He's just blinking once slowly, at ALL THIS WATER, and then slowly down at Haru. He makes a kind of pinched face, and it's partially because he really is just going swimming, but also because there's that acrid smell of chlorine that he doesn't really like. ]
[ he will not give any of the triguns a break, they have suffered and will continue to do so
anyway the biggest surprise in this tag is that he's not stinky ]
Never?
[ that's so sad actually. he submerges himself down to his nose, idly blowing out bubbles for a second in thought before breaking the surface fully again. ]
You have an opportunity now. [ plenty of water in the afterlife. ]
You don't have to wear anything as long as people aren't around. [ he shrugs. nagisa would skinny dip sometimes, it's whatever. not like he's going to be looking. ] But you can try dipping just your feet in, if you want.
[ haru just takes a moment to enjoy drifting, letting out a sigh. ]
[ Maybe or maybe not he will consider when there really is nobody around, but he will feel a little strange about going for a swim with anybody else present that isn't his canonmates. ]
We don't have a lot of water where I'm from. Not enough to drink in some cities, let alone do other things like swim in it or play around with it.
[ Nu... trying to get the Wolfwood shoeless any% speedrun... ]
[ yeah! give haru a glock! anyway, he gives this dude a look, like he's meeting a war vet for the first time in his life. because that's the vibe here. he is just a swimmy lad, what does he know. ]
[ Absolutely no promises, with the whole DEATH GAME!! thing, but hey. It's not like he wants to be a tense hardass for the entire (looks at watch) seven weeks. ]

haru is just setting aside a gym towel before getting into the water. ]
Do you want a lane?

What's that mean?
no subject
another one of these weirdos who doesn't know BASIC POOL TERMINOLOGY, why isn't this crucial information to anyone else.
he points to a lane divider. ]
It's divided into lanes. It means we can share the pool. ...If you know how to swim.
no subject
Never gone swimming before. Even when I'm in the bathroom, it's a short shower most of the time.
We don't exactly have a lot of water where I'm from.
[ So give him a break Haru!! It's like Turbo California crossed with Texas!! ]

no subject
No. This is the most water I've literally ever seen in my life, I'm pretty sure.
Smells bad, though.
[ That's the chlorine... ]
no subject
what desert hellhole are these people from, wow. he just feels pity. ]
...It's treated with salt and chemicals. To keep it clean for swimming.
It smells, but it's not for drinking or bathing anyway.
no subject
This is a lot of water to be used just for swimming. Must be nice, having that kind of freedom.
[ He doesn't sound bitter or whatever though, he's heard the Old World was more like this. It's just unfathomable to him. ]
I'll pass on the swimming, I don't have anything to wear for it anyway.
no subject

...What makes you call it freedom?

no subject
he shrugs, because he doesn't care if wolfwood is here, but he could see why the feeling's not mutual. more pool for him. he hums. ]
...I can't imagine. I lived on an island. [ near the ocean, by a fishing village. as watercore as it gets, really. ] Swimming isn't all play, though.
no subject
Desert planet, here. All yellow as far as the eye can see, and air so dry it'd crack earth on contact.
Yeah? What's it all about then?
no subject
he retreats a little further into the pool, like it's a comfort, even if his next words don't really reflect that. ]
Water's dangerous. It's like a living thing. If you don't know how to deal with it, it'll swallow you whole.
no subject
You look right at home in it, though. You like the danger?
no subject
No. I feel more at peace like this.
[ he's not really chasing the runner's high of adrenaline as an athlete. just here to vibe. ]
Can't you respect something, instead of fearing it?
no subject
Wolfwood: okay ]
You probably can, but it comes with the caveat that it's never hurt you before. How'd you come to respect it so much if you say it's so dangerous?
no subject
I don't underestimate it.
Anything is less dangerous if you're careful and you handle it correctly. [ like GUNS ] And even if it has risks, I enjoy it.
no subject
That makes sense. There's a lot of adrenaline junkies out there.
[ That isn't what this is but hey. ]
When you grow up with it your whole life, it's a different story.
no subject
Sounds like you've seen a lot.
no subject
I don't normally think so, at least probably not in the way you're thinking. A lot of people I've met here make me feel like it though.
Sounds like a nice world you've got.
[ It's not bitterness, it's real. ]
no subject
Yeah. I like it.
[ he's sure every world has its problems, but it can't compare to a desert planet, where people might fight over as little as a pond. ]
Maybe you should try relaxing while you're here.
[ he thinks the pool is nice stress relief. ]
no subject
