Where: The beach
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~

"S-- Sora...!"

But he's dragged along helplessly, still fighting the lightheaded feeling of being completely out of his element. It's not a panic attack, just a surreal feeling of strangeness he can't quite escape. At least the inside of the store is more quiet, a blessing to his nerves.

Still, he stands frozen for a moment before he steps forward to feel the various swimsuits. The materials are so strange, shiny and slick in different ways. The stretchy lycra pieces are the most intriguing. He's never seen silk act like that, though of course he has no way of knowing it's not silk at all.

One piece in particular catches his eye, and he can't help a wry chuckle in the back of his throat. Black with a pattern like blue feathered wings up the outsides of the legs... how ironic, considering his shinki form. Is this the Heavens showing their twisted sense of humor?

"Maybe this one, if it fits."

Sora watches Yurick with a smile on his lips, a few seconds away from putting his chin in his hands as he does so. It's interesting to see Yurick out of his element and experiencing new things.

"Maybe when we don't have a beach party to go to we can come back here and explore a little more."

Because Sora loves Akihabara. Every time he comes he finds something new he likes.

He points to the change rooms.

"There's rooms back there you can try it on if you want. If not, I'll pay for it and we can head to the beach!"

Heavens help them if Yurick discovers video games.

There's no point in buying something only to discover it doesn't fit, so Yurick disappears into the back to change. Stripping down to just his underwear like the sign in the changing room says, he pulls on the snug swim jammers. They hug his lower body the way his leather breeches do but offer far more movement. He's pleasantly surprised. If Sora approves, then this is what he'll wear. He'll have to pay his god back eventually, though.

Stepping out of the changing room, he presents quite the picture: he's startlingly pale and slender, yet there's some nice definition to his body and not a bit of fat. His forgotten life has sculpted him into a trim, attractive young man who, while not a physical powerhouse, isn't the least bit soft.

It's rather hard to ignore what else the tight jammers show off, though. Yurick is far from being a big person, but a certain part of him, on the other hand....

Sora and Riku Replica have quite the big selection, so he will!

When Yurick comes out Sora turns around automatically. He's met with Yurick's bathing suit view and he grins. There is a slight blush but one of admiration as if it were Riku or Kairi. He looks good, really good!

"Comfortable? You look great! I like the blue!"

Sorry Yurick, Sora only has doki eyes for Roxas... But he can still appreciate someone!

Not that Yurick knows his body and anything special about it holds any appeal for whoever might look at him. He's completely unaware that someone might consider him attractive. It had nothing to do with surviving in his previous life, so the concept failed to carry over to this one.

"It reminds me of the wings you gave me." He reaches up to briefly touch the edges of the kanji over his heart. "It's really alright? I'll pay you back somehow."

"It does, doesn't it?" Sora says, nodding. He's still pretty ecstatic that Yurick's form is something so amazing. He has to tell Yuto and Riku someday soon.

He then shakes his head. "You don't have to pay me back! It's a gift, okay?"

Honestly, he was thinking about getting another gift for Yurick. Just to cheer him up. He waves at Yurick.

"Get changed again, I'll go pay!"

"I-- if you insist...."

Now Yurick is the one blushing slightly. He changes back into his street clothes and emerges with the swimsuit draped over his arm. Sora keeps surprising him with that pure, bright heart. Is it any wonder people gravitate to him? Yurick's surprised he doesn't have a hundred shinki clamoring to work with him.

He doesn't speak again until they're outside, Yurick staring out over the street with a faraway look in his eyes. "Sora, if you hadn't named me during that prayer... would you have claimed me after Arikado-sama left? Out of pity?"

Sora steps out and stops beside Yurick and looks up at him when he says that.

"Yes. But not because I pitied you, Yurick. I told you before we're friends and I want you to be happy. Even if I hadn't named you then, if you trusted me enough to want me too that would be enough. This is just as much your choice as it is mine."

He smiles softly and looks down the street at all the life and hustle and bustle.

"Do you think this is the right choice for you?"

Once upon a time Yuto had lost his god. He had stayed with Sora too. But in the end picked someone else. Sora's happy for his friend, and that choice lays with Yurick as well.

Yurick doesn't have to think very long about it, but he stays quiet for a while longer because the truth is heavy. He doesn't want Sora to see just how important he is to the quiet shinki.

"Yes," he murmurs. "I can't imagine working under anyone else. I know you, so it's better than being paired with a stranger."

It's not what he could've said, but in the end he was too afraid. He doesn't want to be too close to anyone. He's such a coward, isn't he?

Even if it's not everything that Yurick wanted to say it seems to be enough for Sora. He continues to smile and pats Yurick affectionately on the back.

"Then there's nothing to worry about. Because I meant it back when I said you could come to me if anything ever happened to you. Don't forget that, okay?"

He knows it will take time for Yurick to adjust. But Sora would be there for every step of it.

"Ready to go hit the waves?"
