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!

[Crona gasps, jumping back and tripping on those heavy skirts and falling completely backward. Oops, the meister's completely underwater. After a few moments, Crona comes up sputtering.

Then, before there's any chance for Aoi to react, Crona splashes Aoi. The meister has absolutely no skill with splashing but there is an attempt to copy Aoi's movements and get something like a wall of water.]

[amphibian]

[When Crona goes down, Aoi lunges forward to haul them up—only to dive straight at the water flung at her.

Her giggles are sputtered as she backs up, but once she regains her balance and her breath, she starts flicking splashes at Crona in rapidfire succession.]

[blackblooded]

[Crona's giggling too now, and doing everything possible to splash massive amounts of water in Aoi's direction. There is officially a water battle going on in the shallow end of the giant pool.]

[amphibian]

[A battle Aoi is determined to win—until her competitive nature gets the better of her and her attempt at leaping into a dramatic splash while getting a face full of water makes her lose her balance, and she slips and flops backwards into the pool.

She springs back up, sputtering and giggling.] You win, you win! I forfeit, haha!

[blackblooded]

[Crona's positively grinning while walking over and pushing Aoi back under. It's not a mean shove, just a firm sort of confirmation that yes, Crona did win.]

[amphibian]

[She yelps far more dramatically than is necessary at the shove, complete with a highly overdone flail backwards. Since the water's shallow enough, she just sits back up instead of standing, grinning.]

Hahaha, all right, all right! I'll get you next time, though, I swear!

[blackblooded]

N-no you won't. I'll get you again next time.
