[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~

[Xehanort points towards the barbecued beef ribs and what looks awfully like steaks. Delicious meat! He really should eat some himself. A nice small steak with a good crust would be perfect.]

... Plastic?

[He didn't get any plastic. Well nothing at all really, and though he was vaguely certain on what plastic is, the rest.. mystery.]

Maybe that's how shinki are supposed to aid their god.

[He has no idea and it shows in his tone. It's a guess.]

Maybe. Who knows. They weren’t exactly the most helpful, but- maybe there’s, um…. A class for this kind of thing?

[She’s going to be really annoyed when she realizes that this isn’t the case at all, but also, frankly? Not surprised. Carefully trying to get a big steak on a plate, she glances back to him.]

If you’re a god, maybe you can figure it out more than me. I put it away with some of my things, so I can just go back to show you if you want.

One would hope so if this is a regular occurrence. It'd save everyone a lot of confusion and probably frustration.

[If the old crew had to constantly answer the questions of the new, instead of something pre-arranged to handle that, it would surely get irritating fast. How many times can someone be asked the same question befor they don't want to answer it anymore?]

If it has instructions, I can figure anything out.

[That is a very important caveat, but he's willing to give it a try either way. A big meaty steak should be just fine for her dog. Probably ther should be something against giving dogs human food but... well.]
