SWIMSUIT! PARTYYYYY!!

Who: Trails/Kiseki cast + any CR + anyone who wants to assume they were invited, ping forwarderelentlessly#2402 on discord if you wanna ask!
When: The 31st
Where: Trails House
What: SWIMSUIT PARTY
Warnings: Probably gonna be some talk about death/end-of-life in places but it's not the point


It's party time! Crow has, for reasons that will baffle anyone who doesn't know him, decided that the Thing To Do is throw a swimsuit party in the middle of winter. And unless you're Elliot, who has an excellent excuse for it, the dress code is required and you will be denied entrance otherwise. Yes, Crow is absolutely serious about this. He is not sorry. His friends might be, though.

Crow let Fie go wild on the decorations, so the party's style is.... well, imagine something like this and you won't be very far off at all. There are a couple of features of note, though! The first is that he's set up some kind of... well, it's a slip'n'slide going down the hall of the first floor. He sure did do that. The second feature is a small hot tub that he has somehow managed to set up in the living room.

And yes, Crow is aware he's going to be the one who has to clean all of this up later. Worth it.

Food has been mostly provided by the lovely Miss Towa Herschel and enchanted to keep you warm despite the ridiculous mandatory wardrobe. You'll find a wide variety of seafood dishes, some fancier than others. The less fancy end of things, like the fish burgers, were provided by Crow who ended up pitching in after all instead of making poor Towa do all the hard work.

Crow and Elliot have worked together to enchant music to play for this party-- rock music of course, playing at a comfortable volume throughout the living room and down the hallway. It's enough to dance to, if you're inclined to! Or you can just chat with friends and enjoy it in the background.

As for the host of the party, you can find him relaxing in that hot tub or by the buffet.

[Painful huh? That...was something Elliot didn't know. But it's a reasonable enough explanation that it stops Elliot from getting worked up. ]

...O-Oh, I didn't know it was.. [Embarrassing to admit, but on the other hand, he feels like he dodged a bullet in a sense because he sure would've screwed that up]

Thaaat makes sense then, w-why you'd warn him.

[It's definitely weird, having a talk about this with Elliot now. Giving different firsts to different people wasn't something she'd considered much before. But if they're going to have this conversation then-- she might as well come clean.]

Honestly... there were a lot of times I wanted to bring it up with you. But back then, I always felt so nervous that maybe you'd... never really be interested in being together with me that way. Especially considering you'd have to deal with all that. It didn't change how I felt about you, so I thought it was okay.

[But not being honest with Elliot before was what almost tore them apart, and hurt them both. So--]

But it never changed the fact that I wanted that with you. And still do hope that maybe someday...

[Wow, it sounds like Towa's given a lot more thought to this than he thought she did. Was it really that important to her? It sure sounded that way, and at this point in time, Elliot wasn't sure how to respond to it. ]

Towa...

[He tries to think of a response, especially when they are still in the middle of a party]

It's not....completely off the table, I just... it hasn't felt right timing yet, you know? [He didn't exactly go in planning out positions, it just...sorta happen] I don't exactly plan that much, as I'm sure you've noticed...

[So in other words, no. He can't give a definitive answer right now. He will though reach over to squeeze her hand. ] Let's just...take it as it comes? S-Sounds like you already got something exciting planned for next time as it is...

[You know, with inviting Crow]

[She can't say that it's not something that she really wants. But she'd accepted way back that it might not be possible-- and she never questioned that she wanted to be with him anyway.

But saying that, she can tell she got him really thinking. Before he stresses over it too much--
]

I already have the the thing that's most important to me. I have you. So please don't worry about it. It just... felt right to be honest about it. Even if it never happens, as long as we're together, I'll be happy.

[He's endured and accepted so many of her wild ideas already. Honestly, she knows that she's already incredibly blessed.]

You're already the most incredible person I could have asked for.

[He breathes out a little, feeling some relief as she clears the air. Right. There was no pressure. plus, that was honestly really sweet coming from her.]

Haha, Towa...that's so sweet.

[He moves to kiss her on top of her head, affectionately]

I really appreciate the honesty. And I'm happy with you too.

Well it's the truth.

[But she's glad to see that he seems to be relaxing some. The last thing she wanted to do was put more pressure on him. In fact, she'd like to do the opposite, with him feeling a bit self-conscious right now.

Towa lowers her voice just a bit-- enough for the following bit to stay safely between the two of them.
]

Besides. Planned or not, you've never left me wanting for anything.

[T O W A. He coughs up his drink again, his cheeks blushing. Maybe he shouldn't drink around Towa. it's clearly dangerous]

That's-

[Swallowing and clearing his throat]

I-I'm glad to hear that. Think that' swimsuit's making you bolder.

[She promises she's not trying to kill him.]

S-sorry, sorry. It's just... sometimes I think you could stand to hear those things as much as I could.

[Towa's just going to finish her own drink and keep quiet for a bit.]

Haha...

[It's sweet, really. Just you know, they were among other people right now. But, to make things not completely awkward, he'll lean down a little and whisper in her ear]

How about later tonight then? Once we're done here?

[Make that someday into tonight]

[Instantly she flushes-- even if she manages to keep the drink down. Towa keeps her voice low, nodding her head.]

I-I'd like that.

[He smiles back, least he got back at her a little]

Eheh, alright. Tonight it is then.
