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! ]

[Fox smiles. He doesn't think these things are dangerous, but that doesn't mean people should go bothering them...]

Well I'm sure that prodding it is going to set it at ease.

Bioluminescence. Most deep sea life is capable of it, you know. It's rather less common with land animals, but that is simply how things are. The ocean is very much different from the land. Some use it as camoflauge, others use it as a means of attracting mates or to defend themselves from predators. They even use it for communication.

You said you lived in the desert, so you should have been able to witness it yourself, as certain types of scorpions- or those closely related to them- can also display this truly fascinating ability. I've heard rumors of seadwellers being capable of it to some degree, depending on the individual, but I've never really found it proper to ask.

[Wait he is talking too much to Signless, time to shut up now.]

[devwocean]

[He blinks in surprise, then turns thoughtful] Mindfang's got a wwreck she's turned into her hivve, but I hadn't thought there wwere any seawworthy ships. It's a good idea.

[aim_exorable]

[A rather horse-like snort.]

I have no idea what you are talking about.

[devwocean]

[He drains his own flute and sets it aside, then holds out his hand]

And are you not prim an proper enough, then? Or can I havve a dance?

[knightofthesky]

[...Is that a dog? It's got some odd markings and stuff, but it sure looks like one. It's absolutely adorable and Link is having a hard time resisting the urge to pick it up. Instead, he bends down and whistles.]

Hey, puppy, you probably shouldn't be doing that. Come 'ere.

[longwinded]

[Nope, John is joining you, looking over the railing. He can't leave his best bro hanging or alone! That would be awful of him. But this dancing for irony thing is going to happen

They will dance and it will be glorious.]

Everything okay?

[thekidsare0kay]

[It's so frickin' fragile. Sollux jerks back a little in surprise, then looks closer. It's so weird looking. He lifts a finger and pokes it with the tip of a claw, and it wobbles]

It's probably dead because you pulled it out of the water.

[knightime]

Everything is fine. Peaches. Cookies n' cream. The sun is so fucking happy I'm on a one way, completely paid trip, to looking like a lobster in like the next ten minutes.

[You totes didn't see the conversation with Feferi right? Right. He's not worried about anything. Shush.]

[thekidsare0kay]

You were being totally standoffish and telling me to see Equius. But the minute I mentioned Psiioniic, you offered to do anything I wanted.

[flammatory]

Yeah, good to meet the whiny, entitled blind one, [he shoots back sarcastically, more out of habit than anything. The fact that their previous conversation ended with them being relatively friendly means Zuko feels free to bitch right back.]

Not interested in the party, either?

[tsundyne]

[Having been quite impressed with the sights so far, Yukari decides her chances and explores this boat that's apparently been docked nearby. She approaches Serph with a smile still lingering on her face, and peers to see what he's up to, so close to the railing like that.]

Hey!

...What're you doing? [Why's he messing with a balloon though...]

Almost posted with the wrong account :P

[mylittledoormat]

And the water! It's glowing so brightly!

[The amazing colors and the lovely image of the huge boat docked offshore just makes this evening a magical one, that's for sure. Joy seems to just flow off of the pony in waves.]

[flammatory]

[Learning about the cannibalism would provoke some extreme flailing from Zuko, so it's probably just as well they aren't talking about that.]

... Yeah, I am. How couldn't I be homesick? I'm the only one here. Every person I come across needs an explanation on what firebending is. I feel like I'm in a dream.

[tsundyne]

Isn't it, though?

[Yukari comes up behind him, having been pleasantly surprised by the locals' efforts. She'd never expected to see anything like this on the shore.]

[ravenly]

[Did somebody say dancing?

...Well, Rue's not really in the mood for that at the moment, still rather stunned by the sights of what the locals have done. She's found her way onto the boat and is peering out at the shore, her hands resting on the railing.]

haha i get so weirded out when i do that

[flammatory]

[Zuko had forgotten exactly how cheerful she was in the time since talking to her. Sigh.]

Nature is beautiful, I get it. What have you been doing since you got here? [Abrupt subject change clearly needs to happen. Even if he really should've been asking how she's been doing, not what.]

[thekidsare0kay]

[Sollux just laughs, not offended.] I'm not blind anymore, though.

Nah, parties are lame. [Actually he just is afraid of being out on the ocean. Or too close to the water. Dangerous sea dwellers are in the ocean, you know]

[aim_exorable]

I simply thought that you and Equius had an agreement already and that my presence was unneeded. However, upon consideration on why others would suggest my work, I decided otherwise.

Also, you are exaggerating.

Open!

[scaresplants]

[There's a sharply-dressed man standing near the table, sipping his (suddenly more expensive and decidedly more alcohol-filled) glass of champagne.]

[He looks like he's in a good mood. Approach?]

[tsundyne]

[Don't mind her, Chibi.

She's just going to stare at you and wonder how long it'll take you to notice her. She doesn't want to interrupt your work, after all!

They're very pretty, aren't they?]

[o8liter8]

Am I playing your arm candy again tonight, then?

[ She sets the glass aside, placing her hand in his. ]

[mylittledoormat]

[Suddenly a cream colored pegasus moves to hover a few feet in front of the boy, small wings flapping slow and in a way that flying should totally not be possible. Let's be awkward together! :3]

Hello!

[flammatory]

If we're going with initial impressions, that's what you get.

[Zuko couldn't care less about the ocean when he's on top of it, as long as he isn't underneath it. He's just antisocial.] I was thinking about getting some food, but everyone looks so... happy. [And clearly he doesn't want to be around happy.]

[tsundyne]

[Yukari spots him near the food and is quickly approaching--since, y'know, she's actually a little hungry herself. He doesn't look too happy, but--

Then again, he rarely ever does.]

...How is it?

[y'know. the food]
