19th Sphere

[child_abuser]

[In a rare move, a frustrated Jecht picks up the phone and dials a call out to the town.]

"Y'know what's really shitty 'bout this town? No beach. What the hell kind of summer can you have without a beach?"

[Anyone who stops by the Evans household on Partridge today will find Jecht setting up a crummy-looking makeshift beach out on his front

Comments

I have NO IDEA why Olivier would be there but MUST SEE THIS.

[wristsniper]

[Olivier heads over to the BADASS household of Jecht and Yuugi for {insert reason here!}. Clearly this was a very important mission that could not be interrupted by anything so trivial as a beach.

...YEAH RIGHT.]

...What is this?

[child_abuser]

[His answer is incredibly matter-of-fact as he tilts his head to peer at Olivier over the top of his sunglasses.]

"...It's a beach."

[wristsniper]

[So bemused.]

Why?

[child_abuser]

[There is just a slight hint of wistfulness in his voice. Thankfully, his eyes are mostly hidden.]

"Ain't summer without the beach."

[Covers for it by jerking a thumb over toward the pool.]

"Wanna go for a swim? Water's nice."

[His blitzball is floating cheerfully on the surface of the water.]

[no_mountains]

You can make one yourself!

[child_abuser]

Yup. S'what I'm gonna do.

[no_mountains]

Do you need help? I'm good with sand!

[child_abuser]

Sure, c'mon over. I'm on Partridge.

[dodo_master]

[SUDDENLY

There is a small man hanging off the side of your pool, looking in, testing the water with his hand. Ooooooooooooooooh that's nice.]

[child_abuser]

Get in if you want. I didn't put this here just for me.

[dodo_master]

[He lights up.] I can?! Fantastic! But I don't have a swimsuit here.

[He's totally bypassed it in his closet a dozen times, because, well, his idea of a swimsuit is this.]

[child_abuser]

[Cynric will get the same answer he gave Olivier.]

"Well, better go buy one, then."

[tindaddyblues]

[Your passing by neighbor from two doors down leans over her fence to gawk...

My, sir. That's inventive.]

[child_abuser]

[Gives a wave and a grin, looking proud of himself.]

[tindaddyblues]

[This is the guy who took far more than his share of steak at Monday's barbecue.

...Grace hasn't quite figured out what to think of him yet.]

Warm mornin', Mister Evans? I haven't seen sun like this in years!

[No really. Underwater living sucks that way,]

[child_abuser]

[Waves her over.]

"Just a little somethin' to remind me of home. Pull up a lawn chair if you want, and tell Atticus he's cool to come over anytime too."

PLEASE THROW HIM IN THE WATER /BAD PERSON

[ra_ra_razputin]

[Honestly, Raz could live without a beach. Or any body of water. That was one plus to Mayfield (if there was such a thing): the park's pond and the community pool were the only things he had to worry about, and they were out of his way enough to avoid them entirely. Which is why he's quite surprised when he happens down a street and finds another pool in the middle of somebody's front lawn.]

...You got a pool.

[child_abuser]

Sure do, kid. You wanna have a swim?

[ra_ra_razputin]

No!

[ra_ra_razputin]

...Uh, I mean, I dunno how to swim.
