EVERYBODY! EVERYBODY!

[lucetimods]

Who: Everybody! Everybody!
What: It's a beach! There's fruit! Love in the air! Classy private rooms in the mountains!
When: From sunrise to midnight! (AND IT'S TODAY! FEBRUARY 18th!)
Where: Out on the beach, centered around the teleporter/tunnel exit area. But it feels like July out there! Ain't that just the shit?
Summary: Summary? Why does this need a summary. I said everything up there. And then I'm gonna say even more after this. Why do we need this field? Seriously, anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
Rating: KEEP IT CLEAN, KIDS. Take your dirty smut to an appointments post!

Long Ago In A Distant Land, Akai, the fully functional fonbot, unleashed a fairly standard mod post. But a foolish player kept asking questions and come on, do you really need to know that much? Now everyone wants to play out their ships and get into fruit shenanigans and undo to evil that is AKAI.

((No, but seriously guys, look at the mod post, you know what to do. Everything you need is there. Mass log post, remember to tag your characters name here, and do your thing.))

OH YEAH! So like, assume there is stands (or you know, beach-appropriate huts) here and there that are stocked up on bathing suits (and curtains you can change behind), stands with beverages, and snacks. Nobody's really operating them, new stuff just gets Shifted there (BUT ONLY IF YOU'RE NOT WATCHING). The Malnosso are the most considerate bro-ginization ever.

Maybe a mild fruit for some friendshippy times and hugs?

[eyesofstrength]

[Maybe trying to make a new friend because of that fruit? Because well, Leonhardt has met Grune before, but just barely.

Unlike Grune, he's not wearing a swimsuit right now. He's just sitting on a blanket looking at something in the distance since he let the Joshua and Estelle go off on their own for now. At least he looks a bit more calm and relaxed than she's seem him before.

Obviously sharing some fruit with him would be good, right? He needs to smile a bit more, after all.]

Ooh, yes!

[lostinmyway]

[Grune is always up for bringing smiles to the faces of Luceti's grumpmeisters. Or, well, trying to, anyway.

When she sees Leonhardt sitting alone in on the blankets, not even wearing a swimsuit, she has to come over to talk to him. Hmm.... Does she know him?]

Hello. Do you need help finding a swimsuit?

[eyesofstrength]

[At least Grune has a chance to be successful today since the experiment has put Leonhardt into a better mood, but he's always been a bit of a grump.]

I don't. I just don't really enjoy swimming much.

[Plus if Joshua isn't going to swim for reasons he understands, he'll do the same.]

[lostinmyway]

[Does not compute.]

Oh, my, really? Why not?

[eyesofstrength]

[Of course it wouldn't, but there's other things to do at a beach besides swim at least.]

I grew up in a small village not close to a beach like this. I can swim, but learned more for practical purposes when I moved to a place that had lakes and oceans.

[lostinmyway]

That's too bad. [She still thinks he'd enjoy it, but....]

Why don't we do something else?

[eyesofstrength]

[Why does he just get this feeling of dread now? Yeah, he's more relaxed than normal because of this experiment, but still being a bit of a grump so far.]

Do you have something in mind?

[lostinmyway]

Hmm.... We could go for a walk.

[Wonder of wonders, it's actually not too bad.]

[eyesofstrength]

[Well, from what he's seen of Grune so far, she's got a lot in common with Karin, and he knows he could be in for it with her. Not usually in a bad way, just something embarrassing, which is why the dread.]

That would be fine. Unless you have someone special you wish to spend time with, of course. I'm just fine watching my little brother and sister from here.

[lostinmyway]

[She does, but....]

It's all right. I can spend some time with Kyon and Stahn a little later.

[She gets to her feet and waits for Leonhardt.]

[eyesofstrength]

[Leonhardt will go ahead and stand up.]

If you are sure. I know how valuable time spent with loved ones is.

[lostinmyway]

Yes, it's very special, isn't it?

[She starts ambling aimlessly along the beach.]

Is your important person here?

[eyesofstrength]

[He'll go ahead and follow her, even if it is aimless. It's not that big a deal really and Grune is interesting enough, even if a bit strange.]

She isn't. Some of my family is here, and that is it.

[lostinmyway]

[That gets a bright smile from her.]

Oh, I'm glad they're here. It's wonderful to have your family close, isn't it?

[eyesofstrength]

[Unfortunately Leonhardt doesn't return the smile, because he'd rather his family was not here.]

It is, but I would rather they were not here. They don't deserve to go through the experiments and I cannot protect them from everything here.

[lostinmyway]

Oh, but if they weren't here, they'd miss you.

[Grune, that's not how it works.]

[eyesofstrength]

[That just makes Leonhardt pause, because well, yeah, it doesn't work that way. Though really, they'd not miss him because in his world Joshua doesn't even remember he exists.]

They would not. It is a bit complicated.

[lostinmyway]

[That doesn't make any sense.]

But they're your family. Why wouldn't they miss you?

[eyesofstrength]

[It wouldn't make sense, that's why it's complicated. How many worlds have people who can erase memories after all?]

In my world my little brother doesn't remember me. We were able to restore his memories here.

[lostinmyway]

[You'd be surprised.]

Oh, my. I'm very sorry to hear that. But it's good he remembers you now.

[eyesofstrength]

[well, he did stalk Joshua's post about that subject and there weren't that many worlds, and only maybe one or two had anything like what Joshua experienced.]

Sometimes I'm not so sure. He seemed far happier before remembering.

[lostinmyway]

[It's a reasonable assumption for him to make--particularly since he hasn't known Grune long enough to realize she's also working under the effects of magical memory loss.

She gives him a concerned look.]

That can't be true. After all, finding your family is a very happy thing.

[eyesofstrength]

I merely want what is best for my family and to protect them. The lack of memory did protect from an unpleasant past.

[lostinmyway]

Well.... I'm sure everything has worked out for the best. You shouldn't worry.

[eyesofstrength]

Doesn't everyone worry about losing their loved ones though?
