Who: Everyone!
What: New Feather Beach Party!
When: June 18th, 1:00 until...whenever!
Where: The Beach
Summary: Funtime Ocean/Beach Shenannigans!
Rating: G-PG

It's been a lot of hard work, but the New Feather Party is set up and ready to go! A make-shift canopy has been set up, underneath which are a few small tables covered with various foods, some made by Welcome Center staff(though people are encouraged to bring dishes of their own to share!) along with some small ice-filled coolers full of various drinks. There are also a few beach balls, some buckets full of water balloons and some small water pistols (All Pilouette could find were the basic kind; no pumps here!) scattered about for for a bit of fun in the hot weather.

((OOC: There are subthreads, but feel free to post your own top level comments as well!))

[Gai stretches out an arm to slip beneath her and tug her against his side for warmth, since he's got a sneaking suspicion that her bathing suit will end up being somewhat cold and unpleasant now that they're out of the water. But it's so hard to concentrate with her drawing patterns on his skin like that, and he finds himself suddenly glad that she's more clothed than he is lest he be tempted to mimic her actions on her.]

Never let it be said that constant training wasn't good for something.

[Unfortunately, it's already cold and unpleasant. The suit isn't really meant to be soaked through, and it probably won't dry for a while now. So she's grateful for Gai's body heat--at least, whatever she can get through the suit. But it is... sticking... to her.]

All for that one moment when you have to pull a girl out of the ocean. [She grins.]

[Yeah, he's starting to notice how cold and gross it feels now that it's pressed up against him. And they used these things to swim in why? Nothing about this fabric screams "this would be perfect for getting soaking wet" to him. It's sodden and kind of itchy, to top it all off.]

Or carry her back to your apartment after a wild night at the bar.

[...sorry Gai. Synthetics aren't exactly on the horizon when it comes to swimwear in her time. Though she's already curious, truth be told, about the various things she's found in the clothing shop...]

Clearly I'm only here to be carried around and take advantage of all of your training.

Well, if you want to take advantage of me, I'd say you've got me in the perfect position for that.

[Because he certainly doesn't feel like moving just yet, that much is for sure.]

[Wow Gai, you are just incorrigible, aren't you? Elizabeth makes a shocked and scandalized noise and sits up.] Gai!

[Yeah, she caught what you dropped there. But she's amused and blushing, and still holding his hand.] I thought you said I hadn't worn you out that much.

[One thing Elizabeth will learn very quickly if she's going to date Gai is that shame is a concept that does not exist in his vocabulary. Especially not when his lack of shame gets such cute reactions as a result.]

And I told you it would take a lot more than just that to wear me out. I never said I wouldn't go along with any taking advantage of.

[Well fortunately, Elizabeth isn't terribly bothered by Gai's seductive tones or racy comments. She finds them... enticing, if she's being honest. But Elizabeth isn't one to swoon over a few sweet words and a squeeze. Gai knows that though--he has to.]

[She hovers over Gai, raising an eyebrow at him and smirking down at him.] I think it would be mutual then. [She gets an idea looking down at Gai, and mischief sparks in her eyes.]

Is that what it's going to take to get you to sit up? [Elizabeth leans over Gai and hovers. Hovers a few inches away from Gai's lips.] Me taking advantage of you on your back?

[Years of practice at keeping a neutral face under pressure are all that keeps Gai smiling right back up at her, because he's pretty sure that his brain just ground to a crashing halt at her words. Or, more precisely, ground to a halt, and then switched gears to a very different (and far less innocuous) track.

What she just said sounds like a something he'd enjoy a great deal, even if it probably wouldn't end with him sitting up. Not that he thinks she'll actually do it, but it can't hurt to let his imagination run wild for a few moments here, right?

Once again, he lets his voice slide down the register into a decidedly more seductive tone. Two can play at this game, and he plans to give as good as he gets.]

Why don't we find out?

[Hooked, clearly. Elizabeth grins, getting a little thrill when Gai's voice drops. That was her, all her. This means she's getting better at this whole... paramour thing, right?]

[She leans down and brushes her lips, just barely, over Gai's. And then she pulls back a few inches to hover again. Baiting him, trying to make him chase her up.]

[If you asked Gai, he would say she had it down from the very beginning, though he might be a bit biased in that respect. She certainly knows how to get him going, that much is for sure.

He's about to try to turn that kiss into something a little deeper when she pulls away... which he really should've seen coming. Oh, that is no fair, and that may be a very quiet sound of disappointment that escapes him when she does so.

BUT HE WILL NOT GIVE IN. Nope. Not yet. Not leaning up yet, as much as he wants to.]

[She lets a little delighted laugh out. So maybe she's being a little cruel, but she is having a bit of fun here. Elizabeth hadn't ever thought of herself as a flirtatious person, but she'd never really thought of herself in a romantic sense at all before. This is just fun, and she doesn't mean any harm by her teasing.]

[Elizabeth raises her eyebrow, bites her bottom lip a little.] Not enough?

[This is the best kind of cruel, though, at least in Gai's eyes. Teasing makes things that much more fun, and quite frankly, he wouldn't be interested in a girl who couldn't keep up with him in that department. He finds it ridiculously attractive.]

I'm a patient man.

[But oh man, is it hard to resist the urge to pull her down for another kiss right about now.]

Well unfortunately, I'm a patient woman. Twenty years in the same place all alone gives you certain skills. [Like Godly patience.]

[Though her patience doesn't stop her from putting a finger under Gai's chin.] It doesn't give you other things, though.

Oh?

[He lets her tilt his chin, though he keeps his eyes fixed on her face, curious to see what she means by that. He may be patient, and able to keep his cool under almost any circumstance, but somehow she is managing to test the limits of his patience just by existing. What he wants more than anything is to just scoop her up, carry her back to his apartment, and express every single one of the feelings that are twisting his stomach into excited knots right now.

He also knows that isn't what she wants, and because of that, he's going to hold back and let her set the pace.]

[...shoot, she thought that might do it. Apparently she needs to think on the fly right now though, because she's not giving in just yet.]

I... don't know what to do with a handsome man like you. I don't know what to do with myself when we're this close. [Elizabeth's finger traces Gai's jaw until her whole hand is against his cheek.] I don't think I'll ever know.

You don't have to know. That's what instinct is for.

[He allows himself a moment of weakness to lean his cheek just slightly into that hand, still smiling.]

I think you'll find it isn't a bad teacher at all.

[... okay, he can't resist the urge to let that smile get just a tiny bit less innocent.]

... nor am I.

[Elizabeth could argue that she doesn't have much instinct for this at all, that what she's read is so far away from what Gai does that she might as well be in remedial school for kissing.]

[But that smile... that smile will kill every argument dead every single time.] No, you're not. You're an... excellent teacher. [And she can't help but blush at the admission.]

I think I'm out of practice, though. Forgetting my lessons...

[That smile is just one of many tricks in Gai's arsenal of non-physical weapons. One of the things he learned long ago was that his attractiveness could be put to very good use, just like he's doing now. Hey, he never claimed to be innocent in any sense of the word.]

Forgetting so soon? Then I can't be that good a teacher if you've already forgotten everything you've learned.

Maybe I'm not a very good student. [Probably a bold-faced lie, Elizabeth's life had been nothing but study. And she picked it up quickly.]

[She leaned in closer to Gai again.] Maybe you should give me a refresher.

[How very kind of her to make things easier for him like that! Now Gai does move, pushing himself up on one arm to close the short distance between them and capture her lips with his own. A part of his mind gives a brief chiding in the form of "horny teenager", but he quickly tells that part to shove it and focuses on the task at hand.

To him, she's one of the most attractive women he's ever encountered, even if she might not believe that. Maybe she'll believe it if he shows her how he feels.]

[Elizabeth doesn't move fast enough, but after the initial noise of protest she's humming against Gai's lips. Oh well, she tried.]

[Her hand hovers over Gai's stomach for a moment before instinct tells her to just touch. She slides her hand over his abs, and wow that's... what held her up against the waves.]

[Yeah, Gai may be a horny teenager, but Elizabeth's a horny twenty-year-old too. Muscles aside, Gai is fun, and smart, and kind. And gosh she missed him when she was trying to get her apartment straightened for Booker and Robert.]

[Oh--]

Is anyone-- [She kisses him again and tries to look up further on the beach.] --watching us? [Thinking is hard right now.]

[Elizabeth will no doubt feel him gasp slightly into that kiss as her hand makes contact with the bare skin of his abdomen and then just strokes, running over the muscles there. She's far from the first person to touch him like that - and to be honest, her touch is more gentle, more wondering than anything else - yet somehow in spite of its gentleness and inexperience it manages to stoke a flame in its wake unlike anything he's ever felt before. He can FEEL the hold on his control slipping even as he desperately scrabbles to maintain his clutch on it.

The momentary break in the kissing allows him to attempt to gather his thoughts and clear his head.]

I don't know. We could... we should go back to my apartment.

["If this is going to happen," is the unspoken ending of that sentence. Not here, not on the beach in the sand where people could see, and most importantly he doesn't have any sort of protection with him...]

[That was a stupid question to ask out loud. Clearly Gai doesn't know, he probably doesn't even know what Robert looks like. Elizabeth is just getting so paranoid about Booker finding her almost on top of Gai in a wet dress that was clinging to her in a borderline obscene way.]

We should, yes... [There's a hesitation in her voice though, as she pieces the rest of it out.] ...but Gai, I don't have any other clothes. [She sounds embarrassed and drops her voice to a whisper.] I'm not wearing a corset under this. [Or a chemise or drawers, but really, she could probably get home in some of Gai's clothing if she had to. It was the corset that really posed a problem. She couldn't just go... corsetless into the village.]

Besides... do you really want me to dry off on your couch? [Elizabeth gives him a wry smile and squeezes her sleeve--it's still retaining water. Clearly, she and Gai are not on the same page here. She isn't even thinking about undressing unless it's so she can get into something dry right after.]

[She's not wearing a...

... no, Gai. Gai. Stop. Of course she's naked under the suit, it's a bathing suit even if it does look odd, that doesn't mean you need to actually start THINKING about that fact...

And then he makes the horrible mistake of actually LOOKING at her and realizing that wow, he had no idea that such a thick fabric could cling like that, and she just said she wasn't wearing a corset underneath that and oh god he needs to stop his brain RIGHT NOW.

He doesn't even notice that she asked him a question, so focused is he on trying to stop the runaway hormone train that is currently his brain. Okay. Closing his eyes and taking deep breaths and thinking about anything and everything but Elizabeth and/or sex right now...]
