WHO: Any and all friends of Masaomi/anyone who happens to be on the beach! Invitations would’ve gone out via a (handwaved) secret entry or word of mouth.
WHAT: Masaomi’s birthday party, planned by Shikamaru-Gold-Ikki.
WHEN: Wednesday, June 19th.
WHERE: The beach!
SUMMARY: BEACH BIRTHDAY BASH. It’s pretty simple.
RATING: B FOR BIRTHDAY.

So after being reminded about Masaomi’s birthday, Gold came up with a much better idea than Shikamaru’s (lame) sit-down dinner! Therefore welcome to an all-dayish surprise beach birthday party! There are tables for presents and food, there is music (chosen by the boys, not by Ikki), and there is a sand castle city, complete with sandscrapers, which is what Gold put Ikki in charge of. The sand castle city has gotten a little out of hand because of this.

So stop by, wish Masaomi a happy birthday, and HAVE FUN. While there are three topic threads, FEEL FREE AND ENCOURAGED to just throw up your character at the party below that/anywhere, as per always.

[ She stretches her arms above her head, catching her breath as she turns back to face him. ]

Don't take it too hard. Water is my first element, after all.

[generalflirt]

And I believe those spirits showed that "lightning" is mine, contrary to whatever the Prince might have thought.

[This is said with some humor as he gets to his own feet]

[precipitous]

[ That earns him a curious look. ] The Prince?

[generalflirt]

Just this one fellow who's related to an old Shift. It doesn't matter that much.

[Except it does. A lot. But he keeps his tone even and breezy]

[precipitous]

Is he in Luceti? [ Korra is reasonably sure she hasn't heard of any prince being around here...besides Zuko. ]

[generalflirt]

No, I'm afraid he's been gone a while.

[precipitous]

Oh. [ Easy enough to shrug off and forget, then. ] ...You've been in Luceti a pretty long time, haven't you?

[generalflirt]

Ahahaha... turning nineteen in this moment does strike up some nostalgia, yeah. After all, I was but sixteen when I arrived.

[precipitous]

That would mean you've been here about as long as Sokka and Katara, huh.

[ She can't imagine it. But then again, she hadn't been able to imagine being here for a month, much less four. ]

[generalflirt]

A little less, given Katara greeted me, but... just about, I imagine.

[precipitous]

Does it feel like it's been that long?

[generalflirt]

[With his breath caught, he's still a little sandy, but he puts his arms behind his head to look up at the sky]

Longer than, really. For these three years might as well have been a lifetime, for me.

[precipitous]

[ That makes her hesitate - that didn't mean he didn't have a life to return to back home, did he?

But she doesn't ask. ]

Busy time?

[generalflirt]

Got it in one. [With with love, busy with friends, busy with war... busy with a lot of things, really] I'm surprised I'm not bone-tired.

[precipitous]

Not even after that swim?

[generalflirt]

[Huh-]

[generalflirt]

[And he just bursts out laughing. He was having a deep moment there. Him, him! Jeez, and he's usually the one which relates things to something more grounded and less real]

Right, no- that might have been a lie, Korra-chan.

[precipitous]

Good. I was worried I was going to have to drag you back out there again.

[ She was offering a distraction. She had a hunch the thing he probably didn't want to think about on his birthday was just how long he'd been here. ]

[generalflirt]

You want to drag me around?

[And as his laugh trails off, he screws of his face into a serious look, arching his eyebrows]

[precipitous]

If it made your birthday better, I guess I would.

[ She's taking it pretty literally. ]

[generalflirt]

I'm not sure I'm into that.

[precipitous]

Then I won't! But I'll keep it in mind if you get on my nerves later.

[generalflirt]

So noted, Korra-chan.

[A beat, and...]

But, you know, you're not living up to Ikki's promise of babes in bikinis.

[precipitous]

[ ...

IKKI... ]

How'd you get her to promise you that, huh?

[generalflirt]

That's the best part, I didn't! Would you believe that charming angel organized this affair of her own volition?!
