take a day off | open

[darkasnight]

Who: Night & Villa people (and anyone who wants to crash)
Where: The beach on the island.
When: Backdated to Friday (8-16)
Style: Action/Prose
Status: Open

[One of Night's favorite past times was going up to the island to do a number of things: hunt small wildlife, toss around in flowers, and sunbathe. The normal life of a cat, really.

But after a few recent events he feels like maybe coming up to the beach, not just by himself, but with everyone else, could be a good thing. Who didn't love being out in the sun all day?

Which is just what he does, leaving most everyone in the Villa a message asking them to join him at the beach Friday morning. It isn't a party only because he has no idea what to do or bring for a party, but the intent was to have fun and relax.]

Comments

[darkasnight]

[And then there is Night, dressed appropriately for fun in the sun- that being all he has on is a pair of swimming trunks and no shirt. His tail swings out behind him slowly, for once actually out instead of being tucked away like usual. There seem to be some growing tan lines across his arms and legs, but he doesn't mind them.

Overall he looks pretty happy being outside in the shining, hot sun.]

[keepsthefire]

[And here comes Rin, hauling two very large coolers full of food on his shoulders, wearing... the exact same shorts as Night.

He stops in front of the other demon, tilting his head to the side.]

Huh.

I won't fail this time.

[halfhearted]

[Vanitas' hair was flat thanks to swimming earlier, but it was fighting gravity already and trying to pop back up in place. He was just in a pair of blue swim trunks and his red dog tags.

Tail out means it's up for grabs, right?

Just going to reach out for it to try to grab it.]

[fourleafed]

[Yotsuba is not dressed for going in the water, and she was supposed to stay out of it. But when she sees Night's tail, she can't help but follow after Night to try to tug on his tail and make sure it is real.]

FOOD HERE

[keepsthefire]

[Some time after the initial set up is finished for the get together, Rin is behind a grill near some folding tables now decked with checkered plastic table cloths and other ready to eat food. He's donned an apron over his swim shorts, but hasn't really bothered with a shirt. It's... attractive, right?

He'll probably have some one take over later so he can actually enjoy the beach trip, but for now, FOOD!]

[diehardreaper]

[ Don't mind this guy coming up behind you then, Rin because the allure of grilled food is just too much to resist. ]

Wouldn't have some faggots in there, would you? A couple of decent bangers, maybe?

[fightforastar]

[Tifa is dressed for summer, but not the beach. She was just out for a jog when she saw the commotion and decided to investigate. She knows at least one of the probable culprits here so hopefully a brief interruption won't be minded. She doesn't mean to crash, she's just curious.]

What's the occasion?

[onebecametwo]

[ What? No Rin you are not attractive. You are an ugly buttface. Those burgers you are grilling on the otherhand... ]

Here man, you look thirsty.

[ Just casually handing you a beer and seeing if you'll drink it. ]

So are those things done yet? Can I have cheese on mine? You better give me the first one.

[jagermeister]

<sub>[Guess who wasn't too far away? This guy.

Even though the grill is going, it doesn't stop Grimmjow from reaching over Rin's shoulder to snag a hotdog with his fingers. Clearly no one taught him table manners.]</sub>

I'm takin' this one.

[halfhearted]

[The apron? Nah, he's seen more attractive aprons than that. Maybe he should hook him up with all the terribad ones.

Vanitas was just in swim trunks. Swimming and skulking about the island as per usual work out, but he noticed a couple of familiar faces and had to pest.

Hovering by food just because it was Rin.

Pointing to the squid.]

How does that taste? [He's not sure if he wants because he has heard stories of sea hags with tentacles.]

[tu_cute]

[So, Nel's kind of been hiding out on the island. Fewer weird people around, even if her brothers aren't here.

But she's curious, and so she's been sneaking around (and doing a pretty good job too). Rin's tail gets her attention and she sneaks out behind him, one hand stretched out curiously.

Then she grabs it.]

[heartandsoul]

[It's not attractive, Rin.

It's dorky.

But that's what she likes about him anyway.]

Hey! Doing all right over here? [She'd probably be one of those people that takes over for him, if nothing else for the fact that she's not much of a beach person.]

[unwrittenformula]

[Making laps around the island on Zekrom's back isn't anything new for N. He does it at least every other day to make sure the massive legendary dragon gets out of his Pokeball and gets some exercise.

But today as he's making his way around, a glance down shows him that there's something interesting going on, on one side of the island. A get together of some sort.

He doesn't want to actually crash the party, but he does want a closer look, so he guides Zekrom to land some distance away, hopefully with minimal damage to any towels or table cloths with the sand Zekrom's wings and turbines kick up.]

[spiria]

[ Well of course, she's here because Rin obviously told her about this party. And well, she obviously needed some time to relax.

Of course, Zekrom couldn't land without SOME notice that he was there. So when she heard him land, she immediately went looking for him. It doesn't take long for her to find what she's looking for, and-- ]

Holy--!!

[ She instantly takes a fighting stance, prepared to fight the monster. THAT'S A BIG DRAGON, YO. ]

[heartandsoul]

[...............Hey, what's with the sudden shadow, she's trying to r--

Oh.

Ohhh, that's a big dragon.

Yet somehow Maka's only reaction is to stand up, still staring, and hold her hand up in a greeting. It's a Pokemon, right? Must be. Then again it has turbines.]

[proudsister]

[ This? This was the perfect thing Liz needed after waking up from a month-long nap, and was something she'd been wanting to do since before she fell asleep. She even had her suit all picked out and everything, she just never wanted to go up and hang out on the island by herself. It was outside and there were bugs and going to the beach alone was lame, anyway.

But now that it was a group thing, she was more than excited about it.

She brought up a rather large beach blanket with her, big enough to accommodate a couple people, as well as suntan lotion and an umbrella. She got everything set up for herself, making sure the umbrella covered a portion of the blanket for anyone who didn't want to lay directly in the sun. Liz herself sat on the side of the blanket under the warm rays and proceeded to rub the lotion onto her body.

She was gonna get so tan. ]

[darkasnight]

[There's a tall shadow coming over her from behind-

and it offers her a cold soda drink.]

Thirsty? [Night smiles, his tail swaying slowly behind him.]

[demonicdiabetes]

[ A sudden stream of people going to the island is more than enough to catch this guy's attention, because, through his logic, if humans have to travel together to a place and remain there for a certain time, there's bound to be food. Were it not for his brother's intervention, he'd be fully clothed, though, but alas, tackiness will always be bound to his image so long as he hangs by Mephisto's side. Which will be forever. ]

[ Anyone who spots him might find him either stalking the grill, hunting for fruit, or perhaps looking for fish. Or, if they're really lucky, they might come across him making a rather elaborate sand sculpture of his brother. Because sand totally counts as earth and he just so happens to be the king of it. ]

[darkasnight]

[What are those shorts he's wearing...

It's a little weird for him to see the King of Earth building sand castles, but he's sure it could be worse.

Although he's starting to regret having his tail out right now, if Amaimon was here.

He holds out a (wrapped) popsicle to him.] What are you making?

[doctor_dragoon]

[Yukio's used to spending his mornings on the island getting beat up sparring with Night, so the idea of a simple gathering (while not a favorite way to spend his time) is far preferable. He's a bit overdressed for the beach in shorts, a t-shirt, and sandals, but he's found a nice sized rock to perch on. He's even got a boring looking book in one hand.

It's all very Yukio.]

[keepsthefire]

Oi.

[Like you were gonna get away from your brother for very long. Silly Yukio.]

If you're gonna be all borin' and read a book, 'least you can do is have some food.

water gun fight

[darkasnight]

[Someone brought water guns.

Guess that means go wild and destroy anyone who refuses to get in the water.

Victims beware.]

oh nooooo

[jagermeister]

<sub>[How about an easy target sitting on the shoreline, Night?

He's been up on the island all day and he hasn't set foot in the ocean once. It's not as if Grimmjow doesn't know how to swim or anything like that!

He can swim just fine!




...Okay, maybe he'd be the type to sink like a rock as soon as he went out too far. Hueco Mundo never had any oceans okay don't judge.]</sub>

Demons in Beach Chairs!

[pierrotdemonique]

[ So there are two demons in beach chairs. One is a decisively fancy looking gent in a pink robe with a floating cocktail-in-a-coconut complete with tiny umbrella. He seems content enough, shielded from the sun and enjoying his drink though.

His "companion" so to speak is in a separate beach chair, an equally content red-skinned thing in a barely there black swimsuit that looks part one-piece, part bondage suit. Compared to Mephisto, Scanty is perfectly content in the sun, stretched out on her back like a cat getting a good sun bath.

Clearly these two are hanging out out of necessity.

After a long sleep coma, lounging out in the sun is clearly the perfect thing for a demon to get back to their spirits. Dare to bother them? ]





[ ooc: for organization's sake, I'm throwing Mephisto and Scanty in the same tag. Just toss up who you want in the subject line. ]

mephisto

[darkasnight]

[Might be plucking that mini-umbrella outta his drink and twirling it between two fingers.]

So you aren't allergic to sun like I thought. Huh.

[jagermeister]

<sub>[Under normal circumstances, Grimmjow would have more than likely steered clear of the celebrations occurring on the island today. The only thing that convinced him otherwise? One, this was another chance to pester Okumura (and the rest of his family), and two, an excuse to continue watching how humans (half or otherwise) interacted out of sheer curiosity.

Well, that and he couldn't concentrate very well with the noise so close to his home.

He wasn't about to let that stop him from making himself comfortable on the beach though! He can be found not too far from the shoreline sprawled out on his back with one arm thrown over his face in a manner similar to a large cat sunbathing. For once, he's even dressed in a normal pair of shorts. If it weren't for the hole in his stomach and the bone fragments on his face, he might've even passed off as an ordinary human.

No shirt, no shoes, no problem.]</sub>

[dontyoujustwish]

[Nothing she hasn't seen before, but a girl likes to look. Even with the arm over his face, Grimmjow might notice something suddenly blocking the sunlight. That something being Anya in a fetching black bikini and carrying a towel.]

I didn't expect to see you here.

[paladaddy]

[Shiro is always up for a beach party! But nowadays he spends more of his time on the beach than in the water. He's got a chair set up and an umbrella over him, and he's lounging about in it while everyone else does their own thing.

Yes, even at the beach he is lazy.]

[darkasnight]

[There is a (very) wet and displeased looking cat hoping up on the edge of Shiro's chair.]

[heartandsoul]

[Going to the beach means just chilling out and reading, right?

Because that's what Maka's doing, sure she was convinced to come up here but that didn't mean she was going to come sans books. There's a generous pile next to her, she could practically make a fortress.

Of course that's not the only thing piled next to her, Pip--still the playful hunter that she is despite evolving--darts to and from the beach to bring Maka back seashells. Good prey, stay still and be presented as a gift for Mom.

Except one that starts crawling off without her noticing and Pip batting at it. Pip, that's a hermit crab, leave it alone.]

[fourleafed]

[Books are not allowed on the beach you hethan.

Yotsuba is going to crash the party by peeking over the top of Maka's book.]

Whatcha' reading?

[spacecase]

[...And then there's Jade actually legitimately enjoying being at the beach. What the hell, she grew up on an island, of course she's going to enjoy some beach time, especially if it affords the opportunity to make a new outfit--in this case a simple black bikini with her Space symbol on it.

Right now she's trying to tie up her hair before going anywhere near the water, space magic aiding in this endeavor of Ridiculous Amounts of Harley Hair. A water gun (stolen) from Night sits placidly next to her.

First person to ask if she went skinny dipping on the island gets drubbed with it that's gross man there's all kinds of parasites in that water]

[secondcoolest]

Hold on, you're missing a bunch of it in the back.

[ Bon was a little delayed in his arrival. He'd had to pick up a few things before coming up (like, oh, swimming trunks. sun block. a blanket. umbrella...), after all. He sets the basket of things down before stabbing the umbrella into the sand, lays on the blanket, and finally turns toward her.

He's just going to casually take the hair tie from her hand before starting to work at gathering all of her hair. ]
