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?]

Regrettably, we can't all be used to Cthulhu shit.

Yeah... Summer's not. Really my thing.

[And he will be spending as much of it as possible in the cooler areas of Hyrule going forward, thank.]

I kinda miss wearing shorts. I just got a new pair from the, you know. [The shenanigans with the chickens and eggs and all?]

[personal profile] infezione 2023-08-23 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I get you.

[Not a bad idea, really.]

Oh, that whole weird thing with the chickens?
sunforging: (you'll always be the one)

[personal profile] sunforging 2023-08-23 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Kinda reminds me of home, tell y' truthfully. Round this time of year all sorts of folk'd be gatherin' around Costa for the usual Moonfire fireworks.

[personal profile] incendiarize 2023-08-23 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. I managed to piss some off on accident? And man, my legs haven't hurt that bad since my first vision. When, uh, I hiked across town in a trance.

[He got chased quite a ways and got shorts he won't wear :c ]

Life's a Beach
[When Josuke shows up, people might notice something... new about his appearance.

That is to say: scales. There's some metallic blue scales under his eyes and reaching up to his temples, more encircle each of his wrists and there's a few patches across his shoulders and another on the small of his back if anyone's looking.

Right now, he's taking time to get some sunblock on and if he notices anyone looking in his direction or lingering nearby--]


Hey, have you reapplied sunscreen recently?

[Either he's oblivious to any staring or he's pointedly ignoring it.]

Winding Down
[... Where did Josuke get that guitar? Actually, he's not even sure, it got handed to him and the person left before he could give it back.

So now he's stuck here with a guitar.

At some point as people are sitting around the fire, though, he'll start playing, without even really thinking about it.

... He looks a little perplexed as he finishes up with that song, though? Hm.]

[I. Beachside]

Did someone say beach episode? You better believe Ritsuka is there. Most of the time will see her sporting shorts and a crop top as she flits from one person or activity to the next, clearly enjoying the chance to socialize. Places you might find her include:

- Checking out the tasty smells coming from the grills.

- Approaching anyone she knows or who otherwise looks interesting to talk to who happens to be lazy around the beach.

- Doing some good old beach lazing herself.

- Trying to round up people and see if anyone has a bat and a blindfold for some good old traditional beach watermelon smashing. (Wait someone brought watermelons--?)


[II. Seaside]

Of course, sooner or later, Ritsuka can't help but go for a swim. The day's so sunny and hot and the water just looks so good, after all. So there she is in a cute two piece swimsuit enjoying the nice cool waves.

"Are you coming in?"


[III. Fireside]

Of course, Ritsuka's going to stick around for the bonfire. A good summer episode just isn't complete without it, right? She'll happily say hi and motion you over to an empty spot nearby if she spots you. Or you might find her very intently focused on trying to get a marshmallow toasted just right.

Actually, maybe don't interrupt her concentration on that last bit. Or do and see what happens.


[Wildsidecard]

Nothing quite fit? Have another idea? Feel free to poke me in PM or Discord, or just throw something at me!

Yeah? Kind of a shame the fireworks holiday was last month, then... Moonfire?
prunedworlds: (what's going on?)

[personal profile] prunedworlds 2023-08-23 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
She might be beginning to realize that her threshold for that stuff is very, very skewed compared to most people. Only a tiny bit so far, but still.

"So this is your first time?" Phrasing, Ritsuka. "Though even if you don't go swimming, there's plenty to do on the beach too."

Well, the volleyball might be out of the question with that leg, but there's other stuff besides just sitting around pretending to read.
sunforging: (the one to fare the storm)

[personal profile] sunforging 2023-08-23 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Aye, it's a bit like that was. Folk shoot off all manner of fireworks off the coasts of all La Noscea, an' there's usually a whole obstacle course set up at the shores'f Costa Del Sol. Celebrates summer, 'cept a lot of times it gets crashed by giant sharks.

[He winces.]

Did you even get anything good out of those eggs?
fionnuisce: (don't leave me to sleep all alone)

[personal profile] fionnuisce 2023-08-23 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
Just giving her the world's most flat look for a moment. You know what you said.

"You know, sometimes I swear everyone's got some criteria I'll never understand--'socialize, take a vacation, no wait not like that'." He rolled his eyes, sounding no worse than mildly annoyed.

"But sure, I'll ask: what do you suggest?"
prunedworlds: (let's be friends)

[personal profile] prunedworlds 2023-08-23 11:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Sometimes Ritsuka simply does or says things before thinking them through. Or thinking at all. Surely Waver has realized this by now.

"Well, going for a walk along the beach is always nice. Most people like to wade when they do that, but you don't have to. It looks like there's people cooking stuff on the grills, too. Oh! And there's watermelons."

You know, for smashing open and eating.

.... It's possible she's the one who brought the watermelons, but she's admitting nothing.
fionnuisce: (words that would give my life meaning)

[personal profile] fionnuisce 2023-08-23 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
"..."

This is the look of someone begrudgingly having to admit he didn't hate that idea.

"...I guess watermelons wouldn't be so bad. You planning on breaking them open?"
onahairtrigger: (💎 thirteen.)

[personal profile] onahairtrigger 2023-08-23 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh, shit, watermelon splitting?" Josuke's grinning widely. "I don't think I've done that in years..."

He sure hasn't done it since he joined POKEGO, at any rate. "I don't think I've brought anything with me for it, but I bet it shouldn't be too hard to find stuff."
prunedworlds: (cheeky grin)

[personal profile] prunedworlds 2023-08-23 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah! Just gotta find a bat and a blindfold."

She apparently did not think that far ahead.
prunedworlds: (cheeky grin)

[personal profile] prunedworlds 2023-08-23 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yup, you got it!"

Ritsuka sounds just as excited about this. It really is the little things, isn't it?

"Yeah, I guess even just a big stick and a shirt or something would work if we have to..."
fionnuisce: (and lead me straight to your heart)

[personal profile] fionnuisce 2023-08-23 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
...Bless your heart for trying.

"You didn't-...yeah, okay. It can't be too hard to track down something that'll serve the same function, at least."
prunedworlds: (let's be friends)

[personal profile] prunedworlds 2023-08-23 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Look, the watermelons are here, that's the most important part. The rest can be improvised if needed.

"Right. I was gonna go ask around soon, actually."

She just got a little sidetracked by Waver sitting there looking all mopey.
onahairtrigger: (💎 one.)

[personal profile] onahairtrigger 2023-08-24 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, if we've gotta... Let's at least ask around first, just in case anyone brought stuff we could use. Pretty sure I saw a guy around here with a bat..."

[personal profile] reignitions 2023-08-24 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
Fireworks and an obstacle course, huh... Sounds like fun. Even if it gets crashed by giant sharks.
sunforging: (you'll always be the one)

[personal profile] sunforging 2023-08-24 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
Aye, it's loads a' fun. 'Specially when you're dodgin' the bombs that get dropped here n' there on the course.

[what]

Ain't easy t' make it all the way to the top, but s' fun tryin'.
