[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~

[Well... That's a little ominous in a sweet way and now Sora is just thinking that they shouldn't go too fast or they might crash. Like, a car accident crash or something.

But really, it's just a mention of a wedding that derails Sora easily enough.]

Aww! Hajime, of course you get a front row seat! You, Yuto and Davesprite!

[... It's gonna be a big wedding. Wait- is he actually thinking about that now???]

Does... Davesprite need a chair?

[birdstheword]

He doesn't but it's appreciated! If you run out of chairs, I can stand or have Davesprite in my lap or something! No worries!

[Or maybe Yuto. Who knows. As long as they're all comfortable for Sora's big day!]

I'm happy I got to meet Roxas today. We're not strangers anymore! Seeing you too is a major bonus!

[oathkeeper]

[Sora laughs again and nods. He's starting to feel really warm in the cheeks as he pictures actually doing a giant party. Would their friends all come? It would be so much fun! To just laugh and be with everyone and to celebrate being together.]

I'm glad you guys met too! I think he really likes meeting people who know me.

[It's the same for him too, he likes meeting Roxas' friends. He wonders what would happen if he did ask Roxas if he wanted a party and he suddenly frowns slightly. Nah... Roxas would probably say no.

But it's still nice to be dreamy.]

Thanks for the snack, Hajime! You're a really good cook!

[birdstheword]

Why's that? I figured he'd liked to introduce them to you! But you're super mega social, I don't think I've met anyone that doesn't know you, Sora! ---Aside a few newbies but thats quickly fixed. Sora is super popular!

[She smiles at him sweetly. He's so friendly, everyone should be friends with Sora!]

I need to get around and Get Yuto and Davesprite out and about too! 'ey Sora, will you look out for them for me? Pretty Please? They're both super hard on themselves! They need more fun, Yuto especially!

[oathkeeper]

[Sora blushes in embarrassment this time and rubs the back of his head.]

Ahh, there's a lot of people I don't know too! I'm not that popular!!

[If he is, Sora doesn't really realize it. He just likes talking with people!! At the mention of her shinki Sora nods very quickly.]

They're both great guys, Hajime! You can count on me to look out for them! I know Yuto can be a little unsure about making friends but I'll help him out. And Davesprite is really funny when he wants to be! You know, maybe we should have a big get together sometime! My temple, yours and Roxas'?

[birdstheword]

But you are, you are! I hear it a lot! Sora this and Sora that. Sora is super friendly.

[Her hands move from side to side as she talks, smile growing before she bounces forward and pats him on the shoulder]

Don't be modest! If there's people that donno you then it's only a matter of time! You've got a big heart and are super friendly and fun! People are drawn to that! I admire that! I get pulled to you too!

[Even though they had moved onto her boys, Hajime isn't going to let Sora downplay things. He should hear it loud and clear! But the mention of a big get-together---that really makes her perk up. Hajime's eyes widen as her mouth gapes open as she screams]

UUUUUuuuuuwahhhh! YES! YESSSSS! Sora! Sora! [Hajime bounces, spreading her arms wide] Let's do it! Let's do it sometime soon, okay? That would be amazing. ITS A GREAT IDEA! All of us, together!

[oathkeeper]

Ahh!! Hajime, you're just as super friendly and fun!! Maybe I'm just a weird giant magnet, that's all! Let's just pretend we're twins!

[His smile pulls into a big goofy grin and he laughs warmly and he nearly wants to jump around with how excited she gets with the idea!

Because heck knows his boys need just as must socialization as her boys do. And Roxas' boys too! Did they all get this type of shinki for a reason?? It's a good question to ponder!

He ends up bouncing on the balls of his feet, eyes sparkling.]

One big get together!! Let me ask Roxas first before we figure it all out to make sure he wants to do it, but I think it will be really great for everyone!

[birdstheword]

[And just like the giant magnet that he is, Hajime jumps to throw her arms around Sora and bounce up and down with him. Who needs a sun when you have these two living balls of energy bouncing off eachother! It's amazing she hasn't hung around Sora more. They'd be unstoppable.

A get-together is an amazing idea. Both their boys need socializing. Roxas is naturally included in that too since him and Sora are bound to get married in the future. She squeezes Sora, giggling all the while before finally leaning back--but only at arms length ]

I think it's a super awesome idea! I hope he thinks so too! I donno Roxas-kun ever well but I really want to! His shinki too! And yours!

[oathkeeper]

[Enough combined energy to power an entire city on sunshine personality alone, that's for sure. They need to combine forces more often!

Sora gathers her up too and bounces with her and even picks her up off her toes slightly before setting her back down. He's grinning and laughing.]

Then a party is the place to do it! I'll make sure he says yes, I know his shinki Raichi, Senri and Kairi will all have lots of fun too!

[He nods looking determined. He knows Roxas isn't a fan of parties but Sora is pretty sure he's got it down to an art in whittling him down into saying yes. It won't be an issue in the long run.]

I better go find Roxas!
