[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!)

Not even in your world?

[Do they not have see saws in her world? Strange.]

Not at all? [And he thought Richard was bad...]

Well, it's just that I always went on the swings or the monkey bars whenever I had time to go to the park.

[It's hard to play on a see-saw when you have no friends. :(]

I can see why. I just tried the swings for the first time here-- there really isn't anything quite like the feeling of flying you get from that. If I had my way, I'm not sure I would ever get off.

I didn't know you were that into them, Richard. [He always thought that the swings were alright, but never all that special.]

The swings are definitely my favorite, too! It's especially a lot of fun if you stand on the seat while you do it.

[GDIT Pao-Lin you are doing playground safety wrong -- ]

Stand on the seat?

[He's never heard of doing this before. IT SOUNDS KIND OF FUN, THOUGH. Screw being safe, let's live dangerously!]
