The Breeze in Your Hair and the Sand Between Your Feet

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Who: Open to FMA crew + Haruhi, and Sokka (Later on?)
What: Beach party + Camping/Sailing for the teens
When: 16 (Start) → 20 (Return for the teens)
Where: Beach!
Summary: An outing to the beach!
Rating: PG-13 (Shouldn't get worse than that, though?)

While Ed is cooperating and the weather is pleasant a decision is made to go to the beach and have some fun! This will work similar to a mass action log, and y'all can create and reply to threads as you see fit.

[ HEADTILT...

and after he follows. ]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Think you can do better?

[truthhides.livejournal.com]

[ HM. he studies the sand. ] No alchemy?

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

No, you know that would be cheating.

[ahobby.livejournal.com]

Just checking.

[ taking the pail! scooping up a bucket full! putting it down. then again, then again, then again. until he has four evenly spaced mountains forming a square! now making little bridges between them... ]

[ he hasn't made a sand castle in so long, and not in this body... and it's going to become pretty clear that he can't do something small scale. HMM. adding more and more sand!

... he needs a stick to start putting details on. ]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

[ahobby.livejournal.com]

[ not at all. but al's going to try to find that stick.

and when he does, it's going to start looking like this (http://data.whicdn.com/images/10231929/sand-castle_thumb.jpg?1306623397). ]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Wow, you're really good at this.

[ahobby.livejournal.com]

It's not that hard. I could show you. [ if he could use alchemy, this sand castle would be massive.

... and probably feeble, since his alchemy isn't as strong here. ]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

No, it's okay. I'm just surprised because you and Ed usually only focus on alchemy.

[truthhides.livejournal.com]

[ ... there might be an alchemic circle or two on the back where you can't see it. ]

I read a book on sandcastles one night. I always wanted to try making one like I saw. [ seriously, when you don't sleep, you will read anything. he has an encylopedic knowledge on alchemy and food now. ]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Really? Want to try another one?

[truthhides.livejournal.com]

Sure. [ PONDER.

... OH. He knows! ] Let's make a dragon.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's a challenge! Let's do it.

[truthhides.livejournal.com]

I think we have to start by making a big mound.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

All right!

[truthhides.livejournal.com]

[ and Al scoots back a bit to give the more room to work with. let's make a massive monster of a sand dragon!

... this is the first time since becoming a suit of armor he's really had the chance to just be a kid. ]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

Shall we make a regular or a Xingnese dragon?

[truthhides.livejournal.com]

[ ... he looks around, half afraid that ling will appear out of thin air at the mention of his country.

... also see that dragon just reminds him of alkahestry and he's still huffy about that. ] Regular.

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

It'll need wings, then!

[ahobby.livejournal.com]

[ OKAY. he'll work on shaping the head!

clearly, al trumps ed when it comes to building things, because this doesn't have his face on it. ]

[crytearsofjoy.livejournal.com]

[truthhides.livejournal.com]

[ he's got a small piece of drift wood and is using that to carefully add the spiralling horns and put some detail on the face. ]
