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

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]]

[Baww, party pooper. YOU'RE NO FUN.]

I'm kind of amazed by how many people showed up-- I didn't even realize we had this many people in the guild in the first place. But it's good that it's becoming more popular. Maybe now people will ask us to do stuff besides building things.

[Don't be silly. He's loads of fun. He's a walking party, in fact. Party Bus Lowell, they call him!

... Yeah okay he just finds ways of sucking the fun out of everything without even trying but w/e. You'll live, Emil. Maybe.]

If only that was all it'd take ... Although, not everyone here is from the guild. Some people just brought friends of theirs along.

[Why were you and Richter not BFFs you would've gotten along so well.]

Oh... maybe this will be enough to inspire them to join. It can't hurt to try, right?

[Because Yuri is a terrible person or something idk.]

Maybe so. I guess I'll see what happens when things start winding down. [a small pause, and a shrug] I won't cry about it if no one wants to join after this, though. For what we do, a big guild is ideal, but I'm fine with not having to manage more people than I've already got.

[That just causes Emil to laugh a little.]

You really don't like being in charge of things, do you?

That's not what I meant, actually. I just don't like big groups. [ ... ] Well, maybe the being in charge part is kind of right too. I can't imagine the headache I'd get if I had to run things with a group much bigger than what we've got now.

That's still a lot more than I could do. I don't think I could run a group at all. At least, I don't think anyone would want me to run a group. I'm still not all that good at standing up for myself yet.

Things like this definitely aren't for everyone, whether you can stand up for yourself or not. Hell, I'm pretty sure it's not really for me either, honestly - especially if I ran the guild the way it's supposed to be run. If I were running a guild back home the way I do here, I'd be laughed out of Dahngrest in seconds.

How are the guilds back in your world usually run? Are they really that different there?

[He's curious, because there isn't really anything quite like them in his world, at least not that he's aware of.]

A lot different, actually. Here, you could just join the guild because you want to help out with something. Back home, joining a guild means throwing away your citizenship under the Empire. Punishments for breaking guild laws are a lot more severe back home than how I'd do it here, too. Not to mention, doing a job for free is not allowed for any reason.

That sounds terrible. They'd actually punish people for trying to help others? That doesn't make any sense at all... if no one is allowed to do a job for free, that means no one is allowed to help someone just because they want to, right? What if the person can't afford to pay for help?

You're over-thinking it a little, Emil. What I meant with there being no free jobs only counts if the person hires the guild, and the size of the job they're asking for. If they dropped something and can't reach it, that's one thing - any guild member from any guild passing through could do that much without expecting to get paid for it, I'm sure. But if they left a family heirloom on a monster-infested mountaintop half way across the world, that's not something you do for free.

[a shrug]

I mean, sure, it's good to help people - especially when they can't afford it otherwise - but the guild's members need to survive too. If they take jobs from anyone, whether they can pay or not, they could end up in some serious money troubles themselves.

Oh... I guess that makes more sense. But I still don't think it would hurt to take jobs for free every once in a while if they have to, just as long as they aren't doing it all the time.

... that's probably why I'm not the one running a guild here.

Heh, no kidding. [quick pause, then--] I wouldn't mind allowing things like that myself, but it seems like rumors spread fast and get a little twisted around when it comes to guilds. I guess it could be all right if it really stayed as "once in a while", though.

I think rumors spread fast and get a little twisted around when it comes to a lot of things. I'm not sure that's just something that happens to guilds.

Definitely not, but it happens real fast with guilds. We even got stuck being known for something we just happened to do on a whim back home--

[... There's a pause where he realizes that that's exactly how Brave Vesperia ended up being "the build guild". And he promptly sighs. At least it's "that group that builds things" this time, and not "that group of warehouse organizers". Still.]

... I guess this guild is just doomed to be known for things we weren't planning on making a career out of. Man, I really hope that training school thing pays off ...

But you're still helping people, so aren't you still doing what the guild was originally for? Even if it isn't helping people in the way you thought you'd be. I mean, I didn't ever think I'd be helping cook for people, but it turns out I'm pretty good at it.

Well yeah, but building is ...

[... he trails off after that. He's complained about building things enough times that there's no point in keeping it up.]

... Anyway, I guess if it's helpful, then that's all right. I'm just dying for a little variety, that's all.

I think I'll take the building things over fighting any day.

You really like building that much?

I didn't say that!

But you'd still rather do that instead of fighting.

[He's talking as if there's something wrong with not wanting to fight. ... Or maybe he really just hates building things that much.]

Um... yes?

[Who WOULDN'T want to do something else instead of fighting? ... well, okay, he could see Yuri wanting to fight. But Yuri is really strong!]

[ ... ]

... Weirdo.

[Because obviously anything is better than building things. Obviously!]
