The Pool; Sunday Noonish to Question Mark; July in Christmas Party.

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

Pippi had done wonderfully with decking the basement pool out to make it look like a luau; Chad helped hanged everything up high on the walls. Still, his favourite part had to be all the faux mini-palm trees strung with holiday lights everywhere. They were just too cute.

The pool toys were scattered around, the electric grill was fired up, and the holiday pool party was ready to go.


[[ but the minor, required party OCD isn't yet Wheee! Annnnn' Pippi's participation modded with permission, yo. ]]

The Pool

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

Mostly for swimming and splashing and playing chicken or Marco Polo. No diving off the shallow end, dudes.

Walter had had breakfast, so first came swimming. Then food, then mingling.

Nadia set down her iced tea and came over, waving cheerfully. "Hey! This is what Christmas is all about."

Chad really did have a simple mind. He really had been so big on this pool party thing on the merits of its fun factor; it hadn't come into his brain of the other merits, the people hanging around in next to nothing, until actually confronted with it.

Best. Idea. Ever. But Chad, land creature or no, had to take a break from the heat...of the grill...and took a dive in the pool.

The Food.

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

Chad's not much of a swimmer, so he doesn't mind manning the grill and cooking up all your hamburgers and hot dogs. Yes, Jude, there are sticks. Yes, Mac, there are vegan options, too. The Chad cares.


[[ food options are completely moddable; the idea was to keep things summery, but Chad and Pippi organized this. They could'a thought of anything and arguably considered it summery. ]]

Nadia happened to think that this particular holiday theme was very traditional, and was far too happy to be heading down to the basement in her swim suit.

Once there, she poured herself a Christmas iced tea. Ahhh, Christmas.

"So," Cally said, wandering up to Nadia and casting glances in shirtless Chad's direction.

"What was it like?"

Re: The Food.

Pippi pops the top off her traditional Christmas root beer.

"Hey Nadia! Merry Christmas!"

Re: The Food.

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Nadia. Thanks for coming."

Chad was kind of wondering how the whole fact that pool party meant swimsuits had slipped his mind when he and Pippi thought this up. He was almost glad he didn't. It was quite a pleasant surprise, really.

"Best. Christmas Eve. Ever," Cally said, grabbing a veggie burger. She was feeling guilty about the bacon she had earlier.

Re: The Food.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"I'm inclined to agree." Pippi said taking in all the shiftlessness.

Teddy grabbed a veggie burger and tried not to feel uncomfortable in his swimsuit. He was attempting to hide his lower half behind the food table.

Re: The Food.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Where there is food, there is Walter. It is an unchanging equation. If it changes, worry.

Re: The Food.

[imac-kenzie.livejournal.com]

Mac, surprisingly enough has actually shown up. There's vegan food for her, she had to. She even took on some of what Cally said about wearing a swimsuit. Except in her case it's really just a tankini (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v11/pinlow/mollys%20blog%20pictures/tankini.jpg) and board shorts.

Now, she's hanging around the food, arms folded a little self-consciously over her stomach, trying to figure out what to eat.

Pip is incapable of swimming. Injury and all.

He's content to eat hot dogs on the side of the pool.

John grabbed a burger and hobbled to a chair. Best. Christmas. Evaar.

Pool Side.

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

For the mingling outside of the water. There's lots of comfy deck chairs. And holiday music.

Re: Pool Side.

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

Jude, cast carefully wrapped in plastic and being actually careful about his speed on crutches for once, staked out a deck chair at a safe distance from the pool. He was wearing swim trunks and instead of his toque, a pair of reindeer antlers which had a tendency to list to one side.

Re: Pool Side.

After grabbing his food, Walter went to have a seat and eat and watch the half naked guys other students who had come by.

Pippi is flouncing around poolside.

OOC.

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

I...won't be around until later tonight. Crazy holiday stuff. So no actual Chad interaction until then. *pout* Have fun, kids.

...And I swear this wasn't just an excuse to showcase off Chad's shirtless icon.

...Mostly.

Re: OOC.

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAHA July in Christmas!

Re: OOC.

[notthehulk.livejournal.com]

Was it an excuse to get Chad, Jude and Teddy half-nekkid?

Re: OOC.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Actually, shirtlessness could very well have been the inspiration for the pool party suggestion.

:D
