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~

[Sorry, Elise. No remorse from this cold hearted nerd. He nudges his glasses back with the end of the spatula and stares at her impassively.]

You were.
lilys_poise: (All that hard work for this?)

[personal profile] lilys_poise 2017-01-21 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
Was not!

[So mature.]

........It smells really good though.
kokuyoyo: (Tell him next time I'm going to be)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-01-21 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
...I'll trade you, then.

[Chikusa this isn't.... no.]
lilys_poise: (Uh oh... what now?)

[personal profile] lilys_poise 2017-01-22 11:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Trade..? What do you want for it?

[Okay, she's willing to negotiate.]
kokuyoyo: (Please don't place wagers on my)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-01-23 07:59 am (UTC)(link)
One of the alcohol bottles that they’re using for the cocktails.

[chikusa]
lilys_poise: (Aww YEAH!)

[personal profile] lilys_poise 2017-01-31 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[Elise considers the proposition. It doesn't seem like the bottles are closely guarded or anything....]

Okay! You got it.

[Elise no.

But off she goes. Hopefully he didn't want anything specific because she doesn't know enough about alcohol to be that picky.]
kokuyoyo: (And the cops are back.)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-02-02 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[Good news, so long as it’s booze, he’s not really picky. In fact, he’s almost idly curious to see what she will grab, with no direction.]

[But in the meantime: mushroom grilling]

lilys_poise: (I look so mature now! Teehee!)

[personal profile] lilys_poise 2017-02-06 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
[And eventually she returns with her ill gotten gains. Really she just snuck up and grabbed the first thing she could.]

I got it! Here.

[She hands him a bottle of hard lemonade. Not spectacular, but it is alcohol.]
kokuyoyo: (I mean I don't even call it a hangover)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-02-06 06:34 am (UTC)(link)
[...Well, better than nothing. Accepting the bottle, he sets it to the side before sliding a mushroom onto a plate and giving it to her.]

[And once again the bartering system shows its success…]

lilys_poise: (mmm this is too good!)

[personal profile] lilys_poise 2017-02-06 10:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[Elise happily accepts her prize.]

Mmm~! It's really good! Do you cook a lot?
kokuyoyo: (Tell him next time I'm going to be)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-02-08 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
I’m not sure…

[Maybe in the living, but he isn’t sure of that. Everything is a new experience all over again.]

I just did what it said to do in a recipe. I need to learn how to do more…
lilys_poise: (I feel good as gold today!)

[personal profile] lilys_poise 2017-02-08 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
Well I think you did a great job! Can you show me how to make it too?

[Because they're totally friends or something.]
kokuyoyo: (I mean I don't even call it a hangover)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-02-10 06:13 am (UTC)(link)
...I guess so. But another bottle as payment.

[That sounds about equal for something as simple like this, right?]
lilys_poise: (Default)

[personal profile] lilys_poise 2017-02-14 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
Another?

[She frowns, thinking it over. It wasn't too tough.]

Okay, deal. Does it have to be the same kind?
kokuyoyo: (Tell him next time I'm going to be)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-02-14 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
No. Whatever is fine…

[He’s not a booze critic or anything.]
lilys_poise: (Check out my skills!)

[personal profile] lilys_poise 2017-02-20 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
You got it!

[Determined, off she goes again. This time she returns with a wine cooler.]

Is this good? It's pink!

[Clearly that's a plus.]
kokuyoyo: (Tell him next time I'm going to be)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-02-20 05:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Accepting the wine cooler, he looks over it before nodding.]

It's fine... Anyway, for these, you have to prepare a bit... There's a mixture needed and you let the mushrooms lay in it for an hour before grilling them.

It's not that hard... [Which is why Chikusa did it.]
lilys_poise: (mmm this is too good!)

[personal profile] lilys_poise 2017-02-27 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, that does sound easy! What's in the mixture?

[She can't wait to try this out herself.]
kokuyoyo: (I mean I don't even call it a hangover)

[personal profile] kokuyoyo 2017-02-28 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
Fourth cup of canola oil, a few tablespoons of chopped onion… some minced garlic cloves… and some tablespoons of balsamic vinegar.

[If it sounds like he’s reciting from a cookbook- also true!]

You just pour it over the gills of the mushrooms, and let it soak into them.
