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 reclined on one of the chaises by the pool, snapping her journal shut. Well, that took care of that -- now everyone who glanced at the journals today would know what was going down. She smiled in satisfied smugness to herself, popping open the bottle of sake her sister had given her.

She gave a cursory glance to her carefully poised body to make sure she looked the most inviting and poured herself a drink.

Lenne found her way to the pool rather easily, considering. After the darkness had dissipated, her sense of direction had seemed to improve dramatically from even before. However, she was still surprised to find that she was one of the first to arrive. And the woman that caught her eye first was just about enough to cause her to turn right back around and flee as her self-esteem took a dive.

That must be Urd. But no use assuming, might as well introduce herself. She smiled her most cheerful smile and made her way over to the goddess, hands clasped behind her back to keep from toying with her skirt or any other embarrassing nervous behavior. She didn't have a swimsuit here in Paixao, so she was still in her usual Songstress ensemble, and was beginning to feel very over-dressed.

"Hi there, I'm Lenne. I don't believe we've met before...?"

She lowered her cup from her face as Lenne approached. Though the girl thought she was overdressed, Urd was immediately impressed by her sense of style. Flirty and flashy? Wonderful! "Hey there, Lenne," she replied, smile widening in friendly welcome even as her dark purple eyes gave the newcomer a once over. She stood gracefully from the chaise, tossing her hair from her shoulders and stepped closer, head tilted.

"Glad you could make it. We haven't officially met, but I remember seeing you at Genie's golf tournament." She reached out and lifted the filmy, translucent blue fabric of the ruffles and drapes about Lenne's outfit. "I love this outfit!"

"That's right! I knew I'd seen you before, but I wasn't aware of your name then. Glad I have a name to put to a face, now," she rambled, glad she managed to say "face" and not "body", like she had been thinking. She hadn't actually told Lenne her name, but she had very little doubt that this was anyone but Urd.

Lenne laughed embarrassedly and was deeply grateful she managed not to blush at Urd's compliment, it was definitely more than she was expecting. "Thank you!" she responded sincerely. She was quite fond of the outfit herself, which was a blessing considering she didn't exactly have much else to wear in Paixao. She had to fight off the urge to twirl and show how the fabric would swirl around her. It was one of her favorite things about the outfit.

"You're welcome," Urd replied lightly. Absently placing her sake bottle and cup on the nearby table, she raised her eyebrows. "You'd said earlier you didn't have a summer wardrobe. No swimsuit?" Smile turning mischievous, she leaned towards Lenne, winking conspiratorially. "How about we get you into something even cuter? Maybe there'll be some romance in your life today."

Without waiting for an answer, she leaned back, held out a hand with her palm facing Lenne. A puff of smoke surrounded the girl and, when it cleared, her previous outfit had been replaced. She was now wearing a cobalt blue bikini, the top composed mostly of ruffles, accompanied by a sarong made of the same kind of material Urd previously praised. "Ah! Perfect!" Urd exclaimed, smirking.

Her bare feet left the ground and she floated behind Lenne. Placing her hands on her shoulders, she steered the newly outfitted Lenne to the pool to see her reflection in the still waters. "What do you think?

Lenne was opening her mouth to remark that she really wasn't looking for romance at this time, but she was struck dumb by the sudden, smoky magic that surrounded her. When the smoke cleared, she looked down at herself, mouth still open, but now in complete surprise. Oh, it looked lovely! And it was just her style...

She allowed herself to be led to the pool where when she gazed down at herself, she couldn't help but turn from side to side to get the full picture. "Oh, I just love it!" she was grinning widely, and toying with the familiar fabric of the sarong. She turned around to face Urd, completely unfazed by her floating. "Thank you, so much!" she beamed at the goddess in gratitude, unsure of what else to say, or even of her own thoughts.

From the luxury of his tower Genie watched over the pool below. As lifeguard it was his duty to ensure the safety of everyone in and around the pools environs. He took his job very seriously and would not hesitate to blow his whistle on anyone caught violating the rules of the pool. This ranged from merely running to anyone caught peeing in the pool. Though there had been a sign posted regarding pool rules there were always those who chose to ignore it. Not on his watch though… No. The djinn adjusted his aviators. With the eyes of a hawk not one swimmer could expect to go so far as a single stroke without him watching them – at least after he finished applying his sun block.

The genie squeezed out what he could from the bottle in his hand before rubbing the suntan lotion onto his arms. A white streak could be seen on his nose, likely forgotten at this point. He wore a bright red visor and yellow pair of swim trunks. A large red cross could be seen on his white singlet, hopefully making him notable from a fair distance away if needed. When finished applying his sun block he reached into his cooler and opened a soda. Alright, now not one swimmer could expect to go so far as a single stroke without him noticing.

It had been some time since Timon had last gone swimming, a year or two, at the least. In his time Paixao hadn’t offered the opportunity to him often. In fact, it had never offered it. That was why he had immediately forced Vyers to take him after seeing the announcement over the message board, or at least intended to. For once the demon appeared to agree with him and of all things wanted to go. The meerkat wasn’t quite sure why but was not about to argue. If anything Vyers probably just wanted to look at all the pretty girls in skimpy bathing suits. He rolled his eyes at the thought. He didn’t see what was so interesting about them but if the demon spent more time watching them then him he would surely receive a good talking to, audience or not. The redhead would have never invited the Dark Adonis if he didn’t need his protection. Being seen with the man in public made him look so uncool.

Upon arrival the meerkat didn’t know what to do first. The water was perfect and without so much as a single ripple in it which made it all too tempting to jump into. But then there were the comfortable poolside chairs calling out to him, inviting him to lay back, relax and sunbathe. Of course, this was nothing compared to the spread set up for his complete eating convenience. And this was real food, not one of Vyers’ poor attempts at cooking. His mouth watered at the thought. Oh, he would definitely be eating first.

He turned in the direction of the two food tables and was just about to take the first step toward it before a familiar voice came into his head. ‘You shouldn’t eat and then go swimming or you’re going to get a bellyache’. The meerkat frowned. ‘Never go swimming without a buddy’, ‘Don’t talk to strangers’. Timon groaned at his mother’s warnings. ‘And above all, be careful!’. She really had drilled it into him after all those years.

Well, so much for that idea. Maybe if he started walking toward the pool Vyers would follow. Then he wouldn’t have to ask him to be his ‘buddy’.

Vyers usually preferred the more upscale sort of party, any distraction was a welcome one. A shame he didn't have anything to dress with for the occasion. Oh well. There was plenty of food and festivities to partake in and some decent company. And the pool was far more impressive than he had imagined. Quite beautiful, really. And how long had it been since he had last gone swimming? Certainly awhile. And he was much more fond of enjoying the sun's lovely rays.

Hm? Now where was Timon going? Ah, just the pool. Well, far be it for him to stop the meerkat from having his fun. There was a lifeguard on duty and he would be relaxing nearby, would he not? He wouldn't let Timon out of his sight, of course. He had had too many disappearances happen around him to allow any chance of that happening once again.

Now he need only find a nice spot to lay...

Stress and irritation had gotten to Tanaka in the past weeks, built up from too long wondering what exactly he was supposed to be doing around here. He had worked himself into a fit of frustration, second-guessing whether or not anything he was doing was the right thing to do. He had finally had to think very hard about what he would be told if one of his superiors were with him in the city.

At first he thought they'd remind him things like be diligent, be strong, be passionate. Then, the cynical thought crossed through his mind that they'd probably tease him and tell him to take a break, like they often do. Then he realized maybe that would actually be a good idea.

Ouendan were most often caught off guard, anyway. They were never off duty, but they often took opportunity to relax. The party was maybe a sign that he should cool off a bit.

And the young Ouendan had not forgotten his last encounter at the pool. It still made him flush to think of Genie's momentary lapse of fashion sense, so Tanaka had made a point of bringing his own swimsuit this time. There was a cross between feeling awkward, not having so many layers for the first time, and relief; it got hot under that thing, really. A casual observer might have noticed he looked pretty good, too.

"You're welcome," Urd chuckled. "You're a gorgeous girl and should flaunt your stuff. A lot of women would just about kill to look like you." She turned, settling onto the ground again. "Feel free to have some food or sing on the karaoke machine. And, of course, swim." She glanced over her shoulder at Lenne with a small smirk. "The party is sure to pick up soon. Any questions or requests?"

The resident Goddess First Class was playing her part of being the hostess and making sure that the refreshments were all stocked up properly; it wasn't all too difficult considering her powers, but she did certainly seem to be enjoying herself at any rate. However, she noticed that the karaoke machine was open, and gave it some thought... she wanted to enjoy herself, too, and it had been a while since she came to paixao before she was able to partake in one of her favorite activities, singing.

Making her way to the microphone, she had hoped that she wasn't out of practice.

Clicking the necessary buttons, a smile was formed as the music began.

She sang. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTuiEbkXJS0)

Zeroing in on the person who was as well endowed as Lulu, Tidus made his way toward Urd considering she was the hostess of the party. Dressed in black and yellow swim trunks, his athletic build showed unashamed as he had a beach ball tucked under his arm. "Hey, thanks for throwing the party!" he grinned. "Have you been here for very long, Miss Urd?"

After making sure Lenne was settled in, Urd was about to further enjoy the gift from her sister when Tidus appeared. Well, he was certainly good looking, wasn't he? A bit young for her tastes, personally (and she was fairly certain his girlfriend was that sweet little brunette named Yuna), but she could always appreciate a well-built man. "Just Urd is fine, sweetie," she said, absently flipping the long curtain of her hair off her shoulders. "I've been here long enough...you're Tidus, right?" She grinned, gaze lowering to his trunks and beach ball. "I'm looking forward to seeing how you move in the water."

"Hehe, I might be a bit out of practice, but that won't hurt!" He chuckled. At least her attitude was unlike Lulu's. "But yeah, being new and all, this party's a great idea." he quipped, obviously enthusiastic. He didn't have an inkling of a clue that Urd already knew of Yuna, and had certainly hoped that she didn't know about Jecht.

"You are so right," Urd fairly purred, leaning forward and looping her arm through his. "So many of us are strangers here, completely lost. With everything that's been happening lately, a party is just what the doctor ordered." As she spoke, she lead him towards the pool. When they arrived, she smiled sweetly. "I think someone needs to test this water."

Then she pushed him into the pool.

Urd immediately stopped what she was doing, slowly turning her head towards Belldandy at the opposite end of the pool. As if on cue, a strong breeze blew through, perhaps as a playful accompaniment to the goddess that commanded it. In Heaven, Belldandy's singing was always highly praised, often touted as the most beautiful voice around. Such pure and perfect singing always made Urd feel quietly awed and full of pride. Now, as her little sister performed with the same grace and joy as she always did, Urd smiled slightly. At this moment, she'd never been more happy that Belldandy was here...even if it did take her from Keiichi.

She chuckled softly to herself, silently berating herself for her selfishness and turned to focus once more on tending to her guests.

"Whoa, hey's that's cheating!" Tidus whined, once he was able to swim back up for a gasp of air as he laughed. He in turn then splashed a handful of water at the goddess. That was playing dirty! "Let's see how you like it, urd!"

Just who did that woman think she was, anyway? Saying that he wasn't a man of science... He was every inch a scientist! A mad scientist, even! And what was she? What right did she have to criticize him just because he didn't want to go to a party? But if going to that party would shut her up, then fine. Any "high-powered beings," if there really were any around here, would just be a bonus.

And if all he had to do to show this woman up was attend the party? All the better. He thought he'd read something somewhere about what the party was supposed to be, but who had time to remember things like that? There were more important things to focus on!

Although, now that he had actually arrived at the party, Mao quickly realized that maybe he should have paid just a little more attention to what he had read.

For a moment he just stood there gaping. Then... "A... A pool party?!" he exclaimed, horrified. That woman had tricked him after all! No! Absolutely not!

The young Overlord immediately turned around, getting ready to make a swift retreat. He'd get his revenge later. Like hell he was going to stay here!

"Oh no, not you!" a sultry feminine voice sighed. As soon as Mao turned around, Urd was obstructing his path. She seemed annoyed, one hand on her hip and head tilted arrogantly as she looked down her nose at him. She was playing her role quite well, she thought. "What are you doing here? If you think you're going to mess up my party, think again." She pouted slightly, eyes narrowed.

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.

Mao took a step back, having not expected anyone to be there. But as soon as he realized who it was that was standing in his way, surprise gave way to frustration, especially with what she said next.

Again, for a moment, Mao was left speechless. For a moment.

"What the hell's wrong with you?! First you force me here, and now you're acting like I'm not supposed to be here?!" Just what was wrong with her, anyway?!

Although... messing up her party, huh? If only this were another setting.

"Excuse me? Forced you? Did I tie you up, drag your skinny little butt here and threaten your life if you didn't have some damn cookies and socialize?" She leaned down and poked him in the chest. "At most, I suggested you come. Once I discerned you were just a kid pretending to be a scientist, all interest was gone!" She straightened, flipping her hair off her shoulders.

"Just don't talk to anyone, you creepy little monster. You'll freak everyone out!" With a "hmph," she turned and walked past him resolutely. With her back to him, her lips curved into the barest of smiles.

"How is challenging me like that not forcing me to come here?! You don't make any sense!" he shouted. Was she even listening to what she was saying? Did she have some sort if memory problem? And now she had the nerve to talk to him that way? To keep insinuating that he wasn't even a scientist?

"If this wasn't a pool party..." he muttered, clutching the jacket he wore around his shoulders. He couldn't let anyone find out one of his weaknesses, no matter how much vengeance he wanted to take! But if there was some way he could do it without being forced into the water... Who knew how many people were lying in wait to shove him in? It was only to be expected in this setting.

But he couldn't just walk away now. That meant she would win, and there was no way he was going to allow that to happen. He was Dean and Overlord of the Nether Institute, Evil Academy! He wouldn't lose to some woman because of this! If he had to, he'd take down every pusher he could find!

Mao stood tall and threw his hand forward. "I'll freak out whoever I want and I won't take orders from you! Just you wait... I'll make this the most uncomfortable party ever!"

"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?"
