partyin' partyin'

Who: luceti
What: See subject title!
When: August 14, 2011
Where: The beach!
Summary: What's a summer without going on a trip to the beach at least once?
Rating: PG13+? Depends, really.

[When one enters the beach, if they're the type of people to make beelines for food as soon as they step into a party, they'll notice that there are a few tables set up with a bunch of snacks laid about, along with a giant cooler residing at the end of the table. There's a barbecue going on too, though it'll be self-serve if you're hungry.]

[Otherwise, there's a bunch of sporting equipment laying about. A Frisbee, a few volleyball nets... Whatever you'd like to be there! Don't forget, there's always swimming in the ocean, too.]


(( OOC: Advertisements the party have been up since the start of the month, though poorly drawn by yours truly. Everyone's free to come, too! New Feather, or old. Feel free to start up your own threads~ ))

Ahh, well, I think it looks good anyway. You look great. [Always with the flattery.] It'll be a lot better for swimming, trust me. You don't want to go in there wearing a bunch of clothes.

[floralphantasm.livejournal.com]

I believe you are correct. This material is light weight and porous so less water will be trapped if I get wet, whereas my other clothing was cloth and wool, meaning it would retain more water should it ever get splashed. [What is flattery when you can assess the appropriateness of swimwear over everyday clothes.] Shall we return now then~?

[bamfing]

Ahh, right, of course. [He holds out his hand again.]

Ready?

[floralphantasm.livejournal.com]

Indeed~ [And taking his hand again.]

[bamfing]

[All that stuff that happened before? Well it does that again and now they're back at the beach, just where they left. The surf board is even still the same distance away.]

And here we are! Welcome back to the beach and I hope you enjoyed the Nightcrawler Express.

[floralphantasm.livejournal.com]

[Whoosh, teleporting. Still quite impressive the second time over. Being out on the beach now she can already feel the difference from changing before. Those stuffy clothes were boiling.]

It was an interesting ride, my gratitude goes out to the conductor. [Wait.] What's 'the Nightcrawler'? I understand you were making a reference towards locomotives, but... [Explaining the joke ruins it Yuuka, stop it.]

[bamfing]

Nightcrawler is my code name. It's ahh... because I crawl on walls and am best at night time. Nothing to do with the bug, trust me.

[People always make that mistake.]

[floralphantasm.livejournal.com]

A code name? What an interesting concept. In that case should I refer to you as such then, or is there something else you'd rather have me call you than 'Nightcrawler'? And do not worry, the insect did not even cross my mind. Nightcrawlers would probably experience great difficulty in attempting to pollinate my flowers anyway~ [Gardening on the mind 24/7.]

[bamfing]

[The sudden derailment to flowers gives him pause to blink and gawk for a moment, before shaking his head.]

Ahh... just Kurt is fine, thanks.

[floralphantasm.livejournal.com]

Very well, Kurt it is. Seeing as I now have a name for you, I shall present you with the same for me. I am Yuuka Kazami~

[She'd curtsy, but in this outfit...]

[bamfing]

[Of course! Another Japanese name. He's so used to this by now.]

It's a pretty name.

[floralphantasm.livejournal.com]

You think so? I have never given my name much thought.

[Names aside, she'll glance over towards the surf board now...]

[bamfing]

Oh, totally. [Even if it's completely foreign! Oh well. On to business.]

I guess we should get started. How good at swimming are you?

[floralphantasm.livejournal.com]

Having never been swimming before in my life, how proficient do you imagine I am? [Because going surfing without any idea of how to swim is the best idea ever.] I am more adjusted to flying than I ever will be to swimming.

[bamfing]

... ahh. Maybe we should work on the swimming before the surfing, yeah?

[Oh jeez. The ocean for swimming lessons. What did he get himself into?]

[floralphantasm.livejournal.com]

If you really, well and truly insist on showing me how to swim you can do so. However...
[Suddenly she throws herself back into the air. It looks at though she would end up falling onto the sand, but before hitting the ground she stops and turns in mid-air, now floating just above the ground.]
As you can see, I should be fine surfing without previously knowing how to~ [Should she fall off, she'll just float out of harms way.]

[bamfing]

[That's a pretty sweet trick and impressive. But it doesn't get much more from Kurt than raised eyebrows. Powers stop being surprising and just become 'neat' when you live with the X-Men.]

That's a pretty sweet move, but would it work if you were underwater?

[floralphantasm.livejournal.com]

[If she wanted a better reaction, she might have gone with making a double of herself and firing two giant lasers, but she'll save that for a more appropriate time.

Would it work underwater? Good question.]

Of course, I have no reason to believe it wouldn't~ [She notices all those humans floating and bobbing about in the water. If they can float, she can float better. And then after floating, hovering will follow if it ever comes to that.]

[bamfing]

Well... probably better to learn than risk it, yeah? Besides, you never know when it could come in useful.

[After all, a Shifter and a body of water could spell doom for her.]

[floralphantasm.livejournal.com]

If you really must insist I learn how to swim then let's get on with it already. [Whilst it might by risky not knowing how to swim she doesn't seem to care all that much.]

And here I was thinking flying would be sufficient~

[bamfing]

[She'll thank him one day. Maybe.]

Right, well, let's go hit the water, yeah? Follow me. [He will WALK to the water. Even if teleporting is so much cooler.]

[floralphantasm.livejournal.com]

[Maybe being the prime word there. Oh, and she'll float to the water as she follows Kurt before setting herself down, because who walks anywhere anymore?

...

Once Yuuka is there, she just stops and stares at the water, her feet only just being lapped by the waves.]

[bamfing]

[He's almost knee deep in when he turns around.]

Something wrong?

[floralphantasm.livejournal.com]

Of course not, the very thought of such a thing~

[Very slowly wading out into the water. Whoah. Whoah. This is pretty interesting, how cool the water feels on her legs. She's getting to you Kurt, give her a second...]

[bamfing]

... you've never been in the ocean, have you?

[It's kind of cool to think he's exposing her to something like this for the first time. His first trip to the beach was pretty awesome, he remembers that much.]
