WHO: Steve and You?
WHERE: Agrii ship in the water area
WHAT: A pool party!!
WHEN: Around debates time
WARNINGS: Not sure, will edit!

Steve has been trying to get in touch with the Agrii for days now without any luck. So far it's mostly just been hanging out by the water. And a few of them can really hold their breath a long time, it seems. They seem uneasy if he swims too far, so he sticks by the shallower bit of the pool for now.

If nothing else, the lush greenery is a nice change of scenery, and some days there's all this bountiful delicious food, such that he hasn't had better since before arriving here.

So, one day, after fruitlessly searching around by himself and not finding any better leads, he invites a few fellow He-Rows over for what appears to be a pool party. It's open to anyone who happens to make it through the thick botany, and he's definitely trying to encourage the younger Agrii to come play with them. Food and drink are just from the mess hall, and the games are simple ones like a hand-drawn deck of cards, and sitting on each other's shoulders trying to knock off your opponent.

If anyone wants to play that game with him, he'd definitely make a better root than pusher - don't worry, he'll be sure to keep his balance, so long as your character wants to keep playing.

Partway through he gets tasked with going back to get more ice or snacks or something, so feel free to bump into him then or in his yellow speedo (that he most definitely did not pick out himself) and towel, gathering supplies. You'll definitely score an invitation if you ask.

Then, when the 'party' starts winding down, Steve's maybe a little disappointed in not having made much progress, though he's sure a few of the younger Agrii might be coming around to them, so it's not entirely a fruitless endeavor. But he's gotten his hands on a piece of paper and graphite, and he might even ask your character to stand still for a second, as they look really nice under this foliage, and it'll just take a few minutes, if they don't mind.

[ OoC: Feel free to respond to any of the things Steve is doing or throw up your own toplevel so other people can tag you at the 'party'! ]

As both pairs run at each other, Jan's not shy about grappling with the newly met Jon, gripping hard just below his shoulders, twisting and pushing as she tries to topple him. "Sounds like either way I get pair of hands on me," she laughs, "Sorry you'll have to miss out. I'm normally very charming, I promise, most of the time I won't be trying to drown you."

Jon's profound lack of enthusiasm didn't seem to be discouraging, only the pat earning a response as Tony lifted his chin happily into it, head still tipped back too far to try to smile up at Jon when he should have been more concerned about Jan's aggressive opening. It had him stumbling to find the sure footing he should have established sooner, locking in on Steve with a challenging glare to make up for the performance.

Unlike possibly everyone else involved, Jon has exactly zero experience if it comes to any form of hand-to-hand combat and his physical strength is sufficient to hold an umbrella on a rainy day. A rainy day that lacks any sort of notable wind. He is barely prepared for Jan throwing herself at him and as a result shrieks in response to the very decisive contact. The only real counter that Jon doesn't even think about but simply does is wrapping his arms aroud her in a rather weird hug.

Well, it's a technique Jan's not super familiar with at least, she'll give him that much. It prompts a surprised laugh, but it does at least promise mutual destruction if she pushes him off Tony without detangling from him first.

"You're going down," she promises.
