[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~

Oh, now you have me wondering too! I mean, mother's hair is lovely, but I'd love to have strawberry or raspberry curls...

[Whoops. Did he just let a clue to the identity of his mother slip? He may have.]
brynwieldr: (Genuinely Happy)

[personal profile] brynwieldr 2017-01-21 12:50 am (UTC)(link)
Oh? Your mother is blonde?

[Is his mother from outside the army?

(Because Leo barely even knows Charlotte.)]


I'm sure we could find some hair dye here so you can experiment, if you'd like.
clothes_make_the_man: (eheheh)

[personal profile] clothes_make_the_man 2017-01-22 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! Ah... yes. That's right.

[At least he didn't seem to put anything together from that.]

But no, I couldn't. Hair dye is terrible for your roots.
brynwieldr: (A Father)

[personal profile] brynwieldr 2017-01-22 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
I'd say "at least you didn't inherit all of my looks", but...

[He gestures vaguely towards his hair.]

There's likely some here that isn't. If they can create hair dye a shade of green I previously thought only seen when you're drunk on absinthe, surely there's hair dye that won't ruin your hair.

[No, Leo has not been drunk on absinthe.]
clothes_make_the_man: (frown)

[personal profile] clothes_make_the_man 2017-01-22 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
[Forrest does quirk an eyebrow at the absinthe comment, but he lets it go for now.]

Mm... perhaps. I suppose it couldn't hurt to look around.
brynwieldr: (Quiet)

[personal profile] brynwieldr 2017-01-22 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
Elise will no doubt be asking after some soon anyway, since I'm pretty sure her purple streaks were dyed...
clothes_make_the_man: (big blush smile)

[personal profile] clothes_make_the_man 2017-01-22 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, yes, that's right... she dyes it to look more like Aunt Camilla, doesn't she?
brynwieldr: (The Punishment is Death)

[personal profile] brynwieldr 2017-01-22 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
I think so. I never actually paid too much attention as to why she did it, since it didn't concern me. I was more interested in cutting my curls off than styling them.
clothes_make_the_man: (big blush smile)

[personal profile] clothes_make_the_man 2017-01-22 04:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[Forrest's eyes light right up at that.]

You have curls too, father?
brynwieldr: (Default)

[personal profile] brynwieldr 2017-01-22 04:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, you didn't get yours from Elise.

[Just saying]

But they're a pain to work with when I already never have time in the morning, and long hair gets in the way too much....and unlike you, I was never very comfortable with the fact that I have very soft, feminine features for a man.

[Which probably explains his initial distaste for Forrest's crossdressing.]
clothes_make_the_man: (big blush smile)

[personal profile] clothes_make_the_man 2017-01-22 04:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I suppose I never really thought about it.

[He's absolutely beaming, though.]

That's a shame. I could have helped you style them. And I think you're plenty manly, father.
brynwieldr: (Gentle)

[personal profile] brynwieldr 2017-01-22 05:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Not for the first twenty-odd years of my life you couldn't have.

[Again, just saying. But he's smiling]

And I'm not insecure in my masculinity, it's just really disheartening growing up next to Xander while looking more like Camilla.
clothes_make_the_man: (small smile)

[personal profile] clothes_make_the_man 2017-01-24 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Well... no, I suppose not.

[He's happy enough with the thought.]

Mm... I think I can understand that. I often wish I was strong and capable like Siegbert.
brynwieldr: (Neeeeerd)

[personal profile] brynwieldr 2017-01-24 10:49 pm (UTC)(link)
...who?

[Has he asked this? He doesn't remember, it's been a crazy few months]

Did one of them have a son?
clothes_make_the_man: (small smile)

[personal profile] clothes_make_the_man 2017-01-24 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
...Oh! Yes. Siegbert is Xander's son.
brynwieldr: (Flowers)

[personal profile] brynwieldr 2017-01-24 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
[Leo just sort of blinks at Forrest in seeming shock for a moment or two]

Xander...got married? Well, that's wonderful...if a bit shocking.
clothes_make_the_man: (big blush smile)

[personal profile] clothes_make_the_man 2017-01-25 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
If you think that's shocking, wait until you hear who he married!

[Forrest is in gossip mode.]
brynwieldr: (Default)

[personal profile] brynwieldr 2017-01-25 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
I'm almost afraid to ask...but who?

[Look, Leo has to know who managed to get past Xander's....Xanderness to marry him]
clothes_make_the_man: (big blush smile)

[personal profile] clothes_make_the_man 2017-01-25 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
The eldest Hoshidan princess!

[Hinoka, in other words.]
brynwieldr: (Neeeeerd)

[personal profile] brynwieldr 2017-01-25 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
Princess Hinoka?

[The hell....]

Huh. Oddly, I don't think they ever spoke to each other in my version of events. He was rather close to that Hoshidan peasant, though. Hinoka, really?
clothes_make_the_man: (big blush smile)

[personal profile] clothes_make_the_man 2017-01-25 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
You know what they say - opposites attract.

[Forrest thinks they're cute together.]
