All Fubuki had to do was want something and Otogi did all within his power to provide it. And getting this set up was no trouble at all. He was glad that most plumbing these days was plastic. Iron or steel would've been out of his reach.

"They'll show up," he said, leaning back some to watch Fubuki. "And even if they don't, we can have a party of our own."

[blizzardprince]

"We can still do that later," Fubuki agreed cheerfully. "But a party is good too. This is going to be the best Christmas party."

[green_eyed_dice]

"Yeah. And I think a lot of people could use it." Though he doubted most of those who did would even bother. Stress was bad for the complexion. So he didn't bother with it.

[blizzardprince]

"Everybody could use a chance to relax once in a while," said Fubuki. Although in his case, it was a rare day when he actually found something to worry about. "Maybe some of the guys will show up. Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen Ryou in swimgear."

Ahiru had never been to a pool party before. She wasn't sure what to expect when she arrived, but she thought it sounded like fun. At least there would be swimming - something she'd been wanting to do since it'd turned too cold.

Under Ahiru's dress, she wore a simple yellow swimsuit. She also carried her own towel. If there were going to be a lot of people at this party, she wasn't sure if the hosts would have enough towels. Bringing her own had seemed like a good idea just in case.

At Paj-Pente, Ahiru knocked on the door.

[blizzardprince]

Fubuki brightened immediately as he heard the knock on the door.

"Hey!" he called cheerfully. "Come on in - the water's fine!"

[ballet_duck]

Ahiru blinked and looked up at the handsome young man. He seemed cheerful and nice, and that brought a smile to Ahiru's face. "Thank you," she said as she stepped inside and looked around.

[blizzardprince]

"You're a little early - not too many other people are here yet," said Fubuki, "but go ahead and make yourself at home. I'm Fubuki, and this is Otogi. Who are you?"

Asuka had gotten herself a swimsuit back when the weather was warmer. She'd even swum in the lake a few times. But she had put it away as the temperature dropped...until now. She was not at all surprised at what her brother was doing. It was just like him.

And strangely, it appealed to her. She didn't get out as much as she might have liked, so she put away her sketching and cards, got out the suit and a towel, and headed right over to Paj-Pente, knocking once she got there.

[blizzardprince]

Fubuki, enjoying his role as host, bounded out of the water and went to answer the door.

"Asuka, hi!" he greeted. He pulled his sister into a bear hug, ignoring the fact that he was still dripping wet.

[asuka_tenjoin]

Asuka was not surprised by the bear hug or the water coming off of him. "It's good to see you, too." They didn't spend as much time together as she would have liked, despite living only a few doors apart.

[blizzardprince]

"I didn't know you were coming," said Fubuki, obviously very pleased to have been surprised. "Come on in and make yourself at home. Say hello to people."

Elena appeared, bundled up in her snow clothes over her bathing suit, towel in hand.
"Wow, that hot tub looks great! I'm glad we're doing this. This is going to be so much fun!"
Wincing at the cold, she peeled off her clothes, revealing a yellow swimsuit that matched her petite frame perfectly.

[blizzardprince]

"Come in and join us! There's plenty of room for one more," Fubuki greeted. It occurred to him with some amusement that aside from himself and Otogi, he'd somehow managed to throw a party and have nothing but girls show up. Granted, one of them was his sister and the other was just a kid, but still... it was almost like being back in school.

[elaney_bird]

Hastingly, she lowered herself into the steamy water, sighing in delight.
"Aaahh... That hits the spot!"

[blizzardprince]

"Yeah, I figured a lot of people could use a place to kick back and thaw out," Fubuki agreed. "I don't know about you, but as far as I'm concerned, it can't thaw out fast enough!"
