beach episode, round 2 (the free for all version)

[hoasen]

Who: Everyone in this game!! It's an open mingle log!
When: Maybe like, the first three days of August.
Where: Caissa's Beach and Water Garden.
What: Just for the sake of having a Beach Episode, we're totally pretending that a bunch of NPCs (fantasy college students?!) decided to have a party.
Rating: None right now! Or maybe PG, I added some thugs just because.


[If you were walking around Caissa lately (or even just saw a few fliers around) there seems to be a Beach Party organised by a few unnamed beings, possibly a bunch of young adults who just want to party up. Their reason is, it's nearly the end of summer, so they're going to have a summer party. And everyone's invited! But what will happen?

Basically, it's just a get together with many people gathering around to party on a beach. Here's a few things you can do!

Pre-party: Choose swimwear, maybe together. Or yukata (as I have been informed to add too)

1. Build a sandcastle (or become a sand mermaid). What if there's a contest?
2. Join in on a barbeque done by random citizens that may be pretty tasty...or can just suck, so maybe you should give them a hand.
3. SWIM. SPLASH WATER. IT'S THE BEACH. If not, maybe check out those watergardens? It seems to be quieter there.
4. Competitive sports. You will be challenged to various types of beach sports, on the sand or in the water. OR, you'll be challenge to smash a watermelon while blindfolded.
5. Sun bathe. Why not, really.
6. At night, there's a bit of dancing around a bonfire and also some small fireworks and sparklers.
7. Whatever the heck you want, really.

But watch out! Since this is a gathering open to everyone, you may find yourselves in the presence of some local troublemakers. But don't worry, Heroes, you're strong, pretty sure you can protect the people. Just make sure it's nothing that will land you into trouble, that is all (I'm sure hand slapping will be okay. Or maybe challenge them to the equivalent of racing on the beach).

Either way, get your summer on. Also a random excuse you can use to get to this party can be "My Carrier smelled the food and headed here".]

Wallriding on nets is haaaaaard.

"Heh, yeah. Sorry."

Lucio considered just going back to the game but then the thread would be really short instead waved her over. His team was down a player at the moment, as one of them had wandered off to get something to eat.

[femmefailtale]

She stands up with a stretch, and wanders her way over.

"No big, no big. I'm guessing you want me to play now, too. After I've been so rudely awakened..? Well, you're lucky m'bored."

It'll take a quick explanation of the rules, but then IT'S TIME TO VOLLEYBALL.

[timetogetdown]

"You looked bored."

Lucio gave her the truncated rules of the game. It'd be fine for a casual game like this.

[femmefailtale]

"I was bored! You know me so well!" She puts her hands together with a smile.

"So, in this game height and agility are important... and running on... sand..."

She testingly bounces on the balls of her feet. "Fff... Not used to having such terrible footing. I'll think of something."

[timetogetdown]

"That or you'll fall over a lot. It's all good."

[femmefailtale]

"It is absolutely not all good. The great Meliora doesn't just fall over." She folds her arms, testing out her balance by holding up one leg and then the other.

"If I can't keep up, I'm better off not playing at all, aren't I?"

[timetogetdown]

"Oh come on it's a pickup game of beach volleyball. No one's taking this game seriously. Half the point is watching hot people in swimsuits jump around after a ball."

It was true. It was a hot day, and no one here was wearing a shirt, male or female.

[femmefailtale]

She takes a moment to look around and properly accept that fact. Then, she nods.

"Fine, fine. I still won't let you down, but if I take a minute to stop and ah, appreciate my surroundings, try not to get too miffed."

--She has no intention of slowing down to ogle, of course, but it seems a good way of reassuring her dear friend.

[timetogetdown]

"Aight then. Let's do this!"

Aaaaand serve! The game is on!

[femmefailtale]

And so there was much volleyballing.

As it turns out, she is not very good at volleyball--but there's a lot of jumping because she's finding it less annoying than trying to run on this blasted stuff.

[timetogetdown]

In the end, they lost. It was close, though. Lucio high fived his entire team and the people on the other team. He was the very picture of a good sport.

[femmefailtale]

Meliora totally does the same thing, though there's something a little bit sore in her smile.

As it turns out, she totally cared. But she's acting the good sport, at least!

"Haha... That wasn't so bad."
