Twenty-somethings gotta twenty-something
Who: Everyone invited, everyone gatecrashing (technically you're all invited, so...)
Broadcast: Who knows, maybe some drunken texting later on
Action: Iskaulit Pool!
When: 3 July
[It's a party for a narcissistic redhead who likes to be reminded she's alive. Come celebrate! Alternately, come sneak in and steal the food! There's a bar set up for drinks drastically lowered to cost-price or to-be-paid-later-tab, a non-alcoholic punch in case of wandering minors (spike it and Nami will end you) and random snacks.
Oh, and a pool. Which is heated. Kind of important, that part.
Step right up, I'm reliably informed we'll have Thor with his shirt off, take pictures while you can.]

Contrary to her canon she is not in a one piece.You can find her leaning on the bar and talking to people, in random states of glee over any presents, or just being generally friendly while kicking back in the pool.]

Call him boring, but look - he has a great seat for the shirtless super guys, ok]

As one of the regular cooks at The Space Bar; Vash is also enjoying getting to play bartender for a bit!] Really, I'm fine! Enjoy yourself!

...wait, Messer's here!?
Yeah, he is. He's mostly wallflowering, as he is wont to do- sitting by the pool in shorts and a light jacket, perusing a book while he keeps an eye on everything like the world's most studious lifeguard- but with some coaxing he'll probably go swimming, maybe even share in a conversation with someone! He may have been dragged here by Kaname, but that doesn't mean he won't put some effort in.
He's also keeping an eye on Q-Lulu while Kaname is otherwise occupied, trying to coax the little mercat into performing tricks at the edge of the pool.]

Is there a differenceWhatever the reason, Nami approaches him fairly early on with a glass in hand.]Here. It's not alcoholic. [She's not gonna presume.] You didn't strike me much as the partying type!
[Hi, I'm prying.]

I hope you're not too upset at being here. It is nice to spend time with you outside of our normal things.

Soon enough, she's in the pool, swimming around with the striped mercat. It's very possible he will swim into someone or get in their way. Kaname's following right behind, issuing apologies if necessary. Mostly, they're just having fun. Splashing or dunking someone isn't being ruled out, either.]

I tell you you can invite Prompto and you bring me Messer instead. Or are you bringing both?

What's your poison? [He's all smiles and he will be keeping an eye on that non-alcoholic punch. No spiking that with Vash the Stampede on duty!]
~Later~
[Thanks to this thread; Vash will also eventually be wandering around dripping wet. His normally spiky hair drooping down and clinging to his face in random spots. He doesn't care.
Tease him about it and he just might give you a soaking wet hug!
He doesn't seem to mind the fact that he's wet. Happy to chat as if he's bone dry.] Having a good time?

One of those pathetically fake floating shark fins bobs to the surface, chugging away around the pool. As usual, it's pretty low-grade evil, but it might give someone a fright for two seconds and that's good enough for him. ]

He did manage to get board shorts during his looting of Nariba Relia, so he shows up in those and a decent linen shirt. Thor splits his time between hanging out at the bar with a drink in hand, checking out the food, or jumping into the pool for a swim.
And yes, he is taking his shirt off for that last one.]

What, that wasn't timed for when you came up for air or anything.
And that is totally not Katara's laugh quickly muffled as she ducks down under the water and swims away.
But. 1) The splash was not done with waterbending, so dodging could certainly be a thing and
2) She too will have to come up for air sometime... ]

He gets a drink and mills around for a while. Eventually, he parks himself on the edge of the pool and swings his legs through the water. He might even have a go at swimming. Or at least wading through the shallow end.]

Guess who.
[Of course it's Kaname, and there's a telling grin in her tone.]

Catch her in a modest two piece with a short skirt attached to the bottom, diving into the pool. She'll keep the bending to an absolute minimum, not wanting to splash anyone... unless, you know, someone is fool enough to start something in the water with her.
Catch her bending the water off herself as she leaves the pool to drink and mingle in an instinctive gesture that still leaves her hair wet. (She doesn't bend the water off her hair; she tried it once, frizz central, very bad, just wringing it out now.)
She enjoys being social almost as much as she enjoys swimming, so she'll be eager to start up a conversation with folks she knows and doesn't know. ]

Nami approaches Katara soon after she arrives-- after Nami has peered with curiosity at the small box left for her on the table, a puzzled look that shifts into a fond smile as she fishes a pinwheel necklace out of the box. So when she comes to say hello, she holds up a hand to show it dangling against her palm.]
I see you know me a lot better than I thought.
[Pinwheels don't come up very often.]

Especially if Thor is there with his shirt off.And you simply can't go to a pool party without a swimming suit. Luckily, they've been to a water planet before so she had that and some cover up options for when walking around in a bikini feels odd. Like when she's not actually swimming.But she will do some swimming and some sitting by the edge of the pool with her feet in the water. You'll also find her with snacks and a glass of punch.
She isn't drunk this time so Kaname can't see her like this!She's easy enough to strike up a conversation with even if she has no idea who you are.]no subject

After dropping off his gift for Nami (don't get too excited, it's just a fancy chocolate bar with a signed note that says Happy maybe 24th birthday! I will give you something better once I know what you like), he alternates between saying hello to people he knows and lingering by the edge of the pool with his button-up shirt on. It's almost like he's asking to be pushed into the water!
He'll probably make it out of his shirt and into the pool eventually. It might take some convincing.]
