Beach Volleyball Tournament

[magentarific]

Who: Anyone!
What: Volleyball Tournament
When: July 22nd, 11am onward!
Where: The Beach!
Summary: Fun in the sun and a bit of competitive spirit! If you signed up for the volleyball tournament, be prepared to rock the house down against the opposing teams! Just there to watch? Enjoy the seats around the volleyball courts as a spectator and have a refreshing drink or some beach-side snacks! SWIMSUIT REQUIRED for everyone there. If you're found by someone in charge without one you may or may not be subject to getting mysteriously kidnapped and put in one, human or not. That's right, even chihuahuas if there are any have to at least have a cool straw hat and sunglasses.
Rating: PG-13. Please try to keep it PG-13 max and warn in the subject header for anything iffy!
When you first arrive, there will be a huge board with the brackets for the tournament on it:



{{ ooc: All of the brackets were totally randomized using RNG on random.org. Unfortunately, I don't have all of the muns memorized so if I put your character against another one of your character, PLEASE let me now ASAP and we can get that fixed! If there are no replies to a match within one week, that team will be disqualified as having not showed up, just so that we can keep going. After the first week, it will be 3 days. (The first week is to account for Otakon, since I know a lot of people are going to that.) }}

After you pass the sign, there are multiple volleyball courts set up, ref towers, lots of beach umbrellas and towels set out on the sand for viewers, and waiters and waitresses handing out drinks to anyone who comes by, courtesy of the local bars. Alcohol will only be available to those who are 18+. It's hot, too, so make sure you don't forget sunscreen!

[Yunoha is a little lost amongst the group of taller than 5 feet people and that makes spectating a little harder than usual.

...maybe she should come back for the finals.

However, as she attempts to move away from the crowd (the beach seems like a nice, quieter place to hang out meanwhile), she'll accidentally...walk into Claude. Whoops. How tall are you, Claude?]

[mirrorblade]

[He is close to six feet tall! And bumping into Yunoha is like having a stuffed toy thrown at him or something. It still takes him by surprise, though, and he quickly apologizes for it.

Clearly, she was too small to see...]

Whoops, sorry about that!

[seethrul]

[Ouch, her nose.]

I-it's okay. [It's going to be bent out of shape!] Are you hurt anywhere?

[mirrorblade]

No, no, I think I'm okay. [She probably couldn't hurt him if she tried.] Uh, are you?

[seethrul]

N—

[But whatever that she's about to say is been drowned out by a cheer from a section of the crowd. Sounds like someone scored a point!]

[mirrorblade]

[Claude looks over at the sudden crowd eruption. It's not hard to tell what's going on.]

Everyone's so lively! [He turns back to Yunoha, looking somewhat sheepish.] What were you saying?

[seethrul]

—oh! I'm fine, it doesn't hurt as much.

I'm sorry, I should've been looking at where I was going.

[mirrorblade]

Oh, no, it's fine! Totally fine. Accidents happen. [With a smile on his face, he shrugs.] It's pretty busy today. I think everyone's in a bit of a hurry.

[seethrul]

That's understandable. It's a really exciting occasion today.

[must not fade...]

Um...are these kind of events normal here?

[mirrorblade]

Well, it's the first volleyball tournament I've been to here, but things like this aren't strange. I think the people here are always looking for something to do to keep themselves busy.

[seethrul]

Oh...there aren't a lot of ways to pass the time?

[Sure, this place is no Neo-Kowloon, but it seems...active enough. Populated enough.]

[mirrorblade]

Oh, there are! I just think people like finding things to do here together, that's all.

[seethrul]

Well, it is always more fun when you can do something with others.

[mirrorblade]

Yeah, it sure is. Even just watching everyone else is a lot of fun.

[seethrul]

...wouldn't joining in be better?

[mirrorblade]

Oh, joining in is definitely better! But sometimes, it's nice to just sit back and watch, too, you know?

[seethrul]

I suppose so.

[Noooo, Yunoha likes participating best!

...if only because she spent a good chunk of her time in Neo-Kowloon being literally invsible.]

...but you aren't going to watch either?

[You're heading away, aren't you, Claude?]

[mirrorblade]

Oh, I'm definitely going to watch! I just wanted to be near the water for a while. It's been a long time since I've been to the ocean.

[seethrul]

Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to— [CHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER] — be in the way.
