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?]

"Oh, I'm Ritsuka. It's nice to meet you!"

Yes, she's saying that even though he hasn't even given his own name yet. And no, she's not even remotely deterred by the pickliness.

Ah.

[sisters, give him strength. he shakes off some of the water from his hat before setting it back on his head.]

I'm Kni.

[he glances back over his shoulder to the beach where he sees vash hanging around the grill, talking to other people.]
prunedworlds: (let's be friends)

[personal profile] prunedworlds 2023-08-28 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
That name is familiar, Ritsuka's just trying to remember where she heard it when she notices the direction the kid glances in and oh. That's right!

"Ah, you're Vash's little brother?"

The little brother the guy kept talking about when she was helping him find manga at the anime con.

[little brother? damn it, vash.]

Ugh. [kni pulls at the hat brim, letting out an annoyed sound. was it worth correcting her, even if it meant going through the somewhat tedious task of explaining?] Yes, we're brothers.

[reasonably, kni knows vash probably calls him younger because it was easier, but kni takes a certain amount of pride in being twins. he looks down at the water, kicking his foot through the waves.]

So, are you another one of his friends?
prunedworlds: (let's be friends)

[personal profile] prunedworlds 2023-08-30 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
Really, if he corrected her, she'd probably just assume that Vash had actually meant 'little' as in smaller.

... Look, she's seen a lot of weird stuff, she doesn't question a lot of it at this point.

"Yeah, I met him at that con last month, showed him where to find some manga."

Which is plenty to be friends as far as Ritsuka's concerned.

[he's still considering it, stand by.

ah.]


I see, so you're the reason he came back with those comics. [manga, kni.] Did you help him pick them out, too?

prunedworlds: (what's going on?)

[personal profile] prunedworlds 2023-08-31 04:46 pm (UTC)(link)
"A little? I showed him where to find the ones with lots of romance stories so he could pick out what he liked. I had to ask the guy at the booth to pull out the ones that are westerns though, because I don't know as much about what's out for those..."

It's not a large genre in manga, and the last time she'd been up to date on that stuff was technically eight years ago...

[personal profile] ornamentals 2023-09-10 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, they weren't terrible.

[that's as close to a compliment as he'll get to right now. he crouches back down in the water, one hand dipping under the water to scoop some of the little shells rolling over the sand.]

The romantic titles were bad, but Vash likes the really trashy ones.
prunedworlds: (let's be friends)

[personal profile] prunedworlds 2023-09-10 10:22 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, I'm glad if you enjoyed them."

Ritsuka's known enough tsundere types to assume that's probably what he meant. That said, she really can't comment on Vash's tastes, so.

"Oh, did you read those ones too?"
ornamentals: (6)

[personal profile] ornamentals 2023-09-14 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[unfortunately, kni does have some tsundere-like qualities, but don't let him know.]

I'll read anything at least once. Even if it's mushy romance stories.

[bleh]
prunedworlds: (let's be friends)

[personal profile] prunedworlds 2023-09-14 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
It's fine, Ritsuka will just mentally note him as a shy tsundere and say no more.

Well, maybe she'll say something to Vash later, but.

"I guess that's one way to do it... But there's a lot of stuff to read, so you don't have to read ones you don't like, you know?"
