THE POOL IS LAVA
Who: Shin, Subaru, Lucifer, anyone else who wants in on this nonsense really
What: We're turning the pool into (fake?) lava
When: 9/11, Saturday Evening, Same time as the Sleepover
Where: The Pool
Warnings: Mild Burns? The fridge horror of possibly being why a corpse is charred.

So Shin and Subaru had an idea, and they asked dad (Clamor) and dad said no, ask other dad, so then they asked other dad (Lucifer) and are now his problem. Now they're all in the pool, in the dark, about to commit crimes against pool safety.

Ah, r-right. Should... probably take this off, huh?
[He takes off his scarf and buries it under his jacket and beanie before the smell can get to him and ruin his day, and places them in a pile beside the pool while he wonders how hot is 'a touch too hot' as because usually 'too hot' for most people is often 'pleasantly warm' for him, but this is kind of an indicator in it's own right. He guesses he'll just have to find out...
He takes a cautious, wobbly step in, arms grabbing at air and then spreading for balance, and then windmilling a little as his feet start to sink a bit. His shoes are very warm. It's a bit like walking on a really rain-soaked lawn, the way the ground just gives under the grass and sucks at your shoes and he's going from foot to foot swaying, keeping to the border just in case but also looking down at the glow with what he'd say is interest but which is clearly delight.]
Ahaha.... you really do float!
[He's going to try and jump and... that's too much and he falls over on his back on the lava, rip.]
no subject
Oh well, burnt kids. That just sort of happens.]
Be careful, you two. [Mostly because he's not sure if this is going to get him extra tallies or not.] Make sure to come out of there if it gets too hot to handle.
[Or don't. He's not your dad. Well, okay, he kind of is?]
no subject
[you know. the sort of "kay" someone gives when they acknowledge you but won't. take it too seriously. right now. ahaha, this is sooo cool..! he can't wait to tell everyone how... weirdly soft but in a sort of goopy way it is... and how hot it is... oh, he's gonna have to taste this later too...]
no subject
Urk!
[Hang on let him try to lever himself up, this is like every PSA about quicksand except also about waterbeds, or, well, an entire pool filled with something too dense to swim in but too goopy to return all of the force it's pushed on with. He does manage to roll over and from there grab the pool edge and pull himself out though.]
A...ha... I'll take that under advisement...
[Message received on both counts! He's going back in again but... no jumping for sure this time. He's heading over to where Subaru is as well, because a thought has occurred to him.]
...Hey, do you... think this works like glass?
[Molten glass is basically cleaner lava, right?]
no subject
Whatcha mean?
[...]
Like, can we make glass out of it? Or those cool orbs people do?
[th... the glass blowers, honey]
no subject
[You can't be on the internet any length of time and not get mesmerised by at least one.]
Not sure about glass exactly but... think about it.
[Subaru's handprints are slowly filling in. With the small hisses of someone trying to get a still-too-hot cookie out of the oven Shin tries to get a pinch of the stuff and pull it up into a peak... it starts oozing back down almost immediately but this is definitely not something water does.]
We've got a whole pool of it right now...
no subject
[shin's right. the possibility is there, and subaru presses his lips together tight as he tries to scoop some with a finger onto the edge of the pool.]
Let's try beads first. We'll know how they look from there.
[they can try and make them into cool shapes once they know what they're dealing with.]
no subject
You can take it out of the pool with no problems. It should cool down like glass normally would, but I do have to warn you it'll turn back into water eventually.
[Like, he knows they know, but he has to say it in case somewhere in their heads their hopes are up or something.]
no subject
[His hopes, dashed! No but it's interesting to mess around with while it lasts. He's struggling to remember the last time he just did... something stupid and fun like this. Maybe he never did... that's a depressing thought. He's not even sure how this happened, actually.]
Ahaha... might be easier if we...
[He casts about a bit for something they can use so they don't end up burning their fingers too much, and well... this is the start of the end for the particular pool mop he finds and drags to the edge, puffing a little at the destination.]
...use this to get it out.
no subject
but whatever that is a five minutes into the future problem, for now subaru's gonna stand and help shin out however he can!!!]
Good idea! Let's get a whole bunch before this thing passes to the next life!
[this poor mop... it deserves a gorinto too]
no subject
Just don't whip each other, and I'll let you borrow it.
[Please please do not whip each other.]
no subject
Wait why are they being handed a whip... Shin would also like for please no whipping of each other to occur. Clearly the best way to achieve this is to claim it first.]
G-got it. Thanks...
[He takes it and unrolls it like it's a strange object and then just thumps it down onto the lava... nothing much happens except the whip is now lying on the lava.]
Actually, Subaru... you take this. ...I'll use the mop. [He's changed his mind, you can probably actually get some whipping action out of it. I'm now imagining a little mop gorinto made out of lava bits.]
no subject
[oh, shin. you have made such a mistake. he knows lucifer said not to use it against one another, but much like a boy with a damp towel he grins and backs up a bit, definitely going be... practicing... trying to whip the lava-water, innocent as can be...☆
for now. he's definitely going to whip shin's ass at an undetermined point of time.]
no subject
Lucifer sort of stands there for a moment before deciding, eh, good enough, Subaru's entertained with whipping lava-water? He could teach the kids how to properly use a whip, but then if they decide to kill each other later, that might backfire. ...but also it would be really fucking funny— okay no.
...]
You're standing in a way that's going to throw off your aim. Remember that you're putting full upper body force into utilizing a whip properly, so if you stand weakly, you're going to tip yourself over.
[Nevermind he's doing this.]
no subject
subaru'll adjust accordingly, or at least what he's gathering from lucifer's words, and it feels more comfortable anyway... he's gonna learn how to use a whip and impress all his friends]
I thought it'd be kinda like a yo-yo, you know? With the wrist.
no subject
Right now though, unaware of his fate, Shin's content to sit on the edge of the pool and watch the lessons with the twin feelings of he's not going to be able to use this is he and it might be useful anyway.]
