EVENT: Summer Days

[1000_npcs]

It has been a hot summer for Budehuc this year, and yet there is little to no signs about it coming to an end, even if the next season is expected to show around sometime in the near future.

The warmth of the sun seems to be inviting just about anyone to the lakeside, including the builders and locals from the neighbouring towns of Iksay and Nor. Some have come for the serenity and beautiful scenery, while others just want to have a swim or enjoy some water games. Keep your eyes out for flying beach balls and frisbees!

It's pretty damn far, and I know more people back here, anyway. 'sides, it feels... wrong to go back. [ Lazy handwave. ] Same places looking different, too many memories, yada...

'n why're you stayin' here?

[belfar_agent]

What, you don't want me around or something? Just where is someone like me supposed to go?

[fierce_marauder]

Jumpin' to conclusions again, I see.

Just makin' conversation. You're not really bound here anymore than me.

[belfar_agent]

Don't ask stupid questions!

There is not a single place in this world that would make me feel connected to my home.

[fierce_marauder]

Sure. When you ask it's fine, but mine's a stupid question.

[ He rolls his eyes, too interested in staying relaxed to deal with her difficult behaviour. ]

Well, that's that, then.

[belfar_agent]

...

[ Squirts him with a water gun. ]

[fierce_marauder]

[ Had thought the conversation was over, so hew as in the middle of closing his eyes to shut her out when he gets hit with the stream of water. ]

Wha-- hey!

[ He reaches out to grab the gun, more in amusement than annoyance. ]

[belfar_agent]

[ She slaps his arm away with her other hand as she steps back. ]

Are you really trying to disarm a gun expert? How amusing! Do you know who I am?

[fierce_marauder]

[ He says it fairly dryly: ]

No, I ain't got a clue, princess.

[ He seems even more entertained now, though, and only hesitates momentarily before pulling a nearby beach ball close and flinging it at her. ]

[belfar_agent]

Wh--asifsagv

[ The ball bounces right off her boob before she can even react. She looks down at her targeted area before giving him a glare again. ]

What the hell are you aiming at, you creep!

[fierce_marauder]

[ Oh. ]

... Oops...?

[ Holding his hands up in a kind of placating gesture. ]

[belfar_agent]

Have you nothing to say for yourself, pirate? Tell me, how would you like to go down? [ She aims her gun, switching back and forth between aiming at his head or his lower region. ]

[fierce_marauder]

[ Still with his hands up. ]

This is a trick question, ain't it? You're gonna' do the opposite. Or both.

[belfar_agent]

Tell me, do pirates make the rich walk the plank in this world, too?

[fierce_marauder]

Nooo idea.

[belfar_agent]

[ Smiles wryly, still pointing her "weapon". ]

You do not know? How about I make you walk the plank? If you walk off the docks and let yourself fall into the water, I will forgive your recent act of indecency.

[fierce_marauder]

[ He... He can live with that. He takes a step towards the docks. ]

Hey, if it means not getting shot...

[ He tilts his head towards her "weapon" a little, still wearing a wry smile. ]
