Twenty-somethings gotta twenty-something

[mikangirl]

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.]

[He's gotten a few requests for daiquiris today so Nami is in luck.] I can make strawberry, watermelon, or a lime flavour one. Which would you like? Strawberry has been the most popular today!

[mikangirl]

[Oh, excellent. In that case:]

Lime, please! Let me test your drink-making skills.

One lime daiquiri coming right up! [Vash grins and starts throwing the ingredients into a blender. Ice, rum, a squeeze of lime, and he even puts in a bit of sugar into the mix along with a few other little bits here and there to give it his own spin.

As it finishes blending Vash tries to do a bit of a glass toss before pouring the mixture he's just made. Only he misses and instead yelps as he tries to catch it before it falls to the ground.] AH! Wait! Come back!

[Vash vanishes completely behind the bar for a moment or two and then suddenly pops back up with a perfectly poured lime daiquiri, complete with a slice of lime on the side, but more than that there's a small colorfully wrapped box being slid over with the drink.]

Happy birthday.

[Oh my god Vash why]

[mikangirl]

[Though the resurface with a perfect daiquiri is a complete surprise, even for him. She blinks at him a moment, then grins slowly.]

You've been holding out on me.

[But also, box. Gimme.]

[goldenglasses]

What can I say? I actually have really good hand eye coordination! [The box is slid over so she can easily take it.] I'm not sure you'll like it, but I hope you do.

[Inside the box is a piece a jewelry. A small glass dome that's filled with small seashells on a silver necklace. They're actually ones that he's picked up on some of the beaches that they've visited.]

I thought you might like to keep a piece of the ocean with you even when we're between planets.

[mikangirl]

[Aw, Vash. This is really cute. She holds it up and gives it a small shake.]

That's amazing. Thank you.

[She's amassing the most amazing jewellery collection.]

[goldenglasses]

Really? You like it? I'm glad. I admit, I was a little worried it was a bit silly.

[mikangirl]

There is nothing silly about the ocean. [And she appreciates the gifts that relate to it a lot.]

[goldenglasses]

I was hoping you'd feel that way. And I'm also hoping you're enjoying your party!

[mikangirl]

Oh, I suppose it'll do.

[She enjoys it very much.]

[goldenglasses]

It will do? Well, we'll certainly have to do better than that next time won't we? [He plays along. Knowing she's kidding.]

You have some interesting friends. [Hi, my name is kettle.]

[mikangirl]

It's a curse of mine in life. I meet more weird people than I do normal people these days.

[goldenglasses]

I don't know if I would call that a curse! Means your life is rarely boring, right?

[mikangirl]

Do you know what I'd give for a week or two of boring sometimes?

[goldenglasses]

Probably just as much or perhaps even more than I would?

[mikangirl]

So what you're saying is you would call it a curse, then.

[goldenglasses]

I dunno. Depends on the day of the week that you ask me. Today? I consider it luck and good fortune because I get to have a fun day with my friends next to a pool to celebrate an amazing woman.

[mikangirl]

[l m a o, vash]

You know, you can be smooth or you can be a dork. Pick one and stick with it.

[goldenglasses]

One? [He scoff dramatically.] That sounds really boring!

[mikangirl]

There's boring and there's consistent. I'm sure you can manage if you try.

[goldenglasses]

I don't know. I'm terrible at consistency.

[mikangirl]

How's a girl meant to trust such an inconsistent man?

[goldenglasses]

Ahhh... Because you can trust them to always be inconsistent? In a way that's consistent, isn't it? I think... maybe....
