[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~

[When it's appropriate. This seems like an appropriate moment for swearing.]

Actually I've, ah, been compared to a robot before. While sober, I mean. But I have absolutely no intention of doing any of those other things. Abandoning you or being arrogant or a...or rude.

[Simon is at least calming down now. Nari's own relaxed reaction catching on.]

When this is over, if you like, I'll show you how to get to my temple and you're more than welcome to stay. I've been working on making it more comfortable.

['If you like.' Simon's under the impression that gods provide for their shinki, including shelter which usually means the a home in their temples...but if Nari turns out to hate it then, well, Simon will figure something else out.]

[So between the two of them Nari will be one to swear worse than a sailor. Fine by him.]

A robot. Really? [Hmmm...] Yeah. I can see it. I'd rather have a robot than someone who won't talk to me.

[This sounds like he's being given a choice. Simon will hopefully happy to hear this reply.] As long as there's a bed I can sleep on, you could be living on top of a volcano. Home is where a bed is.

[Bit by bit Simon is feeling better about the situation. He still wishes he could have approached this with a clearer head from the start...and that he'd recognized Nari sooner. But things are getting closer to a point where he'd hoped they would be.

And thank goodness Nari so far seems to have no intention of treating Simon with anything close to reverence as he's seen other shinki do with their gods. That would just be uncomfortable.]


There's no molten lava anywhere, but it's not a...a traditional home.

[Neither was Serenity, of course. Maybe Simon's worrying too much over this. He's good at that.]
