[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~

I usually bring my own food to things like this.

[Everyone loves meat in this place...

And now there's a blush again. Personal space, Hajime, personal space.]

I-I like vegetables... but not peppers. Or mushrooms.... I'm not big on eggplant, either. Those taste weird. I'm not a fan of spicy or bitter.

[birdstheword]

[Hajime nods eagerly as he lists off a few things. She does have to pull back for just a second though as she glances around. Her phone and NOTE are at home so she doesn't have anything to write this down in. Even if she trusts her own memory, she doesn't want to forget.

Perking up, she takes a few bouncy steps back to the table. She had spotted a marker there earlier. It takes a second but she holds it up when she finds the black sharpie. Biting onto the cap and holding it in her mouth. Hajime walks back over as she scribbles away at her left forearm.]

Vegetables get a heart. Peppers, Mushrooms, eggplant are a no good. No spicy or bitter....

[She smiles, looking over her notes. If Roxas does look all the things he listed are written on her arm with the title " ♥ Roxas likes ♥" being underlined.]

What else?

[missingache]

I don't eat fish. Long story... I like fruit a lot. I do eat eggs and drink milk.

[Roxas thinks some more, then looks at Hajime with a flat look.]

I hate anything with red bean im it.

[birdstheword]

[She scribbles this all down as Roxas says it, nodding all the while.]

Do you really not like the taste of red bean that much? Oh! What about sweets?

[missingache]

The last place I was in had red bean in way too many foods. [It's awful.] I like sweets a lot.

[birdstheword]

So you don't hate it, you're brunt out on it?

[Marking down the sweets too]

I feel like I'm getting to know so much about you, Roxas-kun~! Well, what you like to eat but that's all part of it, right? I'm glad we're not strangers anymore.

[missingache]

I haven't eaten it in months and when I tried some the other day... I still hate the stuff.

[Hajime is easy to please. Roxas gives a small shrug.] You and Sora are alike. It's hard to stay a stranger around you guys.

[birdstheword]

Gotcha! No red bean for sure!

[She glances at her arm, the marker standing out against her fair skin. But with no paper, this will do! She just can't go in the water anymore. This is an important list!]

Are we? I like Sora a lot too. He's super fun and that's good! I think Sora likes having lots of friends, right? Me too! Being strangers is no fun.

Thanks Roxas-kun!
