Insert title related to beaches, parties, or even beach parties

[trueknight]

Who: Brave Vesperia members and any friends they would have invited (although, just about anyone could sneak into this and probably not be noticed)
What: Beach party!
When: Afternoon of August 23rd.
Where: A remote space station The beach |:
Summary: BV takes a small vacation from work and has a beach party to relax and take advantage of the current heatwave.
Rating: Gonna slap a PG-13 on here and hope it doesn't go beyond that.

So, after another long day of building, Sokka had approached Yuri and gave him this beach party idea. Yuri was at that point so worn out he just lazily agreed to it and wandered on home. Thankfully for the rest of the guild, instead of later deciding it was stupid and retracting his yes, he sent out the message that they were going to the beach to take a break from everything, and to bring food and friends with them if they felt like it.

Better yet, this particular day happens to be during a heatwave. Even more reason to take a break from building!

[[OOC: This is a free-for-all do-whatever sort of deal. So yeah, feel free to totally ignore the sections I'm making and just tag in with whatever your character is doing /o]]

[Well. If ever there was an excuse to ditch work, sunscreen application on a beautiful babe (whom he happens to be dating) is definitely one of them. He saunters over to where she's sitting, laying out his beach towel and flopping down beside her.]

Need some help with your back?

[His expression is both helpful and yet not entirely innocent.]

[thestormishere]

[ Lightning pauses to watch him settle, wondering if maaaybe he wants some lotion as well? However, at his offer, her eyebrows raise. She's pretty wary about letting people touch her, but then again, it is only Zack, soo... should be okay, right? She's just about to agree when she brushes the hair from her face and turns... getting a better look at that expectant gleam in his eyes. ]

Ah.

[ Expression rundown: reluctant => agreeable => wow-Zack-I-am-on-to-you. ]

[wingenvy]

[What are you talking about, his expression is (suddenly) the most innocent thing ever. Even if he's grinning and reaching for the lotion already.]

Is that a yes or an "I need a supervisor" face?

[thestormishere]

How about "this is a public place" ... face.

[ She crosses her arms over her raised knees, and her gaze flicks away over to anyone who might be watching... but she doesn't like smack the bottle out of his hands and halfway across the beach or anything like that.

Ok so she still wants to say yes, it's true. ]

[wingenvy]

You don't trust me to behave myself?

[Not that he can blame her. He does behave himself, though, smearing the lotion over the exposed skin of her back. Healthy skin makes for a happy girlfriend, or... something. Either way she's too damn pale for a lot of lotion-less tanning to be a good thing.]

[thestormishere]

[ She rolls her eyes with passion... and just barely avoids making a comment about trust that's actually far too sincere to fit the mood. If there's one thing hanging around Zack so much has taught her, it's tempering her tendency to punch conversations in the face with too much seriousness.

She tilts her head as she watches him carefully - obviously with the intention of making sure he keeps his word, and totally not with any admiration for the fact that she's got the dude all the bar girls want smearing sun block on her... and she doesn't even like bars that much so- suck it, other ladies. ]

[wingenvy]

[He can't even be subtle about the admiring bit, so that might make her feel a little better? 8D; Not that he knows about the admiring bit. She'd have heard about it if he did.]

So are you glad you came along? I know parties aren't really your thing, but I thought it might be fun.

oh so this tag's been living in the wrong thread for a while

[thestormishere]

Could be worse.

[ But she flashes a grin that proves the neutrality is only force of habit. On a scale of 'brb Ragnarok' to 'this is the best day of my entire life wow,' she's sitting at about 'it's especially hard to frown very deep right now.' :O She's actually in a good mood! ]

Hard to screw up going to the beach...

[ She looks past him towards the others engaged in their own activities, glancing back only briefly to make sure her wings aren't at too much risk of getting sunblock all over them. ]

Especially when you don't have to bring all your own snacks.

lmao lightning are you trying to teleport

[wingenvy]

So the way to your heart is through food? I'll have to remember that.

[He doesn't even nitpick about that usually being a manly trait. (Even if she'd be the sexiest man alive if she was a dude.)]

she just wanted some time to talk to herself ok

[thestormishere]

[ Huh what? Eyebrows raised, she turns her head to look at him... but then fortunately, seems to catch on. She closes her eyes, suppressing a smirk as she leans back on her hands. ]

Roses, Zack. I thought you knew that already.

[wingenvy]

...In other words, I just need to figure out how to get edible roses.

[thestormishere]

Sounds... dry.

[ Unless you carved one into a melon or something? Ohohoho.... ]

[wingenvy]

That's why you should eat them with hot chocolate or something.

[Melon carving is a good idea, though. IF ONLY HE'D THOUGHT OF IT or had the talent]

[thestormishere]

It's too hot for hot chocolate.

[ So saith the lady, as she bends a leg up to brush errant grains of sand off her knee. At least she's got a wry smirk to go with it, though. ]

[wingenvy]

What about chocolate milk? Same basic idea, cooler drink.

[thestormishere]

You're thinking chocolate milk with rose purée sounds like something you'd want to serve at the bar?

[wingenvy]

I don't know, with how diverse my customers are, I'm pretty sure I'd be able to find someone who would like it.

[thestormishere]

Probably...

[ Not that the idea of rose-chocolate-milk is too wild, but that doesn't negate the fact that there's still some crazy-ass cats around Luceti, after all. She thinks immediately of those brightly-colored ponies she's seen about. ]
