[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~

A god...

( Also like Terra and Urashima is quiet as he takes that in and processes it. His brows knit together and there’s something like a small frown as he looks to the side, thinking. Everything this guy is saying makes sense, he supposes… But he recovers quickly enough, shaking his head at the suggestion to find a coordinator, )

That’s okay. We always find each other.

Maybe it was a god/shinki thing? Or something to do with Urashima being the type that always returns to someone's side, tbh. )

You said you just got here? Do you have a shinki?

Does the shinki look like him?! That would be weird. )

[At least Anubis is a different pantheon or this could have gotten one tier weirder for Urashima.

As the suggestion to find aid is refused on grounds he really can't argue, Xehanort gives the tiniest of shrugs, accepting it, and begins a patient search of something to drink that isn't at least 50% sugar.]

I believe so. I haven't found them yet, but was told I might be able to find them here and I'll know when I do.

[That was.. dubious. How was he just going to know? Would they be standing around with a sign with his name on it? THAT hadn't happened yet.

There's a moment's pause investigating another bottle's ingredients list.]

If you're a shinki, I'm pretty sure it isn't you though.

[There was absolutely no sense of anything inordinary going on AT ALL, so that can't be it.]

[minogame]

( Shaking his head, no. He's definitely not this guy's shinki. )

When I first came here, another shinki introduced me to my god. I think they belonged to someone important... ( Or at least, someone official. ) It might be the same person who spoke to you.

So I wouldn't worry! But I think the sooner you find them, the better. It's a little scary when you're alone and new.

[There's a pause, and consideration. There were a lot of people here to try to get through to begin with and he didn't much like being around crowds. Whether or not his shinki was feeling frightened and alone was generally ... not relevant.

But leaving them in such a state could damage future relationships.]

There's a lot of people to sort through. Perhaps it would have been better had we NOT all been shoved towards this gathering right away, and let us find each other first.

[The more he finds out about this place the more he's convinced nobody is actually in control and everyone just does what seems like a good idea at the time.

Terrible!]

...Still if you hear someone might be looking for Anubis, could you point them my way if you know where I am at the time? I don't ...really handle crowds all that well and finding them is going to possibly be very hard.
