A fantastic day! (Vacation-pool-open to all-Adult themes could be here so be warned.)

Sebastian smiled and headed into the new pool well he didn't really know what a pool was but he saw now that it was a place with tons of clean water and....a long ramp that curved and went in a loop going down, he saw people in shorts and Bra and wired panties? he shrugged then already saw he was wearing shorts he forgot in all this confusion.

Sebastian grinned and jumped into one of the deeper water areas and felt cold wrap around his body, he gasped and swam up gulping in fresh air, "Oh...my...god i wish Orchid or someone could be here.." he said quickly his stutters coming out quickly

Water was somewhat rare in the walls. Not as rare as, say, people turning into Titans, but rarer than a Military Police officer who wasn't corrupt.
That made this occasion doubly odd, as there was both water and a non-corrupt MP.
At least, Ernest liked to think of himself as uncorrupt.
He was, at present, relaxing in one of the long chairs by the side of the- what's the word- pool, wearing dark green shorts, and not much else.
How the hell anyone managed to afford this was a total mystery to Ernest. One that he kept comfortably shoved into the back of his mind.
It'd be terribly inconvenient to think on a mystery right now, as Ernest was in the middle of a particularly exciting chapter in his book.

Sebastian smiled once he saw Ernest and swam over he had healed up good from his little attack with his wall, he jumped out of the water and walked up behind him yelling out a sharp and short BOOOO! if Ernest jumped Sebastian would crouch behind the chair, if not he would try again.

Silence was peaceful. It gave a man time to think without a constant stream of noise.
Noise was less good. At the moment, Ernest's least favorite noise ever uttered was the sharp BOOOO! that caused him to jump, stand up at speeds that would have once been considered impossible, all while releasing a particularly un-masculine scream.
"Damn it Sebastian!" He said, recognizing the voice.

Sebastian laughed slightly and hooked a arm around Ernest, "Aw come on Man just a little bit of fun and game don't get mad.." he murmured pointing out two girls across the pool, "Hey i cant tag em but i think you can my man.."

"Eh. I've already got my eye on someone." He answered.
Ernest wasn't the 'picking-up-chicks-going-out-getting-drunk-having-sex-waking-up-and-they're-both-gone' kind of person.
Speaking of having his eye on someone, there was something that had been scratching at the back of his mind that he needed to address.
"Sebastian. We need to talk about the fact that both of us are attracted to- maybe even in love with- the same girl. You know who I mean."

After coming from the trainings ground, Mahiro was pretty tired. He wanted to relax a bit, but didn't knew what a relaxing activity he should do. Upon walking through the crowds, he heard a lot of people talk about a new 'pool'. He never entered one but had a basic idea of what it might be, he read a couple books about it because it was an interesting concept from his perspective. He was still sceptical about it, because having a pool would require a lot of clean water, and water was pretty rare. People had barely enough to eat, let alone a giant pool, he was getting a bit annoyed by the idea of swimming in water as it could've been someone else's water.

But after some thought he decided that it wouldn't really matter if he swam in it or not, so he might as well enjoy himself once in a while. He headed to the pool, and couldn't believe what he was seeing, it was amazing. He was happy that he did come, because the books didn't describe it that well, he was hesitant to write a book about it himself. He quickly jumped in the pool, the cold water splashed at his body. He wasn't prepared for it and let out a loud noise "Aah!!", he was embarrassed of his action and held his head under water for a second. He couldn't believe he did that.

Sebastian blinked at Ernest and frowned, "....We should rather talk about that to her then between us, from what i understand she knows we could both die and she wont get in a emotional relationship, just...know if she shows up here today.." he gets a death glare pointed at Ernest, "We are Rivals not Friends."

"What I was suggesting-" Never had the word 'suggesting' sounded so much like 'you want a bullet in your brain you little shit' "-Is that the both of us act natural and let the lady in question pick one of us. Or both of us, if she wishes."  He explained.  No need for a woman to get between friends, after all.

Sebastian smiles, "It depends my friend, which one of us is more skilled?" he raised a eyebrow then laughed, "Just kidding but seriously be careful that thing up there.." points towards a sign on top of a slide, it was a titan in the shape of a heart, "If you go up there that thing is able to fall so...be careful."

Mahiro saw two people having a 'friendly' conversation, he was quite curious as they were both a Military Police member and a Scouting Legion member. He wanted to learn more about the branches as he wasn't sure which one to join but had one in mind. Books don't tell everything he thought, and walked over them. "Hi, I've a few questions to both of you."

"Well, let's hear them then!" He said to the new person who had walked up to them.
Probably for the best, too.  His arms were starting to get that strange tingling feeling that arms get when their owner wants to punch something, and that'd be a terrible thing to have happen at the pool.

He had a little smile on his face, he was surprised that some of the Military and scouting members were willing to waste their time with a trainee. He quickly went to his bag and got a towel with a notebook and a pencil. "Okay.. Let's see here.. Ah, yes. My first question would be what's your relationship with each other?" he asked that specific question because he wants to see if the branches hated each other, had a special relationship or didn't have any feelings for each other. This would give him a better sight from things on their perspective.

Sebastian Grabbed Ernest with one arm and smiled, "Best friends." he said better to talk to this guy if he saw Orchid in a Bathing suit he knew his nose would be bleeding. Sebastian looked up and saw the titan structure begin to crumble slightly.

Reia sat in a chair by the edge of the - what was the word? - pool. Water was rare within the walls, and why anyone would waste such a large amount of it like this was beyond her. However, people did seem to be having fun.

Reia watched as the other members of her squad played in the water. Reia had wanted to stay home and read, but the rest of them had dragged her out here against her will, even insisting that she wear a black "bikini" as they called it. To Reia, it just looked like underwear.

She leaned back in the chair, trying to focus on her book amid all the splashing and screaming, when suddenly her legs were covered in cold water. Reia shot a glare towards Oluo and Gunther, who were doing their best to hide their laughter. Annoyed, Reia got up and moved to the other side of the pool. When she got there, she saw Ernest and Sebastian sitting next to each other, deep in conversation.

"Probably something about Orchid..." Reia thought. It was no secret that both of them were head over heels for that brat, though Reia had no idea why.

They were approached by a young teenage boy, maybe 13 or 14 Reia guessed. He walked like a soldier, so he was probably in the trainee corps. He definitely wasn't old enough to have picked a branch yet.

Reia walked over to greet them. "Well, look what the cat dragged in."

"Well look what the cat dragged in." Said a familiar sounding, female voice.
"Oh, hey Reia!" Ernest's mouth said cheerfully.
"Damn." Ernest's mind said. He had seen the women at the pool from a distance, wearing that thing they called a 'bikini', whatever that meant.
He hadn't seen one up close. Coincidentally, he had never really looked at Reia before.
Well, he had. Just not in the way he was looking now.
The mind of a man in his early twenties is a fickle thing, always finding new interests to be filed alongside the old ones.
Ernest shifted his weight a bit, trying his damnedest to look manly and not like a perv or anything.
'Cause, you know, he totally wasn't.

Sebastian threw a hand up, "Oi Reia." he smiled he didn't notice or if he did he didn't care not being that girl crazy as of now he didn't mind the "Bikini" Sebastian smiled and rand towards the pool diving in you could hear, SPLOOSH! and water soaked everyone Sebastian smiled at them from his humble Area.

Reia had just enough time to shield her book before being drenched in the tidal wave caused by Sebastian's dive. Sebastian smiled up at them from the water. Reia glared at him in return. "So.." she began, grabbing a towel and drying herself off. "Aren't you going to introduce me to your new friend?"

Mahiro was listening to what they were going to say. He was a bit disappointed the scouting person only said two words to him as he didn't care about him. He felt a little bit disrespected, he wrote down on his notebook "The relationship between the two branches remains unknown but one person claims that they are 'good' friends." and didn't write down anything else. When he was about to ask a new question he saw a female approach, he didn't really care about her attire as it was no big deal as most females were wearing one.

She asked what they were doing, "Oh, I'm Mahiro, a trainee. I'd like to know more about both squads as I'm still hesitant on which side to join." did he said friendly. He quickly saw the Scouting legion jump in the water soaking everyone, Mahiro already foresaw it and turned around trying to protect his notebook, as in useful data were in it about himself. He was a little bit annoyed by his action. "Are all Scouting members like that? If so I'm not joining the Scouting Legion."

Ernest brushed the water out of his eyes, and stood there for a moment, soaking wet, looking like an idiot.
Then the ol' brain kicked in again.  
"Not all of them. Seb's just a special case."

Sebastian shook his head, "No i am just a bit over joyed the fact that this place is a real thing and not something fake." he said quickly then he climbed out he stretched, he wondered how they seemed weaker then him well the trainee he understood was weaker with not that many skills but he just seemed more built, well Ernest was close to him if they got in a fight who would win? he shrugged it off then looked at Reia then Ernest, "So i hardly remember Reia."

"She's from the scouting legion, like you. Part of the Levi squad, too. I met her in Trost a while ago, and..."
Shit.
Trost.
That thing in Trost.
"Reia, I'm sorry for leaving like I did." He said, addressing the scout directly. "I should've stayed, maybe helped search for Luke... You know what, I'm going to make it up to you. I don't know how, but I am."

"I'm Reia. Scouting Legion, Special Ops," she introduced herself to Mahiro. "Ernest is right, we have all types. Some more mature than others..." she muttered. "But at the end of the day, they're all good people."

She heard fragments of Sebastian and Ernest's conversation behind her. Then Ernest called her name. "Reia, I'm sorry for leaving like I did. I should've stayed, maybe helped search for Luke...You know what, I'm going to make it up to you. I don't know how, but I am."

Reia didn't know how to respond. That had certainly darkened the mood. Reia was struck by the sudden realization. He was right, he shouldn't have left. Bloody MPs. Even Ernest, who was one of the better ones, had copped out when people needed him. Reia had seen it from the MPs so many times before, she didn't even bat an eye at it now. However, he did seem sincerely sorry. Reia looked Ernest in the eye. "Just promise me something. Promise me that you'll do whatever you can to save as many people as you can. That will do just fine."

Mahiro was glad to meet someone from the higher ranks, he thought they'd look more fierce like but was mistaken. He knows he shouldn't judge a book by it's cover so he applies that to humans as well. "It's a pleasure meeting you, Reia." did he say. He just remembered what the military police guy just said, he left Reia alone in Trost. "Tsk." he was getting frustrated, he might've taken it out of context but you don't leave someone alone regardless of how skilled they are. He tried to calm his voice down, "Why did you leave her alone in the first place?"

Sebastian sighed and shook his head at the three he went and leaned on a wall near the entrance waiting for Orchid he knew she would come here, be it out of Question or to see if she could find him or Ernest, he just wanted to talk to someone who wouldn't argue with him in ten seconds.
