OPEN TO EVERYONE: Summer Gala

[bowdown]

Characters: Everyone!
Location: By the Park swimming pool
Rating: G to PG (any higher rating, please make a private log)
Time: 20th June (FORWARDED DATE)
Notes: Go ahead and add links as you please under the main threads. If there is anything you need or I forgot, contact me and I will add!

Tonight, the park is full of life. Lights show the way towards the swimming pool, where you can find large white tents set up, all connected to each other. Music, loud chatter and laugher come from them, and inside you may find Guests and Natives enjoying the night together, a rare sight after recent events happening in the City. But tonight, all of that is to be forgotten. Maybe.

Welcome to the Summer Gala.

Feel free to leave your coat by the Coat room, listening to music (some songs are even played by Guests such as Karina, Shinji, Nanami, Hamel and John), dance together (don’t forget the Partner’s dance!), enjoy good food and good drinks, and perhaps after take a stroll by the swimming pool and the park.

But please, don’t forget to thank your hosts, Keroro’s and Eve’s Metokkori R and Hikan Café, and thank Cupid, Lily’s Yesterday's Magic, Hyoubu’s World’s End, Condesce’s Betty Crocker Bakery and the Watch for all their help. And if there is any disaster with your clothing and hair tonight, look for Kanaya and she will give you a hand!

Comments

[hedgehogsdilemma]

It takes a few moments for his senses to stop... well, swimming, as it were. He's aware that the two of them seemed to be trying to comfort him, but he doesn't quite pick up on what they're saying right away. He wants to tell them that he's fine. Well, not injured in any way that he can tell, at least. That's unfortunately pretty difficult to do when he can't stop coughing up water. You don't get drowned nearly daily in breathable liquid for over half a year without skewing your body's natural reaction against breathing in liquid, though the thought doesn't make him feel any less stupid for doing it.

"... -fine, I'm... I'm fine," he manages to finally squeak out between gasping breaths and coughs.

[tauborn]

Takuto continues patting Shinji's back in a comforting way and then stands. "I'll be right back." And before Sugata can protest, he shoots a pointed look at his friend's cast. "I can carry more towels. Just don't let him fall back in."

And without further ado, he jogs off in search of some towels.

[peacocked]

"Last I checked towels weren't made out of bricks." But he's sure that comment falls on deaf ears. He sighs and then turns his attention to the other teen in front of him.

"Let me know if this hurts." Thankfully he has an idea with what he's doing! Loads of people almost fall victim to drowning back home. Especially those who aren't native to the island. And so with that he starts to (gently) hit his palm over a certain spot on Shinji's back. He's hoping it either alleviates some of the pain or causes the other to cough up more water.

[hedgehogsdilemma]

He's more than willing to give Sugata the benefit of the doubt that he knows what he's doing, so there's no protest from Shinji, not that he'd be able to voice one very well in his current state.

He finally felt his breathing calm down a little bit once his lungs were clear, or at least mostly clear, of water, and he draws a few long, shaky breaths to try and steady his nerves a little bit. It... doesn't really help a whole lot, but he does manage to utter a small, "Th-.... thanks."

[tauborn]

Takuto returns a moment later with three fluffy towels.

"Well, at least you didn't have to suffer CPR from either of us," Takuto chirps, trying to lighten the mood. Not that most people would consider mouth-to-mouth from either Sugata or Takuto a bad thing, but a little bit of self-depreciating humor can't hurt. He crouches down, spreading one towel across Shinji's shoulders and then holding out another to him. "Here. You'll feel better once you dry off a little."

[peacocked]

Sugata can't help but roll his eyes a little at the remark. As soon as he was finished with patting the other teen's back, he stops.

"Of course. I'm sorry for bumping you into the pool."

[hedgehogsdilemma]

Takuto's light-hearted remark didn't make much of an effect on Shinji, either, though he accepts the towel offered to him. He takes a moment to dry off his face and run the towel over his hair a tiny bit before responding to Sugata.

"It's alright..." He means it in an, 'I'm fine' sort of way, but it sort of comes out more like he was okay with nearly sinking in the pool. Good job Shinji. "It's not like you did it on purpose."

[tauborn]

Takuto snorts a little. "I should hope not." Under different circumstances, he might have joked about how he's not a meister either of them should fight over, but his recent mission with Sugata is still a little bit too fresh in his mind.

"Do you need anything else, Shinji?" Because he might go to the restroom and use the hand driers to dry off his sleeves if you just need a moment.
