JUNE EVENT: CAMP

early on June 10th, Friday's morning announcements end with a request for everyone going on the latest excursion to meet her in the atrium. she seems in noticeably better spirits than she had been last time, and she leads them cheerfully to the tender. once they are all aboard, and the door is securely shut, the interior fills with gas, and, perhaps, their last thought before they slip into unconsciousness is "oh shit, not again."

passengers wake up on a rickety old school bus, driving down a dirt road surrounded by woods. what is it that they notice first? that, no matter what they were wearing before, they are now wearing a camp t-shirt and legitimately horrifyingly short shorts? the overstuffed backpack between their knees? the words "take one down and pass it around" dying on their lips? the fact that Friday is absolutely driving the bus?

or, maybe the fact that it's already slowing down, pulling up in front of a massive wooden sign, saying:


 

 

 

 

 

CAMP AION


when they get out of the bus, Friday is the one to divide them up into their cabin groups, and she is the one to give the counselors their very official-looking clipboards and whistles. she explains that they are in charge, and that she will be back to pick them up in a week, and... very little else. she responds to nothing outside of whatever is on her unseen little script, and she gets back on the bus shortly after, leaving them there.

welcome to camp. let's make some summer memories!

[ …

Pfft- ]


Dantalion… [ He's so cute. ] Ehehe!!! Do you think I mean, like, sticky tape? No, no, it's more like, um… film tape! It records sound by… [ Actually, Mizuki doesn't entirely know how recording on tape works. ] …magnets, I think? It's mostly electronically done.

[ He appreciates the kiss, though. And, in fact, he's going to cuddle with Ebalon as he pulls out his phone to scroll through his list of music, going straight for his video game OSTs, because he highly doubts any of his other music is quite suited for a waltz… ] Let's see… mh… [ Ebalon will hear the first few seconds of a couple songs as Mizuki scrolls before he's moving on, instinctively going to some of his Stardew music and humming a little as he realizes, as pretty as they may be, they're not very good dancing songs. Eventually, he lands on one in particular, an excited glint in his eye as he rolls out of the bed and sets his phone up somewhere and clicks on the song to play it, holding out his hand. ]

In that case, Dantalion, may I have this dance?

[Magnets... well, less important. He can figure out how film tape works later, when they're not camping. Where Mizuki can hopefully show him what is meant by this? Anyway, phone. He looks over at the scrolling, trying to parse all the words as they scroll by and figure out what the songs are. The titles do not tell him much, unless there's a title in there with like "love" or something in it, then he assumes that's a love song. Because that's obviously a love song? It says it. Right there.

When Mizuki springs up, Ebalon grins and holds his hand out, placing it in Mizuki's palm.]


You may, my dear.

[—so who's leading here hold on.]

[ He'll have to go through and force coerce Ebalon into listening to some of his more modern music at some point. That could be fun. He's a little worried Ebalon might absolutely hate listening to electronica, though, and he'd get so sad about that. For now, he'll test the waters with video game OSTs and move from there.

Mizuki is absolutely going to attempt to lead. Again, though, he only knows the very basic steps to a waltz, and… maybe being a full head shorter than Ebalon means that he shouldn't be leading, but he's going to try! Thus, he pulls Ebalon over, a hand on his waist, and the other locking their fingers together as he pulls Ebalon into a simple waltz with him. He's occasionally looking down at his feet, and seems to tap one of the fingers on Ebalon's waist to a pattern. ]

[Oh, he's so cute. Oh no. Fuck, Ebalon's in love with this fucking jellyfish.

Yes, his cheeks are dusted pink at Mizuki's leading! It's very charming, in fact. Who cares if Mizuki is small and "shouldn't lead", Ebalon's gonna let him do whatever the fuck he wants.]


Are you keeping time, my love?

[Said to the tapping, obviously. Cute, cute, cute... if he doesn't go into cardiac arrest here it'll be surprising.]

[personal profile] mooninthewater 2022-06-26 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[ An inquisitive glance up at Ebalon, something that asked him if it was strange? Keeping time isn’t that weird, is it? He doesn’t want to ask, though, because it might mess his timing up if he goes saying too much. So… ]

Yes…?

[ He’s doing fine, though, right? He could probably pick up Ebalon and spin him around, too. Hm. Sure, okay, clearly he’s being mocked for being an amateur at this, so he’s just going to casually put both his hands against Ebalon’s waist during a slight lull in the song. With perhaps unsurprising ease, he hoists him up to twirl him around. ]

[personal profile] selenokinesis 2022-06-27 03:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[When you're as old as experienced as Ebalon is, keeping time to a dance comes naturally. Muscle memory and all that. No judgement!]

I was just wondering.

[Because he thinks it's endearing, actually; he's so fucking old that things like that just don't get him. Well, until Mizuki anyway.

He makes some little alarmed half-gasp when Mizuki picks him up and spins him, a laugh leaving his lips thereafter. Right. Mizuki can just pick him up with no effort whatsoever. (Why is that so attractive? Help.)]

[ He does stumble getting back into it after he puts Ebalon back down. There's maybe one (1) second of smugness that he's managed to startle Ebalon, before he's doing his best to figure out how to get back into his tempo and, inevitably to stop himself from stepping on Ebalon's toes, just tripping over his own feet into him instead.

It's fortunate he's so light, at least…? Embarrassing — he'd been meaning to impress his fancy boyfriend with knowledge that he did, in fact, know how to formally dance… But he supposes even that's not entirely true now. ]

[Ebalon laughs quietly when Mizuki bumps into him. You know what, tempo doesn't matter, he's just going to give his jellyfish a squeeze and a kiss on the forehead before helping the two of them find the beat again.]

You're adorable, you know. I'm glad you're mine.
mooninthewater: (142)

[personal profile] mooninthewater 2022-07-03 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
I-I'm not aiming for "adorable," you know! [ He just wanted to show a bit of elegance, but he supposes he doesn't quite have that in him. Certainly not like Ebalon.

As always, though, he welcomes the kisses, and after a clumsy misstep or two, does also get back into a rhythm in time before the song ends full, at least, to which Mizuki twirls them both around and…

Pouts. He's pouting. ]


Sorry, I know that's probably nothin' like your dances back home. I-I don't get the opportunity to do stuff so regal that often.
selenokinesis: (c. 39)

[personal profile] selenokinesis 2022-07-04 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
My dear, I loved every moment of that. Why are you sorry?

[No being sorry! Ebalon leans in to give Mizuki a quick kiss on the lips. Get rid of your Sorry. There is only Love now.]

Why don't you show me a dance you're more familiar with? I'll try to keep up. [He'll also look silly as hell.]
mooninthewater: (21)

[personal profile] mooninthewater 2022-07-04 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Oh! A kiss! He happily returns it, beaming at Ebalon once again. Who's pouting? Not Mizuki, that's for sure. ]

Ehehe! No, no, I could never do that. It's not… Well, it's not fancy, that's for sure.
selenokinesis: (c. 81)

[personal profile] selenokinesis 2022-07-05 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't particularly mind if it isn't. As I am, I'm out of my element with anything more casual than a formal waltz, and besides that, I'd like to try and do the things you like as well.

[Teach Ebalon to dab, Mizuki.]
mooninthewater: (141)

[personal profile] mooninthewater 2022-07-05 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He Will Not. ]

I-… I think I do. If just because it'll be embarrassing…
selenokinesis: (c. 25)

[personal profile] selenokinesis 2022-07-06 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Huhu, that's fine, then. How about this... give me your hand?

[If Mizuki does so, Ebalon will make him do a little spin and then dip him and kiss him on the mouth.

Please please tell me the song changes to some ridiculous anime opening while this happens.]
mooninthewater: (84)

[personal profile] mooninthewater 2022-07-06 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Mizuki does so, giving a little giggle as Ebalon spins him around this time. There's a brief softness as his fingers run through Ebalon's hair and he relaxes in the hold. His eyes flutter closed as their lips so easily slide together, and regardless of their ridiculous camp outfits, Mizuki decides this is still, perhaps, one of the best dances he's had… ]
mooninthewater: (98)

[personal profile] mooninthewater 2022-07-06 09:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[ But then, yeah, weeb shit happens and there is instant transition from soft to panic and embarrassed. Mizuki jolts for a moment, then squirms out of Ebalon's hold, slipping from his grip akin to water as it flops to the ground, then scurries quickly over to his phone with some fumbling to get back onto his feet so he can stop the music. ]
selenokinesis: (c. 34)

[personal profile] selenokinesis 2022-07-07 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[There's an immediate joke like someone just walked in on them or something, but no, everything is fine! It's just music! Music and a panicked jellyfish. Ebalon stands back up fully as Mizuki becomes Boneless™ and follows after him with a chuckle.]

Not what you expected, hm?
mooninthewater: (40)

[personal profile] mooninthewater 2022-07-08 01:04 pm (UTC)(link)
I thought I-I had put the other song on repeat, but… [ Why is there a repeat one and repeat all in his all songs list? That’s dumb and stupid. ] I mean I know it probably doesn’t matter because it’s not like your world has anime or anything, but it’s still a little embarrassing…

[ Idly scrolling through his phone like he’s looking for another song when, in actuality, he’s just embarrassed and the repetitive motion calms him. ]
selenokinesis: (a. D-03)

[personal profile] selenokinesis 2022-07-09 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
...my love, what is anime?
mooninthewater: (110)

[personal profile] mooninthewater 2022-07-09 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
… I'd love to show you, but I don't have any on me, really. I… I do have manga, though. Which is just… book form anime. Would you like to read some of those when we get back to the ship?
selenokinesis: (c. 20)

[personal profile] selenokinesis 2022-07-12 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I would, yes. But what is the form of anime of manga is the book form?
mooninthewater: (97)

[personal profile] mooninthewater 2022-07-12 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Oh no. Oh my god??? He needs to show Ebalon anime now. Madoka here he comes— ]

… It's like… cute pictures in a sort of… hm… does Elrios have comics?
selenokinesis: (c. 23)

[personal profile] selenokinesis 2022-07-14 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
We do, yes. They're more common in the northern region of Fluone.

[personal profile] mooninthewater 2022-07-15 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
They're like that, then! They're just usually from Higashi and in a stylized artform. I own a lot of, um— [ girls' manga— ] romance stuff, though. But I have some mysteries and action stuff here and there, too, if that's not your cup of tea.
