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

the rest of the massage is absolutely divine, and when rin turns around to check on him after he's covered everything, the look on her face makes it seem like she's not entirely sure a real person will still be sitting there. can it be? n-no complaints? he's quiet?
she notices his head is tilted, though; he must be wanting to ask a question, or something. so, she says,]
Um, i-it's all right.
[he can ask.]
If you want to say something... go ahead. Do it.
no subject
I can help you more. If you like.
[Yep. He's happy to volunteer his services.]
no subject
wait, what?!
she expected something different, especially with that blush. he could have asked her to flash him and her expression would be less floored.]
Hey, I'm not going to walk all over you!
no subject
Maybe he'll ask Jae-Ha sometime. Jae-Ha love when people punch him and stuff, after all.
For now, he just blinks a couple of times with those pretty eyes of his.]
...okay.
[He obviously has no idea what she's talking about and is still waiting to see if he can help more.]
no subject
but—yes x2, it's pretty astoundingly clear he's not picking up what she's putting out.]
It means that... I'm not just going to make you help me all the time, with absolutely no reward...
no subject
Anyway, back in this realm...]
Ah...I...didn't ask for one.
[Really she could never give him anything ever and he'd be okay. Shin-Ah's just happy to be there and help.]
no subject
Don't you think that you should?!
[really, she doesn't raise her voice or sound very upset or anything, but rin can't agree with him, here—
the "doing favors for no reward" thing may work for some good-natured men, but it's just unnatural?]
no subject
...no.
[Seriously. Why does he need a reward?]
no subject
no subject
no subject
Yeah, yeah. I get it. You're one of those types.
[she thinks about it, silently, and then readjusts herself where she sits, swiveling around to face him more directly in her surprising lack of clothing. would shin-ah react? probably not. but in the back of her mind, she's hoping to test it.]
This won't go anywhere, for right now. I've dealt with guys like you and straightening you out is a conversation I could have, but I don't want to ruin my beach day. We'll just say your reward is that you got to see me and touch me in my bikini, and leave it at that.
no subject
Shin-Ah blinks at her in confusion as he tries to understand this before finally just...
Okay he honestly has nothing else he can say here. He'll just assume that maybe Rin's swimsuit is really special. Maybe it was a present to her and she likes it a lot!
Yeah. That must be it.]
Okay.
