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!

[And so, the tides have turned. Steinbeck gets ready to cheer again, but...ah. Well, Luck is not on Kaspar's side, and so, he watches with wide blue eyes as the man makes a valiant effort to prevent his downfall, and fails with utter aplomb.]

Aw, well. All's well that ends well?

[Still, the man looks like he's having fun, what with that bout of laughter, and Steinbeck can't hesitate to grin as he comes over. He'll even reach over to pluck a glob of lube from his shoulder and flick it away.]

So we are! Let's see...

[He takes out his own bingo card to exchange, before looking over at Kaspar's card.]

Huh. We got a bit in common. [The bondage square, haha....but he points at the campfire square.] Hey, this should be fun. Its been a while since I've made a good campfire. I think you'd like it, if you haven't experience one already. Nothing like a nice bright bit of heat in a cool night.

[bluminescence]

[ Kaspar nods. And if he notices the bondage square in common, there is no reaction to it. But maybe he notices kiss. Or maybe he remembers Steinbeck's request from earlier. Whatever its source, impulse has Kaspar leaning over to return the other man's bingo card with a peck of a kiss aimed for his cheek.

An innocent gesture, with the subdued smile that follows his short retreat. ]

... a campfire. Tonight?

[graftage]

-!

[Oh. He wasn't expecting that - Steinbeck, in all his lax nature, has his eyes widen in pleasant surprise, glancing over. His hand naturally drifts to his cheek, before he brightens up in a grin.]

Tonight it is. I'll gather what we need. [The little kiss has given him some courage, and after a little pause, he asks, with eager eyes.] Hey, give me your hand for just a second.

[bluminescence]

[ Kaspar doesn't tell him, but he quietly plans to bring something to cook on the fire, perhaps tea. He realizes with some curiosity that their ideas of campfires may be very different.

The request brings him back, and he offers his hand without any real pause for consideration. An odd request, but Kaspar rather enjoys holding hands. And he is still far too accustomed to being the strongest person in any room. Of course, he watches intently. ]

[graftage]

Heh.

[Good. He'll take that hand gently, before bending down to press a light kiss to his knuckles. It feels a little funny to Steinbeck - it smacks of something like a knight would do to a prince in a fairytale, and he's very aware he's nowhere near princehood or knighthood, but...the gesture is what it is.]

There. [A little squeeze with his fingers, before pulling away.] For good luck for the rest of the day, I suppose.

[bluminescence]

[ No, that isn't what he expected! Kaspar can't help himself from breathing an unexpected little laugh. His favorite heroine, explorer of fantastical caverns and underground worlds, had a similar enough moment with the Fae that it hits him warmly.

He recites her line from the page, obviously rote with no expectation of recognition. The words fit anyway, but it may be obvious they aren't his alone. ]

... may this kindness light our briefly parted paths.

[ And once the other releases him, Kaspar takes his unhurried leave. Off to casually retrieve his belted holster and things.

Do we want an inbox or something, since he'll wander back here, glowing and all after nightfall. ]

[graftage]

[Its a nice saying - Steinbeck lets out a chuckle, unsure what he could answer to that, but the sentiment is nice, regardless. He'll wave as Kaspar moves away, before turning on his heel with a pleased hum, eying the woods for a future trip to gather wood.]

[And yes, an inbox would be lovely. :)]
