in. No, actually, he's taken off at a wild run and jumps into the pool, making a big splash for anyone near and around him. He seems just as happy to start playing with anyone as well.

Hope you weren't planning on staying dry! ]

1) Eat at your own risk

[Move over octo-dogs! Time for everyone's favourite snack treat, cookies! Rise's been scouring the internet and books for the best possible recipe out there all day!

...And came up with nothing.

Well not nothing as she trots out the house in a cute pink bikini holding up a large platter of cookies. There's tons of different kinds like chocolate chip, matcha and white chocolate, strawberry flavoured, you name it.

Just be warned that Rise doesn't exactly follow the recipe exactly. She does to an extent for all the necessary ingredients, but definitely has a penchant for adding things in.

Still, she'll approach you with a sweet smile. It's nice to see everyone enjoying themselves here!]


Hey! Glad you could make it. Try one!

2) Poolside

[Are you a wallflower? Do you like standing by the poolside staring at the water, thinking of longingly jumping in but too nervous to do it?

If so, Rise's your girl! All you have to do is stand by the pool looking nervous or lost or whatever have you, and all she'll do is stride up to you, hook your arm and playfully pull you towards the water.]


Come on! You'll feel a lot better once you're in!

[Or if she knows you, she might also just try to push/pull/shove you in there without warning. Have fun with that too.]

C) Show time! Are you ready?

[Living here meant that Rise was fully aware of the audio equipment that was available. She found herself often looking up songs in her room, studying lyrics and some music theory in her spare time, but the opportunity to perform in front of others?

Initially she's thrilled about it! There's something exciting and invigorating about it. It's a chance to feel like she can really do something positive and fun and impressive.

But the moment Rise sets up the equipment, chooses the song and stands up in front of everyone, there's a swell of nervousness inside her.

The music starts and she stalls, seemingly having stage-fright. Will you boo her off stage or encourage her instead? Or even have a little duet with her? That might help too.]


Wildcard!
((Rise will be milling about everywhere from inside the temple to inside the pool, so if nothing tickles your fancy, this works too!))
