THE POOL'S HEEEEEERE!

[—is what everyone is going to hear as Aoi sprints across the Bastion. She flings her sweatshirt off, leaves it on the ground as she goes, and launches herself through the doors of the new building not far from the forge.

Anyone nearby will hear a resounding SPLASH through the doors, left wide open, as Aoi cannonballs into the deep end of the pool, shorts and tank top and all.

If anyone checks in on her, she's swimming rapid laps from one end of the pool to the other down the middle of the center lane, pausing at the ends every now and again to laugh, absolutely delighted, and wave at anyone who's shown up.
] C'mon in, the water's fine!

[This bird has totally raced people before, nothing weird about it. Maybe it hasn't raced them in water, but same thing, right? It is completely confident in its ability to win, although that's probably overconfidence. It's much faster running than actually swimming.

Once Aoi is in position, it leans its neck forward and gives a loud WARK as it takes off.]

[And a few seconds later, the chocobo taps its beak into the wall. It lost? What?]

Kweh...

[It's about then that Roxas pokes his head into the building, having heard warking from this direction. Yep, there is one wayward bird down there. In the pool.]

Um... Is it okay for him to be in there?
coolerthansora: (eheh)

[personal profile] coolerthansora 2014-06-20 05:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yesss, head-scritches. The chocobo coos appreciatively. Ignore Roxas, this is more important.]

Yeah, I've been looking after him.

[Roxas comes to crouch down by the edge of the pool.]

I think he's like a water-type chocobo, or something.

Isa.

And- he's been good at swimming ever since we introduced him to the bathtub. He's got kind of an ego about it, too.

[Isa gives a short wark. He's not sure what Roxas is saying about him but he knows it's about him.]
coolerthansora: (heh)

[Isa coos again and leans into those scritches; judging by her reaction he had an excellent introduction.

Roxas just watches with a smile. That bird really doesn't need his ego fed, but... oh well.]


Competition?

[personal profile] coolerthansora 2014-07-01 03:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Heh. Yeah, they seem to like racing.
coolerthansora: (heh)

[personal profile] coolerthansora 2014-07-18 01:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Me? Sure, I can swim. I'm- basically an islander at heart.

[Roxas no.]
coolerthansora: (eheh)

[personal profile] coolerthansora 2014-07-19 08:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah- well, okay.

[She has a point. Roxas tugs his sneakers off and drops into the pool in the rest of his clothes. Isa promptly swims over to give him a light headbutt.]
coolerthansora: (what are you doing down there?)

[personal profile] coolerthansora 2014-07-20 03:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[Aoi might notice that the water does basically NOTHING to that hair of his.]

It- smells different from the ocean, though.
coolerthansora: (interested)

[personal profile] coolerthansora 2014-08-11 01:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[Roxas doesn't know this is a weird hair thing. Can't everyone's hair defy water and gravity? He leans back, swimming leisurely away from the wall.]

What's chlorinated?
coolerthansora: (clueless)

[personal profile] coolerthansora 2014-08-14 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh...

Germs are what make you sick, right?
coolerthansora: (hadn't thought of that)

[personal profile] coolerthansora 2014-08-17 11:17 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I just- um... Never had to ask about it.
