[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~

...kun...? [Chrome's eyebrows raise a little in surprise. Who felt close enough to Hibari to not only call him by first name, but kun? Did Hibari know?? Was he okay with this??

--Chikusa's god. Her eyes widen and then her expression goes carefully blank] His... god...

[Which meant he was a shinki. Which meant he had no memory of her or Mukuro or-- Any of it.] I know Hibari-san and Chikusa, yes. [Meanwhile, Chrome uses no honorifics for Chikusa.]

[shockshot]

[If Hibari knew, he would have already tried to bite her to death, really. But...ah. Masaki sucks in a deep breath.]

So you're a god then. This is going to be a bit of a problem.

[She bites her lip. A problem but...it could be managed.]

You already know the risk then?

[Not being part of their life wasn't even a question. Chrome has to be there with her friends.]

[pineapplet]

[Hibari tended to not waste time trying to fight anyone weaker than him, so Masaki was probably fine.

Chrome is quiet for a long moment before she looks away.] ...If I tell him anything, he'll be in trouble. [To put it lightly. She closes her eyes and takes a breath.] Thank you. I'll... simply have to avoid him and Hibari-san, I suppose...

[shockshot]

[Yeah, Masaki was not...Hibari tier. (But her god? Might be).]

Yeah, he would. But...you don't have to avoid them, you just...have to keep that apart.

They've got a new start, and so do you.

[Chrome shouldn't be without her friends :( ]

[pineapplet]

[Hibari-tier isn't as high as he'd like to think it is, to be fair.]

...If it was not for the circumstances that brought us together in the first place, neither Hibari-san nor Chikusa would willingly associate with me. [Said matter-of-factly]

Even if given a 'new start,' even without their memories... I don't think that would change.

Hibari-san is not the type to make friends, exactly, anyhow.

[shockshot]

[Even lion cubs try to roar. It's not very impressive though. Kind of squeaky and cute.]

Ah...that doesn't mean you can't start again. Or keep an eye on them. You could be a total...ah...what's the word they use these days...

[Teenagers and their slang...she lights up.]

A bamf! Besides, who wouldn't want to hang out with you?

[pineapplet]

A-- A what? [WHAT... MASAKI WHAT??

She looks even more confused by that question. A lot of people, probably?] You don't even know me... [She looks a bit uncomfortable, looking around the area like maybe somehow Masaki is talking to someone else.]

Wouldn't it be more dangerous for them, to be around a constant reminder like this? If something slips up, won't they die?

[shockshot]

A bad ass! Or a...I think there's some other words for it, but I think that's good!

[But yeah, here you are Chrome. You're dealing with one weird chick.]

I don't know you yet, but I could get to know you soon! But...yes, it's dangerous. It's not so much they'll die...at first.

They turn into ayakashi.
