[ Slip on your swimsuit, grab your towel, put on a pair of sunglasses, and come on over— it's time for a pool party! Maybe you were invited by Jim, Victor or Lucy— they do have a bunch of friends, after all. Well, mostly Jim. What's that? You don't know any of them? Well, that's no problem! They've made sure to tell their friends they can invite whoever they want. Friends of friends, distant acquaintances, coworkers, what have you. All are welcome! There's a sweet as hell pool in their backyard now, a new addition to the house, so it's kind of like a debut. There's music playing, a wide range of styles that go from dance music to classical rock, and there are chairs, a covered seating area, and a few extra towels near the pathway to the pool just in case you forgot to bring your own. There are a bunch of floats both in the water and along the edge of the pool for everyone to help themselves to as they wish, and in addition to that there are a number of fun pool party games you can take up— water balloon fighting, balls available for some playful water polo, and whatever other game you can come up with. Feeling hungry or thirsty? Not a problem! There are several drinks and cocktails (anything alcoholic safely kept away from kids), and a bunch of snacks and sweets. To add to that, there's a nice barbecue set up near the grassy patch next to the pool, and a supply of ribs, burgers, sausages and corn is made available throughout the party. (Oh, and there's also a tiny porg and a water-loving dog.) So what are you waiting for? Come on in and have a blast! ]

[this is the SECOND party jim has now managed to drag cassian to, which is quite the accomplishment! jyn picked out his swimtrunks, mostly because she came home with both hers and his from the goodwill and threw them at him. they're kind of ridiculous, but he likes them? he shows up wearing them and a gray t-shirt, bringing a small pasta salad just because it seemed like a nice thing to do. people bring food to parties? maybe? what is this suburban nonsense.]

[he finds he likes to swim for leisure, taking a few minutes now and then to just race himself across the pool, but he wouldn't say no if someone challenged him. after he finishes, he leans against the side and takes a sip of the water he's left along the edge.]

[when he's not hanging out in the water, he's playing fetch with the dog (throwing the toys into the pool or out on the grass), because pets are great; or he's lounging out in the sun, basking in how warm it is and unconcerned about getting sunburnt. he's trying to do this thing the kids call Relaxing? it's a new concept, really trendy.]

[feel free to throw a water balloon at him, because that's the only way he'll get dragged into a firefight, but be careful, because his aim is pretty deadly.]

[ here is jyn, in the shade, shoulders already pink from the sun, glowering at cassian relaxing in the warm sun without care at all.

what a dick. ]

It's not fair, [ she whines. ] We're both from snowy planets.

[ how come he gets to be tan and she is the color of that karking snow. ]

[evasives]

[he is trying not to grin because that would be mean. it doesn't work, he's too amused, but at least it's fond.]

[he does get up to come over and sit closer to her though. he likes being by her, so whatever. if he's still partially in the sun, it's also whatever.]

But your parents were not from that planet, yes? Mine were both also from Fest.

[realists]

No, [ she admits begrudgingly. grange was, as far as she knows, a dismal, flat planet with fields and fields and fields and so many hyperspace jump ports. it was one of papa's complaints, not that he ever wanted to go back. aria prime was hot though, a warm red-gold coast overlooking small seas. her mother said it was something of an haven for artists, her grandmother had been one. ]

My mother's planet was warm.
