"Those sound like great ideas. Sandcastles are a critical part of beach activities. And definitely some surfboards, inner tubes, and other water floats. Maybe one or two row boats too. Any other suggestions?"

"Lots of snacks. Snacks and drinks." Because really, who wants to drink salt water? "Otherwise I think that's a pretty solid plan. It's just enough to be entertaining and take their minds off of the situation, but not enough that they don't have to use their imaginations."

"How about a barbecue? Get a grill going and everything? And assorted ice cream for dessert?"

[meteorical]

"Sounds perfect. Let me know when you get started with that...I'd love to help."

"I will, I promise. The main thing we're looking at is if there's a limit to how long a scenario can run. Wouldn't want things to shut down on everything halfway through the party, after all. But I'm sure we'll need lots of help with food. We always do on that front."

[meteorical]

"It should last a couple of hours, at least. That would be enough time wouldn't it? But I guess you're right, something to look into. But that sounds great. Food I can do. Just let me know."

"I'll keep you informed. Selphie and Rise are the others two helping with this." Ginia stops to look around at the current party going on, then to grin back to Kairi. "It'll be a good way to show the New Feathers we know how to have fun and things will be okay."

She can't help but laugh a little at the mention of Selphie. Not that there's anything really funny about it, but it's funnier when she thinks of it as her Selphie from the island. "They seem like the best ones to handle it." She follows Ginia's gaze, nodding in agreement. "It's a positive message. I like it. I almost wish something like this was in place when I first showed up."

"What were things like before?" She knows the Welcome Center wasn't always around and things have changed over the year, but it's not something too many people talk about either.

[meteorical]

"Definitely not this organized...a lot of people either had to rely on having friends here, or fending for themselves until one of the older feathers noticed them and pitched in to help." That was the one thing Kairi really did like about Luceti. Most everyone wanted to make sure the people were safe. "It was a good sense of community, but there were still a lot of things that people had to do themselves. Without the Welcome Center, people had to be put into houses and apartments right away before they could even get their bearings. It was kind of depressing."
