Who: Bakura and those he gave his address to
What: An unofficial 4th party!
When: 7/4, after 3 pm
Where: Bakura's back yard.



The Bakura home was an older house in the older part of the city that had been kept up quite well, a pair of well tended flowerbeds flanking the porch steps. But it was the gate off the driveway that the partygoers had been directed to, leading to a fenced in backyard that was half taken up by a large deck and in ground pool.

There's a UFO grill set up, as well as a small stereo [that's really just Bakura's ipod plugged into a set of speakers] that's playing an odd assortment of pop, jpop, anime soundtracks and Jonathan Coulton. There's also three different things of sunscreen and three pictures of water, lemonade and ice tea set up on a small table, as well as various snacks.


[OoC: Subthreads will be set up, but feel free to make your own! Mingle about, threadjack, have fun!]

"Toushirou-kun, hmmm... Vivi's grandson?" the elder Bakura mused, tapping on her chin with her free hand.

[icy_heavens]

[He doesn't know much Japanese, but he does know some of the endearments. He'd have protested this one, but . . . yeah. Old lady. No making a fuss.

[There is, however, some blinking. Hang on, here.] ... Yeah.

[shiromadoushi]

Bakura blinked a few times, shifting to look up at his grandmother a bit more. "Vivi... the one you've been helping out in yoga class?"

The woman smiled warmly. "Yes! Despite it being such a city, it really is pretty small, isn't it?" Her accent was still a touch noticeable, especially with the slight off phrasing.

[icy_heavens]

[Small city, indeed. Holy crap. Their grandparents know each other?] Seems like it is.

[shiromadoushi]

"Well. I won't be a bother, you boys enjoy yourselves and tell Vivi that I said hello!" Bakura's grandmother smiled, reaching out to gently ruffle Toushirou's hair before heading off to the next glass in need to more lemonaid.

[icy_heavens]

[He visibly stiffens at the hair ruffling. Ordinarily, he would have swatted at the hand of anyone who did that and maybe snapped at them to quit it. Not here. Nope, he'll let her get away with it.] Yeah, I'll do that.

[She's gone, right? He can relax now, right? Right.]

[shiromadoushi]

[[Covers a snicker]] Anyone other than Grandma doing that and you would have flipped a shit.

And I swear, she knows everyone. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not somedays!

[icy_heavens]

[Huffs and goes back to eating.] Well, you're supposed to be nicer to old people.

[shiromadoushi]

AKA, let Grandma get away with it or you'll get your ass kicked seven ways, six of them by her. [[grins]]

[icy_heavens]

It's a respect thing, okay? [And little old ladies have ways of being terrifying without doing anything if they want to. Or at least that's how Toushirou chooses to interpret the situation.]

[shiromadoushi]

Yeah, yeah. [[smiles before taking a long drink]]

So your grandma is one of mine's yoga buddies, huh? One more link between people with this.

[icy_heavens]

[You can sass kinda-old people. You can't sass old-old people. It's a rule or something.] Weird how that works out.

But yeah, looks like it. Granny just started doing it recently because she gets bad arthritis and she thought it might help.

[shiromadoushi]

She trying the pool yoga or just the slow yoga? Grandma does both and I know she's always going on about her "ladies" there.

[icy_heavens]

Pretty sure it's the pool.
