2; THE BEACH EPISODE

WHO: Everyone!!
WHERE: Starting on the network, then The Beach!
WHEN: Forward dated to the last weekend of August
WHAT: Beach Episode!!
WARNINGS: None hopefully??



[With no context, no preamble, no nothing. Early on the last weekend of August, Eunie greeted the network with a message.]

text; un: fortuneclovers

hey
Eunie here, changed my un
so this month was fuckin awful
im goin to the beach. Maybe have a little fun there to get the mind off all the bullshit
if you’re seein this youre invited too. come on and lets have a good time, bring what you want

Oh yeah
im bringin a volleyball for the nets
anyone who wants a game come at me. >:)


🌭 getting grilled

[So ended the text one humble weekend morning. Eunie didn’t have specific plans for this, she just sort of ran off and invited the whole app to the beach without considering the logistics. She did say to bring what you want but she was social enough to arrange some things for a bit of a beach gathering.

It wasn’t a lot, a few coolers and BBQ grills people can hand around and either loiter or cook at if they have the capability. If they don’t though they will be removed from the grill. But maybe that’s part of the fun.]


🌊 ocean owned

[Aside from the coolers, there’s obviously the beautiful sea people can surf or swim in all they want! The water is fine, a little cold but in a way that felt refreshing from the hottest days of the last legs of summertime. The tides were even and there was no real risk of drifting away, but don’t go too far out unless you’re a strong swimmer. There are lifeguards on duty but we’ve had enough trauma this month, we don’t need a drowning scare. Or do, I’m not your mom.]

⛱️ avoid the burn

[Not a swimmer? Well then catch up on your tan under the share umbrellas and towels laid on the sand. Or your sunburn. It is a bright and sunny weekend after all so no matter what you’re catching up on, get your sunscreen on too.

It’s also just as good for a little break from the swimming and the music to steady yourself before you head out or head back into the water or some piers you can walk down on your own for the same experience to just catch the sea breeze while staying up and about.]


🏐 bolleyvall bapped

[That being said, Eunie was not joking about there being volleyball. There are a few nets on the beach for a few different games to go on at once. Organize a tournament or just play casually. Remember though that there are normies on the beach and any Earth Shattering volleyball spikes might cost some property damage claim money. This isn’t death soccer, people.

Who am I kidding, this is going to turn into a disaster either way. Go ham, challenge the bird girl or just watch the chaos unfold and place your bets, kids.]


🎇 bonfire lit up your life

[As the day winded down and night settled on the beach, some folks were headed home or have gone there already to get the sand out of their shorts. But those who stuck around will get the pleasure of sitting by a bonfire not me as they bid a fond farewell to the summertime and summer vacation.

Or get in touch with their inner arsonist in a less destructive way.

Sit, relax and socialize, take in the ambiance of the twilight by the fire, roast some marshmallows or hot dogs. Maybe decide to camp out for the night. It is a pretty peaceful time, and it’s these small moments of calm with friends and loved ones we have to cherish the most when in recovery, right?]

"I think he must've tried hitting on the ladies at the palace there, too, because when we got there a lot of them were avoiding him."

Merlin is both a wondrous source of potential gossip and also one that Ritsuka does not feel the least bad for talking about. He tends to bring it on himself with his ridiculous antics.

[ swimming is a fool's chore no thank you. ]

...I unfortunately DO know what a shark is, and it's definitely one of the reasons I don't wanna' go into deep water. That's their house, not mine. But I haven't seen Jaws.

[ the shoulder touch is so concerning. Oh no. Quick, drink the daqiri--]

We just got a TV at the cottage and I will now be avoiding any and all shark-based media.

Know what would be fun though, at the end of the night.
A bonfire.
Don't people usually do beach fires....

Less strenuous than you may think. It was a culture shock, to be sure. But I received some knowledge of the passage of time. [He paused again, habitually. Trying to explain how he was summoned was precisely what made this subject complicated, his own knowledge of it was somewhat scattered. But nonetheless, he tried to find the words.]

In a manner of speaking. To the average person, it is known as a story, a myth, however my experiences are very real. [There is a very noticeable somberness in his tone reflecting on it.] "Heroic Spirits" whose tales are renowned throughout the world are able to be summoned by Mages and exist, thus fight, in the modern era.

[He is just like this!!! On Purpose!!! WITH RIZZ!!! HE'S WORSE THAN YOUR BROTHER, ROSE.]

I am, thus far. I'm well used to situations taking a turn for the dire the moment I arrive somewhere. [A bit of a sad chuckle.] The times of calm weren't ones I could enjoy for long.

"I'm good either way, just wanna know what I'm in for. Though, I do have pretty good spatial awareness..."

Maybe he should do the spinning. It'd definitely be funnier to watch.

[ the ocean is scary rose how can you be so calm. ]

But--

But what if when I'm getting up-to-my-ankles.

A big wave comes up and--craaassssh, now I'm in the deep part?!

Lifeguards.... oh, he supposes that makes sense.
Also he doesn't see people in the water. he's totally blind. He sees nothing. he does not see it.

But then, when Ritsuka offers to go with him, well.
He feels his lack of pride rising up in him like a sunflower turning towards the sun.

He has absolutely no shame.

He bows himself nearly in half. His hands clapping together in front of him.

"Please go with me."

"So you think you're good enough to need a handicap?"

He should be careful, sand can be trickier to keep your footing on, after all. Not to mention the inevitable trolling of anyone watching.
prunedworlds: (hopeful light)

[personal profile] prunedworlds 2023-09-03 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Luckily for him, Ritsuka's not the type to make fun of him for something like that. Well, maybe giggle just a little at that over the top bow, but if anything she's just happy herself that he'd trust her that much.

"All right, sure."

She'll even hold out her hand for him to take if he wants it.

"I'll make sure to just stick to the edge, too, promise."

Oh my gooooooooooooooooood, staaaahp!!! [There's just more pathetic flailing on his end.] And yes!! But I thought you were on MY side!!! The trechery!!!

[He considers that, looking at his hands, like this dumbass is trying to understand how a person holds four guns at once because of course he went there.]

Like...do you pre-load them? Or like. Juggle them? Where do you hold them all?

[He flashes Edward a grin.]

Sure, you should! I'd LOVE to hear what you've got to say. It's super fun having someone go off on a piece of cruddy media.

[He's gonna hate it so much. ]

[Wise move on her part!]

Obvi! There isn't a better styled Zebrataur anywhere in the WHOLE city.

[Okay so he's literally the only Zebrataur in the city, possibly in the whole world, but that's besides the POINT. He is fabulous and she is rightfully pointing this out!]

So! How do you wanna spend the rest of this night, Rosey? You got any plans to do something wild and unpredictable? Or are you just gonna relax by the pretty fire?

Haha. I suppose that's a good point. Bokoblin heads are harder than a watermelon...

[ Don't mind if mr. vampire just sits down and pulls up a chunk of watermelon for himself, looking pleased with how things turned out.
Anyone else who may have been watching will be offered some melon as well as Jinwoo looks over--that question being asked making complete sense. Right. ]


--Ah, right. You're from a different world, I am not even sure if you'd have heard about it before.

I grew up in Japan, and when I was a teen, this tradition was called Suikawari.
'Suika' meaning 'melon,' and 'wari' meaning 'to split.'

It was a game thought up by young people, as watermelon could be pretty unwieldy to cut into at the beach--so making a game of hitting it until it split was thought to be far more fun.

To crack it in one hit is impressive.
keyofelde: (I think it's wonderful)

[personal profile] keyofelde 2023-09-04 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
That's incredible. I had no idea you could make marshmallows at home!

[Then again, Souta is just in the early stages of learning to cook. Veeery early stages.]

Let's start with fruity.

keyofelde: (Oh dear)

[personal profile] keyofelde 2023-09-04 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
Oh. [Oh dear.] I imagine it couldn't be much worse than if I tried!

[That's not saying much, as Souta has literally never tried grilling before. But he's still trying to make Elliot feel better. You know, at least trying.]

I think roasting marshmallows is pretty hard to mess up. We should be fine.

[Right?]

[He... feels a little bad, admittedly.]

It's fine. I can still look at you.

[Very unlikely she'll trigger it a second time, unless she starts talking about chess and knights or something. It helps that she's not a six foot something broad-shouldered general.]

You could. I would have recovered eventually. ... Probably. [And if not, well, that's what the murder option is for.]

An aura? [Interesting.] Something like that helped me before—in my past life. A certain woman would speak to me and make me concentrate on her voice.

You resemble her. Perhaps that is why I was able to listen.
bebest: (And if I'm fanned out)

[personal profile] bebest 2023-09-04 11:21 am (UTC)(link)
Riiight? They don't come on land to us, so we don't need to go to them. Nooooo thanks.

[He's looking out for you, Buddy.]

That's smart! But hey, congrats on the electricity AND the TV. I can give you a list of FABulous shows you've just gotta watch.

You know, you're right! That's usually what happens. Then people make s'mores. Have you ever has a s'more, Babe?

[He makes it sound like something rude and decadent, but it's just Zulius and his sweet tooth again. ]
fiddlestick: (elliot203)

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2023-09-04 08:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh.

[A LONG PAUSE. How to put it delicately that he has anxiety]

...Yeah, that's not happening.
poisontippedcure: (Default)

[personal profile] poisontippedcure 2023-09-04 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Then I'll pull you out.

[It is scary---but significantly less so when you can breathe underwater.]

Of all that I'm unable to do, water I can at least manage.
poisontippedcure: (47)

[personal profile] poisontippedcure 2023-09-04 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[She smiles again.]

As much as I'd like to, I'm afraid I'll have to wait until I'm a bit better to do something "wild and unpredictable."
poisontippedcure: (50)

[personal profile] poisontippedcure 2023-09-04 09:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[sounds like a personal problem]

Yes, I once felt the same. As I did here, until last month.

[She shakes her head.]

Regardless of what state I'm in, however, I'm sure I could handle trouble on the beach.
hoshikiri: (kaiten.)

[personal profile] hoshikiri 2023-09-04 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
It isn't...? [He wasn't going to ASK why not, but he was curiously tilting his head.

...

And then he remembered someone else he knew that badly struggled with not panicking and needed to go through every loop to prevent it. Zhian. And her constantly strained nerves.]


Ah. I believe I understand...
fiddlestick: (elliot146)

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2023-09-04 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Y-Yeah, that's true. Not like we'll be judged on our marshmallow roasting skills anyway!

[That's right, you tell yourself that Elliot]
fionnuisce: (words that would give my life meaning)

[personal profile] fionnuisce 2023-09-04 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
I promise not to tell anyone if there ends up being a pile of charcoal next to you.
fiddlestick: (elliot109)

[personal profile] fiddlestick 2023-09-04 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Now Zulius, why would you ever think I'd be that petty?

[He smiles in a way that just screams that yes, yes he is being petty in fact.]
twofoldfury: (5)

[personal profile] twofoldfury 2023-09-04 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
If trouble arises, you should have no need to handle it. Allow me to take care of any trouble for you, you deserve to relax and enjoy your day.

[He didn't think anything would come up except like on the volleyball side but considering he was just as likely to make that trouble uhhhh.]
