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~

[Oh good, he doesn't have to tell his secret. He can focus on the other thing instead.

Zangetsu tilts his head]

No. That ain't what I mean. Your... hrrrmmm... [it's so hard to explain. Like trying to explain "blue" to a blind person.] Your essence, your soul. It's two. But not. It's more like... it's one, but there's two very distinct parts. Almost like two whole souls. Almost.

[Secrets have a way of not staying that way forever. He may want to find out sometime, simply for curiosity's sake..

But right now is a whole lot of distraction, and what Xehanort knows of how a person works - heart, soul, mind - there was no room for two souls. Or one soul with multiple pieces. That went for the other two parts of a person as well.

And more importantly, 'speaking of that' and souls, in the context of eating..]

Well. I don't know anything about that, as far as I know my soul is precisely the way it's supposed to be. That's interesting to know though.

[And he's going to have to verify it somehow.]

But are you implying you eat souls..?

[moonfang]

[welp, you're sharper than you look, weirdo. Or maybe Zangetsu has too many tells. One way or another...]

Well, I can tell you-- it's not normal from here. But hey, if you're gettin' along just fine, then no skin off my nose. Hehehe! You do you and all that.

[The question only gets a smirk in response]

[fixed_destiny]

[Too many tells in his speech. The lack of an answer draws a slight narrowing of the eyes but little else. It is a mystery but not one he sees as likely to be able to unravel any time soon.]

... I intend to. Though now I also have to find something else to do for dinner..

[And hopefully this uncannily pale scavenger won't decide to help himself to his next meal.]

So if you'll excuse me.
