September Mingle Log

[thalassino]

[The mingle party for this month is slightly delayed, and it certainly isn't because Station Master had decided to wait for the perfect weather.

Today, the party is taking place on the island, where there are locals stationed out on the beach who're more than happy to toss you a kite and show you how to fly one in this breezy day. There are plenty of kites to choose from, ranging from the simple to the pretty to the more tentacular.

Further out along the beach are rows and rows of surfboards, with a sign. With those sweet waves, doesn't it make you want to get out there and ride them? ...Well, even if you don't, some locals will be quite insistent you try and look they're even willing to show you the ropes!

Away from the waves, however, is an outdoor barbeque, with locals cooking shrimp prawns, fish, hot dogs, skewers... anything you want. There's something for everyone, and if you want to be the cook, they'll happily shove over and give you space to be the Iron Chef of the Beach.

...Actually the party's just an excuse for Station Master to show off his masterpiece]

Finny Fun

[thalassino]

[Surfing? Swimming? Sun bathing while watching others play in the sea? Make sure you have plenty of sunscreen on and enjoy yourself!]

OPEN

[augustpenguin]

[One of the newest residents is certainly dressed for swimming, but he's not actually in the water. Which is surprising, given how he arrived and how much he's gone on and on about his swimming club back home.

But given what happened earlier in the weekend, it's understandable why he's suddenly a little gunshy of the water surrounding the island.

Still, it's clear he wants to be out there. He's sitting in the sand near where the surfboards are in his jammers and a white and blue sports jacket with the word 'Iwatobi' across the back. Knees to his chest, a longing gaze directed at the water.

He's practically pouting.]

[msfabulosity]

[Rarity isn't overly fond of the water unless she's in a hot bath or she has a nice big float to use, but since there's a gathering of people up at the beach she figures she'll risk getting a little bit wet so she can socialize!

So after applying a liberal amount of sunscreen and setting up a nice decorative and purple beach blanket out for her to settle on, she puts on a pair of red sunglasses and approaches the water for someone to talk to. Ooh, there are so many pretty seashells here! She wonders if she can incorporate some of them into her dresses! Or perhaps even her jewelry!

For a while she's a little to distracted by all this to realize she's walking straight towards Nagisa, so suddenly she bumps into him with a small 'oof'.]

Oh! Terribly sorry, darling. I didn't see you there.

[She tilts her sunglasses down to get a better look at him. Oh? What's this?]

Darling, are you quite all right? Something seems to be on your mind!

[augustpenguin]

[If Nagisa had been in better spirits he would have been paying more attention. Not that it would have stopped him from getting bumped in to, but he would have realized it wasn't a person who had done the bumping.

Instead her question just earned a groan from the teen, face getting buried in his folded arms.]

I wanna go swimming! But... a monster attacked me yesterday... this place is so weird! I don't think I'll ever get used to it.

[msfabulosity]

A monster?

[Rarity perks up a little at that then sends a wary gaze towards the water.]

Y-you are certain there was a monster? What kind of monster?

[redboots]

Dude. Just go in already. Don't be a baby.

[Don't mind the chick in the giant oversized sunhat floating by you. She's just observing.]

[augustpenguin]

NO WAY! I'm not going back out there! I don't wanna die!

[He doesn't even notice that she's floating. Poor distressed shota...]

[redboots]

I can always bring you back to life if you die, it'll be fun.

[Marceline, no, don't encourage dying so you can necromance them back, bad vampire]

[420]

[Hope you don't mind the alien clown dropping down on the sand besides you there. He just had been wandering the beach and finding a motherfucker looking all do down in the dumps and dishearted just made Gamzee wanna cheer him the motherfuck up.]

That's some long motherfuckin' look what you got there. Wanna tell a motherfucker what's the haps?

[Who cares if they have never met before! Everybody is a potential friend.]

[augustpenguin]

[Nagisa is sure meeting a lot of trolls. At least this time he's slightly more prepared for it, and looking up at the speaker only gets a mildly surprised look rather than a shriek.

Karkat's ears must still be ringing after that meeting...]

I wanna go swimming! But I met a monster in there yesterday and now I'm not so sure I wanna go out again...

[420]

[Karkat's eardrums are trained from listening to his own screaming the whole day.]

A monster? I ain't ever got to meetin' any monster yet. What sort of monster are you speaking about specifically?

Open~

[flared]

[Warm weather and sunshine usually helps cheer Axel up, so after ditching his coat for a pair of simple black swim trunks, he heads up to the island and settles in on a spot not too far away from the water, but just far enough so the tide won't surprise him.

He's currently lying down on a beach blanket under an umbrella and from the looks of things he appears to be... taking a nap?

Clearly this is the perfect time to bother the hell out of him or something, you realize.]

[redboots]

[By drawing skeletons all over his skinny stomach? Marcy is up to the task, and armed with a sharpie. Now just don't wake up, Axel...]

[flared]

[Axel's a pretty heavy sleeper, but even though something like this would usually wake him up anyway he's still knocked out, too relaxed and too tired from lack of sleep lately to bother.

Lucky for her, ey.]

[redboots]

[TBH, she'd do it if he were awake too, if she could just get him to stop squirming.]

[Once she'd done drawing tentacles and skeletons all over his skinny little belly, she moves up to his face to incorporate his tattoos by using them as eyes in little =) faces on his cheeks.]

[coolerthansora]

[Oh look we're both shirtless this time.

I mean. Yeah, okay, Roxas is in swim trunks, too. Not that Axel is going to notice him at all while he's asleep.

Hope you don't mind your best friend partially burying you in sand and building up a castle around you. It's far from an artistic masterpiece, and how involved it gets depends on how long Axel takes to wake up, but there are definitely going to be some seashell-decorated turrets behind your head and on top of your feet.]

[flared]

[Axel stays fast asleep while Roxas messes around with him but at one point he shifts a bit under the sand and tries to lift his arm up to drape over his eyes. ... When he finds that he can't exactly do that he stirs a bit from his nap, fluttering his eyes open... then widening them once he realizes what the hell's going on.]

Huh?

[Wiggle wiggle looking around...]

Roxas, what the heck!?

[coolerthansora]

[Roxas pauses in shaping some sand above said arm and gives Axel a little grin. C'mon, you can't be mad at this face.]

Sorry. It was really tempting.

[coolerthansora]

[Roxas is a fan of most beach activities and could be persuaded to join in them. He's certainly prepared for a swim in his checker-trimmed white swim trunks, but left to his own devices, he's picking his way along the beach looking for seashells. It's been a while since he's added anything to his collection.]

[croceamors]

Roxas.

[Saix isn't exactly dressed for the beach, still in his black coat. In truth, he doesn't plan on staying up here long. But there's something he just wants to check up on..]

[coolerthansora]

[Roxas frowns at the voice, and is tempted to ignore it and keep walking. After a long moment of silence, he does stop what he's doing and glance over his shoulder.]

What do you want?

[croceamors]

Just a question. [Which he somewhat doubts you'll answer, but there's no harm in trying.]

Axel left last night, didn't he? I'm simply curious if he ever came back.

Open

[tu_cute]

[Nel is very excited about the beach!

She has on a bright pink ruffly bathing suit the exact same color as the stripe across her nose (she went around and held up suits to the stripe until she found one exactly right), and she's splashing around in the shallows. The bathing suit shows two unusual things about Nel, namely the tattoo on her back and the hole in the middle of her collarbone that goes all the way through her body. But she doesn't care about stuff like that, she's more interested in trying to catch some tiny fish that are trapped in a tidepool.]

I would apologize but i have no morals.

[420]

[See, what Gamzee had been wanting to do what come on over upon laying gander at her, greet her in a manner most jovial and chill with her a little. That was the plan he had in his brain when he slouched over to where she was in the shallows. That was also the plan that was completely and utterly eradicated from his mind the moment he saw that hole.

That--

woah

He comes closer, closer and closer, already raising one hand. It ain't polite or nothing, but man, like Gamzee can care about that when he got something all strange and weird in front of him like that. Holes just all hanging out in a motherfucker's husk, letting you peer through them like fuckin' windows without glass. That some fuckin' amazing shit.

And if she ain't gonna stop him, he'll squat behind her, hand stretched out and he's going to do it. He's going to make it happen. He's going to put a finger in her hole.]

Never apologize

[tu_cute]

[Nel freezes, then flails forward dramatically, running a few steps away from Gamzee before turning around to see who could be so rude.

Is she crying? She's crying. Gamzee look what you did.]
