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?]

[ ...he still looks nervous, but. With Rose coaxing him so easily, with such a sure look on her face...

No, he can't say no. He can't. it's too late, the point of no return has been reached...

He hangs his head. Defeat. ]


Okay. I believe you. Okay, I can do this.

[........ he isn't moving. ]

[How does she deal with this again? Being "supportive" hasn't ever exactly been in her wheelhouse, especially before coming to Kaisou.]

[But Vash is one of her dearest friends.]

[And she wants him to experience the beauty of the ocean.]


Just one step at a time.

[He would have been willing to rescue her from that terrible place last month. He deserves better than that.]

Take my hand. I'll walk with you.

[ maybe she's not used to it. maybe being supportive is difficult, but vash will cling to every little attempt like cracked earth searching for water.

His focus is on Rose for a long moment as she offers him her hand--and he lets free a small, almost manic laugh as he reaches--with his real arm--to touch Roses' fingers.

The uneasiness hasn't left his belly, but...
It felt a little furthur away as he spreads his fingers out, fully taking her hand in his. ]


... I trust you, but.

[ isn't this make rose feel a bit silly? leading her taller friend out into the ocean... ]

[personal profile] poisontippedcure 2023-09-10 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[No, leading her taller friend into the ocean isn't making Rose embarrassed, being nice is. She has a reputation to uphold! But, Vash is important to her, so she's willing to put up with it.]

We can go at your pace. I'm not in a hurry.

[She can feel the ocean breeze washing over her. It feels nice. Calming.]

[personal profile] doubledollar 2023-09-14 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[ come on, being nice is a great feeling rose--embrace it!!!! besides, Vash DOES look a little less panicked the more she coaxes her tall friend forward, letting him go at his own pace.

His feet touch the water near the shore, and he feels his entire body shiver--his fingers curling around Roses' a little more tightly. Huagh. ]


--I, is it always so cold?!

[personal profile] poisontippedcure 2023-09-15 05:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[Rose continues to smile, and makes no mention of the fact that Vash is now grabbing her hand even more tightly.]

[She's a few paces ahead of him, her tail idly moving across the water's surface.]


Yes, that's the charm. Once you're accustomed to it, there's no better way to cool down on a hot day.

Isn't like. Eating ice easier.

There's a whole lot of water out there, and...

[ ...okay, so maybe it's a little less scary when he's being led by someone else, watching her move, following her steps... okay. Okay, maybe this. Is fine. Maybe it's not awful.... ]

[personal profile] poisontippedcure 2023-09-27 05:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Perhaps, but this is more fun.

[She smiles as she leans down and runs her free hand over the water.]

Besides, the ocean is nice. It makes you feel...connected.

[personal profile] doubledollar 2023-10-01 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
...Connected?

[ ok, he's properly distracted. he doesn't... quite get it. just alien things. ]

In what way?

[personal profile] poisontippedcure 2023-10-09 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[Rose nods, looking over the horizon.]

Yes. The ocean we see here is the same ocean they see on the other side of the world. It's amazing, isn't it?

[There's a nostalgic look in her eyes, for a time and a place she can't return to.]

[personal profile] doubledollar 2023-10-11 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
[ ....Ah. he hadn't actually considered that before? His head tips up and he looks--far across the water, to where the ocean meets the horizon. Back home, it'd only been sand on more sand, but... ]

I never considered it that way.

That's kind of sweet.
