[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~

My memory. Blank. Completely blank, and I've been up and down this stupid beach, trying to shake something, anything loose, and it's nothing.

[Dust is forceful when he's quiet. When he's angry, when his voice is lifted, the intensity in it is sharp as a sword.]

[ ....oh. Oh, no. Another newcomer. There's a pause as she shifts the shawl in her arms, glancing at Dust a moment before looking off into the sea. ]

...For your own sake, it would be best not to pursue those memories. I'm sure you've been warned but I can't stress this enough.

[ A beat. ]

But... there have been cases where shinki such as yourself have recovered memories on their own.
mithrarin: (grr)

[personal profile] mithrarin 2017-01-21 06:04 pm (UTC)(link)
No. I hadn't been warned. This is the first I've heard about that. [Everything he learns... well, it isn't making Dust any less angry about everything.]
dominatriarch: ([<3] | And don't you hesitate)

[personal profile] dominatriarch 2017-01-22 03:21 pm (UTC)(link)
I see...

[ There's a small frown to that because really... they should be warned. Though the frown does disappear after a moment. ]

As difficult as it is... please believe me when I say it's for the best. You name?
mithrarin: (look away)

[personal profile] mithrarin 2017-01-22 09:37 pm (UTC)(link)
No offense, but I'm going to need more than just your request to believe that.

[No hard feelings, he hopes, because she seems to mean well. He just can't accept this so easily.]

...Dust.

It isn't easy to understand and neither will it be easy to believe. I don't expect you to. Not right away.

[ And her arms rest slightly as she shifts her shawl again, nodding back at him as thanks for his name. ]

I am Bishamon, a god of this world. As you've just arrived, I'm certain there's more than just the loss of your memory running through your mind at the moment...
mithrarin: (smile)

[personal profile] mithrarin 2017-01-23 02:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[Despite everything, the ghost of a smile flickers across Dust's face.]

I may have heard bigger understatements in the past... but I don't remember them, if I have.
dominatriarch: ([<3] | And don't you hesitate)

[personal profile] dominatriarch 2017-01-26 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
I don't suppose you would...

[ It's never been easy for shinki, even more now when their gods may have known them in life. But she does manage the smallest, assuring smile of her own. ]

Have you been told which god you'll be working with?
mithrarin: (grr)

[personal profile] mithrarin 2017-01-26 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
No. [A faint edge creeps into his voice, because shouldn't he have been?] Whether or not I was going to go swimming was somehow a lot more important.
