[all_wound_up]

Who: Everyone!
Where: Hinoto-Ri Public Pool
When: The weekend of June 7th-9th
Summary: We have a pool now!  Summer fun for everyone!
Warnings: Probably none.

[It's summer, and what would summer be without a pool?  Well, thankfully for the good citizens and Visitors of Hinoto-Ri, the public pool is finally open for business!  With three different pools, a snack bar, and plenty of space on the grass for playing frisbee or just laying out to get some sun, there's plenty of summertime fun for everyone!  There are also a number of pool toys to use, ranging from basketball hoops and plastic balls, water noodles, boogie boards, and just about anything else you can think of.]

((OOC: Open log!  Everyone just tag around at your leisure!))

Roommate?

[ He isn't going to pry if she doesn't want to elaborate, though. ]

What kind of exploring have you been doing?

[papillonmagique]

Mmhm, I'm living with someone called Judas. You might have seen him, he has dark, wavy hair and tends to look rather gloomy.

And I've just been seeing what kinds of places there are in this city. It's far different than the city I grew up in, and I can't help but be curious.

[shadowsher]

Oh, yeah, I think I've met him... Maybe. [ He pays attention. ]

Found anything interesting?

[papillonmagique]

Hmm... Well, there are these odd drums that can take you to other drums around the city. A very handy way to get around, at least.

[shadowsher]

Drums? So... they teleport you? Teleportation drums?

[papillonmagique]

Exactly! They're like those large, man-sized drums and when I used one, I was able to be taken to another drum in another part of the city.

[shadowsher]

And it's safe? You sure there aren't any strings attached? [Since his teleportation ability has a few risks involved. ]

[papillonmagique]

I'm not completely sure. It seems perfectly safe and such during the day, but I haven't dared to try it during the 13th hour.

[shadowsher]

I meant more... What happens if it malfunctioned? You could stuck between "here and there." [ Don't get stuck, Zoe! He actually likes you! ]

[papillonmagique]

Well, it would be a bad situation to be caught in. But don't worry, I vastly prefer walking around the city, it's good exercise and I won't be using the drums unless I need to get somewhere in a hurry.

[shadowsher]

Okay... G-good. Don't get in trouble...

[ Mumbling because he worries so; ] I'd rather you didn't get stuck.

[papillonmagique]

[Zoe blinks at him, looking surprised for a second, before smiling softly.] Don't worry, I'll make sure to be careful and not get myself stuck.

[shadowsher]

Good. [ He can relax now. ] So, you're at the pool today? Swimming...?

[papillonmagique]

Yes, it's been a while since I've gone swimming, so it was nice to get back into it. I think I'll be doing it more often since the pool is opened for the summer.

And what about you? Do you plan do go swimming?

[shadowsher]

Swimming has never really been my... "thing", I guess. I'm just here to watch. [ Making himself sound a lot more creepy than he intends to be. ]

[papillonmagique]

... You miiiiiight want to rephrase that. [Her grin isn't a nice one, Mikale.]

[shadowsher]

Wh-what? I just don't like swimming! [ Socially inept. ]

[papillonmagique]

[Now she just snickers to herself.] The 'I'm just here to watch' phrase could be taken the wrong way. But don't worry, I know what you mean.

[shadowsher]

Wha- [ Oh. Now he's properly embarrassed. ] No no no! I mean, I'm not even interested in anyone like that! I'd only watch Satou that way! [ And he digs his grave deeper.

And people wonder why he has no friends. ]

[papillonmagique]

[Zoe stop laughing at him, that's mean.] I see, I see! So, Satou is both your friend and the one you like?

[shadowsher]

O-of course! I haven't said otherwise, have I? [ Wait ] How did you figure that out?

[papillonmagique]

You saying 'I'd only watch Satou that way' might have given it away.

[shadowsher]

I said that- [ He may be about to freak out again, but finally some common sense kicks in. Mikale tries to exhale calmly and takes a long sip of his drink. Come on, play it cool. Think of Satou or Vinita. ] ... Yeah, w-well. Point still stands. I'm just here wat--- enjoying the atmosphere. And I wouldn't treat Kitten indecently!

[papillonmagique]

I know you wouldn't. [Just going to keep on smiling, but her tone is genuine instead of teasing now.] But if that's the case, would you mind if I stayed here with you for a while? I'm a bit tired after swimming around the pool a few times.

[shadowsher]

[ He is honestly relieved to have endured more teasing. +1 Mikale. +1 zillion to Zoe, probably. But that's a whole other story. ]

Yeah, sure. I could use the company for a bit... Don't want anyone getting the wrong idea. [ Because now that she's brought it up, he has probably been pretty creepy. Sittin all alone and just... watching strangers. ]
