so about that flyer...

[thalassino]

[ there's a bit of a commotion tonight, and many locals are talking about something happening up on the island. anyone curious enough to check it out would first notice a glowing shore to match a starry sky; it seems to be a type of jellyfish causing this.

immediately afterward they would undoubtedly see a very large boat having apparently docked itself on the shore. there's no captain in sight and it appears to be completely inoperable, so it's a full-blown mystery on how it arrived on the shore. it certainly doesn't look like a normal boat though— probably due to the fact that it is utterly decked out for a party.

there are streamers, balloons, and a whole lot of glitter on deck. there's even a large banner that reads:

☆ HAVE FUN!!! ☆

on deck there are speakers blasting a nautical-style party music should dancing be your thing. nearby there's plenty of good food for the eating, along with a gratuitous amount of chapagne (with a non-alcoholic brand for the underage); a champagne tower can also be seen. party games are encouraged, and a few are even already set up (such as the large whale-themed piñata).

have fun, mingle, and enjoy the party! ]

[ She was quiet for several moments, trying to think of how to explain such a thing. Finally, she responds. ]

Our world was on the verge of being destroyed by something that had been sealed away for a long, long time. We called it the Adephagos.

[ The way she said it sounded like it was something out of a fairy tale; rest assured, however. It was very real. And very frightening. ]

[chosen_gigolo]

[He sets a leisurely pace, meandering among the glowing jellyfish and bits of kelp as they walk. Why exactly had be brought up his childhood? Ah, well, it's not that big of a deal.]

Mm. Mostly fiction. I liked fairy tales, actually, though I'm not as keen on them now. You know, the kind with daring adventures and stuff.

[He smiles a little bit at the memory, all the escapist literature he'd devoured as a child, books meant for people twice his age full of dragons and knights, secret plots and intrigue. Books where good always won and evil was always thwarted. Books of epic journeys, travels out into the world with heroes free of attachments, beholden to no one.

Of course, he'd learned the world didn't really work like that, but it was nice to remember a time when he could hope that it did.]

What about you?

[oursomalink]

In a way, yeah! We've helped people heal from their emotional wounds on our journey.

[And Shing is oblivious to the information flying over her head. Oops?]

[oursomalink]

Good, I'm looking forward to it.

[Obviously this is going to be hideous. In a good way.]

[bombtossing]

[Yeah, it's weird.

It's not something she really likes.]

No, I mean the jellyfish in the bathroom. [She is. Very sarcastic, okay.] Yes, the ones by the shore!

[needsmoregreen]

That sounds so cool! I wish I could do something like that!

[oneechan]

Superhero? [Like that Kamen Yaiba the kids always watched?] Like on television?

[kissedgoldfrog]

[Yeah, just like sentai.]

Yeah, like that.

[oneechan]

Great job! [Ran sets the boy down.] Hurry up! Scoop it all up before someone comes in to snatch it!!

[hypervision]

Okay, Onee-chan! [Gonna be trying to scoop up that candy as quick as possible, apparently not at all hindered by his handpuppets that are covering up his hands.]

[innocentgear]

Am I? I think you're just a good teacher.

[closedcircuit]

I doubt it. I've never taught anyone before.

[clairvoyancies]

I'm honestly not sure...

[She's staring at the turtle now, smoothing over the area that would be its shell with her hand as she contemplates. She wasn't even going to think about this, but it seems unfair to leave him with the work.]

Er, but you don't have to do it, of course.

[It was just an idea.]

[clairvoyancies]

[Oh, screw you, too, bitch.

Sarcasm totally not even necessary; she was being almost civil, too. She's getting up then, with that piece of information.]

Fine. Then I'll go find him.

[and leave you, BYE]

[f8tal]

[sfhdged] What- Is that from one of your books?

[She takes it without thinking, almost completely focused on Kanaya at the moment. She only briefly looks at the glass again.]

Oh, uh... Sure? [She chugs it down, repressing a small cough as she does so. While the taste was horrible the warm fuzzy feelings that came after were somewhat enjoyable.] What can you drink?

[sylphauxiliatrix]

Maaaaaaaaybe. [Wow, Kanaya's voice is starting to sound a little strange. Normally she's so precise with her diction, but she certainly drew out that vowel for quite a while there. ]

[They're below the deck now, inside the ship in some barely lit and thankfully abandoned hallway. Kanaya provides more than enough light for the two of them to avoid tripping on bulkheads or hitting their heads of pipes.]

Well... There's not much at all that I can eat or drink now. Just one thing. Would you like me to show you?

[Kanaya starts moving awfully close to Vriska, closing the distance so slowly...]

[messianic]

[...heh. He tilts his head, listening to it more, nodding a little to the beat as he pulls his hands from his pockets.]

It sounds like something you could dance to.

[innocentgear]

_{[she seems to be a little surprised.]}

...Really?

[closedcircuit]

Mmm hmm.

So we're both doing something for the first time.

[hypervision]

No no, it's okay! Making up names can be fun! [That's how he chooses to look at it for now anyway, rather than commenting on how extremely pointless it is to name a pile of sand...] ...Maybe something like "Kame-san" could work...

[...Except kame = turtle..so that name pretty much means "Turtle-san". Whoops. Though it's probably to be expected that they wouldn't be that creative of a name coming from a four year old...]

[oneechan]

Did you want some help? [Those sock puppets don't look very efficient.]

[tsundyne]

[Ah...

She looks a bit amused at the thought, because it's not every day she gets to see Minato dance. She's going to be bold here, though--

Since no one else is around to hear anyway.]

Do you want to?

I hope you don't mind a really late tag orz

[goldenflint]

All right! I'm coming.

[Mami follows the little pup back to the edge of the beach, looking over to the jellies.]

[She looks over to Chibi.] What do we need to do, little one?

[hypervision]

No, it's okay, I can get it! [They probably aren't that efficient at all, but he still diligently tries his best at scooping up the candy rather than removing the puppets from his hands.]

[bombtossing]

[Yeah, well...civil isn't exactly in Minene's vocabulary, here.]

Good luck, or something.

[She'll just. Sit here and keep drinking.]
