paixaorpg | 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!

Urd chuckled, leaning to one side to avoid the majority of the water. "Water really seems to be your element, kid," she said, smirking. "Why don't you show me what else you can do when you're not splashing beautiful women?" As she spoke, she tossed her hair back, droplets of water sparkling in the air.

"Well..." May as well show his moves. "I'll show you something you've probably never seen before!" The Jecht shot was hard, after all. Spotting a board on the other other of the pool, Tidus threw it at the board, kicked it when it ricocheted back at him, and finally jumped up into the air, performing a back flip-kick at the ball, perfectly aimed at the previous spot.

Wiping some of his hair out of his eyes, he grinned, looking at Urd. "What'd you think of that?"

As Tidus performed his trick shot, Urd gave a low whistle. That was impressive! When he looked back up at her for her reaction, she grinned and applauded. "Very nice! I bet the girls love you, huh?" She lowered herself to the edge of the pool, dipping long, tan legs into the crystalline water. "Is that part of playing Blitzball? The tricks, I mean."

Tidus took a bow, almost blushing, but being modest wasn't something he was good at. Yet another thing he inherited from his father. "Well, they certainly help, but they're not the only thing that'll net you a cup!" he responded, taking in an eyeful of Urd's legs.

She leaned forward, resting her arms on the top of her thighs, smiling. "Oh? What will, then? How long have you been playing this sport anyway?" She was genuinely interested, having never heard of the sport before. Being in Paixao was opening her up to all kinds of new experiences, apparently.

"I've been playing for about ten years." That sounded about right; before he disappeared his old man wouldn't let him do much with a ball since... he thought it was an exercise in futility. Ha, showed him up with that. "But when you play, you play to win! Teamwork doesn't hurt, either!" he grinned once more. He couldn't help it; blitzball was his passion.

"Ten years?" Urd echoed, surprised. "No offense, but you barely look old enough to drink. Are you saying you've been playing since you were a child?" It wasn't that odd, though. She knew from experience the benefit of having been raised for a particular skill set. Still, this boy, while certainly charming and full of life, didn't really seem to have the focus or drive to stick to something without something pushing him.

Well, he was practically eighteen. Not that Spira or Zanarkand had any real laws against drinking, but he grinned. "I'm old enough to." He said, since it made sense to him. But ever since his old man disappeared, and his mom went into a fit of depression, he had to do something to keep himself busy. "But everybody has something they're good at! Though you look like you have several of those somethings. I showed you a trick; wanna show me one of yours?"

Urd chuckled, reaching up brush her hair off her shoulders. "I'm good at a few things, I suppose." Eyes glimmering with the promise of further entertainment, she slipped into the pool with easy grace, the metallic pattern of her bikini flashing in the light. Though water was not remotely her element, a little manipulation via physical means shouldn't be too hard. She considered for a brief moment then smiled. Blowing a kiss to Tidus, she suddenly appeared to explode into smoke.

Out of the mist, several miniature versions of Urd flew out. The danced along the water around Tidus, splashing him in choreographed unison. The grace and clockwork-like movements ended fairly quickly, though, as more than a few Mini Urds crashed into each other. All around the pool, several puffs of smoke exploded at the Mini Urds disappeared.

There was a second or two of silence and a full-sized Urd rose from the water a few feet away, clearly embarrassed. "Ah ha...I, uh, haven't really practiced that particular maneuver often."

"... wow!" Tidus shielded himself from the splashing, and was rather amazed at Urd's party trick. That was awesome! "You could be an entire blitzball team by yourself!" Sure, it was a bit odd, but hey, this was a strange world and Urd seemed really powerful.

Urd laughed, hands on her hips. "Well, that's only if the rest of the game was scaled down as well!" Lifting her hand to push her hair from her face, she cast him a sly look under her lashes. "So does your girlfriend know how to play as well? What was her name...Yuna, right?"
