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~ ))

Never mind. Don't worry about it.

[Alice smiles, dropping the subject. It's not because Grune wouldn't understand (or forget any explanations), but maybe it's something not worth debating.]

So are you having fun here?

Hey, know if Giles is here?

[lostinmyway]

Oh, yes, I'm having a lot of fun! But I don't know if Giles is here. I haven't seen him yet.

[shadedsunlight]

Glad to hear that. And a pity. I think he'd be pretty cute in a pair of swim trunks. [No shame. No shame at all.]

[lostinmyway]

...Cute?

[Yeah, good luck explaining this one to Grune.]

[shadedsunlight]

Attractive? Good-looking? Handsome is a good one, he's a pretty handsome guy.

[lostinmyway]

[Her expression clears…somewhat.] Yes, he has a very kind face, doesn't he?

[shadedsunlight]

[Alice quickly picks up on the fact Grune doesn't get it. Oh well.] Yes, he does. Though he's a little more scowly around me.

You have a very kind face too.

[lostinmyway]

Oh, thank you! That's so nice of you to say.

And don't worry. I'm sure he'll smile for you soon.

[shadedsunlight]

Maybe after I apologize to him?

[And most likely after she stops flirting and embarrassing him.]

[lostinmyway]

Oh, yes. I'm sure he'll give you a nice smile then.

[shadedsunlight]

I guess that'd be nice, but I have a feeling he'll be happier to have Ginia back.

[lostinmyway]

Don't worry. I know he'll be happy to be your friend, too. You just need to spend a little more time together.

[shadedsunlight]

Time builds all bonds. Alice muses lightly. Maybe in time they'll get along. Alice has a hunch it'll be more a stoic toleration for Ginia's sake, but she'll take it. She knows she could stand to be nicer to the ex-watcher.

[lostinmyway]

Oh, that's a nice saying. I don't think I've heard that one before.

[shadedsunlight]

Consider it the opposite of "time heals all wounds". But you can't get to know someone if you don't spend some time with them.

[lostinmyway]

Yes, that's right. The more you spend time with someone, the closer you become.

Aww! New icons!

[shadedsunlight]

And if you spend too much time away, you drift apart or become forgotten. [She's not trying to be a little ball of pessimism, but Alice states what comes to her mind. The little things that just are is.]

I am SO EXCITED. 8D

[lostinmyway]

That's why it's important to keep your friends close to your heart.

As you should!

[shadedsunlight]

I wouldn't know. I don't have many friends. [As in none. Okay, well, there's Beat now, a thought that still boggles her mind.]

[lostinmyway]

[Grune looks mildly surprised.] Don't you?

[Be very careful about how you answer this one, Alice. Dhaos and Mami can tell you: it's a dangerous question.]

[shadedsunlight]

I guess I have one, here. Ginia's kinda a second friend too if you can friend yourself. Never really made friends back home. Never needed to.

[lostinmyway]

[And confessions of friendlessness claim their third victim.]

Why don't you come meet my other friends? That way, you won't be lonely anymore. I'm sure you'd all get along so well.

[shadedsunlight]

[Alice balks a little at that, uncertainty reflecting on her face.]

No, that's okay, I don't want to impose. You could ask Ginia though. She likes making new friends.

[lostinmyway]

Oh, it's no trouble at all! I'm sure my friends would be very happy to meet you.

[shadedsunlight]

[Alice shifts a little in place, growing a bit more uncomfortable by the prospect. But Grune is offering so nicely and she feels like being rude would be disappointing her.]

I'll give it some thought.
