Pool party, anyone?

I've laid out snacks and finger foods in the kitchen, but there's a table out here we could move it all to. Lemonade, iced tea, various soft drinks, and loads of bottled water are already here in coolers and I've set up the umbrellas as well as coercing Kyle into helping me set up that pool volleyball net. Also, I bought all these little weighted rings and other things, if anyone's interested in playing 'who can pick up the most while underwater' - Pyotr, no powers, I know you don't have to breathe while in your metal form.

You are no fun at all. But I'll be there, in the flesh, to spleash around and eat too much.

[xp_banshee]

I'm plenty fun, you loon. I just don't think it's fair to other people if you do that when they can't...

On the other hand, if you wanted to do that with all the other people who can breathe underwater or don't need to, that'd be hilarious. I did buy ten packages of the toys, so we could see if anyone else is interested? Diving for treasure or what have you.

Also, could you help me move the food from the kitchen?

[xp_colossus]

Of course. I'd be happy to assist as I can.

... is THAT what it is???

fuuuuuuck. huh.

[xp_darcy]

You always know just what I need. 😘

I mean, who doesn't need a day in the sun (covered in sunscreen) at the pool watching people have fun and/or having fun themselves? With food?

I've got that book I promised you in my bag, whenever you come down.

[xp_darcy]

true, true. sun, book, swimsuit, little shade, big hat...

[xp_havok]

Let's goooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Bet I can hold my breath the longest!

[xp_banshee]

You're from California, aren't you? And you and the missus enjoy surfing. Lord, I'll bet you can hold your breath.

[xp_havok]

Yeah learning to surf involves learning not to drown lmao. I think my best is one minute under? Something like that.

[xp_wildchild]

It wasn't -that- much coercion, Ter. Pool volleyball is fun as hell.

[xp_daredevil]

pool volleyball is rad

[xp_wildchild]

I mean you're not WRONG but "rad"?

[xp_banshee]

Yes, yes. I'm just excited to see everything all sorted and up and useable for the next few weeks. Missed out on July and it's heading toward autumn at a quick clip.

Also, your board shorts are lovely, I like the rainbows. The shirt matching was a nice touch.

[xp_spectrum]

It really is. Even with all this water up my nose. ;) But lying in the sun afterwards is a good way to dry out.

[xp_banshee]

I'll admit, even copious amounts of sunscreen don't usually keep me from pinking up if I'm in the sun too much, but it's such a nice day that I'm tempted anyway.

[xp_echo]

Best two out of three?

[xp_hawkeye]

Are we allowed to be on the same team?

[xp_blink]

brb purple bikini incoming!!

[xp_banshee]

Delightful! I've gone a bit cliche with a green one for myself, but.

[xp_phoenix]

On my way. I haven't swam in a hot minute.

[xp_banshee]

Bring the tequila, I've got this pineapple mixer I wanna try!

[xp_jubilee]

Floaties at 12 o’clock!

Cannonball?

Thanks for holding the pool party. It was nice to get out of the office and into the sunlight.
