275 gallons of lube in the barn, 275 gallons of lube...

[framestory]

WHO: EVERYONE
WHAT: Ellis tries hosting a summer party with slip n slide.
WHEN: Summer 12
WHERE: On Ellis's farm property
WARNINGS: NSFW dialogue. Owen laying out his kinks for everyone to see.


[ On a very hot day in Summer 12, every house in Crescentview will receive an invitation to Ellis's place along with a map with directions tailored to each house. Better tell your housemate about it. Ellis has invited everyone to come over to his place. There will be an insanely long slip n slide that feels ridiculously slippery. In fact, it is not powered by water. It's powered by water-based lube. But don't worry, Fluffy the white adult samoyed dog can hose you down to wash it all off if desired. He will also accept pets and attention from those who feel awkward at parties. The dog will also go around once in a while to spray random people with the hose.

Anyway, there's also free food laid out on the table! From Lucia's Cozy Kitchen (and advertised as such), there are fried chicken, fried noodles, and spinach wraps. From Diluc's Dämmerung Bar & Winery, there will be this season's specialty: strawberry wine! There are many other food as well such as dried apple chips, crispy fruit salad, generic snacks... there's also soda and water for the people who don't want to drink wine.

The main attractions in the party seem to be the extremely long slip n slides--multiples of them actually--and there is a specifically longer slip n slide, but it's used as a game. There's a plastic stick at the end that you must get to and bring back without falling even once. Yes, your feet must be on the slip n slide. Beware, this one is even more slippery than the others. There is... an assortment of prizes to win. What are the prizes? Win one and find out.

Other than that, Ellis is also selling bottles of water-based lube. He knows some of y'all need these.

Mingle, eat food, and have fun!

i - manning the station;

[ Gaku thought this would be a nice, normal party when he got the invitation. Imagine his surprise when he pulled up to his not!boyfriend's house to see all of this bottled up lube ready to be sold.

Speaking of selling lube, Gaku is currently manning the station while Ellis is off taking care of something else. When anyone approaches, he holds up a single finger. ]

One gold per bottle.

ii - snacks;

[ Thankfully, there's plenty of good food here, so Gaku can be found at the food table, an assortment of different types of food on his plate. He takes a bite from a spinach wrap as he watches someone use the slide. ]

Have you tried it yet?

iii - wildcard;

[ Come at me! Gaku will be mingling about, along with getting sprayed by Fluffy at some point. ]

[irresponsibly]

...I see.

[ It's the only thing she says beneath her breath before she finally catches Gaku when he's alone. There's a beat between the...lube sales...and she decides to use this moment to tease him a bit: ]

This is an act of love on your part, isn't it?

[associative]

[ wow matching icons ]

...Basically.

[ If anyone else asked him to man this "booth", he wouldn't have. But it's Ellis, so... ]

I actually didn't know that he was throwing this kind of party until I got here...

[irresponsibly]

I wonder if he really intends on it becoming that...

[ If so, uh, she's out!! But it doesn't seem to be that way. ]

Maybe he's just trying to get rid of it?

[associative]

He won't, trust me.

[ But he's not going to get into Ellis' whole thing with sex. ]

Probably. You know how he is... trying to make a quick buck like this isn't above him.

[ Even if he's just asking for what is essentially a penny in exchange, he knows how some people on this island are. ]

[irresponsibly]

Oh...well, you have a point.

[ Some people be thirsty, man. He's actually doing them a service. ]

I don't think I'll be needing any of this, but would you like some company?

[ Look who ended up here eventually. Kaspar doesn't hesitate to pick a bottle up to inspect... way too casually. It's clearly not enough to coat a whole slide. He tilts his head slightly.

Trying not to admit he doesn't know what this is for besides what he's gleaned from this party, Kaspar only makes it worse-- ]

Have you, used this before?

[associative]

[ HE SURE DOES!! Gaku's cheeks turn pink as he shakes his head. ]

Uh... no. Not yet.

[ He didn't mean to say those last two words, but it's fine. ]

[bluminescence]

[ Kaspar isn't sure what prompted the flush, but he glances to those cheeks casually. He is still holding the lube. ]

There is, no rush.

[associative]

[ He smiles. ]

Yeah, there's not.

[ But a lot of people don't know what it is, so he gets over his embarrassment. ]

It can be used for all kinds of things, though. Squeaky machinery, stuck zippers, on your lips if you need it. Anything where you need to reduce the amount of friction.

[bluminescence]

[ Kaspar returns it with a small one of his own. There is a beat where he considers reassuring Gaku that he shouldn't have any issues as a dancer. It's not such a difficult thing with practice.

... Because he is still thinking of the slide when Gaku starts his explanation and he blinks. But how useful! So Kaspar grabs like five while still looking as innocent as ever. Yep, just going to openly carry these around. ]

Thank you.

[ When people aren't trying to buy anymore, he figures they can just come over and ask him personally about the bottles. Right now, Ellis is soaked from head to toe in pure water that Fluffy sprayed him with and takes a fried chicken. Nom. ]

"The food? The slide?"

[associative]

[ Gaku looks Ellis up and down. ]

Both. [ A pause. ] Want me to grab you a towel?

[framestory]

[ He is in comfy clothes--a t-shirt and cargo pants that end at his knees. At least neither of them are white. Ellis nods while taking another bite out of the kitchen. Lucia's cooking!! Is so good!! ]

[associative]

[ What a shame neither of them are...

Anyway, Gaku pats him on the head as he goes into the house to retrieve a towel. When he comes back, he waits for Ellis to finish eating before he starts drying his hair. ]

[framestory]

[ Ellis is finally done eating and throws the bone into the trash, wipes his mouth with a napkin and suddenly his hair is getting tousled? Oh, it's just Gaku. Ellis feels comfortable like this. It's like a head massage. ]

i; i blame coco

[sicklysweet]

[Hey Gaku, long time no see, Owen is absolutely trying not to think about the last time he ran into the idol because haha he's not unpacking any of That Situation any time in the next millennia.]

...

[He looks at the bottles.]

What is it?

hmmmmmm

[associative]

[ Gaku is immediately thinking of That Situation, and wondering if Owen still has that jacket.

Anyway. ]

Lubricant. It makes things slippery.

[ That's all you're getting, Owen. ]

[sicklysweet]

[Don't worry about it. Of course he does.]

"Things", huh...

[He's not that much of an idiot.]

Things you're not lubricating at the moment? How sad.

[associative]

[ Gaku makes a face. Leave it to Owen to say something like this... ]

...Is it really that sad?

[sicklysweet]

Welllll.

[He draws out the word, like an asshole.]

It means nobody wants to touch you - not even yourself. That’s pretty sad, isn’t it?

i.............. i am really sorry

[unchainer]

[ Hmm? Vanitas peers over at the bottles of...whatever this is. He hears the person manning the station mention something about one gold per bottle, and while Vanitas is a broke ass bitch right now, he's going to approach Gaku and see what this is all about. ]

That depends on what you're selling.

are you really

[associative]

[ It takes a Herculean effort, but Gaku bites back a sigh. ]

Lubricant.

[ Please, please tell him you know what it is, Vanitas. ]

[unchainer]

[ Fortunately for him, he does. Just like Noe! How convenient. ]

Oh? Is this that kind of party?

[associative]

[ Extremely convenient!

But Gaku quickly shakes his head. ]

No. You take it and use it on your own terms. Not here.
