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]

Open~

[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.]

[flared]

[Tentacles. Why would you ever put tentacles there.

Axel stays still throughout this entire process but when he feels something touching his face he does move a bit, wrinkling his nose then bringing a hand up to rub at his cheek. Ugh, what the hell is that?]

[redboots]

[...Reasons. Also, you're welcome, they're totally leading up from your groin area.]

[Marceline pulls back as Axel reacts, stifling either a gasp or a cackle as Axel smears the marker on his cheek. Oh no! Her hard work, now a blur of black!]

[flared]

[WHY.

Axel rubs his face a little more... but when he hears a little voice nearby he pauses and slowly opens is eyes, grumbling a bit incoherently.]

[redboots]

[Whoops~]

[Marceline just grins at Axel as he wakes up.]

Hi.

[flared]

[He blinks as he registers just what the hell is going on... then he sees who's next to him and groans, shutting his eyes again. He hasn't let seen the mess she' left on him. Thankfully.]

What d'you want?

[redboots]

Oh, I'm just hanging around, don't mind me. Have a nice cat nap?

[flared]

Mmph. Yeah, sort of.

[He stretches out a bit, still keeping his eyes shut.]

Wouldn't you rather be swimming or something rather than hangin' out here?

[redboots]

Nah, can't right now. Sun's still up.

[flared]

What's wrong with a little sun?

[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.

[flared]

[Ugh! He can't even move too much right now, thanks. The surprised look on Axel's face turns into one of simple annoyance now, his eyes narrowing as he stares at his best friend.]

Just you wait 'til I get out of here...

[coolerthansora]

[Roxas sits back, looking over his handiwork.]

Is it gonna be long enough for me to grab a camera?

[flared]

No, you little--!

[Axel squirms, disturbing the sand a little as he tries to wiggle his way out.]

Ugh. You'd better not.

[coolerthansora]

I gotta get something before you mess it all up.

[He grins wider. Whoops, let him just disappear through a portal real quick and return with Axel's camera.]

[flared]

What? Hey!

[Suddenly that Portal opens up and Axel panics, wriggling harder and disturbing the sand a bit as he frantically frees himself. But Roxas comes back pretty quickly... and with his own camera, too. Dammit!]

Roxas, I swear!

[coolerthansora]

I'm only taking one and I won't show anybody.

[Say cheese~]

[flared]

[Oh my god, you're so rude.

Axel struggles and finally manages to pull himself mostly free from the sand, but not soon enough. Looks like Roxas already managed to snap a photo. Grumbling, he shakes sand out of his hair and grabs a chunk of it to toss in Roxas' direction.]

Man, I can't leave you alone for one second.

[coolerthansora]

[Roxas attempts to duck it, but the clump sort of clips his head. Sand gets stuck in his head and sprays down his back. He gives himself a shake to try to get most of it off.]

Come on. If you found me totally asleep out here, you wouldn't've done anything?

[flared]

[Hah! Got you, sucker. Axel actually manages to grin when he watches the sand hit Roxas and even snickers to himself.]

I so would've left you to sleep like a little baby the whole time. Honest.
