Summary: A beach party for all of the Far Shore residents

[01-27 Edit: Continue your threads at the overflow post to evade captcha!]



There were certainly a lot of broken hearts and emotional roller coasters recently, so the Heavens have decided it's time to allow their people to let loose and have some fun for a little while. Through some magic - or possibly just a lot of money - they have managed to rent out an entire private beach for the event so that they won't be interrupted by any Near Shore residents. The beach is beautiful and well-maintained, the ocean goes for as far as the eye can see, and rocky outcroppings offer a handy place to dive into the water on a test of courage.

It's a beautiful summer day, perfect for swimming and cracking watermelons and playing some beach volleyball. There's even some soft music permeating the air so that nothing is every silent on this fun-filled day.

New arrivals, after having been met at the Meeting Hall, would have been immediately redirected to this party. After all, they should be enjoying themselves as well.



Swimwear

    Anyone who doesn't have swimwear will be provided with swimwear to fit their needs. Unfortunately, the Heavens don't have access to a lot of swimwear, so you'll likely wind up with something ugly, something old, or something just plain weird.


Playful Fish

    The sea critters are excited about the party too. They're happy to swim up to anyone in the water and will even come up to the shallows to take a look at the fun happening on the shore. Toe nibbling and brushes of scales are in your future, so you'd better get used to the idea if you plan on being in the water.


Barbecue

    Some basics have been provided, but everyone has been asked to bring a little something to the barbecue as well if they can. So you're more than welcome to grab one of the many grills and start frying things up. Heck, there are even fishing poles available if you feel like hauling in a few of those friendly fish to grill. Additionally, summery drinks have been provided, including iced tea, lemonade, water, and horribly fruity cocktails.


After Dark

    Just because the sun is down doesn't mean that the party's stopping! The barbecue will continue well into the night, lit now by the stars and a huge, roaring bonfire. The bonfire is maintained by Amaterasu's shinki and climbs higher than any bonfire has the right to. Also, there are floating lights in the water so that people can continue swimming now that it's dark. And if you happen to get too drunk to go home, don't worry. A white-clad shinki will be happy to put you back to bed at the end of the night. Additionally, some sparklers and small bottle rockets have been provided for your entertainment.




In Summary:
  • Get some sun
  • Go for a swim
  • Make sure you're in a swimsuit
  • Enjoy the food and activities
  • Don't drown
  • Have fun~

[ AND ON TOP OF ALL THAT YOU INTERRUPT HER--

--just a minute. Hibiki scoffs aloud. ]
I suppose you're implying you're Artemis?

[ Another snort of laughter. ] More erroneous nonsense. Ancient Preece is the birthplace of theater. Don't disgrace it by association.

[ yes she

just said "Preece." ]
missingache: ([81] And the glare)

Been Artemis since I got here.

[Roxas knows Artemis and Apollo fought like cats and dogs, and these two are doing just that. Why is he/she his twin?

He grumbles and narrows his eyes at that.]
It's Greece. Not Preece. At least get the country right.
priforprince: (huffy)

[personal profile] priforprince 2017-01-17 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
I think I'd know the name of the country I've toured.

[ Preece, okay? Preece. North of Pegypt. On the continent of Europara. Which is where she happens to be from, so she's intimately acquainted with the place.

Hibiki unfolds herself from her beach chair, setting her teacup down on the little table holding the pitcher. ]
I don't have to sit here and listen to this nonsense.

[ Ando, get the umb--

Oh, right. She's a god, but she's on her own. Well, supposedly she has that soulbonded servant thing, but that was all extremely bizarre and she's pretty sure it was a trick. She'll have to take this umbrella down herself, then. ]
missingache: ([78] You reflect)

[personal profile] missingache 2017-01-17 04:01 am (UTC)(link)
It's not called Preece here. It's Greece. Look on a map.

[Other worlds are still so weird.

Roxas drops his shoulders, sighing loudly.]


I was here way before you! I should be saying that!

[Hah. Plus he's already got the advantage of three shinki under his belt.] Besides, being Artemis makes me the older twin! Like I need to listen to you.
priforprince: (nonsense)

Balderdash.

[ Just "nonsense" doesn't cut it now, apparently. Especially since you probably do have a point about the map. It would follow if the part about this being a different dimension is true.

And it's taking her a bit to figure out how to work this latch on the umbrella - she's never had to set one of these up herself before, okay? That's what lesser people are for -

Whoa okay, there it goes. Hibiki has to steady the umbrella so it doesn't snap shut on her hands.

Don't. Say. A word. ]
missingache: ([14] And I care what you think)

[personal profile] missingache 2017-01-17 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
Balder-what?

[Oh-kay? Not a word he's familiar with. First of all it starts with what sounds like Sora's god name, and then dash? So was Baldr dashing? No... it's gotta mean something different. Dictionary. Later.

That train of thought goes out the window as he starts watching Hibiki.

....... she's not very good at this.]


... do you need help?
priforprince: (snap)

[personal profile] priforprince 2017-01-17 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
It's you who've driven me to such inevitabilities.

[ One of them needs to depart this section of beach. If it's not gonna be him, then it's gonna be her.

Rolling up her script, Hibiki sticks it in her back pocket. What should come next....? Hm. Tea. She pours out another full cup and lifts it to her lips. Probably can't carry all this - she'd done multiple trips before - so she'll help herself to one more cup and have done with it... ]


missingache: ([12] And I care what people think)

[personal profile] missingache 2017-01-17 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
[This has go to be the weirdest way to meet a god sibling. Seriously. Roxas doesn't know what to do other than to watch Hibiki with weird fascination.

Who drinks hot tea in the summer?]


You're the one who flipped out.
priforprince: (stoic)

[personal profile] priforprince 2017-01-17 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
[ It's iced tea, fortunately. Or well. It was. Someone spent so long blathering at her that now it's more like lukewarm water that once in a prior life had been tea. But Hibiki's committed to draining this cup, so she will.

She also considers this conversation over, so once she's done with her tea she leans her umbrella atop one shoulder and moves to go. Then thinks better of it and pours the rest of the pitcher into the cup, picks up the cup, and turns again. Lousy tea > no tea. ]


Good day.

[ And she is literally going to try and up and leave. Just. Walk away with her script in her pocket, her umbrella slung over her shoulder like she's about to perform Singin' in the Rain with an entirely-too-large prop, and a cup of what wishes it were dearly still tea in her hand.

You may, if you wish, use the beach chair. ]
