Backdated to the weekend Beach Party and Birthday Log! \o/

[fierybluebird]

[Marco runs around setting everything up. There's platters of food laid out -- more than enough and some extra as a habit from dealing with Ace and 1600 pirates, a boombox with tons of music, beach volleyball set up, a campfire, and according to Selphie and Marco, fireworks for later. GO NUTS. There will be some threads set up, but you can make your own or do anything! Just remember if the thread gets wild, mark it as NSFW.]

OH I SEE NOW lmao

[laughafterme]

TOUMA?! IS...THAT YOU?! [She's checking him out from all angles, but stops right in front of him.]

Where's your tie?!

[youngnobelman]

[Touma chuckles.] I left it in my dorm. I can live without it!

[laughafterme]

I never thought I would see it with my own eyes! [Pinkie laughs.] Are you gonna play volleyball later? Or will you try some sushi?!

[youngnobelman]

I'm still thinking about the sushi... [He's a bit judgmental about non-Japanese made sushi.] But I could go for some volleyball. [A smile.]

[laughafterme]

The sushi tastes pretty alright to me! [But then again, Pinkie eats anything...] I kind of ate a lot of it!

[youngnobelman]

I'm surprised there's any left. [There's a half-grin to confirm it's just gently teasing, not serious, and he takes an empty plate for himself.] Is there a particular kind you'd recommend?

[laughafterme]

Yeah, I ate before I came! [Although that won't tide her over for long.]

THIS ONE! [She points to the tuna and mayo sushi] OH! This one too! [Smoked salmon!] That one's good too! [She points to one that's actually...a slice of bread rolled up with peanut butter and jelly.]

[youngnobelman]

[Touma takes one of each of the sushi she points out, but hesitates at the PBJ roll.] That's... not sushi.

[laughafterme]

Of course it is! Look how it's all wrapped and ready to be eaten!

YOU CAN'T DENY ITS PURPOSE IN LIFE, TOUMA!

[youngnobelman]

I... didn't think "wrapped and ready to be eaten" were part of what makes sushi sushi.

[laughafterme]

[...WELP she's putting it on his plate anyway.]

[youngnobelman]

[Fine, fine! Looking a little skeptical, Touma takes a bite -

[And huh, he had not been expecting that. He chews, at first weirded out and then fascinated.]

[laughafterme]

Weeellllll?! Whaddaya thnk?!

[youngnobelman]

Interesting. I've never had that combination of flavors before.

[Touma was a deprived child.]

[laughafterme]

You mean...you've never had peanut butter and jelly?! [She looks at him, hoping she's wrong.]

[youngnobelman]

[He shakes his head.] We didn't really have jelly in the house when I was growing up. Preserves, sometimes, but never combined with peanut butter.

[laughafterme]

...Oh, Touma...

[She's just...going to hug him and pat his back. There, there, buddy. There, there.]

[youngnobelman]

[Touma is too taken aback at first to react, but eventually he hugs her back, loose and awkward.]

[laughafterme]

Don't worry, Touma! I'll be sure to make you some more! [She lets go of him after a moment longer and ruffles his hair.] Lets get you some more food!

shall we wrap this up?

[youngnobelman]

[Out of habit, Touma tries to smooth his hair from the ruffling before he nods.] I'd appreciate that, thank you.

[Away!]

SURE! /o/

[laughafterme]

[TO THE FOOD! :D ]
