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~

Simple nostalgia.

[ She shows off the title: The Knight of Persailles 2. ] I'd imagine most people experience that.

[ This is an overly complicated way of trying to figure out whether she's addressing a god or one of those amnesiacs that supposedly exist. Since she's pretty sure they don't, it's more out of a sense of confirmation bias than anything. This person will agree, and once again, Shikyoin Hibiki will have emerged victorious in the battle between herself and this lying universe!

By lying herself! ]

sorry for late tag!

Yes, most of them do, I suppose.

[He scans the title and tilts his head to the side a little. Never heard of this one, actually. The title, even if it doesn't reveal much, intrigues him, though.]

However, I'm not sure if I've ever been on a beach before. [His voice makes it sound like it's the most normal thing in the world, somehow.] And what is it about? The script.

not a problem~

[ Hey, if Hibiki hadn't probably filmed movies with beach scenes, she might never have ventured onto one of these herself. Sand is...troublesome. As is getting hot under the sun.

She shrugs, flicking through the pages. This conversation neither interests nor irritates her, so far. Mostly she's just confused why people keep coming up and talking to her. That never happens. ] Eternally resonant themes, I suppose.

[ It's a silly romantic melodrama, actually. But then again, isn't that what she said?

Also, as those pages flick, anyone watching closely might see a name flip by on the title page. ]

[secrowtary]

I see.

[That's more than enough to make him understand that he's interrupting. And since that's really impolite, he's going to—

Ask another question. Actually, he didn't mean to do that, but he can't help it after seeing the name.]

Hibiki? Would that happen to be your name?
