Beach Party!

[skilledwithwords]

Who: OPEN TO ALL!
What: Beach Party!
Where: Dubai Sub-archway
When: All Day May 31st

[Everyone will get an invitation though there are specific friends of Levy's that she sends personal messages to imploring that they come and have a good time at the beach. There have been more than a few trying things as of late and she thinks that everyone needs to have a chance to relax and have fun.

After getting permission from Troy she sets up a little space on the beach within Dubai's sub-archway. Just as he promised it's the most beautiful beach she's seen. The water is crystal clear and the sand almost a pearly white.

She has a few things set up for those who arrive. There are tables and chairs under canopy and a few extra towels for those who forgot to bring one. There is a boardwalk nearby that people can walk down, checking out the shops and the food. Levy has watermelon and others summer time snacks set up for people to pick at. There is a beach ball and a net set up for those who want to play on the beach.

As the sun sets there will be fireworks and star gazing.

As a benefit of knowing Troy there are also rooms available at the hotel located behind the party. The Atlantis is a nice place and will be the hosts of the fireworks show as well.]

Comments

Levy | OPEN

[skilledwithwords]

[Levy is happy that she's been able to organize this. She can be found playing in the water or just sitting on the beach with a book, a towel beneath her to keep the scolding sand from her pale skin. Wherever she is there is a smile spread across her lips.

As the night she watches the stars and then waits for the fireworks to litter the sky with light. She really likes fireworks. Which is most likely due to Fairy Tail's influence.]

Nighttime

[kublan]

[Troy wasn't able to join the fun earlier since he was busy with his work in Nova City, but as soon as he clocks out for the day, he drives back to his subarchway to pay the gang a visit. Mostly Levy, since most of the people who have come to the party are still strangers to him.

Right before the fireworks start, Troy arrives at the Atlantis on his motorcycle. The desert wind is making things chilly as the sun has left the sky, and is about to get colder later. Which is sad, he was hoping to see some girls in their swimsuits!

Riding down the roadway only a few steps away from the sandy beach, Troy slows down as he spots Levy. Parking his motorcycle by the side, Troy makes his approach and called out to her with a question]

Excuse me, ma'am. Have you seen Levy? She's got blue hair, loves books and is drop-dead gorgeous.

[His brow slightly quirked as his the corner of his smirking lips]

Elize | OPEN

[teepokisses]

[A day at the beach? Elize wasn't aware there was a beach. And what happens at a beach? Swimming and having fun!

Dressed in a pink ruffled skirtini (bat wings not included), Elize can be found kneeling in the sand, building a sand Teepo, with the doll itself orbiting the girl and sometimes sitting beside the sandy doppleganger to model.]

[maybeitsmaybelline]

[Roman's kicked off his sandals for a stroll along the beach. Meet some neighbors, scare some seagulls, that kind of thing. But when he sees Teepo, he stops in his tracks. Forget the disgustingly cute girl. That thing cancels out any charm she might have had. He peers over his sunglasses with a look of unveiled disgust.]

What is that?

[God, Roman. You can't just ask that about someone's pet!]

Adela | OPEN

[enchantressofore]

[ Between her own curiosity and urging from her new companion Gaomon, Adela somehow ends up at the beach party in the Dubai sub-archway. Along with that is another miracle of miracles, with Adela actually wearing a swimsuit. Granted, it's not the most revealing thing, but professional swimwear still counts. ]

A.

[ At first, she's seated near the water underneath a beach umbrella, occupying herself by watching Gaomon play on the tide with a cool drink in hand. Not that she isn't used to the sun (with how freckled and tanned her skin is), but she's not up to playing straight away - especially without anyone she really knows there. ]

B.

[ Later she might be swimming or playing games however. Once she is she might even be smiling and laughing, finally relaxing and not worrying about how much of her skin is exposed, how scarred and calloused it might be or anything of the sort. Even if she just ends up spending the whole day with Gaomon, it isn't a waste by any means. ]

C.

[ When the sun sets and the night comes, Adela can't help watching the fireworks above with awe. She's never seen anything like it before after all, not up close like then, and along with the stars painted across the night sky... Well, it's a great way to end the night.

She'll probably be feeling whatever sunburn she has along her shoulders for at least a week though. ]

C

[ringed_fate]

[Ryou stretched and yawned. He had dozed off for a minute. Swimming had done a number on him. But in away it had been a better nap than one he'd ever had in a bed. He was starting to walk home, beach towel tucked under his arm and his hair mostly dry when he heard a loud pop.

The light of the fire works illuminated a familiar figure several yards away looking up at the sky. He smiled when he got close enough to be heard.]

Good evening, Adela.

Van Fanel | OPEN

[king_of_fanelia]

[ Welp. Here's a grumpy boy. He's in a pair of red trunks. He's also trying to stay as far away from most people as possible, mostly sitting on the beach and watching. It's also very clear that he's uncomfortable just being there. So why is he?

One might blame a girl named Sakura for his presence there, and they would be correct.

Regardless of how or why, Van seems perfectly content to be by himself and will likely remain that way without interference. But that's no fun so someone needs to go and bother him to try and let the teenage would-be-king actually have fun for once. ]

[spitfireprincess]

You aren't having fun?

[Sakura is wearing a pale pink bathing suit that shows off a small part of her mid-drift. There are frills around her hips making the bathing suit look cute more than anything else. She smiles softly at Van as she takes a seat next to him.

She loves the sand, it reminds her of home.]

Belle | Open

[namemeansbeauty]

[Belle had never really been to a beach before, so being able to come was quite an exciting experience. So making sure that her swimsuit was sitting well in the right places she was more than happy to at sit down in the sane and feel the sand between her fingers. One might find her simply sitting on a towel, enjoying what appeared to be a heavy bound book. Other might find her dipping her feet into the water, feeling the sea lap up on them. It was slightly cold, but nice.]

Anastasia || Open

[innocent_royal]

[Anastasia had never been to a beach before, but she knew it was a coast line. If she came here, she would see the ocean without sheets of ice or getting sea sick on a boat.

She is dressed in a new swimsuit, once more a pink one-piece with a matching skirt. Her previous mermaid look restricted her legs too much. But as she arrives at the beach, she immediately regrets it. The hot sand, and the oppressive sun was quickly wearing her out and harming her. But luckily, she came with a white parasol, so it was slowing down the rate of harm to her.

Anastasia was close to the water, so quickly and carefully, she makes her way in. She will stop when the water waves around her waist and chest, now safe from the heat. Of course, she still has her parasol, so congratulations to this princess for looking awkward.]

[spitfireprincess]

[Sakura is wearing a pale pink bathing suit that shows off a small part of her mid-drift. There are frills around her hips making the bathing suit look cute. She smiles softly as she moves into the water.

She isn’t bothered by the heat or the sun. She loves the sand and the beach it reminds her of home even though there isn’t very much water in the desert. When she reaches Anastasia she smiles, though it doesn’t reach her eyes like it has in the past.]

Did you put on suntan lotion?

[She holds up the bottle for her friend to see.]

The light will refract off of the surface of the water and it can still burn your skin.

[Even with a parasol.]

Zelos | Open

[chosensecond]

[Where there are beaches, there are beach babes. Even though Zelos should really, REALLY be doing something more important, he really can't resist.

Arriving in only sunglasses and swimming briefs, he was showing off his fantastic Tetha'allan chosen body for all the ladies here. The sea air reminds him of Altamira and briefly wonders how Regal is doing - and the rest of his companions in general.

But he wasn't going to let his thoughts linger on that. He was finally free from his responsibilities as a Chosen of Mana, and that drama with Cruxis and he needs to live it up while he's still alive, and more importantly, still young and sexy.

Wandering up and down the beach, Zelos checks out all the beach hunnies who are chilling or sun-bathing, looking for a suitable target to flirt with.]

[highprices]

[Crystal is sitting with a book, her body laid out on a chair. Her bathing suit is black and white with specks of gold but sleek, showing off all of her curves. Long legs stretch in front of her and a light coy smile pulls at her lips. Her eyes are obscured by sunglasses and because of that it’s difficult to see where she is looking.

After a moment she places her book aside and waves at Zelos, her curly blond hair framing either side of her sultry smile.]

Alice Margatroid || Open

[superficially_busy]

[After doing a job well done with those security dolls in Fayren, Alice didn't mind coming out for some R&R.

Dressed in a casual blue one-piece ruffled swimsuit, Alice relaxed in a beach chair, shaded by a umbrella to protect her pale skin, reading a book that was most definitely not any light reading for leisure time, but doing research. Of course Alice wouldn't stop being a superficially busy youkai.

Meanwhile, her two dolls, dressed in the same kind of swimsuit as their master, one in a darker shade of blue, and the other in red, were playing in the sand. They were building the Scarlet Devil Mansion out of sand. However, just as they were working on the mansion's clock tower, the whole thing collapsed. The red doll took a tiny toy shovel and bonked the blue doll over the head, dropping the shovel at their side. Then, they restarted construction.]

[koishi_komeiji]

"Oops..." Perhaps the collapse hadn't entirely been Shanghai's fault in the first place. Koishi was hovering nearby in a modest two piece suit, the bottoms tying on both sides. Considering the way her third eye connected to her body she could never wear normal pants.

She was hovering above where the sand castle had been, fidgeting with a toothpick flag with the design of a tulip on it. "I thought the clock tower needed a flag."

God dammit Koishi.

Yang and Blake | OPEN

[beauty_burns_gold]

[A beach party isn't something that Yang would miss. The sun, the ocean, the food! It's a great way to try and relax and not worry about things. The blonde's dressed in a simple orange bikini and a pair of sandals. Over the bikini she's wearing a lavender button down shirt, a light shirt that's left unbuttoned but allowed to drape over her shoulders. No sense in making others feel bad over her missing arm.

To make it better, Yang's brought her girlfriend along to relax with. Holding Blake's hand in her left (really her only hand, but still), the blonde couldn't help but have a cheerful smile on her face as she strode onto the beach.]

So, Blake. Where would you want to set up the blankets?

[At least she can hold those under the stump of her right arm.]

Re: Yang and Blake | OPEN

[fade_to_black]

[Blake was not used to any kind of pda, but Yang was happy so she quelled her self consciousness. It did help that no one seemed to be paying them any mind anyway. She was in her own white and black bikini that had an elegant looking diamond criss-cross along the top and she had donned a white bow for the occasion.

She was admiring the way the sun lit up her partner's gold hair when the question shook her out of her thoughts.]


Maybe not too close to the water.

[Some people were playing in the waves and while Blake didn't mind water too much, she disliked being splashed.]

Airy | OPEN

[imaginationswoes]

[At first Airy isn’t planning to come but she really wants to see the beach. She bought a new swim suit. She found the colors too cute to pass up.

Her Digimon, who she affectionately named Ebi, is ecstatic to see the ocean and is running around with a ball that Airy had gotten her at the store. She can be found with Ebi: playing catch, building sand castles and then splashing in the water. When she swims out into the ocean Ebi waits at the coast and watches nervously as if expecting something bad to happen while her friends away.

When the sun sets Airy pulls on a pair of shorts and a multi colored cover up to fight off the slight chill in the air. It’s still hot out but it’s always windy by the beach. She sits with Ebi in her lap, her eyes watching the fireworks and then stars.

Today had been a perfect distraction though she knows it won’t last. She’ll always look back on this memory with a smile.]

[teepokisses]

[Elize had been wandering up and down the beach in her pink, ruffled skirtini looking for sea shells. Whatever she collected, she fed them to Teepo for safe keeping. She has no idea what she will do with them.

But then she spots Airy. She wasn't going to pass up on talking to a new friend, so she walks on over to her with Teepo held in her arms.]

"Hi, Airy."


"Wah-hey, good to see ya!"

Crystal | Open

[highprices]

[Crystal is sitting on a beach chair with her long beautiful legs stretched out in front of her. Her bathing suit is black and white with specks of gold but sleek, showing off all of her curves. There is a book resting to her right and a drink in the cup holder on her left. There is a towel beneath her but it doesn’t look like its seen water.

She seems content to simply enjoy the kiss of the sun’s rays.

Her eyes are obscured by sunglasses and because of that it’s difficult to see where she is looking. Her short curly blond hair frames either side of a sultry smile. Her thin fingers run along the outside of her drink, enjoying the cool condensation that drips down the side of her glass.

For the moment she’s watching the waves, taking note how they crash against the beach spraying salt through the air. This is the perfect day for this kind of thing and despite her anti-social habits she enjoys listening to those around her.]

[alittlebitofhell]

[When he arrived, the first thing he noted was how many people were there. Clay wasn't exactly a people person, and his first instinct was to just leave. He didn't, though. Crystal had texted him and he was going to find her, come Hell or high water.

He found her on the beach, and just stopped, taking a seat next to her chair, his own sunglasses masking his eyes as well. He was wearing nothing but dark blue swim trunks, and didn't look over to her as he spoke.]

This seat taken?

ludger | open!

[eternalwaltz]

[old habits die hard and all that, ludger was still so used to going around and collecting anything he could. he had such a strange collection of items when he was back home, just in hopes that he could trade in such items for gald or something.

here, he kind of had the same idea. ludger, dressed up in his cat hoodie and yellow trunks, was just walking the length of the shore, trying to find anything of interest to collect.

so far, he had a plastic bucket full of different creatures, rocks, and shells. his digimon, a lopmon, followed behind him, helping to pick up anything she found as well. care to help him for more?]

[teepokisses]

[Elize obviously came with Ludger. Housemates after all! The princess-type was dressed in a pink, ruffled skirtini, and had gone off to help her friend fill his bucket. Eventually, she returned with Teepo floating beside her.]

"Ludger! We found some."


"Here ya go!"


[Teepo hovered over the bucket and began to cough in a very loud and obnoxious manner, soon spitting up roughly a handfull of seashells that Elize thought were pretty into the bucket.]

robin | open!

[thorons]

[robin wasn't used to such a thing as a beach party, her life had mostly revolved around fighting and wars. the only time she had ever been able to sneak away and enjoy the beach had been when she had visited an outrealm with her companions. they had gone to a rather.... interesting beach, full of enemies and certain members of her team had been forced into such small swimsuits. she had chosen a modest outfit, a purple one piece along with a black cardigan, to further cover herself up. she was so used to her long, heavy coat, after all.

well. anyways. robin knew nothing like that time in the outrealm would happen here. however, just in case something happened, she had her thoron tome tucked away in one of her bags.

today she was simply here to enjoy the sun and to read. she was staying underneath her umbrella that she had set up, and was simply leaning back on her chair. on another towel beside her was her digimon, dracomon, chomping away on some sandwiches she had brought with her. she could be persuaded to go swimming, but that would only happen if someone else asks her.]

[namemeansbeauty]

I guess you wanted to read at the beach as well?

[Belle was wearing a one piece as well, holding a book close to her chest. As to what kind of book it was it was hard to tell since she was covering the title.]

kirino | open!

[callmeimouto]

a.

[kirino can be found laying down on her towel, her eyes closed behind her sunglasses, simply soaking up the warmth of the day. she was underneath her large umbrella, since she didn't want to actually get too tan or anything. she was wearing a blue swimsuit today, and it was much like something she had worn back home.

she is with her digimon as well, viximon, and the digimon is laying beside her as well. however, as soon as someone walks by the digimon will get up and run towards the person- suddenly extremely curious about them. kirino moved to sit up, pushing her sunglasses up and on to her head as she moved to run after her digimon.]

Hey Viximon! [kirino will pick up the digimon before they can get to the person.] ....guess she really wanted to meet you.

b.

[come build a sandcastle with her? usually kirino wouldn't really be into this sort of thing, but.... her digimon had been digging in the sand, and now she wanted to build something. she wasn't very good at it, but she was trying at least. she had several mounds of sand already built, and now she was trying to connect them with walls. join her?]

b

[ringed_fate]

[He'll get un-shy enough to say something after watching a little while. This is something he likes, but he's so bad at introducing himself.]

Making a castle?

[ringed_fate]

a)[And he's given in to the urge to go running through the waves until they knocked him down. Laughing he gets back up and starts to give it another go. If anyone is up for a water fight or some swimming, he'll participate.]

b)
[How long had it been since he'd done something like this? He doesn't even care that he's being a dork. He hasn't done this since Amane was still alive. Why not live enough for both of them? On that note, he starts placing a few matches inside of his newly sculpted castle. ]

He sits crouches there for a moment, lost in memories of the past.]

c.
[It's later evening and Ryou has completely passed out without intending to. His hair is still kind wet and he's laying on his stomach with his face propped up on one arm. Feel free to wake, bug, or prank him]

B

[sizedoesntmatter]

Hey, Bakura.

[Yugi smiled, walking up to the other and kneeling over to get a closer look at the castle. It was pretty amazing.]

This is pretty amazing.

[dance_ix_dance]

[Like the melodious nocturne would miss a day at the beach! He's for once not in his usual attire, which would have been too cumbersome, but in beach shorts that have musical notes on them. He smiles to himself as he strums on his sitar.

He fits right in! Stay out of sight his ass! Demyx is the recon king. And no one suspects a thing....unless you notice the waves near him occasionally match the rhythm of what he's playing.

He's completely and totally a normal human. Though it really is too bad. Man, could he show off near the water if he wanted to.]

Couldn't resist >.>

[enchantressofore]

[ Oh wow.

At this point Adela hasn't gone out to have much fun with other people yet, and is instead content to sit and watch while Gaomon goes out and has fun. However, the sound of music attracts the red head's attention and she follows it, listening to it. Is it Dante again? Perhaps not--

Definitely not, as she approaches she sees that it's someone else entirely.

She stops a few feet away, staring as if mesmerized by the tune dancing through the air. She'll realize what she's doing if she's called out on it, but maybe she can listen for just a little longer. ]

locked to yui.

[deadcenter]

[he wasn't even going to go to the beach party, but he had wanted to go for a good swim. it was a great way to get some exercise, and of course he would go through amazing lengths in order to get a workout in. he didn't want to even look at or deal with anyone else on the beach however, he knew that he wouldn't be able to handle any of the women.

well, maybe one woman, but she was cool and she was his friend. he hadn't known if yui was actually at the party or not, but he had sent her a text message anyways.

yo I'm at the beach but I'm hiding from all the other harlots. Come find me if you wanna hang out. and he had made sure to give her the right location as to where he was. he was still along the beach, but he was very far away from any other person.

once yui finds him, he'll still be far off and into the water, swimming around and doing as many laps as possible before he finally lifts his head to notice her at the shoreline. senji will then swim back to shore, stepping on to the sand and grinning at her as he wipes some water out of his face. he was wearing just simple black swimming trunks, with a line of red down the side. he had no problem showing off his body, but it was just difficult to handle others. luckily, yui was covered up enough that it didn't bother him. that much, at least.]

Yo! You found me.

[graduations]

[ What the heck kind of rude text was that!? Yui was offended on behalf of her literally everyone she knew. When she found him she didn't look too pleased with him. ]

You really shouldn't call people harlots just because they're wearing what you're supposed to at the beach, Senji-san. That's very rude. And a little hypocritical, when you're dressed like that..

[ GOD WHY DO MEN ALWAYS HAVE TO TAKE THEIR SHIRTS OFF AROUND HER WHAT IS WRONG WITH EVERYONE ]

[stairsbro]

[ dave is not about to avoid a beach party. he's sporting a plain black pair of swim trunks that's accompanied by a white hood because he is a fair freckled child and the sun is a cruel mistress. sunglasses go without saying.

he can be found during the day or at night (a) picking up shells on the beach with a quiet interest, (b) sitting on a towel under an umbrella playing on his phone, (c) building a sand castle masterpiece, (d) popping up out of nowhere holding a watergun. run. (e) he does end up in the water at some point with that hood off, in a floating tube. ]

c. Castles in the Sand

[imaginationswoes]

Finally get to wear sunglasses in an appropriate place?

[Airy steps up behind him with a smile. She’s wearing a bikini that suits her personality and there is a small Digimon with what looks like a hamburger hat trailing at her ankle. Her fingers are hooked behind her back; she’d been walking along the beach when she spotted Dave building his sand castle.]

Are you going to name your amazing castle?

[It really looks like a mound of sand to Airy but she thinks it’s safer not to comment on that.]

Emerald | OPEN

[unhappy]

[ It's not entirely surprising that Emerald's sitting out of the fun in the sun. She's there, but she doesn't look entirely enthusiastic about it. Or at all. Cinder just recently got put in jail so she's going through a lot, since Cinder was basically her entire life. It literally meant that half of the people she even remotely liked were in prison. The other half were Mercury, who was insistent that they not go after Cinder.

Emerald still didn't know exactly what she was going to do, but she had a feeling if she kept moping around Mercury's apartment, he'd literally kick her. So here she was, lying on a towel on her stomach in a bikini and sunglasses, messing around on her phone. There's a pair of flip flops about three feet from her towel, but she doesn't appear to be worried about them or the lack of umbrella or much else really. ]

here, have mullet boy

[dance_ix_dance]

[Demyx had gotten up from his previous spot because it was getting to crowded. He didn't always mind people, but he felt like he needed a semi-calmer spot to play. That's what he was hunting for when he spotted now-familiar looking green hair.]

Oh! Hi Emerald!

[Memories aside, he may as well say hello. Plus, she looked a little upset for someone at a party.]

Mariko Ishiwatari | Open

[majestiq]

Intro
[When the offer to go to the beach reached Mariko through the network, her heart just pounded with excitement. A beach, in Dubai of all places? She has fond memories of the city since her family has offices here. She remembers the days her mother takes her on business trips and her caretaker Ringo tags along to do music performances on Dubai's rock clubs. It is almost summer in Japan when she was drawn to Genessia, so the beach was already in her immediate plans. So without even hesitating, she takes up the offer and goes!

Only this version of Dubai was slightly different. There's robots on the streets, there's driverless cars, more artificial islands than the ones she remember, and most of all - the Burj Khalifa is no longer the tallest skyscraper in the city. Possibly on the planet. What bizarro world did she step into? But all of that just added to her excitement. She is saving up on her red bills to stay at a hotel, so sadly, she would have to return to Genessia for the night. Such is life...]

Action
[Walking towards the beach chairs with her duffel bag and wearing a cover-up, Mariko looks around while taking her cover-up off when the heat is starting to get to her, revealing a sporty two-piece that she's wearing underneath. Being at a beach alone with strangers is pretty embarrassing. A flush of pink fills her cheeks as she stands there in her swimsuit. She has her music player strapped on her arm, and her headphones still around her neck. She approaches your character]

Hey. Is this spot taken?

Action

[imaginationswoes]

[Airy looks up, her own bathing suit is also a bikini though she doesn’t seem to bothered by the display of skin since she’s covered in sand. A small Digimon that looks like its wearing a hamburger bun on its head pauses as well and looks up.

A smile stretches over Airy’s lips.] Yeah! I mean it’s not taken! [She hastily adds.]

You are welcome to join us.

[She giggles trying to banish the awkwardness.]

Want to build a sandcastle with us? If you don’t want to get sandy you can be the architect. It just means you tell us what to do. [It’s fun.]

Weiss | OPEN

[whiteas]

A. Walking along the water edge
[ Relaxation time? Absolutely. There may be a lot of work ahead, but Weiss didn't mind using 'making sure the area was secure' as an excuse to get some R&R. She deserved it and it wasn't like she didn't have her phone on for emergency alerts. A little break wasn't going to hurt anyway and frankly? She looked fantastic... Even if she was just walking around the beach (somehow, in those heels) collecting sea shells, sand dollars, starfish.. things like that in a bucket. She partially wanted to show them to her team because frankly, for a girl from the northernmost continent that was pretty much snow-central, the beach was great and she.. tended to miss out on any previous beach parties. But she also wanted to make sure that Ruby didn't somehow find them and stick a starfish on the back of her neck. It's unclear which is the real reason. ]

B. Volleyball
[ If there is one thing that Weiss tends to be regardless of how much older or more mature she tries to insist she is, a competitive streak is hard to get rid of. Which is why Weiss approaches the net with something she explicitly left the party to go get. The beach ball can be nice for people playing in the water, but Weiss wants to play beach volleyball. It's one of the few sports you don't have to be a specific body type to be good at, so her lithe skater/dancer/gymnast figure isn't going to put her at a disadvantage like it would with basketball or wrestling or any other number of sports.

Volleyball required timing, precision, speed, and being able to slap really hard. Weiss considered herself an excellent at all of those qualities. She removes her sarong so that it won't get in the way of her legs, standing on the court and waiting until someone comes nearby- at which point if they look like they might be good competition, she's going to spike it at their feet and declare a challenge. If they don't, they may need to approach her to get her to talk to them right now. ]

[king_of_fanelia]

[ Well, she definitely gets the attention of a teenage boy walking by. When the ball lands at his feet and sprays up sand he seems startled, his eyes on the ball before going to the girl who had hit it towards him. For the moment he's silent, simply picking it back up and approaching Weiss so that he can give it back. ]

Here.

[ He might not get that it's a challenge to a game, but she's the only one around who could have thrown it so it must be hers, right? ]

Yui | OPEN

[graduations]

[ Yui is dressed conservatively but cutely for the occasion, happy to be there. She has no problem playing in the water, definitely looking like she's feeling much better since the last couple of times she appeared in public. It still hurts, but Yui's always been one to put on a brave face even when she's not feeling herself. Her friends back home couldn't seem to tell, she doubts anyone here will be able to either... and it isn't as if she isn't having any fun at all. She's making sure she enjoys herself, playing and splashing around as much as she can with anyone she knows.

Of course, she ends up running out of the water and hopping as she shakes her foot because she got a piece of kelp wrapped around it. It's perfectly healthy, happy kelp, but it still feels slimy. ;; ]

Ewww!

waves

[spitfireprincess]

Are you alright?

[Sakura is called by Yui’s animated shouting and hopping. She hasn’t gone into the ocean yet and so her hair and pink frilly bathing suit are completely dry. Her skin smells like freshly applied suntan lotion which is pungent, even in the salty breeze.

Her gaze drops to the piece of kelp and she blinks in confusion. She’d pull away the piece of kelp except that Yui is shaking her foot too much.]

Ike | OPEN

[blue_flames]

[Ike doesn't have that much experience with beaches, and that which he does have was mostly marred by fighting. This is honestly his first time on a beach as a tourist. He does know how to swim, at least.

Which is why he's simply taking a walk (or at some points a jog) along the shoreline. At the moment, he's clad only in blue swimming trunks, and even those are a touch tight on him. When you're as tall and as muscular as he is, you tend to have a hard time finding clothes that fit. And when Ike is wearing only a pair of swimming trunks, well...let's just say that his tall, thick, and ripped physique is turning heads everywhere he goes.

Though Ike doesn't especially care. He's used to it. At least the hushed whispers aren't as common here as they were back home.]

[thorons]

[robin played with her dracomon at the shoreline, watching the digimon splash with his tail. she had been so occupied with her digimon that she hadn't even noticed someone jogging up behind her. she turned when she heard the sound of his feet against the sand, and she blinked at him. oh! it was ike, right. luckily, she was used to shirtless men, someone like vaike had never covered up and he was rather large as well.

robin was wearing a simple purple swimsuit, and a light black cardigan over top. she smiled at ike once he was closer.]

You know, I believe swimming would make for a better exercise that running, especially at the beach.

Alice | OTA

[gastronomics]

[ Bikini time! Alice is all over the place at this party. From playing with the beach ball to relaxing in the inner tube that she brought to the party, she's having a blast.

That includes ducking beneath her inner tube and just holding on on the inside so no one can actually see her, looking like some kind of lonely, lost inner tube... then popping out at people to try to scare them! ]

[firefandance]

[Yukiko had spent a lot of time out of the water, but being at the beach she knew for a fact that one should really go for a swim now and again. So making sure her hair was up, she slowly waded into the water and just as she was about to make her way for a swim, she couldn't help but notice the poor lonely inner tube.

Slowly making her way over, she was wonder if someone might have lost it. At least that was what she thought until someone popped out of it, causing her to jump back in fright.]

[A. Food Experiments]

[A day off turned into a day at the beach. And that day at the beach turned into a chance to try out some burger recipes. Ryo couldn’t help that he liked to experiments and try out different foods. And going to a beach where there would be a lot of people seemed like one of the best places to do said experiments.

So he’d broken out his old food cart to help with his cooking. He only planned to do this for maybe an hour or so before calling it quits, because he probably should enjoy his time off. The Nakiba logo adorned the front of the cart. Laid out was a spread of different types of burgers, all for free, though all still prepared with the same level of skill like he would use for any paid food.

All of the burgers are Seafood based. Hawaiian BBQ Salmon Burgers With Coconut Caramelized Pineapple, Shrimp Burgers With Chipotle Cream And Coconut Peach Salsa, Lobster Burgers With Browned Butter Lemon Aioli, Ahi Tuna Burgers with Grilled Pineapple, Curried Salmon Burger Lettuce Wraps, Corn And Monterey Jack Stuffed Shrimp Burgers and a BBQ Salmon Burgers.]

[B. Everything Else]

[After he's done with all his cooking, he's around the beach doing things from lounging in his and Alice's beach tent (It fits 15 people), being dragged around by Alice or just walking around by himself.]

B

[gastronomics]

[ She's been in and out lurking around his food all day, but they're at the beach. She can't bring fancy equipment with and it's Ryo's cart and frankly she wants to play in the water, so she's just been sneaking in and tasting everything he makes for him. Alice is the official food taste tester of the day, no ifs ands or buts.

But right now, she's at war with a seagull. One apparently was in a stand off with her to try to steal one of her space pops, which she'd made ahead of time just for her and Ryo and maybe Dave if he asked. They outside is carefully made planetary candy, the insides have different types of foam and mousse fillings that burst in your mouth when you suck through the candy to them. ]

Get out of here, seagull!

[ The words are muffled by the fact that she has one of her suckers in her mouth, pushing her cheek out while she pouts and tries to stomp the seagull away from the front of the tent, despite that he's trying to get into where she is with no fear. She clearly needs help, Ryo. ]
