video; party planning

[shiro2hero]

[Guess who is striking a pose in front of his house in Sevii Islands? That's right, it's Shiro. Sporting his usual beach attire of a horrible, loud, Alolan shirt. But hey! At least he looks well-rested and happy, right? His Umbreon sits at his feet, waving her tail for the camera.]

Hey, so, we've got a lot to celebrate in this house, coming up. A couple birthdays, at least one arrival anniversary...

I don't know who remembers last year, when our house hosted a bonfire party. But, looking at the calendar, I think we're due for another one. We live on the beach, we're out in Sevii, we might as well make use of the space, right?

I'm thinking next weekend. We'll make a real party out of it -- fire, food, music. That kind of thing.

[There's a pause, and his Umbreon regards him with the most skeptical look an Umbreon can possibly give a man.]

... don't worry, I won't be the one cooking.

So, what do you all say? You in?

Really? I'll definitely have to get them something, then. [Yuuko does know Sasha from visiting Mahogany Ice Rink, at least.]

[shiro2hero]

Don't tell them, they'll tell you they don't need anything.

[Be sneaky, Skate Mom.]

[icecastlemadonna]

Got it. Looks like it'll have to be a covert operation. [She knows a few people who are like that back home, anyway.]

[shiro2hero]

I knew I could count on you.

[She's a mom, she's gotta be good at that kind of thing.]

[icecastlemadonna]

It's really no trouble.

Oh, and let me know if you need anything for the party in general! Like food, or something. [Yuuko is able to cook, at least.]

[shiro2hero]

I'm getting a couple cakes for the gang... and Krieg and Sasha will probably want to cook on the bonfire.

So... anything besides that?

[icecastlemadonna]

Hmm...oh! If I can't think of any recipes, I could always bring some watermelon. You can't have summer without that.

[Especially not on the beach, where you can smash them.]

[shiro2hero]

That sounds perfect.

I think Kazuki wanted to bring some, too. Something about smashing them?

[icecastlemadonna]

Yeah, smashing watermelons is always a fun thing to do at the beach during the summer, especially with a blindfold. It's kind of like those pinatas from Mexico, only with fruit.

[shiro2hero]

Is it? Man, I feel out of the loop.

Glad he's coming to sort me out.

[icecastlemadonna]

Well, you'll be in the loop soon enough!

Although...if Kazuki's bringing watermelon, I should probably bring something else. Maybe I'll make some cold soba or something...

[shiro2hero]

Yeah?

Yuuko, that... sounds really good.

[Seriously, it does.]

[icecastlemadonna]

It's something I always enjoyed eating back home during the summer. I could probably get the ingredients in Ecruteak...

[shiro2hero]

If you need help finding anything, let us know. Maybe we can grab it down here.

[icecastlemadonna]

I think I should be okay, but I appreciate it. Whenever I really want to make some food from back home, I can usually find the ingredients I need in Ecruteak.

[shiro2hero]

No problem. If anything changes, let me know? Or any of us.

Otherwise, we'll see you on the beach.

[icecastlemadonna]

I will! And I'll be looking forward to some time at the beach this summer.
