[Semi Open] ♕1

[posidon]

WHO: Cedric and you!
WHERE: Anywhere and everywhere
WHEN: July
WHAT: Bingo!
WARNINGS: Possibly PG-13 talk? Not likely.


[A]
[Cedric is at Freshens for groceries like most people probably come to Freshens for. Figuring out what to buy and how much of it has been a learning experience for the swimmer. He went to the market with his family a lot back home and had a good idea, but it's still different when on his own.

That, and he does miss the selection of foods from home. He'll have to ask his family to mail him certain foods when he's feeling particularly homesick. Like chocolate.

He looks at his phone to look at his grocery list and takes a moment to glance at the dancing oranges in his cart. They truly are rather entertaining to him even if they're kind of weird. He shouldn't get distracted and finish getting groceries though.]

Oh! Excuse me. I don't want to hit you.

[B]
[At the Towers? At the Towers to buy something off Jim's registry for Jim? Congratulations! Apparently so is Cedric. He isn't actually sure who Jim even is and why they're important enough to have a spot on his bingo card, but being nice can't hurt. Right?]

Is Jim getting married or something?

[Do people getting married need some of these items? He wouldn't know.]

[[OOC: Bingo Catch All! I still got spots open here though and I'm still open to doing more Bingo threads! Closed top levels to squares I've already filled below.]]

[Closed] Amadée

[posidon]

[Cedric has been particularly in high spirits for this day. It had been a little while since he properly been able to see Amadée and spend time with the other. They had been keeping in contact through texts, but it isn't particularly the same thing as seeing the other in the flesh.

It's not even anything particularly extravagant, but it's enough to keep a smile on his face. All he really asked if the other had free time to have lunch with him at his favorite cafe.

It's just a friend asking a friend to have lunch. No big deal. It's not like they haven't been kind of flirting through texts for awhile since meeting each other. That means nothing! He admires the other a lot is all! Amadée is an admirable person!

Yeah, Cedric is practically on his feet from where he's sitting when he sees the other approaching.] Amadée! You made it! [Well. Duh. The other wouldn't stand him up without saying anything.]

[heiresy]

[ He had been dying to get out and about lately. Between his "uncle" and Estée, all of his social interaction had involved him being an overbearing peace-maker. It would be a lot more comfortable to just spend some time with a guy who didn't drive him up a wall.

Well. That was a mild way to put it. He liked this guy a lot...

He grins as he catches sight of the other man. He had almost forgotten how small he was... Amadée was easily half a foot taller than him.]

Cedric! But of course- [ He approaches, bending at the waist to press a quick a kiss on each cheek. Last time they had been but new acquaintances, but now he felt they were close enough... Except ]

Oh! I should have asked. Was that strange for you?

[posidon]

[Excuse you! He is average. Average height!!! Okay, no. He's pretty small because of his father's side. It never bothered him, but he sure was smaller than many of his friends in Spain.

He's pretty sure his heart attempted to leap out of his throat. Cedric just laughs instead though.] No, no! If anything, it's kind of a nice familiarity. We had many French acquaintances with how close France is to Spain, so I have grown used to such greetings.

It did catch me off guard a bit. People don't do that here do they?

[He waves his hand dismissively. It's okay. It was just a greeting. Nothing big.] I should tell you about my father's reaction the first time though. Mom said he was positively scandalized!

[heiresy]

Not at all! It was a hard habit to break moving here. If not for my accent, I think I would have upset an awful lot of girls...

[he laughs a little at himself as he goes to take his seat.]

How did they meet? Sounds as if they came from different worlds. [he scans the table briefly, his eyes coming back to Cedric.]

...And does this place have a wine menu?

[posidon]

Didn't know you were such a heartbreaker. Those poor girls.

[He's teasing the other a bit as he moves to sit down across the other.]

My dad came to Spain for business. I think he was expanding outside of Asia. I think a few people are always a bit surprised when they see my parents. They seem completely different, but they do love each other quite a lot.

[Cedric smiles a bit.] They do. I don't order from it though, so I can't say how good their wine is or not.

[heiresy]

Think so? I thought I scared them at the time! [he laughs, turning his head as the waitress arrives with the menus.] I always found that fascinating... My parents couldn't have been more alike. Career, tastes, peeves... [he gives a soft sigh, thinking about them for a moment. He tries not to dwell.]

It's quite alright, as long as they have a couple bottles from France... Say, do you not drink at all, then?

[And a little grin, he knows he's being a bit of a snob. He spots one, paying only half-attention to even what kind it was before ordering it. ]

[posidon]

Maybe frightened or surprised, but I don't think I'd complain if a guy like you kissed me on the cheek. [UHM. Shit. Whoops. Going to keep talking as though he didn't say that.] It works out I think. My dad can be a bit high strung, so she helps him relax. In return, he keeps her a bit grounded since she's the type to do as she pleases.

I try not to. [He lets out a laugh as he just orders a water and a sandwich. It's one of the few places that serves more authentic European style lunch, so he likes coming to this cafe.] I'm apparently a huge lightweight and did some pretty embarrassing things when I got drunk.

My friends still tease me once in awhile about it.

[Closed] Maggie

[posidon]

[Maybe he's taking this sand castle business a little too seriously. But it did say something about having to make a sandcastle as tall as him. He isn't tall, but he isn't exactly pint sized or anything. A sandcastle that has to be over five feet tall is an impressive feat and he can't just willy nilly cobble a castle together!

If it isn't structurally sound enough it would just collapse part way through, right?

He's really taking this too seriously, but he wants to build a good castle.

It's why he's currently squatting at the beach and staring down at the different items he brought (shovels and those plastic molds people buy for kids for this) and the sand. Maybe he looks a little disgruntled which shouldn't be a thing. The beach is where people are supposed to have fun.] Is there enough sand to make it that tall?

[...What kind of question is that?

Maybe he should get some help for this.]

[storytelleroftime]

"You're at a beach genius. What do you think?" [Maggie is watching him build this with idle fascination. Presumably, this is a part of this whole "bingo sandcastle" thing but she's not going to just come out and say that. She'll just hint at it until it gets confirmed to her in some subtle way.]

[posidon]

That was a dumb question. You're right.

[He lets out a gentle laugh despite his idiocy. Take it in stride.] I need to make a sand castle my size, but I'm not sure how I'm going to accomplish it now that I'm here.

[He scratches his face as he looks at all the sand toys he brought with him.] Whenever I made castles at the beach; they always looked more like sand mounds when I was growing up. They weren't really castles thinking back on it.

[storytelleroftime]

"Huh." [She just never went to the beach as a kid. No one to go with and no interest to ever go. She had, other occupations of her time she had focused on.]

"But you have that square too?"

[posidon]

[He grew up on Spanish beaches and it'd be ironic if he were a swimmer who didn't hit a beach at least once.]

Yeah. You got me. It's bingo related. Does that mean you have it too then?

[storytelleroftime]

"Yep. Need some help?"

[Might as well offer. She had nothing better to do with her time.]

[Closed] Shouto

[posidon]

[Look. He has gone horseback riding before. It was a great experience. He had a lot of fun. 10/10 Would do again.

That being said. Chocobos are not horses. They're large birds. Surely though, being able to ride one shouldn't be an issue. If they're replacing everything that's horses then there must be similarities of some kind.

How very wrong he was.

Chocobos are pretty much nothing like horses. He wanted to try chocobo racing, but he's currently standing a bit dumbfounded next to one. How does one exactly mount a chocobo...?]

Ay dios mio... [He pats the chocobo's head.] Aren't there manuals or something for these kind of things?

[glaciers]

[Shouto has done absolutely none of that. He's good on the stage, or in font of a piano, but anything else is a new and somewhat worrying experience.]

... For chocobos? I think there are classes for them.

[posidon]

Maybe I'll have to take some in the future.

[He's all for new experiences and all.]

Ah. That wouldn't really help me now though. My bingo card wants me to have a chocobo race. [He imagines it'd be short lived. Whoever races him would clearly win. He can't even get on his chocobo at the moment.]

[glaciers]

You too? ... I'm not very good at it either, but we can try.

[Shouto'll pick out a calm looking chocobo and pat its beak.]

[posidon]

It sounds it'll be a learning exercise for both of us then!

[He holds his hand out for a hearty handshake.] Cedric Yeung! Will you accept my challenge to a chocobo race?

[This is gonna be a sad chocobo race...]

[glaciers]

It sounds like it.

[He'll shake his hand, it's firm but not quiet as enthusiastic.] Shouto Todoroki.

I will... Did you get challenge somebody to a duel too?

[Closed] Yosuke

[posidon]

[Cedric had to get some laughs out before he could leave his apartment for the day. There was nothing particularly different about the day. He was most likely to just do some window shopping and wandering around the city, but he decided to knock out another spot on his bingo card.

Of course he needed to get his giggles out first after looking at himself in his bathroom mirror sporting a rather ridiculous hat.

Once he's calmed down proper; Cedric was out of his place and in the city. He's currently window shopping. Ironically, he's looking at hats as he's now considering the merits of getting a hat of some kind to wear out. No one has pulled him over his hat.

Not that he's wearing a hat at the moment. Nope. No hat.]

OH MY GOD THAT HAT im so glad

[youraffection]

[ As someone who also had to walk around with an ugly hat on, Yosuke should be more sympathetic. He should. He totlaly should.

And not at all stare when he sees that monstrosity sitting on this guy's head.

It could be for bingo, yes, but...this guy could also be a Sleeper with horrible fashion sense. (Does he need makeover?)

Yosuke is so fixated on staring at this hat that he doesn't at all realize that there's a pole in front of him. Wanna guess what happens? It's not surprising.

Yep, he collides with it and drops his phone. All Cedric might hear, though, is someone sounding disgusted and shouting, ]

Oh, shit!

[ Is he yelling about that or the hat? Hard to tell. ]

THE ONLY ACCEPTABLE HAT.

[posidon]

[Cedric loves his hat. His hat that he isn't wearing because it isn't there. It doesn't exist. There is no hat. If there was a hat though; he would love it.

Cedric looks away from the shop window when he hears the certain exclamation. Oh dear. He hurries over and kneels down next to Yosuke.]

Hey. Are you okay?

[The hat is totally casting a shadow over Yosuke. The bird is staring at Yosuke intently. Watching. Waiting. It's dead. Don't worry.]

[youraffection]

[ If there's no hat then he'll eat the spoon that doesn't exist either. Keep it up, Neo.

At least he's a nice guy in a weird hat. Though, it's...it's really hard to ignore the hat. God, it's hard. ]

Y-Yeah...

[ Physically? He'll get over it. The emotional damage from the stare of a dead bird on someone's head? That's more difficult. ]

Sorry, I got, uh--

[ ... ]

--distracted...

[ He reaches for his phone. And a sigh of relief. ]

Whew! The screen isn't cracked...

[posidon]

[Eating spoons doesn't sound safe. Don't do that. That's bad.]

You don't have to apologize to me.

[He holds his hand out towards Yosuke to help him up.]

I'm more glad that you aren't hurt. Or your phone for that matter. I think you'd be worst off than me considering you're that got hurt.

[At least the bird is dead and cannot judge Yosuke for walking into a pole and potentially cracking his phone screen. He probably doesn't need a judgmental avian creature on top of that.]

[youraffection]

[ You can't tell him what to do.

He isn't 100% sure that the dead bird really can't judge him, but he'll give it the benefit of the doubt. Yosuke accepts the offered hand and allows Cedric to pull him to his feet. ]

My ass can take a few hits. My phone? Not so much.

[ Wait a second. ]

Erm...that...came out wrong...

[ Oh geez. Can he get a redo?

Yosuke quickly wipes off his phone, which shows the bingo card he'd been going through. ]
