Pool Pool Pool

[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!))

Er...

[Atsuro glances down at his laptop for a moment.]

...Sure! I can... put this back in my bag and bring it along.

[As long as sitting was all that was required.]

Do you think it's a little crowded right now, though?

[all_wound_up]

Oh... it might be. I wouldn't want to be responsible for breaking a second one of your computers.

[otakuro]

Hey, the first one wasn't broken! ...Just the screen. I had it replaced in less than two days.

[Part of the first day had been dedicated to a memorial service for his faithful screen for serving him so long.]

It'll probably be more open by the time we're finished eating -- Looks like the line here's opening up, too.

[all_wound_up]

That's good. I'm glad you were able to get it fixed quickly.

[Nano really does look honestly relieved.]

Oh, you're right! We're almost to the front already.

[otakuro]

What was that you wanted again...?

[And in due time, they have made their purchases, leaving Atsuro's wallet slightly emptier but his belly satisfyingly fuller.]

Go ahead and take some fries if you'd like.

[He heads back towards the table they had come from.]

[all_wound_up]

A slice of pizza and a small soda.

[Nano helps him carry the food back, setting it down.]

It's such a nice day. I'm glad I was able to spend it here with you and everyone.

[otakuro]

Yeah! It's nice to have some time off like this.

[Atsuro's response, though cheerful enough, comes in a slightly vague manner as he seats himself at the table.]

It seems like our leisure activities usually just consist of fighting demons and that kind of thing.

[all_wound_up]

You're right. There's always so many of them... I wonder where they all come from.

[otakuro]

Mars.

[He responds firmly.]

We've probably gone over the topic enough that it's anyone's guess at this point. Outer space is usually a good answer.

[all_wound_up]

Just like in those late night movies, right?

[otakuro]

Exactly!

They're probably trying to harvest our brains to use as rocket fuel or something. Don't worry; they'll die when they get exposed to Earth bacteria.

[Atsuro watches strange movies.]

[all_wound_up]

Or a scientist will invent something to beat them! Or maybe a group of children will make friends with a good demon and team up with it to beat the bad ones.

[otakuro]

...The last one sounds pretty accurate. If we can call Philemon a demon.

[If angels were demons, Philemon totally was, too.]

[all_wound_up]

Then everything will be fine! Those movies always turn out good in the end.

[Though usually after half of Tokyo is destroyed, but let's conveniently gloss over that.]

[otakuro]

Right! Plucky children can't ever lose. It's one of the rules of making movies.

...And I think we definitely qualify.

[all_wound_up]

We just need to keep trying and doing our best, then. You'll keep supporting me, won't you, Atsuro-san?

[otakuro]

Of course. [He gives a smile.] We have to rely on each other if we're going to succeed here.

...Whatever success means in the end, anyway.

[all_wound_up]

I'll fight beside you too, then.

[otakuro]

((Aaand I think this is a good spot to pull away! Thanks for threading!))

[Atsuro laughs softly at his companion's earnestness before giving a nod. They spend the rest of the afternoon in idle chit-chat about nothing important in particular, like normal people can do instead of just talking about demons all the time.]
