[shikisha]

Who: Nonon Jakuzure shikisha & Anyone who was invited, or anyone who is crashing the party!! Rock Lee even invited everyone!
When: IC 1/16 - All Day
Where: Indoor waterpark in the Entertainment District
What: An indoor waterpark adventure! It's like a beach episode in the middle of the winter! Basically, Nonon wanted to go with just Ryuko but suddenly more people were invited than she intended. Now the word is out, it's not longer a private date for the two, and instead filled with friends, food and swimming!
Rating/Warning: None so far!

---

It all started with a simple text message to Ryuko. Nonon had found a bikini she wanted to wear and heard about an indoor waterpark in the Entertainment District that is heated in the wintertime. And what she had secretly hoped to be a day out between her and her sister's best friend that she might or might not be feeling some sort of unresolved tension with, suddenly grew bigger when she was told to invite Athena. Soon more and more people were invited until it was a small crowd all planning to meet up at the waterpark.




And what a park it is!

With a giant heat lamp in roof overhead it's almost like being at the beach in summer! The change of temperature as soon as you arrive is almost staggering. The heat is a nice change of pace though from the snowstorm that had hit earlier over Christmas, making it all the better reason to rip off your clothes down to your swimsuit and enjoy a day in the water!!

There is plenty to do:

Water slides!

A wave pool!

A hidden grotto with hot tubs for secret rendezvous...

Lazy river!

Deliciously fruity cocktails from the swim-up bar that are known to be deceptively alcoholic...

Some local jerk has even brought food for people to eat, or you can eat at the snack bar!

Sunbathing!

Chicken fights!

And of course, swimming with friends!

Just be careful around the little robotic crabs that move around, as the self-cleaning systems. There's rumors that if they were all to come together in one place they might form into a giant dangerous crab robot that would need to be battled, in some kind of... Crab Battle. So don't do that.

The park closes at 9:00pm, and the sun slowly turns off with sundown, so enjoy a romantic evening lit by underwater lights.



[ ooc: Make your own top-level and tag around! Even if you don't know Nonon, Ryuko, Athena, Rock, or anyone else who was doing the inviting, feel free to show up anyway, there's a 20% discount off admission! Just have fun with it, do whatever you want! ]

[ Nonon would never care about a do not disturb sign in a hotel, and she certainly doesn't care about the air of a similar meaning about Edgeworth sitting there on his deck chair. She has questions! ]

Hey! [ Standing above him, her own sunglasses pushed up with a couple of fingers, Nonon (barely) looks down on him, clad in her own baby blue bikini, looking slightly annoyed. ]

I've got a few questions here!

[prosecutory]

[At the sound of Nonon's "Hey!" Edgeworth snaps his book shut and removes his sunglasses. He even sits up straighter and raises his eyebrows.]

Is there a problem, Miss Jakuzure?

[shikisha]

[ Her question is simple, though she adds a small preamble to explain herself. ]

It seems like my plan to come here with a couple of my friends went off key somewhere along the lines. So, what made you decide to come here today?

[ There seems to be a lot of people here, a lot of people she's seen before, all when she only wanted a day to try to talk a little more with Ryuko... Alone. ]

[prosecutory]

[Oh. Ohhhh no. Not only was Edgeworth pulled all the way here, he ended up crashing a party! He at least looks contrite.]

I apologize; I did not know and was pulled here by my friends. [And at watergunpoint, too.]

[shikisha]

[ That seems to be a fair enough answer, because Nonon relents, and plops down onto the free chair next to him. ]

So you with little choice in the matter? [ She can understand that much at least. ]

You don't seem like the waterpark type, after all.

[prosecutory]

[He shakes his head - to indicate that he did have little choice in the matter as much as to agree that he isn't the water park type.]

I was outnumbered, but I have to admit, the warmth made me stay.

[shikisha]

[ And yet Nonon wanted to come here, even though she thinks she is much more mature than she is. And she's been really enjoying herself here too. ]

I was surprised when I first heard about it, even the one back home in Japan that I've heard about doesn't heat from the inside. It almost feels like summer in the middle of winter. But I always love the chance to get to wear a cute swimsuit.

[prosecutory]

It's a welcome change, yes. [Edgeworth looks up briefly, but doesn't look directly at the lamp overhead. Also, he couldn't care less about cute swimsuits.] I hope you don't mind if I remain here; I won't disturb you or your friends. [He is more than happy to stay out of other people's way.]

[shikisha]

[ ...Not caring about cute swimsuits!? What kind of man!? ]

Of course not, you're keeping to yourself, I have no complaints. Besides, it seems having you here raises the average intelligence level by a few points I imagine. [ Given that he likes classical music, she has to give him some credit. ]

Do you plan to swim at all?

[prosecutory]

[He isn't one to take compliments, but the fact that Nonon would consider him intelligent, even by just a few points, is amusing in itself. The corners of his mouth move up slightly, briefly.]

Of course. In a while. [Did you really think he would spend the entire day - wait. Yes, many people would think that.]

[shikisha]

[ So far, Edgeworth has given more than enough indicators that he's a man of class. And Nonon seems to enjoy thinking she's got class as well. ]

You know, you never told me what you got assigned with for work here.

[prosecutory]

[He does have class. His current job, however, isn't as classy...as shown in how his expression seems to deflate.]

...I was assigned as the police department secretary.

[shikisha]

[ So does Nonon's respect for him. ]

A secretary? That must be some difficult labor.

[ She can't hide her little giggle that likely sounds condescending. But she's not all terrible. ]

And what did you do before you came here?

[prosecutory]

[Prepare to give him back that respect, Nonon!

Edgeworth doesn't look very impressed or proud of his work (especially since Nonon's giggle really drives the point home, sigh), although his mood improves when she asks him what he did before coming here.]

I'm a prosecutor. ["I'm", not "I was".]

[shikisha]

[ Woah, woah, respect don't just come and go willy nilly!! It has to be earned! It has to be-- ]

A prosecutor? [ She blinks. ]

Seriously? Is this entire colony filled with high school students and lawyers?

[ Because honestly, she's pretty sure that's the only types of people she's met here at all. ]

[prosecutory]

[He blinks at Nonon's remark. Now that she mentions it...

Still, Edgeworth knows a handful who fit neither bill. Like Mabel and Aura. And that guy who really liked horses...]

There are some who are neither, but several lawyers were pulled from my world, myself included.

[shikisha]

[ Nonon just lumps everyone in together to the same group. Easier to judge them all that way. ]

So what? You going to sue CERES for their shoddy job running this place or what?

[prosecutory]

Unfortunately, we cannot practice our profession here. We were all given different jobs.

[Maybe CERES predicted that they'd reel in a bunch of lawyers and decided that they were too much trouble if they were allowed to be all lawyer-y?]

[shikisha]

Just because someone tells you that you can't do something doesn't mean you should just give up.

[ Nonon happened to get her perfect job assigned to her... then just took over the entire opera house. So she figures there's gotta be some lawyer-y work that can still be done! ]
