Adult Swim [ action / dicated ]

 [ooc: No, he is not a peacock, but it was the only icon with the appropriate face, lol ]

[ Vanyel stared dubiuosly at the pool of seemingly quiet water, clear as glass so he could see the bottom of even smoother rock. Was rock supposed to be that smooth? It was just water, but the whole structure of the thing fascinated him - rails and steps and seemingly no point of entry for the water itself. He had been in natural springs before as big - the Taleydras adored them for their bathing - but this was a recreational sort of thing he had come to find out. It just seemed... odd. Not to mention it did not have the smell of a hot spring, nor the somewhat murky look to it.

But he was willing to give it a try, and a dip did sound nice with the warm weather of the summer. 

He had asked the Castle for appropriate swim wear, and it had given him odd, knee-length trousers colored blue and silver, and nothing else. Thankfully, Vanyel was not terribly shy about the half-naked thing, considering the Taleydras could also be social bathers - a sort of group, community thing were one talked and relaxed after a hard day. 

Finally, decided that staring at it would do him no good, he went to the steps and held the railing, slipping in and shivering as the cold hit him, though it was not unwelcome. Once he was in up to his knees, he bent and dove, enjoying the refreshing nature of it, blinking his eyes... oh... oh...!

He came up, spluttering, his journal on a nearby chair and delightfully open so people could hear him coughing.]


Havens, that burns! What sort of water is this?

[You might also be privy to him spitting out the chemically cleansed water, which tasted worse than the spring water ever had with its slightly sulfurous smell.]

Why would one ever want to swim in this?!

[Ah, the joys of a modern pool.]

Ah, that's alright...

Oh, uh. I think you're talking about the chlorine. It's supposed to keep the pool clean. I'm... not much of a swimmer myself, though, so I couldn't tell you, eheh.

[It took him a day just to learn how to swim 15 meters...]

Aa. I suppose you could ask the castle for a pair?

o-oh my ////////// (i am so sorry I am working with 15 icons right now)

[personal profile] not_mafia 2012-07-05 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm, that's right. They help you see underwater, and it keeps the chlorine out of your eyes, too.

oh man. is he a book chara?

I think they create a barrier between your eyes and the water...? [WHY IS HE ASKING HIM HE DOESN'T EVEN LIKE SWIMMING]
not_mafia: (9 years and 10 months)

Haha, I have no idea what that is. n-n;

N..not particularly.

[Tsuna, on the other hand, was once very nearly dragged into the afterworld by a particularly vengeful ghost.

It's safe to say that did nothing in improving his already ill feelings towards ghosts.]


Ah, I'd rather avoid them as long as possible..

I'm alright. I hear this place can be pretty crazy sometimes, but it doesn't really seem all that bad yet.
not_mafia: (scored another 0)

[personal profile] not_mafia 2012-07-10 12:52 am (UTC)(link)
If there is, I haven't seen or spoken to them yet. [And most of the people he knows like to make their presence known, so...]

Yfandes? [Possibly the oddest name he's heard thus far, and his tongue trips over it clumsily.]

[Tsuna notices the way the journal capitalizes the word.] Companion? Like a pet?

[A soft sound of amusement!] Ahh, but I don't mean that in a demeaning way!

A tour?

[He's taken a bit off guard by the offer. It's true that he'd been here a week already and was already starting to get a feel for the layout of the castle, but he wouldn't mind some reinforcement. Plus, it was likely there were locations that he had missed that Vanyel would know.]

Ah, okay. I would appreciate that, Vanyel-san.

[personal profile] not_mafia 2012-07-12 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
Ah-- it's a common Japanese honorific used to show respect. Even though we can talk in... whatever language this is... not using them felt wrong.

[A pause, and then:]

Where should I meet with you?

[Tsuna is sitting on the couch, a little fiery lion lying on his lap. Tsuna has a small smile on his face as he pets the creature before he looks up, looking around as though searching for something, before his eyes land on the man.]

Ah! Are you-- Vanyel-san?
