It's a Cool Pool Party! [Completed]

Character(s): Everyone! Come on down~
Content: Urd throws a pool party at Jogo da Crianca for everyone to enjoy.
Setting: Jogo da Crianca pool!
Time: Noon until night.
Warnings: Probably none. Maybe blatant fanservice of all the sexy (and not so sexy) characters.

It's been too long since the citizens of Paixao made use of the fairly impressive pool at the park. Like all of the landscaping and architecture of the city, the pool seemed ancient, almost in its appearance, wide and large and full of clear, glittering water. Equally sparkling trees provided shade all around the perimeter and comfortable outdoor chaises (made more comfortable by extra cushions today) and picnic tables dotted the area through out.

For the event, colorful balloons had been created and now floated peacefully in place as if held by an invisible hand. Crepe ribbons were strung from tree to tree and tiki torches, waiting to be lit once the sky started to darken, held their vigil in strategic points around the pool. Two long tables have been spread with snacks made by Belldandy and Genie, so they're sure to be the most delicious cookie/sandwich/chips you've ever had.

Most importantly, in one far corner of the area, a karaoke station has been magically created by Genie. The television is 42 inches, flanked by two 15 inch speakers. Four microphones and stands are available for any party goer to belt their favorites out. To add to the mood, there's even a disco ball above the microphones, hung from the nearest tree!

Don't have a swimsuit? No problem! Urd, Belldandy and probably even Genie will summon up something for you quicker than you can say "sudden public nudity." Be warned, though...each has their own sense of style and may end up dressing your character in something less than dignified.

Unbeknown to any of the guests, a special and invisible barrier has been set into place by Belldandy. This warding field will not allow any Heartless to enter the party, should anyone decide to summon them. Not that they would, though, right? This is a sunny, happy day!

What could go wrong?

OOC Notes: Much like the other large group logs here, this one will work via several small threads that people start in the comments. Everyone is free to jump into someone's thread, provided they don't have a note in their subject line claiming the thread is private (which you're totally allowed to do). Keep in mind that this party was created for characters to develop CR with more people, so don't be afraid to mingle!

"That I do, best coffee shop in the city." Also the only true coffee shop in the city, but he didn't add that part. "Oh really? I can't say I've had the pleasure of going there yet. What do you do?"

Hanekoma grinned at Natalia's offer of possible patronage, and nodding said, "Feel free, I'll be sure to give you a first timer discount."

Her other question, however, was met with a shrug. "Can't rightly say. There's a mayor I think, but some people question if he's or she is really the one in charge."

"The mayor... could you be talking about Timon?" Natalia tilted her head, a bit surprised.

However, at Hanekoma's question, Natalia found herself a bit embarrassed. "Aa... I don't actually know what most of them are. Captain Highwind's been fairly lax even in determining prices. I've been trying to keep track of what we sell and for how much, but it's a bit difficult." She admitted.

"Is that who they got to take the job?" Hanekoma supposed he probably should be paying more attention to the local political scene, but there were just so many other more interesting things and people to observe.

"Oh, well, that sounds like an important job," Sanae replied, interested more than most people probably would be on just what went into keeping an inventory. "I have to do my own inventory myself, maybe you could give me some pointers."

Quina nodded. "Yes!" it said impatiently. "I very hungry!" It then looked behind Urd, trying to see if there was anything that remotely looked
like food. It saw the balloons but Quina tried to eat a balloon once. Needless to say, it did not taste very nice. It had not eaten ribbon before, though. Perhaps that might be nutricious...

Now there was something interesting. He'd almost thought all the others from his world had vanished once again, leaving him alone with no one save Kefka for 'company'. Apparently his luck hadn't gotten quite that bad yet.

"This Terra... she wouldn't happen to have green hair, would she?"

Best to check the details of the deal, after all.

[ooc: I'm assuming she was blonde from her icons, but in any case let whatever Setzer thinks of it be that they're talking about the same person.]

"Yes, and she could also use magic without the aid of materia." Tifa nodded. "Is she a friend of yours, Setzer?" Perhaps they were from the same world, in which case Tifa would have been more than happy to try and reunite them.

"I don't think I'd mind that... I'm not very experienced, but I like keeping things in order." Natalia responded. "We don't get very many customers, but it's nice having something to do, I think. Just sitting around doing nothing is unbearable for me, really."

That certainly sounded like the Terra he knew. At least he wasn't as alone as he'd thought, for however much longer.

"She is," he answered with a smile and a nod. "I'd thought she'd left, to be honest."

Tifa nodded. "I see... if I see her again, I'll be sure to let her know that one of her friends is looking for her." She responded. It made her a bit jealous, really, since she didn't know that any of her friends made it here.

Well, there was something hadn't expected to hear. A nice gesture but he hardly wanted to inconvenience Tifa. Not when he'd only just met her.

"There's no need to go out of your way," he answered with a polite smile. "I'm sure our paths will cross again before the hand's over."

With luck, before Kefka found her.

Laharl was hardly happy looking. He'd had no intentions of ever going to this pool party for various reasons, but someone had decided otherwise. He couldn't exactly let her go alone, so he'd let her, to some extent, drag him along. The Overlord was already regretting it.

Flonne with a microphone was a bad enough thought, but the rest of the scene before him was even more horrifying...

Women. Women with curves. Sexy curves. And all scantily clad!

The young demon pretty well froze up, finally planting his feet to stop himself from behind pulled along and turning his gaze away from the horrifying sight. He could already feel his head going light and his strength weakening.

"NO! N-no it doesn't!" he replied, sounding more than a little uncomfortable with the situation.

Urd didn't like how Quina was looking at the streamers. Not that there was any real variant in its expression, but there was definitely a thoughtful, hungry gleam in its eye. "Say no more!" she said quickly, placing a hand on Quina's shoulders and turning it towards the tables bearing snacks. "Refreshments are right over there. Go ahead and dig in."

Urd smiled softy in response, ducking her head. "Yeah, it's turned out alright. Not a single conflict so far." She turned, hands on her hips, surveying her surroundings. "Not enough people are using the karaoke machine, though...and Genie put so much thought into it."

She suddenly widened her eyes, lightly hitting the palm of her hand with a fist. "Ah! I bet some people don't even know what it is! I should let them know." With a small wave at Belldandy over her shoulder, she quickly moved towards the karaoke station, already distracted by something new.

Glad that her elder sister's mood has lifted considerably, Belldandy more than gladly followed her toward the karaoke station. She noticed a few others using it before, but Urd was probably distracted all things considered. "Why don't we take turns, then?" She asked. She already was itching to sing another song, but she was also a big fan of her sister's singing as well.

“Oh.” Right, he had forgotten about himself. That was smooth. Now he just felt silly. Then again, somehow it felt normal for the goddess of all people to remind him of, well, himself. “I’m equally as excellent, though I’m not too sure about my appetite after seeing Hades in those swim trunks.” The genie made a sour face. “I promise I won’t overwork though. After all, I’m a lifeguard. I just have to sit here all day till the cameras roll and I have to go all Baywatch. Don’t worry, I know CPR!”

Vyers watched Urd walk away before his gaze slid back to Timon. "I assure you, the difference is much greater than that," he muttered under his breath before addressing the meerkat's question. "I suppose I could for awhile," he conceded. "Though I don't see why you could not have gone in yourself if you wanted to swim so much."

At least the water looked inviting. Hm, perhaps this would be a good opportunity to relax after all.

Flonne had, in her excitement, forgotten about Laharl's debilitating and rather off-the-wall weakness. Right then, she just thought he meant the karaoke.

"Well, okay," she changed tactics, "I guess we don't have to sing if you don't want to. We should go swimming instead!" He was resisting. She just tugged harder, heading for the pool.

"Oh! Well, the Doctor isn't actually a doctor... though I'm sure he could manage it. He's a guy who's seen most things in the universe." Except a city like Paixao, because they still didn't know how to get out of the city. Or... people like the Organization, and the Heartless, Lumens...

But he liked not knowing things, right?

"You'd probably get along, actually." She shrugs.

"Many doctors think they've seen most things in the universe," Tanaka replied with something halfway between a grin and a grimace. "I'm sorry. I know what you mean." He paused. "I suppose. It's hard to know how exactly what people mean around here. Are you being actually literal in that?"

"What, literal in meaning that the Doctor would like you?" she asks, brushing back her hair as she looks at him with confusion. "Admittedly, he likes most people. Or at least he tries to. But yes, I'm being literal." She grins lightly. "Presuming that's what you were referring to, 'course."

Tanaka blinked. Ah, he'd been rather vague, hadn't he? "No, I meant--" He paused and thought it over. "Never mind." It didn't really matter, all that much. Not right now, anyway. "I must admit, hearing that there's someone who gets along well with most sounds refreshing, in comparison to a lot I've been meeting." The cheerleader glanced around. "Is he here?"

"Oh...?" Urd murmured, pushing herself away from the lifeguard tower, hair floating behind her as if she were underwater. "CPR? I guess I'll have to pretend I'm drowning." A wicked smile curving her lips, she chuckled. "Don't forget to grab some food at some point. Bell's cookies are the best."

With that, she gave him a flirtatious little wave and floated back down to her guests.

If Laharl thought sexy women in bikinis were bad from several feet away, nothing could have prepared him for Urd suddenly appearing before the two demons, seemingly out of nowhere.

"Oh ho, what's this?" She smiled gently down at them, a predatory gleam in her eye when she glanced at Laharl. "You brought your girlfriend, Laharl? I'm surprised! I didn't know you were so bold." She turned to Flonne, leaning forward and giving the demon a kind smile. "You're Flonne-chan, then? You're even cuter in person!"

The young demon most certainly had not expected Urd to pop out. Well, not at that exact moment anyways, with no warning.

He briefly looked horrified as he promptly pried his hand from Flonne's with a yelp, and backed away more than a few feet. Flushed, annoyed and a little bit nauseous, he wasted no time speaking up.

"I did NOT bring her, and she's NOT my girlfriend, DAMMIT!" Laharl snapped loudly. "And you keep the HELL away from me!"

It was bad enough before, but now... NOW... Ugh... He shouldn't have ever let Flonne drag him from the apartment.

The meerkat made a sour face at the demon. “Go in by myself?” he asked, “You’re kidding, right? I mean, everyone knows it’s not nearly as fun by yourself as it is with another person. I guess ‘everyone’ doesn’t include demons. They’re not nearly as clever as everyone else.” Timon explained, mumbling the last part to himself. “Now quit whining and jump in already. Otherwise everyone’s going to know how big a wimp you are to run from our competition.”
