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

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!

[ 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?

[associative]

I wouldn't mind it.

[ He'll even scoot over a bit so there's extra room for her to pull up a chair. ]

It does have other uses, you know. If you ever have a squeaky... something.

[ Please take some. ]

[irresponsibly]

[ She'll go ahead and pull up a chair so she can sit next to him, but... ]

Um, well, I suppose if I have any rusty equipment or something?

[ She considers this for a moment. ]

I'll take one, if you have any spares after all of this. Just one.

[associative]

We'll have plenty of spares.

[ And so he just grabs one of the bottles from backstock and sets it down on the table in front of her.

Then, without a segue or any other indicator that he's switching the topic— ]

He's my boyfriend now.

[irresponsibly]

Oh! Is he? Congratulations!

[ She'll take the bait, it's fine, she's happy for him. That is a more appealing topic, anyway. ]

Since when?

[associative]

[ It's much easier to talk about this than the uses for lube and whether or not they need it. ]

I asked him a couple of days ago, and he agreed. He said outright that he likes me.

[irresponsibly]

Wh- he said that outright?! Oh!

[ GOOD JOB, ELLIS. ]

That's really good to hear! I'm so happy for you!

[associative]

Thanks.

[ He grins. ]

I was actually just teasing him for being a little shy, but I didn't think he'd actually say that.

[irresponsibly]

I'm really glad he did.

[ Ellis seems like the sort of person who says what he thinks, so it all makes sense. ]

I hope you're able to have a nice future with him back at home, too.

[associative]

Thanks.

[ He smiles softly, though there's a hint of unsureness in it. ]

We haven't talked about it yet, but hopefully he'll come around to the idea of going back with me someday, even though it won't be easy at all.

[irresponsibly]

[ She frowns, contemplative. ]

Because you're an idol, right?

[associative]

Yeah. I have to wear a disguise in public or else I'll be hounded.

[ He sighs. It's something he doesn't want to think about, but he's well aware he'll need to. ]

Not to mention the idea of me dating someone at all will be difficult for the fans to accept.

[irresponsibly]

I...I guess I can't wrap my head around that, still. If I were a fan of someone and they were in a happy relationship, I'd feel happy for them.

[ Which is how she feels towards some people she likes watching, for example. ]

I hope that you won't get too much backlash for your decision. I don't think there's anything wrong with it.

[associative]

[ Ah, Lucia... the kind of fan every idol wants. ]

Thanks. TRIGGER is unfortunately already in some hot water, so I'm hoping that we can get by with just letting him not be formally introduced for a while.

[irresponsibly]

I hope so, too. And I hope your group mates will accept it, too.

[ stares at tenn

stares into the camera ]

[associative]

I think Ryu will. He's kind of a romantic, so he'll be happy for me.

[ but, uh

:') ]

Tenn scolded me about the girl I liked before... coming back home with someone is going to be a nightmare for him. [ A pause. ] And me.

[irresponsibly]

Oh... Tenn seems to take it pretty seriously.

[ Which is an understatement. ]

Is he worried about TRIGGER's reputation?

[associative]

Yeah. He cares about how we look to the fans, which I can't blame him for, honestly.

[ But Gaku is unfortunately led by his feelings in interpersonal relationships much more than he is by anything else. ]

Let's just say if he ended up here that he'd never leave because he can't betray the fans by getting married.

[irresponsibly]

I see...

[ He must have a lot of fortitude, she thinks. ]

I couldn't imagine adhering to such strict standards. But I hope he'll come to respect your decision eventually.

[associative]

When he sees how serious I am, I think he will.

[ Tenn isn't a total asshole, after all. ]

Whatever happens, we'll figure everything out. I'm not too worried.
