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!

Not yet. I guess I want to see how others do it first.

[No he just likes the fun of seeing people fall flat on their butt.]

Okay now I go to bed BRB hours

[bluminescence]

[ Kaspar nods but seems content to linger beside him and occupy the role of audience over participant. Though he can't help but notice what works... and what clearly does not.

He doesn't really laugh at the next person to fall, calm smile only a shade more amused. Without looking away from the lubed up chaos, he offers this new stranger some of his food. ]

tucks you in

[graftage]

[He spares a few chuckles for the falls, though his gaze is a little more intent than he means it to be, even as his expression stays carefree.]

[At the offer, though, he looks mildly surprised, before reaching over to grab a couple things to pop them in his mouth.]

Ah, thanks. That's nice of you.

Welcome to my Friday and a long weekend \o/ tagcation

[bluminescence]

[ Kaspar's expression is calm as ever, with a glancing smile and a shake of his head. There is plenty of food for everyone, what is a delay in getting more if he misses the loss? ]

She is good at cooking.

[ A few more slide participants keep his eyes occupied, especially those that almost make it. ]

Are you, going to attempt it?

[graftage]

Hm?

[He hums while chewing, before swallowing, contemplative.]

Oh, maybe? I don't know. I know my little sisters would give it a go if they were here. They'd probably bully me into doing it.

[bluminescence]

...

[ Kaspar goes quiet a moment, eating the next piece of food with a glance at the other. He takes his time. ]

Are you, requesting bullying?

[graftage]

[Now that surprises him a little, before he smirks, amused.]

Are you willing to bully?

[bluminescence]

[ Kaspar smiles with a hum. But his expression says the answer needs little contemplation. He looks back to the sliders. ]

If it is fun.

[graftage]

[Now he offers a wink, leaning in cheekily.]

Let's see you give it your best shot, then.

[bluminescence]

[ He'd meant if the other thinks it is fun, and the wink only confirms it. Which explains the warmth of his expression. What kind of bully looks so fond, shameless about looking directly at him when he leans in. His good posture, though relaxed, still means he can look down at him slightly when Kaspar tilts his head and stands his ground calmly.

It brushes conflict, despite his soft tone and confidence, shifting his weight subtly. ]

You've been, watching so intently. Why hesitate?

[graftage]

[Steinbeck is playful - there's always been a certain ease to how he holds himself, as if life is just a casual breeze on a lazy day. Not to say that is always what he feels, but his attitude is light, even if he deep down may not always have the same sentiment.]

[This time it's genuine, though, and he shrugs his shoulders back, letting out a "hmmm".]

What if I make a fool of myself? I mean, I could do it, but....

[He's hemming and hawing for a reason, obviously part of the tease.]

[bluminescence]

...

[ That playfulness is what keeps Kaspar here, drawing it out in himself in turn. Conflict avoidant to a fault, this is still fun. ]

You might.

[ Kaspar agrees, finishing his food and taking a step towards the slide without looking away from the other. He's not a very good bully. ]

[graftage]

Maybe...

[But he is definitely not deterred, moving forward to catch Kaspar's eye again, his voice light.]

...Say. If you do it, will you cheer me on? I need all the luck I can get.

[bluminescence]

I will, if you do.

[ Kaspar offers easily, with another step towards the slide as he reaches to start removing his holster and box of bullets. This is a sport, not a dance or a spectacle on stage. The only fun thing he'd ever been able to choose for himself, something to focus his body on besides the number of eyes in a crowd.

Which is to say, he is confident and doesn't know a dice roll will decide this. Airily, he asks-- ]

What would, you like if you succeed?

[graftage]

Haha, I guess its only fair. Sure.

[He'll move to the side next to Kaspar, pulling open the laces on his boots so he can start taking them off. And...hm. A good question. What would he like?]

Hard to say. I like getting stuff. Maybe something for the farm. Maybe a few plants, or a farm animal. [And now, he's letting himself be a little cheeky, his tone almost bordering on a laugh.] Maybe a kiss on the cheek?

[bluminescence]

[ Another hum, he asks as he stretches out his arms and legs. He was built before, but good food and farm work has also been kind to him. He doesn't want to give up any of his new pets or his stuff, so-- ] ... a square for a success?

[ Down to his white trousers and short sleeved shirt, feet bared, Kaspar is ready for whatever is about to happen. But first, he offers his hand to seal the deal. ]

[graftage]

Now that's a good prize.

[He reaches out - his hands aren't smooth, given his time on the farm growing up, but its a solid, firm, shake that he gives.]

May the best man win.

[bluminescence]

[ Neither are Kaspar's, given the callouses of his own childhood and the work here, but there are smooth grooves that survived and his handshake is warm. He mirrors the other's grip, but not firmer.

Kaspar nods as he steps back into place. Now, it is probably time to see who can apply the best technique they spied. ]

[graftage]

[Welp! Lucky number 13!]

[He'll give a nod, before he moves - and he's going at it a little slow than most, shifting one foot after the other. What he finds is...this is harder than he thought it would be. Even a small movement causes his foot to move forward, and he's scrambling to keep his balance.]

[He does eventually make it to the end, but as soon as he grabs the stick....well.]

[Trying to turn around is the hardest part, and as he shifts around, one foot moves way too fast, and he falls backwards with a loud yelp.]

Ah-!

{DOWN HE GOES!!]

[bluminescence]

[ Kaspar watches, clapping for him once he takes the stick. But alas, he falls and Kaspar doesn't laugh but his nose crinkles like he does anyway.

Unless Steinbeck looks like he needs some help, he moves to make his attempt.

He is the type that should be good at this, but has his klutz moments too. Maybe I shouldn't be surprised that rng blessed him with an 18.

So Kaspar jumps from foot to foot, bending his knees slightly as he takes some momentum into his start down the slide. He wavers back slightly but adjusts his balance with his arms enough to stay upright. His speed is a little faster than he intended, forcing him to lean back just enough to not topple over when he retrieves the stick.

He almost falls pushing himself back the other way, but the rules never said he couldn't use the stick to correct his balance. So he does without a thought. Both arms out, legs still bent, he succeeds in making it back.

Kaspar smiles by the end, more because he didn't get lube on his clothes and hair. This effortless look takes a little effort. But... it was also fun, so-- ]

... one more time?

[graftage]

[Annnd there he goes. As Steinbeck scrambles before managing to get shakily up onto his feet, lube sticking to his skin and clothes, he watches as Kaspar goes. Of course, he'll return the favor, letting out a "YEAH!" as the other grabs the stick.]

[But the man doesn't go through the same fate as him, and Steinbeck lets out an impressed whistle as Kaspar makes it back to solid ground.]

You make it look easy! [He pretends to pout, but his eyes are twinkling, merry.] And you want to go one more time? Haha, alright! I'll go for another round. Are you sure you just don't want to show off?

[bluminescence]

[ Kaspar smiles at the look in those eyes more than the pout. But he still glances at the lube spots. There's no gloating though, just the genuine acceptance of his own success.

He shakes his head no at the guesses as to motivations. ]

Perhaps, I'd like two squares.

[ Kaspar jokes airily. Really, it is fun enough that he would hardly press the issue. He gestures for the other man to go first with a small smile, just before he almost slips from the lube still on his feet. Smooth. ]

[graftage]

Two squares? You're really going for it.

[He realizes its a joke, but he's still squaring up, even stretching his arms back a little like he's prepared for an Olympic race.]

Maybe we can make that happen. I have to get back my dignity here, and-

[Oh, whoops, there he almost goes-! Steinbeck reaches out instinctively to grab at his wrist.]

Hey there, be careful. This stuff's no joke.

[bluminescence]

[ Kaspar welcomes the help when he slides, trying not to take the other man with him or slide directly into him. He shoots an arm out for a hold on Steinbeck to steady himself in the brief moment before he can get his feet solidly back under him.

Righted, he pauses with a breath of a laugh. And if the other isn't in danger of falling, Kaspar retreats with a nod to the slide. ]

[graftage]

You're doing okay?

[He does flick a worried glance at Kaspar's feet, but once he makes sure the other isn't about to slip to the great lube beyond, he lets out a relieved huff.]

There we go.

[And he detaches his hand, smiling - its time for his try! He pulls up his sleeves and pants again, ready to go.]

For that extra square-!

[And actually.....RNG IS GOOD TO HIM! He's much more careful this time, twirling after he grabs the stick with his tongue stuck out in concentration- and lands solidly. Time to get back. He's a bit eager by the end of it, and he stumbles a little....but manages to finish the course, letting out a little cheer.]

See? I can do it!
