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~

You didn't, really...

[Nibbling on a fishy kabob, Chikusa glances over at him.]

It was just a guess. I did the same thing...

[latebloomingeros]

[Yuuri finds a spot nearby to sit down without being too in the way of the people who are trying to cook, and picks up a little veggie kabob to work on.]

So you're... Are you a shinki, too?

[kokuyoyo]

[As he shuffles after, he nods.]

To Hestia. I only came into his service a little while ago…

[latebloomingeros]

What kind of god is he?

[There are gods of all sorts of things, right? Yuuri knows that, but he's been pretty unfamiliar with most of the gods whose names he's heard mentioned so far.]

[kokuyoyo]

A heart goddess, technically. Hestia's domain traditionally includes things regarding family and the home.

[Settling down, he nibbles at some squid.]

...We recently went after yakuza.

[latebloomingeros]

After... After yakuza?

[Well, that doesn't sound terrifyingly dangerous or anything!]

[kokuyoyo]

Yes.

[With the dull way Chikusa is talking about it, he certainly doesn't think it was of any particular danger. but then, he's dead inside.]

Axel-sama said it would be for the best if we simply left information for the police, however...

[Laziness or conscientious of things? Hard to say.]

[latebloomingeros]

Isn't that... That seems a bit risky, doesn't it?

[Shouldn't the living handle that sort of issue themselves, anyway?]

[kokuyoyo]

If anything happened to Axel-sama, I would have protected him.

[There’s an edge of quiet steel to his voice as he says that. And then, just like that, it edges back into the usual apathy.]

They’re only human in the end… It wasn't that troublesome.
