[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~

[Until Roxas gives Riku a piece of his mind and he stops being a jerk to Sora, then yes, it's still a no go topic.]

I was gonna go home after the bonfire.

[He shrugs.]

I'm sure I can find something. I gotta run back home anyways since I forgot what I was gonna bring.

[A cooler full of ice cream.]

[oathkeeper]

After the bonfire? Okay, we'll go home after that.

[He'll take that, at least they're not leaving early like they have in the past.]

Maybe there's veggie kebabs too! Do you like roasted veggies?

[missingache]

Right. [He pokes Sora's cheek.] You know you don't have to stick around with me when I leave things early. I don't mind being alone for a while.

[Last time was a good thing that they left early. A really good thing.]

........ I make roasted veggies. Of course I eat them.

[oathkeeper]

[Sora shakes his head and pokes Roxas' cheek right back.] I like leaving with you. It would feel weird if I didn't.

[He thinks back, almost all the big parties and events they left together.]

Bleh. You can have them all then if they have them here.

[missingache]

You sure?

[Sometimes he feels like a killjoy.

Roxas sighs.]

You told me a while ago that you'd try and eat more veggies, and you're still not trying.

[oathkeeper]

I'm sure. Really.

[Sora would very much disagree with that. His favorite times are with Roxas, so that's always a good choice for him.

But then he makes a face.]

They're just so bitter!!

[missingache]

You're so weird sometimes.

[Though Roxas likes it when Sora comes home with him. They can get into bed faster that way.

.....]

........ have you ever tried the veggies I make? I cook them to make sure they aren't bitter! And there's a lot of sweet veggies, like yams and sweet potato!

[oathkeeper]

[Are they gonna bicker about veggies now? Sora huffs.]

Make some for me and then I'll try it! I just don't like most veggies!

[missingache]

There's veggies I don't like either. I only cook ones I like.

[Which just makes you sound incredibly picky, Roxas.]

[oathkeeper]

[Making another stubborn face.]

Then I'll only eat the ones you like and make.

[He's going to mimic Roxas' pickiness.]

[missingache]

[...... Roxas kind of feels victorious now.]

I'll make sure you do. No backing out.

[oathkeeper]

[Did Sora just back himself into a corner?]

Fine! As long as you make them not bitter.

[missingache]

[Yes he did.]

I don't like bitter. Why would I do that?
