Verse 05 -- Video

[poeticverses]

[This takes place after they've been in the warm waters for a bit.

This is the most excited, happy Jehan you have ever seen. Someone heard from a kedan about the water and he's ecstatic. He's from Cannes, from the shore. He's missed going to the beach, and now he gets to.

He's in R's suite, so you might hear the drunk bitching about an overly excited puppy of a poet, but Jehan does not care. He does not care at all.]

We, apparently, are now in the warmest waters the kedan have ever seen, and they are a wonderful, clear blue. Therefore, I am insisting that all of our friends join Grantaire, Bryn, and myself for a trip down to the edge for swimming. We will be leaving as soon as we've supplies for a full day at the edge. If you'd like to join us, please meet us in the Wood Sector.

[He grins and starts to shut off the feed before remembering something. He blushes]

Ah...with the reprieve we've been granted, it might quickly become...indecent for young children or particularly gentle women. Just...as a warning.

[The modifier on "women" is because of Bryn. Jehan shuts the feed off, yelling something off screen at R.]

((ooc: This is going in a separate log here in a second because there is going to be alcohol, smoking, and likely nakedness because men didn't have actual "swimsuits" until the 1840s and these guys predate that. So.))

[lecentre]

Oh, a swim sounds perfect just about now! You know I will join you.

[poeticverses]

And to think Grantaire didn't want me to invite you.

[lecentre]

To think! It would simply not be the same without me.

[cynisme]

For God's sake don't invite your Pontmercy friend. I do love him as much as I do any of you, but I know a whistle-blower when I see one and when it comes to indecency, I see one in Pontmercy.

[lecentre]

I am sure he is far too distracted by his lady to even consider a request... But, dear R, you realize that he can see this invitation as clearly as anyone else. And thus, despite our belief that he would not fare well in the situation, he is still going to see the invitation and may decide to join us on his own.

[cynisme]

And that, my friend, is where you come in, as the owner of this particular little dog. Should he come sniffing around, we leave it to you to turn him in the other direction without a whiff of what we've gotten up to.

[lecentre]

You cannot possibly hold me completely responsible for his decisions... It is not as though he will listen to my every word.

[cynisme]

I can hold you completely responsible for whatever I want, and today I choose to hold you entirely and completely responsible for one lovesick child called Marius.

[lecentre]

That is simply not fair, Grantaire. I do not care for this responsibility.

[cynisme]

Then you should have thought about that two years ago when you decided to bring him along.

[not here woot]

[saisamour]

[ WOW RUDE you guys realize he can see this do you

also ARE YOU BOTH MAKING FUN OF HIM ;~;

brb holing himself inside his room/avoiding everyone for the hundredth time/running to cosette 8'( ]

[poeticverses]

My thoughts exactly. No outing is complete without someone to complain about salt on their coat.

[He laughs]

...however, I agree with Grantaire regarding Pontmercy. The poor man might faint.

[lecentre]

I will leave my coat behind to prevent you from having to listen to the complaints that would follow.

[He makes a face, but is laughing as well.]

And my hat as well, so I do not lose it in the water. Do not worry, I am in agreement that he would not fare so well with the nudity.

[poeticverses]

Or the way we tend to get when drunk.

[lecentre]

Or the mixture of both. We are thinking of his sanity, truly.

[poeticverses]

Precisely. Meet us near R's suite.

[lecentre]

On my way!

[Which, since they're in the same tree, doesn't take long.]
