[Day 229] [Voice|Closed|Action|Open] WATER BALLOON FIGHT
[It is a hot day. Sweltering and humid and for many it could feel pretty icky. It is around noon when a unfamiliar and obviously modified voice comes over the network. It sounds a little robotic, too high to be normal, but also manic, in a good way. Excited, amused.]

Anyone really fed up with the heat yet? I know I am. So here's your Declaration of War on Humidity. Park your butt on the number four and you'll get yourself a nice splash of color to cool you down.

[There is silence for some time, enough that one might even think that he disconnected. Then it comes back with a laugh.] Or you could just come over to Quatro Park and join in on the fun. [Then there is a disconnect. Someone could try to ask a question, but no responses will be given.]

---------------

[Anyone who is Sector 4 and wanders towards Qautro Park might notice that there is large bucket sitting right at the entrance. Look inside and you will see that it is filled to the brim with balloons. Water balloons.

And there are more buckets like this. Scattered all over the park, beside a bench, behind a bush, right in the open in the center of a copse of trees. They are everywhere. All of them full of balloons.

And if you don't look out you might just be hit with one of them. Oh, what's all that red covering your hair and your shirt? Whoops guess these balloons are full of colored water. It might wash out at the end of the day, but be careful now or you could end up looking like a soaked rainbow.

Do you turn back and try to escape? Are you trapped there as a victim of water balloon warfare? Or will you grab a balloon yourself and go looking for whoever just threw one at you?]

{OOC: Water balloon fight! Richie spent the morning putting it together so it's forward-dated to noon and later. Two robots will be there making up more balloons as the day goes so they won't run out for a while and another is hiding in the park to throw balloons at random passersby. The coloring in the water is completely safe and washes out with soap from clothes, skin, and hair. Not that characters will know that at first. Have your characters wander in, get dragged by a friend, become an accidental casualty, anything you want! Mingle away the heat!}

	[He leans on her, pouting.] Nuh-uh. You lie. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Would I lie about something that important? [Her sing-song tone is caused by the liquor but despite that, she's entirely truthful and so she seriouses right up immediately after.] I wouldn't, you know. You're my favorite person in the whole dome. You might even be as important to me as Kira. [Which is stupidly high praise.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Sougo lets out a long sigh.] Girls are sooo stressful. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She can't help but laugh.] And men are sooo indecisive. [The tone sounds strange on Lacus, but she had to mimic his.] I thought you wanted to be the most important person. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[He lifts up his arm, a little wobbly. He doesn't do very well with the whole alcohol thing. He then holds up a finger and tries his hardest to speak in a coherent manner.]

How could anyone feel like an important person when the person who thinks they're the most important is mackin' on some other guy? That's kinda like... [He crashes his hands together and imitates the sound of KABOOM! Drunken kaboom.]

[Honestly, it doesn't occur to Lacus that her relationship or whatever it is with Tyki could possibly prevent her from having people more important to her. But evidently...]

[She shrugs and sips her sake.] If you want to get a license with me, you should ask properly.

[How much of that is the alcohol talking? Some. Maybe most. It might be more if she didn't feel like she would be somehow cheating him because Kira so recently left, and she wasn't over Neil entirely even then.]

	[He looks a little frustrated, and rubs his face.] That's not what I mean. [He lies his head down on the table, tracing circles with a finger.] It pisses me off that you would even say that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fields_of_hope 2013-08-06 04:04 pm UTC (link)
	[She has to try very hard not to laugh at his sulking.] Then you should say what you mean. It's nothing to be upset over. [Her attitudes about sex: extraordinarily casual. Which is how she can be with Tyki in the first place. Sorry!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sadistfaction 2013-08-06 04:21 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah it is, when you're talking like I'm some guy like Tyki who only wants that kind of shit. [He huffs!] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Lacus starts counting off on her fingers. It takes a few seconds.] I believe you made four or five assumptions in that one sentence.

I don't consider you to be anything like Tyki. [Except in how they both sulk like infants when they don't get what they want.] He is a source of comfort; perhaps not the wisest choice, but a quirk of this place decided for me. And needing comfort or not, I would never be with someone who only wanted that from me. [Tyki would claim that's all there is to it, but she knows better.]

Tyki is a mistake, but people have made worse mistakes out of grief. You would not be a mistake. Surely you must know that. I spoke casually because you did, and I presumed it wasn't meant seriously on either part.

[She can really pull it together for a half-drunk girl. Welcome to having a stupidly advanced brain.]

	[Sougo sits up, looking to pour anything left from the bottle.] Ugh, never mind. Forget anything I said. Bitches gotta overcomplicate everything. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fields_of_hope 2013-08-06 06:18 pm UTC (link)
	It doesn't make sense to complain that people don't understand you when you refuse to explain yourself. [She orders another bottle and then adds a sharp tone to her voice.] And I don't much care to be called that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sadistfaction 2013-08-06 06:52 pm UTC (link)
	Fine. I'll stop talking about it, then. This is pissing me off anyway. [He sips his sake.] Drink and be merry, is what they say. Can't stand those people. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fields_of_hope 2013-08-06 06:55 pm UTC (link)
	[She'll take that as more or less an apology, because she's an eternal optimist and knows Sougo would want to save face even if he had realized he went a bit far.] And what do you say? Just drink? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sadistfaction 2013-08-06 07:59 pm UTC (link)
	I guess. [He puts his drink down.] Hm, maybe more like drink and get trashed til you pass out. If I pass out, I give you permission to leave me here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fields_of_hope 2013-08-06 08:49 pm UTC (link)
	I intend to. [She smiles oh so sweetly.] You'd probably throw a tantrum if I tried to carry you home. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sadistfaction 2013-08-06 09:29 pm UTC (link)
	[She's exactly right, but Sougo wasn't about to admit to that, despite knowing how true it is!] Mostly I don't need you to make me look like some kind of damsel in distress. I have a reputation to maintain, you know? I can't have it tarnished or my life will be ruined. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fields_of_hope 2013-08-06 09:43 pm UTC (link)
	Oh yes, we couldn't have that. [She's overly serious now, and yes it's a little mocking.] It's a much manlier image to be passed out on the table in a puddle of drool. I'll even take pictures for posterity. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sadistfaction 2013-08-06 09:48 pm UTC (link)
	[He nods.] Exactly. If you take pictures, it'll be a big help. [He holds up a finger.] Proof that I know how to have a good time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fields_of_hope 2013-08-06 09:51 pm UTC (link)
	[She's so hanging those pictures on the bathroom mirror.] You can count on me. Would you like some discarded bras in the picture? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sadistfaction 2013-08-06 10:29 pm UTC (link)
	[Bras huh. A good question.] Sure. Bras are fine if you wanna go that extra mile. [He lies his head on the table lazily, a hint of a smirk on his face.] Especially if they're one of yours. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fields_of_hope 2013-08-06 10:37 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, then you'll have to narrow down at least a color. I have quite a collection. [Her index finger taps her chin.] You seem like one to pick black or red, to me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sadistfaction 2013-08-06 10:45 pm UTC (link)
	Right on the nose. [He nods!] Either color would be fine. They're the colors of hot and sexy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fields_of_hope 2013-08-06 10:50 pm UTC (link)
	One of each, then. I'll hang one from your head and I'll tangle the other around your hand. People will speculate for hours about what you were doing when you fell over onto the table. [Forget the bathroom mirror, she should broadcast it, laughing all the while.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sadistfaction 2013-08-06 11:04 pm UTC (link)
	That's good. [A beat.] You know what else is good? If we take home the bottle you ordered. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
