video / Action for anyone slumming it where Koumyou lives

[hammernhasslehoff]

Guten Morgen, wunderschön Genessia City. How many of you have slept tonight at all? It is time to wake up now!

Greet the day before the sun can beat you to it, ja?

I am making this announcement for anyone who is interested. It would be nice to have a morning partner in Fayren for a good brisk morning swim.

[... Yep. In January. Does this look like a joke to you?]

Anyone is invited, it will be fun! I promise, I will make a good breakfast when we are done. How are you doing, by the way, Herr Regis? Do you need anything else?

[[ACTION]]

Well he'd bought these presents for a reason. He missed Christmas... by like... a lot. So it was only fair that he actually get around to it now.

Two short, but friendly knocks at Koumyou's door. Or Sanzo's door. You know, whoever answered the door.

Better hope it's Koumyou. That's not Reinhardt hoping, for the record.

Whoever answers the door better hope it's Koumyou for their own sanity.]

Sanzo was the unfortunate soul to come to the door, yet he was fortunate enough to remember that many doors come with peepholes. The suspicious, ornery cuss that he was, he didn't just open the door, he looked through to see... a lot of Reinhardt. Goddamnit.

"No," he called through the door. The irritation in his voice alone should give anyone a good idea who was behind it.

[hammernhasslehoff]

No huh.

"HERR SANZO, I HAVE BROUGHT YOU A PRESENT!"

No that, asshole.

[badly_behaved_priest]

There was no response from inside the house except for click of the deadbolt.

You're certainly... joval.

[ For fuck's sake she's trying to get some rest. A vampire needs her beauty sleep. ]

[Look vampires are Not A Thing in his world, he forgets they need naps in the day]

It is a good day!

[scarlet_devil]

For humans, I'm sure. At least it's not raining.

[ This vampire comes with a slight French accent. ]

Morning swim? I'm game.

[likewise not at all joking]

I'm usually up by seven anyway.

Re: [video]

[hammernhasslehoff]

Sehr gut! It is better to exercise with friends after all, is it not? I will show you were I go. Where are you?

[yourotherleft]

Fayren. Not far from the harbor. I like to spend a lot of time around the sea.

Although you can leave off the friends bit until we actually decide we like each other, yanno.

[youfool]

Certainly; a brisk swim sounds fun! Send me the coordinates and I'll meet you there.

[No idea what he's getting into, but for him, that's the bulk of the appeal. Even if he was joking...well, Ted likes jokes.]

Re: [Video]

[hammernhasslehoff]

[Coordinates sent!]

Meet you there, Herr Satchel, bring a towel.

Re: [Video]

[youfool]

"Certainly!" [Ted carries absolutely everything with him at all times, so that's no issue. The crunch of snow heralded his arrival in the usual winter garb. The crowd of trees broke into a lake with drifting chunks of snow at the edges. He greeted, then changed into swim trunks behind a nearby stump. His teeth chattered already. His tongue would follow.]

"S-s-so, you do this often?" [It was cold then, but now? Ted already had goosebumps. He's glad he took some swim lessons, at least. Like always, he's determined to be the first and let no one beat him in the swiftness of any endeavor. Pushing down any lingering dread of chill, he ran and leaped in.]

"Uhebrubrehbr!" [Ted was violently shivering with an intense expression the minute he emerged. Thank god its mildly sunny out.]

[A faint smile settles on Regis' lips once he hears this message. Leave it to Reinhardt to be so adventurous. Who in their right mind would go swimming in January? Isn't this the coldest month in the year second to February? Regis can only shake his head as he regards this towering behemoth upon the screen.

Reinhardt is both a beacon of strength and insanity. His friendliness that can melt the coldest hearts on the chilliest winter days. It's oddly fascinating.]

Ah, Sir Wilheim.

[He greets the other with a slight nod before taking a sip of his tea.]

How good of you to ask! I'm quite well but winter's bitter chill has me confined here. Unlike you, I don't believe I can brave the chilly waters.

[hammernhasslehoff]

[Look, it's invigorating. Good way to wake up in the morning!]

Perhaps a better coat will be good for you. I'll see what I can do to help.

I won't insist you swim with me though, is not for most men.

Re: video;

[kingslight]

[Invigorating because it brings you ever so closer to death.]

Reinhardt. [He sighs a little at his newly made friend.] A warmer coat would be greatly appreciated but you don't have to go through such trouble on my account.

[Regis is truly appreciative of Reinhardt's aid and it shows in his smile.]

Bless you. I've never been one for the cold but what's this about you cooking a hearty breakfast?

[Video]

[om_nom_namur]

Waaaay ahead a y' on that swim, Gramps, but by the time we're done I'll already be full a fish. Can feed my portion t' the damn cat.

Re: [Video]

[hammernhasslehoff]

A fish then?

Well I must insist on swimming with you, I've never seen such a thing!

[Video]

[om_nom_namur]

Only if yer a monkey! Sheheheheh!

Name's Namur. What's yers?

[rubyrosegrimm]

Wow, you can swim in the freezing water in this kind of weather? That is so cool!

[hammernhasslehoff]

It is good for waking up! Promotes good health and a strong immune system too!

[rubyrosegrimm]

I'm athletic myself, I like running a lot. You said there will be breakfast? I bet it's a very pumped up breakfast! With lots of protein! What kind of foods should a runner eat?

[ Swimming? In January? And she thought she was odd for liking the cold. Ayame couldn't help but not respond despite being a fairly reclusive person. But new year, new her, she guesses. Might as well make new friends with the same odd liking to swimming in freezing cold weather right? ]

A morning swim in this weather sounds just like what the doctor ordered.

[ She opens with some lighthearted humor, even though she isn't very confident in that one. She follows with a nod ]

Guten morgen to you as well, sir. I just so happen to be a fond swimmer of Fayren's waters. Even in this weather. I can share some secret spots good for diving if you are interested.

Re: [Video]

[hammernhasslehoff]

Keeps you strong and awake!

I would love to hear of them, please tell me. I live in Genessia City, I fear that I do not know Fayren as well as I should.

[sizedoesntmatter]

Isn't it like ice cold in the water right now?

[Yugi looks a little surprised because that just seems crazy.]

Re: video;

[hammernhasslehoff]

Oh yes, of course! It is January!
