week 1, wednesday, pool

[shaft]

[ After developing abs from laughing so hard during the debates, Claude is feeling decidedly relaxed as he heads to the pool, floating there peacefully until he hears footsteps.

He doesn't swim over though, just waving lazily. ]

Busy day?

[chevaliered]

[ lisa says he’s a twink though and why would lisa lie to me do you think people lie on the internet? ]

Interesting day.

Do you think a hotdog is a sandwich?

[shaft]

Crow. [ HE'S NOT A TWINK ] I think it's a sub-type of sandwich.

[chevaliered]

Well now you’re just getting fancy. “Sub-type” of sandwich?

[shaft]

Are you saying there can be only one category of sandwich?

[chevaliered]

A sandwich is a sandwich?

[ i hate that we're starting this here. anyway pool boy, crow's just gonna sit by the edge of the pool. ]

[shaft]

That's such a narrow way of looking at things.

[ he's just floatin' ]

Aren't things more exciting when you open yourself up to new possibilities?

[chevaliered]

[ he splashes him, like an asshole. ]

Yeah but counting a hotdog in that? That's it's own thing. Don't do them a dirty like that. Next you'll be telling me you have bread hands.

[shaft]

[ hey!! gives him a halfhearted glare ]

Bread hands? What is that?

[chevaliered]

Caleb sticks his hands in bread to keep them warm.

[ lil' splish. less a splash. ]

[shaft]

...

[ He just starts laughing. Because.

This place is so ridiculous and everyone is insane, and he doesn't know what else to do. ]

[chevaliered]

Careful you don't get a stitch, I'd have to dive in and rescue you.

[ honestly though? valid. he kinda chuckles when he thinks about it too. ]

[shaft]

Hmm.

[ He grins at Crow, moving so that he's no longer floating but instead upright in the water. ]

You're encouraging me to sink.

[chevaliered]

[ spoon that fucking icon ]

Do you think I'd end up stuck in one of those crap expulsions for sitting at the edge of the pool while you drowned from laughing at bread hands?

It sounds so wild and weird that it seems fake.

[shaft]

[ it's just an icon ]

It does seem incomprehensible, but here we are. [ He swims over to the edge, folding his arms there so he can pillow his chin atop them. ] I wouldn't try and aim for that end.

[chevaliered]

[ terrible ]

I don't want to end up like that, but if they count it as a kill then--

[ siiiigh. ] A tragedy.

And yup. Here we are. Folding paper planes and tending to bees and acting like that's totally normal.

[shaft]

It's good to be adaptable. [ sleepy ] Though I wonder how long this charade will last.

[chevaliered]

[ don't fall asleep in the pool you useless anti-monsterfucker. ]

Two weeks so far. If it's how we're getting vouchers? Until the end.

[shaft]

Is getting vouchers the be all end all of this place?

[chevaliered]

If you get enough you might be able to ask for a ticket home.

[ smile ]

[shaft]

Isn't that just the reward for graduating?

[chevaliered]

Ahead of dragging around asses around here until a year is up or all of us get killed off somehow, if what happened last week turns into a pattern.

[shaft]

[ ... ]

Did you hear that from someone?

[chevaliered]

No, I'm just cynical. You know like when you see something start tumbling down the hill and you hope it'll stop, but know it could just keep going?

Hope for the best, expect the worst.

[shaft]

[ ... ]

That's remarkably cynical. You're not one to hope?
