[Action]

[Richard had missed out on many of the simple pleasures one would enjoy in life, and so, at times, he would come to Asbel to indulge in those pleasures.

Now is one such time, as he had pleaded with Asbel to come with him to the playground in Luceti. You know, the one situated near the school? The young man had wanted to go to the playground, but one does not simply play on the playground, especially by themselves. They need a playmate!

And so these two grown men are attempting to play on the playground, on attractions not really for people of their size. Swings, a slide, jungle gym, you name it. Feel free to catch them at the playground if you like.]

[Accidental Voice]

[At one such point during their adventures on the playground, Asbel's journal falls to the ground, opening up and recording a conversation between the two.]

Richard, you need to push harder than that. You're barely getting me up!

I thought I told you that this was my first time doing this, Asbel.

I know that, but I didn’t think you’d be this bad at it!

It isn’t exactly my fault that you’re so heavy, you know.

H-hey, I don’t weigh much more than you do.

Perhaps we should change positions...

Do you really think that’ll work?

It might be worth a try.

Ahh... Alright. I guess I should get off, then. …W-wait, Richard, don’t move! I can’t hold on anymore! [A loud crash as something heavy hits the ground.]

Asbel! Are you all right?

[A little dazed, but not too bad off.] Y... Yeah, I’m fine. [He tries to get back to his feet, brushing the journal shut with his hand as he moves.

The seesaw is a cruel mistress.]

((ooc: Dualpost with Asbel and Richard! Asbel is red and Richard is green. One or both may reply to responses!)

...huh? [wait... Crap! The journal was on! Okay, just act natural, Asbel.]

Well, I think Richard only planned on asking me.

You're welcome to join as well, though I'm not sure how we would fit three people on this seesaw. It's a bit small for even the two of us.

That's okay, I'll just hop on the middle or wherever there's room!

[Sorry if she's going to be interrupting your little manly bonding session, gentlemen.]

You guys just stay there and keep doing the whole seesawing thing, okay? Buh-bye!

[Here she comes, running as fast as her legs can carry her towards the playground.]

[Okay, that was weird. Asbel's got his back to the village, of course, so he won't see her coming.]

I've never seen someone so excited over a see-saw.

I can't say I have either. Then again, Pascal isn't exactly known for her restraint where enthusiasm is concerned.

[Richard, on the other hand, will have a perfect view as she approaches. Should he say anything or should he not? ... he'll go with not.]

[Once she's close enough, Pascal practically throws herself at the seesaw and whoever might be standing between her and the joys of rocking back and forth on an attraction meant for children

If Asbel doesn't turn around soon then he's getting tackled by a flying Amarcian.]

Haha... Yeah, I guess you're right there. We can't really fau--

--Guwaah! [SUDDEN INCOMING FLYING AMARCIAN?! Asbel goes crashing to the ground!]

[And of course since Richard was on the end that was up in the air, the sudden removal of Asbel's counterbalancing weight will result in him also crashing to the ground with a thud, falling right off the seesaw in the process.

Whoops.]

[Wow, if you're both just going to flop around on the floor then Pascal is going to steal Asbel's seat on the seesaw. After she's recovered from slamming into him that is.]

You better not be getting up to any hanky panky down there boys. What would Sophie think if she could see you?

[Honestly you guys. Sheesh.]

Come on, get up, lets go go go!

Pascal... [Slowly, Asbel tries to sit up.]

What are you talking about?

I somehow doubt a see-saw is the best place for that kind of thing, as we just learned.

[Ow. That definitely hurt.]

[Don't pretend you don't know Asbel. You know. Richard knows.]

But you're not on a seesaw, you're on the floor now! [...] Wait, you were trying to get all hanky panky on a seesaw?

[Eeew gross, and she's sitting on it now. ]

What? [Now Asbel gets what she means.] N-no, no way!

As much as I enjoy the playground, I think that would count as enjoying it a little too much.

Hmm...

[Well it would probably be about ten different kinds of awkward to try and do anything hanky panky related on a seesaw. Okay, she'll let this slide. For now.]

Y'okay, I don't even wanna know how you would manage it even if it was true. I mean, you two, just bouncin' up and down with each other on this thing... Cheria would flip out!

[Geez, Pascal, such a filthy mind.]

Y-yeah...

Flip out, or want to watch?

[He saw those comics Cheria brought home, man. And he bets she read them all.]

[It's about as clean as the rest of her body when she's around these two and their hanky panky-ness. Not very.]

Flip out, duh! She'd probably be all 'You guuuys, how could you?!' or something like that. [...] But to flip out in the first place she would need to watch you guys anyway. Oh well!

[... What comics.]

No way. [He just chuckles a bit.] Cheria'd never overreact that much.

[Just giving Asbel a Look. You're joking, right? Please tell him you're joking.]

Yeaaah, you're probably right...

[...]

It'd be way worse than that!! The whole barrier would end up shakin' and everyone would be able to hear Cheria screaming about you two having the hots for each other on top a see-saw!

Hey, maybe that's our ticket out of here! I'll call Cheria over right now, her super sonic screaming will resonate with the barrier and break us a way outta here!

[He's so used to her behavior that a lot of her overreacting is normal to him, okay.]

I don't think that's a very good idea.

I think it's far more likely that her super sonic screaming will break our eardrums rather than the barrier.

Better cover your ears when she loses it. Just make sure you dive for the barrier when a hole opens up so keep your eyes peeled!
