lucetilogs | Beach Volleyball Tournament

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!

[He didn't mind the dying part. It was his moral quandary surrounding the incident that bothered him.] No--I was one of the guys who went into the facility, and the disguise didn't leave any room for a kevlar vest. I'm just a man, and bullets are not fun to take.

Don't I know it; bullets really sting. [ A brief pause. The important part.. ] Are you okay now? [ She was pretty sure that he looked fine, even though he'd died. She'd heard about all these super debilitating effects that happened when you died, she'd been expecting someone who died to be stuck somewhere in their housing, unable to move. ]

Don't I know it~ [Even normally, he was no stranger to them--they have, indeed, nearly cost him his life on a number of occasions. He offers Yuri a reassuring smile at her question.]

I'm okay enough. My mind is intact and I'm not blind, which has always been the important things. They just left me with odd bouts of vertigo and a screwed up sense of balance.

I'm working around it, but I really just can't stay cooped up for the next...I'm not even going to think about how long.

So if I poked you in the side a few times would you fall over?

[ She moved closer, almost as though she was about to do just as she'd suggested. ]

[He eyed her warily.] I'd rather you didn't. It's funny how the sand and the heat can be hard enough to deal with.

Are you sure? Maybe we should bury you in the sand~ [ Her tone is obviously playful at least.. though with her that might not be comforting, all things considered. ]

[Dat tone--dat face.]

Pippa...I'm not sure I'm comfortable with that tone of voice. [He may need an adult.]

[ She makes an odd, short, confident laugh with her lips closed. It's almost sing-song. ] H-hmm~ Don't worry, I'll make sure to let you go by the end of the day!

[sca-ree~]

You know what? I think I'm pretty good. The Hawaiian shirt really is a lovely touch--you don't need to add anything else to it.

Hmm, maybe I should let you off [ pause ] If you promise to wear one of those cheap rainbow leis and attempt to hula in front of no less than five people, not including myself.

I'll wear the lei, but no hula. Balance, Pippa. Remember?

Oh I remember, just pretend you're drunk.

Aaaaand pretending to be drunk [And actually drinking a little to prove it] Got me in trouble with one of the doctors--and probably Law himself, if he catches word.

...do you really want to make me face Law's wrath? He's terrifying~

I'll protect you~

He took out a Kraken. A pretty little thing like you can't save me from the Kraken Slayer!

I'm dead and I can at the very least hold my own against a girl who can take out an entire army regularly with self-made superpowers. Also fire a gun accurately at a moving target from a distance, though I think my knife fighting is a little better.

...You've obviously never seen Law at work. [And he's not going to try to describe it--the man could rend ships, teleport, and God only knew what else.]

I don't even know who he is. Anyway, is he the kind of guy who can't stand hurting a girl's feelings? I can pull that too.

He's a super stealthy ninja-pirate. I don't think he'll care.

Then it's easy. Just tell him the truth that a crazy girl threatened to bury you alive if you didn't. What's he going to do, kill me? [ She says it with a tone that could've easily been a laugh ]

...

You know what? I think I'll take being buried, thanks.

Let's go then! [ Yep, she's serious about it. ]

You mean it wasn't a joke?!

Absolutely not, you didn't sign up for the tournament so you don't have to do anything else all day! Don't worry, I'll put sunscreen on your face!
