18 [Action/Accidental Voice]

[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!)

Hey, I just haven't had a chance to do this since I was a kid, okay? I can share if she wants a turn. [So rude, Richard.]

[Action]

[lostinmyway]

[She stops next to Asbel, smiling at them both.]

It's all right. I can wait until you're done.

[Action]

[ledbythewind]

That all depends on who you'd prefer to ride with.

[Action]

[drawnbythesword]

[Asbel stops, climbing off the balancing toy. Try not to fall off, Richard.]

Here, you can have my spot.

[Action]

[lostinmyway]

[And now her smile turns just about brilliant.]

Oh, thank you!

[She sits down in his place. Good thing she remembered her underwear today, just in case there are any...unfortunate accidents.]

[Action]

[ledbythewind]

[Richard of all people is probably the least likely to be distracted by something like that, but Asbel... well, that could be disastrous. So yes, it is a very good thing.]

Now, just hold on tight.

[And he'll push off, lifting his end up and lowering her end down. See? Nice and easy!]

[Action]

[drawnbythesword]

[It'll be full of blushing and flailing. And being murdered by Cheria.]

[Action]

[lostinmyway]

[Grune giggles and instinctively pushes off when her feet touch the ground. And up she goes!]

My, it goes high up, doesn't it?

[Action]

[ledbythewind]

Is this your first time on a see saw, Grune?

[It's just a guess from her reactions, but he wouldn't be too surprised.]

[Action]

[drawnbythesword]

It's Richard's first time too. [So many people that haven't ridden see-saws before.]

[Action] 1/2

[lostinmyway]

[She answers Richard first...well, sort of.] Hmm.... I wonder.

[Action]

[lostinmyway]

[Fortunately, Asbel's comment shakes her out of her memory lapse and a smile replaces the rather blank look she had just been wearing.]

My, really? Is it your first time, Asbel?

[Action]

[ledbythewind]

[Richard just hides a smile, waiting to see how Asbel will answer this.]

[Action]

[drawnbythesword]

What? No, I've done it plenty of times! ...When I was little.

[Action]

[lostinmyway]

Oh, then you must know a lot about them!

[Action]

[ledbythewind]

Yes, I've heard rumors that Asbel is something of an expert on see-saws.
