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]

Ugh, yeah, it always is since they've started doing the concerts topside. But hey, so long as it's not direct contact.

[Shrug!]

The hat clashes with the dress, which sucks, but I can usually fling it off for my shows. They cover the stage.

[dontyoujustwish]

Huh.

[Rather less combustable than vampires she's familiar with.]

It's not awful. You couldn't find the hat in black?

[redboots]

Noooope. At least not in that particular store. I'll probably go digging through the stores later, see if their fashion sense has improved instead of sticking fish and sea shells onto everything.

[dontyoujustwish]

There are a few stores that don't run so much into the marine styles.

We could make a day of it.

[redboots]

Ooooh, I like the sound of that. I bet my girl Kanaya could point us in the right direction. She runs her own shop and stuff, pretty nice.

[dontyoujustwish]

Really? Do many people do that here?

[redboots]

Frick if I know. But Kanaya works it, seriously. Most fashionable alien vampire I ever met.

[dontyoujustwish]

Does she charge? Not that those starfish tokens are much like actual money, but if it's the closest thing we've got...

[redboots]

Yep. But I bet I can convince her to lower her prices a little.

[dontyoujustwish]

Oh, that's not why I asked, although haggling can be fun. I used to own a shop.

[redboots]

No joke? What kind?

[dontyoujustwish]

It was called the Magic Box. Crystal balls and candles for the unbelievers looking for knick-knacks, spellbooks and ingredients for the practicing witches.

[redboots]

Sounds wicked. You know a lot of witches, huh?

[dontyoujustwish]

They weren't always witches of much account, but they did make good customers.

[redboots]

Ha ha, niiice. I bet you and Kan could talk about a lot when it comes to getting money off of people. I definitely have to introduce you two.
