Party at Crawford's Place — All Welcome!

Fired up with determination, Anthia valiantly fought against Vin and Tian. Of course, she could not touch Tian, so she was shoving at Vin trying to get her to slip. The sun elf felt very secure on Dorian's shoulders. He held onto her firmly. She attempted to out-twist the fae by forcing her arms further into a direction. The ideal situation it would mean a bit of a risk but would also cause the green girl to start leaning dangerously to the side. Meanwhile she tried to keep herself from leaning too far to the side. She didn't want to cause herself to fall off.

Thea smiled brightly "My new mom Iliya helped me, and Now I'm wearing it!" She said looking towards the pool. "I've never actually been in a pool before Cupcake, and I love you too. You look so adorable!!" She was so excited she couldn't stand still. There was just soo much for her to look at and take in.

She happily went to the pool and just sorta fell in. Waiting for Caelin to follow her, she hopped her friend could swim too. " You know what, two T-rexes could fit in here"

Jeff smiled and took off his shirt, and stuffed it in the same cubby as Nim. He barely got his phone into the cubby before Nim pulled him into the pool. 'There's a pool at my house Nim, if you wanted to go swimming we could've swam there." He said very much amused, as he wiped water from his face. He looked over at Sage as he walked over, and was very much focused on His bikini before quickly fixing his eyes back to something else. He had no idea what was going on between him and Nim and he didn't want to mess it up.

"Hello. I'm Jeff and this Nim. I hear you're running for Treasurer right?" He asked making sure not to leave Nim out the conversation but he was very obviously trying to get to know this pretty boy in front of him. It was nice to be surrounded by cute boys.

Tian fought with a fire normally only found within his actual flames. He wasn't as tall or as strong as Dorian, but he was quick and steady, and he used this agility to his advantage. He kept his balance well, tilting his body to balance out Vinnie's own sways, and darted forwards for offense and backwards for defense. They were doing well! "Knock 'em dead, Vinnie! Show 'em who's boss!"

Cupcake. Oh. Hm. Caelin liked that name. Yes. Yes, she very much liked that name very much a lot. It was a nice name. Cupcake. Yes.

Caelin giggled as she fell forward into the pool behind Thea. Water sloshed into her nose and eyes, but she just laughed harder, not really minding it. She'd had worse, and this was fun! "Its so cool that they helped you, Honeybunches of oats!" she said fondly, not realizing that she'd used a cereal title instead of a term of endearment, "And you're right! I bet, like, eight could!"

Nim just giggled as Jeff spoke, soaking up the cool pool water with a vigor he hadn't felt in ages. He used to love to swim, before... Things happened, and it had been too long, way too long. He was living this. "It slipped my mind!" Nim replied, grinning widely. He tried to keep his eyes on Jeff's eyes, but his abs kept calling to him too. Nim just hoped his now-clinging white shirt was enough to spark Jeff's interest too.

As some guy in a bikini - Sage Sinclair, right, he was running for treasurer - approached, Nim suddenly felt his good mood dampen. What was this? Why? IT was hot and weird. What was it?

Nim just waved and smiled as he was introduced, trying to put a finger on this feeling.

Sage grinned at the couple, acting especially cute without really meaning too. "Yes, I am! The name is Sage Sinclair. This isn't my event, but I'm so happy you two could make it. The water is wonderful, is it not?" To further his point, Sage did a little twirl in the water, the tassels of his bikini top swaying as he did.

Sage offered a smile to the two, pretending he didn't feel Jawline's — Jeff's — eyes all over his bathing suit. He felt obligated to say something, let he become the center of a jealous lover's quarrel, and did just that with an innocent smile on his face. "You two are quite a cute couple, too, might I add?"

---

Nim blushed and stuttered at Sage's proclamation. Couple? They weren't a couple... Were they? Should he dare to hope...? No! Jeff hadn't defined it yet, despite Nim's obvious hints, and so... he probably didn't want a relationship.

Nim was obviously embarrassed as he managed out, a little too forcefully really, "N-No! We aren't... We aren't an item or anything..."

Something ached in Nim's chest with that, but he didn't let it get to him. He ignored that other hot, pulsating feeling as well.

Thea Laughed at being called honey bunches off oats. She knew it was a cereal but she didn't exactly mind. She was just happy to have a cute friend who wanted to hang out with her. The kids back on Prax were all scared of her, even the ones who had powers too. "Yeah they're really great! i even got my own room and don't have to share" She said lightly splashing her friend.

"If there were dinosaurs in here, they would eat everyone else. We'd have to be careful" She said solemnly looking around at all the older people having fun.


——————————————————————————

Jeff rubbed the back of his neck, he could see the change in Nim and wasn't sure what to think. He did feel a little guilty but he had long since come to terms with Nim just wanting to be his friend, after everything. Like he knew that he was horrible to Nim at the beginning and he deserved not to have his feelings returned. "Thank Y-, Yeah...we're not..together" He quickly put on his mask. The mask he didn't think he needed to wear around Nim.

"Yeah, we're just really close friends. Though, Why haven't I seen you around?" He had subtly moved towards Sage and away from Nim. he didn't want to admit that Nim had hurt him with his words. "So you're running for treasurer...why?"

@Penguin

Even Anthia was surprised by Dorian's actions, but she went along with it by moving her arms into a shoving position. Hopefully with the combination of brute force and movement they would be able to win. Sure enough, Vin was wobbling about ready to fall over. She giggled gleefully; they won! Well, not quite yet. Suddenly the falling female wrapped her arms around the elf. The elf shrieked as she started falling forward as well! She was too tiny with not enough strength to support the weight of the fae.

Anna was a little bit late to the party but that was okay. She wore a cute little onepiece swimsuit covered in cat face and little pink goggles hung around her neck. This was Dorian's party, but it was also a student council event so she'd packed her bag with lots of copies of her handmade campaign pamphlets. She'd hand them out if other people were gonna hand theirs out but it was a party! Parties should be fun!! She swung by Dorian to give him a super fast "hidoriannicepartygoodluckintheelections" before cannonballing into the deep end of the pool with a happy shriek.


Cat hovered about the party, avoiding the crowded areas. She had found a bathing suit to wear, but she wore a regular t-shirt and khaki shorts over top. She got a few sidelong glances from people, but for the most part she was ignored. Exactly what she wanted, though she could do without the few glances from those who noticed her and thought she was weird. She'd come to support Dorian and his campaign, but she'd sorely underestimated just how popular her boss was.

There was too many people there for her comfort, too much skin showing, too much noise. It was making her dizzy. Cat attempted to escape, but she'd trapped herself in the furthest corner from the gate and every time she made to leave, a new group would block the path.
