It's a Cool Pool Party! [Completed]

[tenshinomakai.livejournal.com]

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!

When the song was ended, Lenne couldn't help but feel that she wished it was longer. But singing like that could easily take an emotional toll on her, and she didn't want to exhaust herself just yet, the party was still just beginning!

She smiled brightly at Tifa, noticing the tear, but knowing better than to say anything directly. She could tell that Tifa was a strong woman who probably didn't express these sorts of emotions in public very often.

"That was beautiful, Tifa," she complimented the other woman sincerely, still smiling widely. A well-written song would always be pretty, but it took a true, sincere emotional connection to make it beautiful and make it real. Tifa brought emotion to the music, and Lenne admired that greatly.

Blushing a bit, Tifa smiled as she thanked Lenne. "Thank you very much, Lenne; I think your presence alone would bring in much business to the restaurant!" She winked, hoping to take some of the attention off of her. "But more than that, I can tell you really do enjoy your craft; I hope to create an environment you're comfortable in, in any case... not as a business owner, but as a fan of yours." She added, making sure that Lenne knew that she considered Lenne as a friend, and not a subordinate.

Lenne laughed, a high, musical sound, one of those laughs that usually could dissolve any tension in a room. Not quite contagious, but it had yet to fail at bringing a smile to those around her.

"I am looking forward to it more and more the longer I spend around you," she told Tifa truthfully. She was really enjoying the idea of a smaller, more personal venue. Not to mention the blessing of working for a friend instead of someone that planned to abuse her talents, as it were.

"I think that you'll do very well in the business here. You sincerely want to make a place people will enjoy returning to. I'm honored to be a part of it," she gushed.

Things were going smoothly; Tifa still had to venture about for a possible location for Paixao's iteration of Seventh Heaven, and find a way to secure supplies, but with Lenne's encouragement Tifa knew she could do it. It would take a bit of work, obviously... but she also needed a project to work on in order to keep her mind off of things such as Cloud and the others. She hadn't met anybody else from Gaia here yet, unfortunately, but she was certain that if she ever met her friends again, she'd want them to see her successful and happy.

Continuing to talk with Lenne, putting business aside for now, she enjoyed the everyday sorts of conversations with her first real friend here in Paixao.
