fandomhighdorms | The Pool; Thursday Evening [ 11/18 ] -- POOL PARTY!!!

It was finally Thursday! It was finally party time!

And Ariel, not wanting to be a disappointment in carrying the tradition of Atlantican parties onto the land, had gone all out, showing up at the pool as soon as she was finished with Glee Club to get everything set and ready for when the party was going to start. The decorations were slightly insane, and had been...an interesting challenge to put up, but Ariel had managed without falling into the pool too much. And off in an area where the splashing was unlikely to spoil anything, she'd set up a food table with all of her favorite human foods (she was going to do some Atlantican ones, but she'd have to make them herself, and no one wanted that) and a dance floor with a DJ booth for Jono.

How she got all this down here and up was just going to wind up being one of those great mysteries of life, but she knew that hard work and perseverance and obsessive planning had really paid off.

But, of course, it'd be nothing without guests.

[[ yay party! OCD is ~~on the way~~ up, huzzah! Everyone got a personal invitation, so come on in, the water's fine! ]]

"I am certain that you have succeeded," Faramir assured her. Even if he did not know much of fathers and how to impress them, but he was guessing that most thought of their children as his father thought of his brother.

"You enjoy the ocean?"

"I do," Ariel said easily enough; her smile was not going to leave her face all night, but it softened a little. "There's a lot of it where I'm from. And I'm actually going home this weekend to be with my family for my birthday, and so I guess I just got particularly excited to see it again. I mean, yes, there's ocean around us since we're on an island, but it isn't the same as home."

"The ocean does have its pull on Men, does it not? As does one's home, there is no other place quite like it," Faramir remarked with a smile.

"Minas Tirith is some way from the sea, but I have spent enough time at my uncle's that it is not unfamiliar to me. I am glad to hear that you will get a chance to celebrate with your family."

"And women," Ariel felt compelled to correct him with a small little smile.

"And, at first, I was a little annoyed about having to go back, because I do love it here so much, but the more I thought about it, the more excited I got. I miss my sisters, and I've picked out gifts to bring them all, and I can't wait to tell them all about this place. Is Minas Tirith the name of the place you're from? What's it like? Is it beautiful? It sounds beautiful, with a name like that."

"And women," Faramir agreed. "I meant Men as a race. People," he clarified, not wanting her to think he was ignoring women. "I am certain your sisters will be as excited and glad to see you."

And now she had asked a rather dangerous question, at least dangerous if she wanted to keep the pool teal deer free. "It is a city, the capital of my homeland. The White City, she is called and once she went by the name of Minas Anor, the Tower of the Sun. She is fair, though perhaps not as splendid as she once was, but there is no sight like her."

Ariel would have added humans to the list of defining people, but she wouldn't, as it didn't seem a very...human-like thing to say, over all, but she did hold a little smirk as her mind added merfolk as well.

And the teal deer would be welcome. The more, the merrier!

The description definitely held her smile, at least. "It sounds like it," she said. Does the Minas part mean the Tower or the Sun?"

"It means Tower," Faramir clarified. "It was names such because the city lies at the foot of Mount Mindolluin. In the morning, it blocks the sun, but when evening comes the city is bathed in its light."

"That sounds wonderful," said Ariel, smiling fondly as she though of how slats of light would ~~somehow~~ cut through the water and make Atlantica glitter in quite the same way. "What does Tirith mean, then?"
