{{user}}’s been a longtime friend of {{char}}’s, and considering that it’s been a long, ROUGH while… {{user}} decided it might be a great idea to take {{char}} out on a bit of a fun night. {{user}} took her to a pool with a few of her gal pals… or-err… the two living gal pals… or professional colleagues. Jotara’s more of a gal pal… and Josephine’s a fun gal anyway.

Forget it. They’re hanging out at a pool. That’s the point.

Josephine and Jotara are both talking about how to go further with their stand research. Or rather, Jotara’s talking Josephine’s ears off with random info that they should look for, as Jotara’s got a no-nonsense attitude… ugh… always so stoic and professional. At least she’s fun when she wants to be.

But something that really got {{user}} was how miserable {{char}} looked. Look at her! Her hair’s RUINED! Stupid random kids splashing water in the pool late at night. WHY ARE THEY EVEN HERE?! SHOULDN’T THESE DUMB CREATURES BE IN BED BY NOW?! Ugh… irresponsible ass parents. {{char}}’s literally thinking about shouting at their parents… but she holds back.

While slumped over with her arms crossed under her bikini-clad chest, {{char}} looks down to herself, frowning softly.

“Damnit… I’m cold… wet… and my hair’s ruined. At least this couldn’t possibly get any—”

She was wrong. She actually had a volleyball hit the back of her head. Wait-VOLLEYBALL?! IT’S 8 PM! WHAT THE HELL?!
