Battle, last day of round -1!

[swordofzero]

Suzaku Kururugi vs. Mei Chang

Weapons: Euphemia li Britannia and Gino Weinberg
Location: At the docks
Time of day: High Noon

Unfortunately Suzaku had agreed to this battle with Mei before he had fought Tsuki and lost Lelouch. That meant that since Kotarou was still recovering not that he would use the kid anyways after what happened last time and he had promised Lelouch not to use Nunnally in battle he had to use Euphemia's weapon. He didn't want to, he didn't want to hurt her; he didn't want to hurt anyone. But no one had been rendered unconscious in the last battle, so he was hoping that that was something rare. As long as they were careful.

Suzaku looked at Euphemia, "Are you sure this is alright, we can still forfeit if it's not..."

Oh, shoes and socks. Yeah, those too.

"Well do-- ah, don't drown, okay? That'd look bad on the tape." He swam over to Mei, in case she wanted to grab onto something for further celebrating - flailing was serious business, after all - and flicked water at her.

"Because it looked like fun!"

[themerryway]

"Ah, well," She laughs a little. "Yes, it's as Gino says. I was a bit worried, and-- it looked like fun, so... And I'm glad you're both okay."

[swordofzero]

Suzaku had been thinking the same thing; why had they decided to jump in. But then again why did Gino need a reason to do anything?

"Yes we're fine, we just forgot the flying would stop once the battle was over," he sounded embarrassed about this as well. "We should probably get back to shore?"

He really didn't want anyone drowning.

"I won't!" Mei was going to wait to do any other celebrating while on shore. She blinked at the Knight of Three. "What video-- ah!" She flinched away from the water flicked at her, but only out of surprise. She immediately retaliated by splashing Gino right back. Take that!

"Yyeeaah, we should get to shore. I don't want to lose my shoes out here!"

She's been using her own shoes this entire time. The ones that were part of the uniform? Not her thing.

[trollofthree]

"Right, right." Gino grinned at the revenge assault, then ducked under the water long enough to swim over to Suzaku, surface, and drench him with a rather more enthusiastic splash.

In his defense, that technically involved swimming closer to shore.

[themerryway]

Euphemia giggles at the splashfight that erupts, adding her own splash to the mix-- aimed at Gino, and a bit unsure. She doesn't want to get water in his eyes, after all. "Yes, to the shore!"

[swordofzero]

Suzaku gave a half smile that was not completely chearful. He merely wiped the water out of his eyes that Gino had splashed at him and nodded at Euphemia, time to get back to the shore.

[idkmybffxiao]

Sorry kids, Mei isn't noticing those looks Gino and Euphie are trying to communicate with. It might be on purpose. Dunk Suzaku? Really? He's already been beaten by a little girl and dumped in the harbor. Nothing can top that. She swam shorewards along with everyone else. As fun as swimming is, she was just as happy to get back onto shore.

"Bleeh. Squishy socks." Yeah, those shoes and socks get pulled off once she hits dry land.

[trollofthree]

"Man, that's no fun..."

But his complaint wasn't serious; Gino trod water for a little longer, in case anyone changed their minds about heading back to land, then swam back to his discarded shoes and blazer when they'd all gotten out ahead of him. There'd be other chances for swimming, anyway.

He made sure to flick water at the buzzkill Knight of Seven anyway.

[themerryway]

She pouts a little before quickly joining Mei on shore. No fun at all. Euphemia gathers up her shoes and socks and vest, holding them carefully away from her wet body. "Squishy everything..."

[swordofzero]

Suzaku shook water off himself and glared at Gino. "Let's go get dried up," he said, mainly to deter Gino from getting back in the water.

[idkmybffxiao]

"It's not like the water is going anywhere, Gino!"

They'll be back. There will be non-battle related swimming. It will probably include throwing Suzaku in the water regardless of that. She started walking back towards the campus, content to walk alongside Euphemia since they were in the same dorm.

[trollofthree]

There had better be, Mei, or he'd be joining your rebellion.

"That doesn't-- ah," he blinked, then looked up at the clock tower as the dinner chime sounded.

Then looked back down, and around, at their collectively sodden clothing.

Whoops.
