[ Beach Barbecue ]

Baldr’s temple sits on a shoreline with a dock floating into the ocean. The soft sand is warm during the day but when the sun sets it gets rather chilly. A bonfire has been started to keep the beach occupants warm and the cooking starts as soon as the sun sets. Everything from burgers to hotdogs are available for eats.

The water is very cold when the sun is gone so don’t be pushing people into the ocean unless you want people to get colds. (can gods and shinki get colds?) There also might be rumors of a giant purple fish ayakashi that gobbles people up is in the water, but who knows if that’s true?

Couches, hammocks and pillows are also available for beach time snuggles if you need the private space to chat.

Somewhere someone is setting off firecrackers and sparklers. Join in and set a few off but don’t set yourself on fire!

[ GIANT PURPLE FISH AYAKASHI ]

It's true.

Sometime later in the evening when everyone is out on the beach enjoying the weather and the cool night air, there is a soft rumbling that comes from somewhere over the ocean. The rumbling goes unnoticed at first maybe attributed to the dock creaking or the waves changing wind. But soon the rumbling gets stronger and stronger and the waves become violent, lapping dangerously at the shoreline.

Soon there is a loud screeching noise that erupts from somewhere over the waves. The water parts and a giant ayakashi breeches the surface and leaps effortlessly into the air. Ugly round eyes cover its body staring in all directions and surveying the beach. Then the fish falls back into the water causing a rippling of violent waves to crash against the beach.

It's silent for a moment.

Then the rumbling gets louder. The fish is getting closer. Fast.

[ Epic Blanket Fort Battle ]

Upstairs, a gigantic epic blanket fort has been set up. If you’ve brought your own blankets and pillows they’ve been added to the pile. Inside are tons of pillows and movies to watch. Cozy up with a friend or snuggle up and fall asleep.

Or better yet, challenge someone to a pillow fight and claim victory as a pillow warrior champion. Unearthly divine powers are permitted and encouraged. Shinki usage is also permitted granted you don’t break the house.

Whatever the case, pajamas are mandatory to enter.

[ Morning Waffles ]

If you haven’t passed out by now be ready for the biggest breakfast extravaganza of your afterlife.

There are waffles stacked up high with all the fixings such as fresh strawberries, nutella, whip cream, banana slices, jams, cinnamon sugar and chocolate chips.

There is also fresh fruit smoothies of every variety. Yum. That not your thing? There is also tea and hot chocolate.

Morning waffles is also open to anyone who didn’t want to come the night before for some reason and want to come for the deliciousness only. Because who doesn’t like waffles?

And contrary to popular belief, this is the only dish that Sora can cook well.

[ WILD CARD ??? ]

Dunno what you’re doing but Sora doesn’t care as long as you are cozy and have fun.

Just don’t steal anything. He's a trusting person, okay?

[mybadhabit]

[The joke's on them both, because Sonic hadn't planned on this failing!]

Um. You're not ticklish, are you?

[okitactless]

[This has been a wild ride in so many ways, good lord...]

I-- no, I don't think so. [Nobody's ever tried before?! Granted, he's got a grand total of two (2) months' worth of "life" experience to go off of, but hey.] You weren't trying to dig out my intestines?

[Yes, that was his first assumption... Yamato why are you like this.]

[mybadhabit]

Oh no, I'd use my nails if I was going for something like that. [He says it so casually, as if that's just a normal thing he does] Or a knife.

Like this. [he says as he pulls a kunai out of the thin air. Then with a flick of his wrist, it's gone again, back to wherever he pulled it from] Anyway, you're not supposed to get for last damage in pillow fights, it's just for fun, after all.

[okitactless]

[And Yamato seems to accept that, just as casually?? THESE TWO... but he was the one who asked, and a knife would definitely be more efficient!

More importantly, he's thoroughly distracted by that sleight of hand; the fascination on his face is clear, and he doesn't even try to hide it. Who cares about pillows when there are sharp, shiny objects around?]

Huh? Where did it go? How did you do that? [AGAIN AGAIN]

[mybadhabit]

[Ah yes, Sonic's favorite thing; enthusiastic attention and people wanting him to show off his tricks. He grins broadly as he shrugs Yamato's questions off, flicking his wrist dismissively.

Don't worry about it. [Except when he flicked his wrist, another kunai appeared in his hand! Gasp! He twirls it through his fingers, then moves as though he's going to throw at Yamato, but wait! It's gone again! Where did it go? He rolls up his sleeves to show Yamato there's nothing there but scars, holding out his hands palm up]

[okitactless]

[If it's an awestruck audience Sonic wants, he'll pretty much always have one in Yamato. No matter how old he truly is or what era he might've come from, there's so little about the world he's really stopped to try and understand. So many things here are new to him, and he's childishly open in his wonder.

He lifts a hand, to shield his face on instinct, but it's not necessary--the knife is gone as quickly as it appeared, and it's not embedded in any of Yamato's squishy bits. Brows knit together, he reaches for Sonic's hand; if Sonic allows it, he'll squeeze along his arm, like the knife could somehow be buried under his skin.]

It's gone again!

[This isn't the kind of thing one could pull off with an uchigatana, even if he'd wanted to. A tantou, maybe, but not a sword of Yamato's size. WHERE DID IT GO.]

[mybadhabit]

[Go ahead, Yamato, you feel up Sonic's arm as much as you like. Meanwhile, Sonic will sit and chuckle, feeling absolutely pleased with himself. Hiding weapons is such an elementary skill, one of the first he ever learned, and yet it's always the one that gets the most attention.]

It's right here. [he reaches up with his free hand, gently brushing his fingers right behind Yamato's ear...

...and pulls out a shuriken.] Whoops! That's not right. My bad, let me see your other ear.

[okitactless]

[DON'T SAY THAT he'll get out the sword and start cutting back skin to find it if you let him...

But luckily it doesn't get that far. He wrinkles his nose, pulling his head back to rub at his ear.]

I know that trick! [Shepard's never done it to him, but it doesn't seem completely new. Predictably, he's more interested in the shuriken itself than anything; throwing weapons aren't something he's terribly familiar with.] How many kinds of weapons do you carry?

[mybadhabit]

[Sonic laughs as Yamato pulls back, offering him the shuriken for inspection] I guess you're too smart for me. You can keep that one if you like, I have plenty of others. [It is, naturally, not one of the exploding shuriken]

Oh, I just have my sword, my kunai, and an assortment of shuriken. I have regular shuriken, ones that explode, and I've been working on ones that create a smokescreen. I also have a number of small personal items with me, as well. [If he dumped out everything he had on him right now, the piles would be pretty significant.]

[okitactless]

[BUT WHERE IS HE HIDING IT ALL... now Yamato's wondering just how many weapons would fit beneath his chestplate and his haori, though it's probably not something he'll investigate anytime soon. Sneaky isn't really his forte.]

Are you sure? I don't really know how to use it... [He's careful not to cut his palm as he flicks his wrist horizontally, brows knit together as he experiments with motion. Someday, perhaps, he will also learn frisbee...] They seem very useful, though.
