It's summertime! Out with the snow and the dark, here come the sun and sea, watermelons and slushies, long lazy days, and all the things that make summer wonderful.

Along with a few other things.

Honestly, your character loves summer. How can they not? They don't mean to spoil the fun. They could've been having a grand old time right now, if it weren't for...

1. The heat! No kidding, hot in summer? Who would've thought. The AC broke and the fan just can't keep up. What to do? Why, complain, of course.

2. The bugs! EEK! It's cockroach season! Or possibly the invasion of the bloodsucking horde. Pick up a shoe and join the defending army.

3. Allergies! You know what's nice about the bare trees in winter? They're bare. Is it September yet?

4. Those meddling kids! Some of us don't get summer vacation no more, you little bastards. Stop partying at all hours!

5. The crowds! The beach was a lot nicer when you didn't have to share it with approximately twenty two billion other people. Some of them in wildly unflattering swimsuits.

6. That one unbearably cheerful friend who thinks summer is really just the best thing and they will prove it to you if they must shove a gallon of ice cream down your screaming mouth.

7. Or something else equally annoying and horrid, because fuck summer.

Yeah, actually.

[surreptitiously looking around to see if anyone's with you]

Not my fault you don't have good taste.

Re: 1, have an overheated Ryuuji

[bigbrotherblue]

[They do! N-not that he's impressed or anything.]

WHAT YOU TRY HAVING TASTE WHEN YOU HAVE TWO BRATS TO RAISE AND A SEMPAI ALWAYS STEALING YOUR MONEY DO YOU WANNA FIGHT ABOUT THIS. [teeters some more]

Re: 1, have an overheated Ryuuji

[bows]

Not really. I'm having a lazy day, I can't be bothered to exert myself to get into a fight with anyone. Maybe you should try it. Take a seat, chill out, that kinda thing.

Re: 1, have an overheated Ryuuji

[bigbrotherblue]

WHAT.

[tries to jab you in the chest, but senses are so loopy at this point he's pointing at the empty space next to you] How dare you! How dare you come into my house [nevermind we're outside] and then tell me what to do?!

[jabs some more] I. won't. tolerate. my challenge being unaccepted.

[wobbles, to the point where one might just assume that he's really drunk]

Re: 1, have an overheated Ryuuji

[flightylikethewind]

We're... outside? In the sunshine? See all those cloudless blue skies? And it's a suggestion, that's all, not an order.

[handwaves airily and picks up a convenient drink from somewhere] Not my problem, guy. Find someone else to challenge if you want it that badly.

Re: 1, have an overheated Ryuuji

[bigbrotherblue]

[oh, we are outside!] I KNEW THAT. I was, um, testing you. I only accept the best opponents.

[last comment registers] I'LL FIGHT WHO I WANT WHEN I WANT. [makes a fist, charges]

[punches the tree behind you]

[passes out, face first]

Re: 1, have an overheated Ryuuji

[flightylikethewind]

[nods easily, taking another sip from the drink] Okay, if you say so.

[ducks to the side as that punch comes flying, juuuust in case]

...Well, that went well. [digs out his phone, the least he can do is call an ambulance for you]

Re: 1, have an overheated Ryuuji

[bigbrotherblue]

[how very kind of you]

[what's left of the tree falls on/around him]

Re: 1, have an overheated Ryuuji

[flightylikethewind]

[he's thoughtful like that]

[watches with slightly raised eyebrows as the tree comes down] Huh.

[moves the branches off you and reaches out to check your pulse, just in case]

Re: 1, have an overheated Ryuuji

[bigbrotherblue]

[He's a saint!]

[Soft groan-- mostly back to normal, but definitely not up to moving too much right now.]

Re: 1, have an overheated Ryuuji

[flightylikethewind]

[he has his good days XD]

[okay, movement is good, he's going to back off a little in case you come out swinging.]

You okay?

Re: 1, have an overheated Ryuuji

[bigbrotherblue]

[<3!]

[looks up... then remembers]

[hides face in shame] Yes...

Bzuh, Idk how I missed this last night, sorry. :(

[flightylikethewind]

Okay, good.

[tilts his head to the side, you're acting kinda different now]

<3

[bigbrotherblue]

[can't quite sit up right now, settles for picking leaves out his hair]

Please forgive my earlier actions. I have... a condition that affects my reasoning and behavior if I'm too hot. [eyes drink longingly] I don't suppose you have one of those to spare...?

Re: <3

[flightylikethewind]

[first time he's heard of something like that but whatever, he's not a doctor]

Give me a minute, I'll get one.

Re: <3

[bigbrotherblue]

[best attempt at a polite smile] Thank you very much, Mr... I don't believe I got your name while I was, um, trying to punch you. Apologies.

[now he's just going to lie against what's left of the stump and try not to pass out again, if that's all right]

Re: <3

[flightylikethewind]

Hakariya. And don't worry about it, it's not the first time someone's tried to punch me.

[hands over a nice cold drink with an umbrella in it] Here you go.

Re: <3

[bigbrotherblue]

Hakariya-san. [nods and smiles] And I'm Ryuuji. [boggles at the bit about punching, but is too loopy to properly question that, at least for now]

Thank you very much. [neatly picks out umbrella, then gulps it all down desperately]
