The Konoha Pool Party!

[Tensei Kaori]

((I chose to write this thread in Narrative style because it seemed to fit the thread.))

[Theme music: Kakashi's Theme]


Tensei Kaori looked up at the blinding midmorning sun as she lay her beach bag down on a nearby lounge chair. Flipping her unrestrained hair out of her face and lowering her red-rimmed sunglasses, she took a look around. Not many people here, but the event organizers already had all the food and decorations up. She slipped off her red beaded sandals and carefully folded the large white blouse and black sarong she had been wearing to reveal a sporty red and black one-piece swimsuit. She lay her coverups on the ground and sat on the edge of the pool, dangling her legs in the water. She would get in later, but for now it felt good just to sit here in the sun.

[JyouNoHaku]

Kirei picked out a warm spot in a grassy area to place her towel and lounge chair. She streached out to get nice and comfy, put on her sunglasses and took of her cute, pink, fluffy, flip flops. She looked around to see if there was anyone she knew..and was looking out for the one person, or should she say animal, she didn't want to see. As her gaze got closer to the poolside she noticed hokage-sama, looking rather cute in her black and red bathing suit, sitting at the side of the pool.

Oh, Hokage-sama! I should go over and say 'hi!'.

Kirei got herself up, walked over to where Kaori was, sat down and said in a high-pitched voice,

"Hiya, Hokage-sama!"

[Tensei Kaori]

Kaori looked up and grinned. "Hello there! It looks like we're the first ones here, hm?"

[Sorien]

"Why no!" said Sorien, appearing from nowhere, wearing only bright yellow swimming togs. "Nice day for a swim isn't it?" He asked. He then took a few steps to the water and dipped his toes in. "Hmm" He frowned. "A little on the cold side" He said. "Want me to?" He lit a fire on the tip of his finger and smiled at Kaori and Kirei.

[JyouNoHaku]

She looked up at Sorien, "Yeah, sure, why not! Maybe then we can actually get into the pool!"

[Tensei Kaori]

"What do you mean, 'maybe then we can actually get into the pool'?" Kaori asked, taking off her glasses and setting them to one side. She stood on the edge of the pool, leaped up into the air, and turned in a graceful somersault before diving hands-first into the pool. The water was cold, all right, but it felt good after the heat.

"It feels fine to me!"

"Not everyone has the taste for freezing that you do, Kaori-sama" Akina chided as she approached. Kicking her heeled sandals off near a lounge chair, she chuckled. "Nor do they have the benefit of your special jutsu." She was wearing a light green halter bikini with a swim skirt built onto the bottom piece, a dark green sarong trimmed in gold designs, a large straw hat, and sunglasses that she had pushed down her nose in order to gaze over the tops of the frames.

"Please do the honors, Sorien-kun," she said as she set her hat on top of the lounge chair. Kaori just stuck her tongue out at her and continued swimming.

[Kiba]

"Yo!" Yaku called out loudly as he waved widely before he could even see the rest of the people were there. As usual he looked quite enthusiastic, but for some odd reason, he wasn't wearing any sort of swimming garb. Just plain black shorts and a white T-shirt. Oh well. Hiromi was perched happily on his head, looking quite interested in the pool and the going-ons around them.

"Hey, what's all this?" he asked curiously as he glanced around, tilting his head slightly. Darnit, why did he almost always seem to be out of the loop of everything?

[JyouNoHaku]

Kirei looked over and saw Yaku, and waved to him, "Hey there! Come join the fun!" Then she turned to Kaori-sama, "Yeah I suppose you're right, I should stop being a whimp and just jump in!"

Kirei took a few steps back, as well as a deep breath, then sprinted towards the edge of the pool and dove right in.

"HOLY CRAP IT'S FREEZING!...but slightly refreshing"

[SeraphMazrakiel]

"So, this is where the party's at, hmm?"

Maz, with a black towel around his shoulders, approached the gates to the venue and entered. Pool party time!

"Hehe, alrighty... whoa, sweet! Diving board!" Quickly tossing aside his bag and towel, he made for the diving board, jumped and bounced off the edge high into the air, and prepared to bomb the heck out of the water, and everyone else. One way to start a pool party was with a splash. A BIG one. "WOOHOOOOOOOOO!!!!"

A split second before breaking the surface of the water, Maz disappeared into the shadow of the diving board: where people were expecting a loud splash and a wave of cold water to hit them, they were treated with the exact opposite. Moving along the diving board, the shadow made its way to the edge of the pool and traced along its edge; Maz began to form next to the others by the poolside.

"Ai-hai-hai-hai-hai-hai!!!!" Maz grinned.

[Sergeant Tenny]

Masato stepped through the gates and looked around. "I didn't even know there was a pool here!" Adjusting the strap on the guitar case slung over his shoulder and hefting the amp in his right hand, he walked over to a bench near the pool and sat down. Reaching into the case, Masato pulled out an electric guitar, plugged it into the amp, and started to strum it, adjusting the tuning pegs until it sounded just right. Grinning widely, he began to play a tune off the top of his head. ((Bunta, off OST 3 XD XD))

[SeraphMazrakiel]

Maz's ears pricked up at the sound of the electric guitar. Like a gazelle on crack, Maz charged over excitedly at the speed of light, and sat down next to a large drum set. Suddenly, a voice echoed through the air... like one of those announcers on television. Or perhaps the voice of Tucker from Red vs Blue.

"But Maz, how did you get a drum set here?"
"You forgot one minor thing. These are the Silly Boards!"
"Oh. My. God. No. Way!"
"That's right! I bent time and space and appeared here with a drum set!"
"That doesn't seem physically possible!"
"No, but it's SILLY, and therefore, LEGITIMATE!"

At that moment, Maz reached for his drum sticks (which he also created using his silly powers of space and time... powers which shall not be used except for CREATING RANDOM MUSICAL OBJECTS THAT MAZ CAN PLAY), and looked at Masato.

"Yo' man, mind if I play too?"

[Sergeant Tenny]

"Yo' man, mind if I play too?" Masato smiled even wider and nodded. "Of course you can, bro! See if you can keep up!" Grinning wickedly he said, "Give me 3 shots of cymbal, and then hit the beat!" Hunching over his guitar, he waited for Maz's opening cymbal, and then took off, playing a song that seemed to go with the beat.

((Result is Go by FLOW XPXP Just thought it fit, plus it's fun, and rifftastic))

[SeraphMazrakiel]

"You got it, bro."

Maz ran over a few things in his mind... what sort of beat should he play? Jazzy... blues-ish...

...three cymbals? Sounded like Masato wanted something a little harder. A little faster.

Tapping his sticks together, he figured something to play. He hoped that it'd gel with what Masato had in mind. Raising his stick above the cymbal, he nodded; time to get this show on the road.

One, two, three...

[Sorien]

Kaori jumped in. Kirei jumped in. Maz CREATED A downpour. Sorien was drenched head to toe in the fallout from Maz's jump. It wasn't warm either. "A'ight...I'm warmin' this right up here and now." He put his two hands into the water, and pulling from his training with dish drying in Sobas restaurant, he began to warm up the pool. He didn't want to over do it. "THERE!" Perfect. Sorien without further thought, jumped into the pool, now at a temperature he could really enjoy. "Whee!" SPLASH!

[JyouNoHaku]

Kirei, like Maz, perked up when she heard the guitar music.

"I WANNA JOOOOOOOOOIN!!!" she ran over to her things, pulled out her scroll and summoned her dad's old guitar again.

"Ello!" she chirped to Maz and Masato, "hope you don't mind if I butt in too!"
