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~ ))

[Not bad, she's a quick learner. Not that Kurt has any idea what to expect in this kind of situation.]

Great! Let's got a little deeper now, yeah? That way you can swim with your feet.

[floralphantasm.livejournal.com]

Very well, let us proceed.

[Right, so, how should she go about this? Moving forward, she parts the water with her arms and kicks her legs behind her. It basically looks like a rather clumsy breaststroke.

She wonders if anyone on the beach is watching them... If anyone laughs at her 'respectable' attempt at swimming she'll cover them in flowers. Poisonous flowers.]

[bamfing]

[Well, Kurt isn't laughing, at least! But once she's able to stay afloat on her own, he'll move on to other stuff. He doesn't expect her to get it all at once, though. Surfing obviously won't be coming today.]

[Slowly moving about in the water now, trying her best to refine whatever stroke it is she's trying to pull off, not that she knows any...

Everything seems to be going fine until her hand hits the water at an odd angle, sending sea water splashing into her face.]

Ah-- Ack! How terrible!

[And within a moment she's floating above the water, coughing a little and rubbing her eyes. This water stings and tastes weird... Well at least she knows for certain it's possible to float out of water now.]

[bamfing]

[That surprises him at first, then he ends up staring at her slightly amused.]

Is that enough for today?

[floralphantasm.livejournal.com]

[Like hell it is. She's going to lower herself back into the water slow, making sure her head is well away from the water.]

A little water cannot deter me. It merely caught me off guard.

do you want to handwave the rest of the lesson?

[bamfing]

Ahh, right, of course. [He says it a little teasingly, but then it's right back to business.] Okay, where were we?

Sounds good to me. /o/

[floralphantasm.livejournal.com]

We were about to swim out further, correct?

[Trying her best to keep her head far away from the foul tasting salt water, she continues swimming as Kurt guides her on what to do.]

[bamfing]

Ah, right, okay. Follow me.

[And thus Kurt continued to teach her in all manners of not drowning.]

[floralphantasm.livejournal.com]

[And not a single bit of drowning happened that day. After the lesson she returns to the beach and sits down on the sand.]

I must say, swimming requires a little more effort to it than flying. [Moving your arms and kicking your legs and stuff.] Regardless, it has been an enthralling experience all the same.

[bamfing]

[Kurt does more or less the same, only instead of sitting, he falls on his back. He'll get sand in his fur, but he'll rinse off later.]

Yeah, but still fun, yeah? Who knows, it might save you some day!

[floralphantasm.livejournal.com]

[Yuuka won't go as far as to say it were fun, however...] It was very interesting to learn something new. I certainly hope that being able to swim will be of use to me in future.

[bamfing]

Well... we'd move on to surfing, but I am spent. [He just wants to lie here and bake for awhile.]

[floralphantasm.livejournal.com]

I see, how disappointing. Though I suppose it is a good tactic to take new experiences one at a time rather than rushing headlong into these sorts of things. If that is all for the day, I shall excuse myself to go get changed.

[If swimming time is over, there's no point in staying in that swimsuit for the rest of her time on the beach now, is there?]

[bamfing]

Leaving already? [Blink blink. Welp. Okay.] Well, later Yuuka!

[floralphantasm.livejournal.com]

That was my intention. Why, are there other events that warrant interest which I should remain present for? [She'll wave off the goodbye for now should there be anything else she deems worth doing.]
