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?]

[Today is certainly a thrilling episode of Learning Ass Words with Zulius, all right! And Edward, the captive audience, responds to this lesson by...splashing some water in Zulius's general direction the second he's got his guard down. He's not trying to get him wet, and indeed is actually amused by how words have shifted in meaning since his time, but.]

You could've told me you were talking about arse from the start, you arse. [He holds no real offense for it, though.] Here I thought you had a fondness for treasure like a real pirate.

[There's a pause.]

Well, I didn't bring my guns to the beach with me, or I would demonstrate. [Let's see if he can explain this.] I'm not certain if this is the same now, but in 1721, you had to ram the ball and some gunpowder into the barrel first, and then pour a thimbleful of powder into the flash pan and cock the hammer back. When you pull the trigger, the spark from the hammer coming forward ignites the powder in the flash pan, and that causes the powder in the barrel to ignite, which sends the bullet out in a little explosion. Reloading means you need to do it all over again. [Pause.] So, aye, generally we used our cutlasses instead.

[A tired chuckle, and a shake of his head.]

It's not quite as sexy when you're in the middle of it, holding hostages for a few crates of medicines.

[Wow!! WOW!! This attack!!!! on his person!!!! Zulius lets out a SQUEAL, prancing on his stupid zebra hooves out of the way of any water that might DARE touch him.]

Hay hay HAAAAY!!! And nah, I grew up rich, I don't need treasure. But I can always appreciate a good ass!!!

[He is an ass coniseur!!!

Anyway he kinda just. Blinks.
]

...OKay Ed, sweetie, like, 80% of those words meant nothing to me. But that sounds super complicated. I think these days they just like...stick a bullet in the bullet place and close it? That's what it looks like in movies anyway.

[He waves a hand airily.]

I mean, probs not, but people can really stretch past reality when it comes to their piratey fantasies.

Never let your guard down around a pirate! [He calls this out with a teasing laugh, and splashes more water in Zulius's direction. He's not really trying to catch him, it's just that watching Zulius prancing out of the way on his stupid hooves is really amusing to him.] Did none of your moving pictures ever teach you that?

[A snort of laughter.]

You think it sounds complicated now, try doing it while someone else is also trying to kill you. Easier to have four guns and worry about reloading later.

[The voice of experience right there.]

I suppose so. In truth...some of the best pirates I knew wanted out of the life. It's a merry one and free, but it's not one that's likely to end well, even for the best of us. [A small shrug.] I should like to see one of those "piratey fantasies" sometime. If only to see what they've gotten wrong.

[Boy oh boy wait till someone shows him a single fictional depiction of Blackbeard.]

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. ]
jackdawvision: (cause i've been living in a half life)

[personal profile] jackdawvision 2023-09-07 12:49 pm (UTC)(link)
A little water won't kill you! [But he'll let up for now and just tread water from here on out.]

Juggle—my god, I wish I knew how to juggle. [But he shakes his head.] No, it's like—you load all four of them in case you need to go into a fight, and then you fire one gun at a time, put that back in its holster, then draw another one until they're all spent.

[Edward is going to hate so many things about Hollywood pirates.]

Any recommendations, then?
bebest: (It's very quaint it's very sweet)

[personal profile] bebest 2023-09-08 06:32 pm (UTC)(link)
It might!! You don't know!!

[It will not, he's just being dramatic!!!

He lets out a soft ooooohhhhhhhh, nodding.
]

Okay, yeah. That makes WAY more sense than what I had going on in my head.

Hmmm, the Pirates of the Caribbean movies are pretty fun? DEFFO not accurate probably, but still!
