[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~

[She will never escape the pineapples... Alas. At least they hadn't made her some god associated with pineapples or something.

Chrome had been slightly apprehensive, but Hokuto seems nice enough. Maybe a bit too nice. Chrome finds herself reluctantly wishing Hokuto might've been more difficult, if only because she knew how to handle such people. Cheerful, bubbly sorts? Not so much. Maybe she could just think of her like some of the girl friends she'd made back home... Haru, maybe. Hokuto kind of reminds her of Haru.

Pleased to meet you, Hokuto-san. Supposedly-- Supposedly, I'm Nephtys, an Egyptian goddess of, ah... Death and funeral services... But also the nighttime and rivers. [SO? IT'S NOT ALL BAD? She still looks a little apologetic] I'm not sure what we might ave to do, but if you're uncomfortable with anything...I don't wish to force you to do anything you don't want.

[ Nephtys ... it's not a name that Hokuto has heard of. She looks a bit surprised by the description. Maybe because she would not have looked upon this girl and thought 'death.' ]

That sounds rather grim. But I suppose someone must be the god of such things. Nighttime and rivers sound pretty, though.

[ She smiles encouragingly. ]

Well, I'm at service! I'm sure we'll figure it out together. Should I call you Nephtys?
