[video and text to Daniel]

[powerdealer]

[A few seconds long video of a short, scruffy, angry, Scottish man, half turned away from the camera, furiously talking at a table of food and drink, next to a large and luminous pool.

The clip begins midway through a sentence: "-ities, it had to be the same brane as fucking Jackson." The sounds of the pool and background chatter makes the words a little hard to pick out, but still distinguishable enough to be understood.]

Friend of yours?

[peacefulexplorer]

[powerdealer]

[peacefulexplorer]

[After a few minutes.]

[powerdealer]

yes

[peacefulexplorer]

why is there a pool

[powerdealer]

i'm at a pool party, i dont see why this is hard to imagine.

[peacefulexplorer]

[Seth is at a party? He's always been fairly closed off, and not exactly highly sociable. But Daniel is going to keep that to himself, at least for now.]

oh. ok then.

[That's...obvious.]

[peacefulexplorer]

was a little preoccupied with the glaswegian guy and "fucking jackson"

just took me a minute.

[powerdealer]

[All the self control not to comment or make a joke about "fucking Jackson," because it would be highly inappropriate.]

im joking.

[Apparently his sass doesn't translate as easily to text.]

[powerdealer]

i mean i AM at a pool party.

[powerdealer]

but mostly its a tardis party.

[powerdealer]

and i think ill be going home actually.

[peacefulexplorer]

I deduced as much

other than the bizare future acqauintance I hope it went ok

[He doesn't know what a 'tardis' is and feels like now wouldn't be the best time to ask.]

[powerdealer]

he was really the main event. impressivly for a pool party, as neither of us have gone near the pool.

[peacefulexplorer]

Some days arent pool days

and pools arent the universl linchpin for social enjoyment

[Daniel isn't really eager to go swimming himself, what with a number of nightmares involving drowning.]

[powerdealer]

most days arent pool days when you cant swim.
