[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.]

It may count for something to someone, but until I get delicious, effort-free food out of it, that someone isn't me.

[jagermeister]

Effort-free, huh?

_{[He hums softly and moves a bit so he could prop himself up on his elbows.]}

I can go snag somethin' outta the woods if you're that hungry.

[dontyoujustwish]

At least on my part.

[She looks over at him, already leaning on hers.]

Out of the woods?

[jagermeister]

Isn't that why they have take-out?

Yeah. We got the grill over there and I know there's a few deer running around in there. I even snagged a bear the week before that last curse.

[dontyoujustwish]

You get tired of take-out.

...you're going to grill me an entire deer?

[jagermeister]

If you get the same thing every day, yeah.

Think you can eat one on your own? I can probably snag a runt if the bigger ones are too much.

[dontyoujustwish]

And the part where you have to go out and pick it up.

I think an entire deer would last me for weeks. But if you can put that away somewhere in your lack of innards, then we'll do just fine.

[jagermeister]

Delivery.

_{[That gets a grin.]}

You'd be surprised at how much I can eat. Hell, even what I used to eat before I got this body.

[dontyoujustwish]

Aren't souls a lot less, well, tangible than venison?

[jagermeister]

For the most part, but I used to eat my own kind though after souls quit sustaining me. Not all Hollow were small like I was.

_{[Well, small to other Hollow. He was about half the size of a human in his adjuchas form at the shoulder.]}

You remember that white panther I was turnin' into during that curse? When I looked human?

[dontyoujustwish]

Of course. That's when I found out you purr.

[jagermeister]

I don't purr.

_{[Yeah, he'll keep denying it even when he does it.]}

Picture that form, twice the size. That's how big I was before I got this body. Now take that size, multiply it by five or six and you've got an average Hollow in that class. I used to eat them. _{[He flashes a grin.]} Now if I couldn't eat a deer, I'd be pretty ashamed.

[dontyoujustwish]

Would it help if I told you it was sexy?

[She sits up, looking down at him and trying to imagine this.]

It must be like a black hole.

[jagermeister]

I ain't against a compliment, but I still don't purr.

Black hole?

[dontyoujustwish]

It's sexy that you purr.

[Take that how you will.]

A collapsed star with such intense gravity that it sucks everything nearby into itself.

[jagermeister]

I don't purr.

_{[First step, Grimmjow. First step.]}

...So you're callin' me a dead star.

[dontyoujustwish]

I'm only likening your stomach to a dead star.

[jagermeister]

...Just don't go calling me a glutton.

_{[He twists his body a bit to pop his back, then he sighs and slumps back onto the sand.]}

I'll bug Okumura for the grill and hunt for the deer when it cools off.

[dontyoujustwish]

I'm almost jealous.

[She doesn't respond to his plan except to stretch out again on her towel.]

Think of how much ice cream I could eat if my stomach were a black hole.

[jagermeister]

It's a pretty good perk. I don't even need to eat to survive here. I just do it because I can.

[dontyoujustwish]

So you only get to eat whatever you want, whenever you want to, and you never have to worry about your figure.

All right, I am jealous.

[jagermeister]

More or less, yeah.

_{[A grin.]}

Why?

[dontyoujustwish]

It takes work to look this good as a human, you know.

[jagermeister]

You look fine to me.

[dontyoujustwish]

Of course I do.
