Party on the beach.

[sarah_branigan]

It's a beautiful, sunny day on the beach. The ocean is a shimmering blue, and there isn't a cloud in the sky. The sand is warm without scorching, and the water is a perfect temperature. In fact, it might be the most wonderful day, weatherwise, that the beach has ever seen (It probably helps that Sarah is close friends with the person who actually

June shows up wearing a cute little pink and red-ribboned bikini... over her usual blue polka-dotted outfit. She's also wearing a little white sunhat with red ribbons and a pink flower on it, and is carrying a large, clear baggie filled with star-shaped, multicolored, melt-in-your-mouth mints.

"Sarah! ♥ I brought you something!"

[sarah_branigan]

Sarah makes her way to June, not entirely awkwardly. "June! I'm so glad you could make it." She smiles warmly at her guest. "What are those? They're pretty."

[dr_schreber]

Schreber is two steps behind with his hands kind of out, just in case Sarah stumbles. He smiles at June. "Thank you! You didn't have to..."
A raven swoops around both their heads and lands on his shoulder and cocks its head at June.

"They're candies! I hope you like them! ♪"

June offers the bag to Sarah, while looking at the raven in clear delight. "Oh, what a pretty bird! ♥"

[sarah_branigan]

Sarah accepts the offered bag of candies, admiring them before passing them over to Daniel. "They look delicious. I'll put them out with the other snacks."

She looks up at the raven as well. "Oh, this is Orwell, Daniel's pet raven." She hopes Orwell will be on his best behavior -- June's sunhat has some tempting ribbons on it.

[dr_schreber]

Schreber pets his raven absently."He loves to be admired, and he likes women." That is better then saying Orwell does not like strange men. Not since Schreber got attacked. If Clio is around they'd better hope the kitten is on her best behavior too. "Can I get you anything to drink?"

[innocent_june]

"He's really pretty. His feathers are all nice and soft-looking! ♪" June floats over to get a better look, then looks at Schreber when he asks about drinks. "Umm... what do you have? Any fruit juice, maybe?"

[sarah_branigan]

Clio, unfortunately, is an indoor cat, and will not be making an appearance at the party. Sarah's bellsprout, however, is out and about, and seems to respond to the magic word of 'drinks', because here she comes, a choice of beverages balanced on a tray on her head. "Belle!" she chirps helpfully.

[dr_schreber]

"Oh, ah... well." He looks a little embarrassed and peers at the tray. "Yes, it looks like." He'll just let Belle take care of it then! Now Schreber feels superfluous.
Orwell watches the walking plant warily. At least he hasn't put any worms in the drinks! Yet.

[innocent_june]

Oh, yay! June floats down and shifts into her larger 'very young girl' size so she can pick out a drink easier. Taking a cup of juice, she then crouches so she can admire Belle.

"Pretty~~! ♪"

[sarah_branigan]

Sarah seems to notice June's outfit, now that she's a larger size. "Did you want to go swimming later?" she asks her. "I wonder if Ichigo will show up, too. She had been looking for a beach in the Nexus, a long time ago..."

She lets go of one of her braces and wraps her arm through Daniel's. She'll never admit it, but standing around on her own isn't easy.

Belle beams at the compliment! "Sprout," she replies happily.

[innocent_june]

"Ichigo?" She tilts her head, considering. "I haven't seen her around lately... But maybe she'll come by? That'd be really nice. We could all go swimming together!"

[sarah_branigan]

Sarah's not sure how to tell June that wearing a bikini over her outfit won't prevent her outfit from getting wet, but maybe water affects royal cousins differently. "It'd be nice to see her," she agrees. "Are you a good swimmer? Does your katamari float?"

[innocent_june]

June nods, beaming. "I'm a good swimmer! Marny and Shy are lots better, though. Shy's even won medals!" Tilting her head slightly to the other side, she adds, "Our katamaris don't really float, though if we're going fast enough, we can still get through the water pretty fast. But rolling when we're totally underwater's different. Then it's all bouncy and wavy and stuff."

[sarah_branigan]

"Can you--" Sarah starts to ask, before mentally smacking her forehead. Duh, of course June can breathe underwater, she can breathe in space. "Sounds like your family is full of good swimmers," she smiles. "I'm not too bad, but Daniel's quite good at it." She gives his arm a squeeze.

[dr_schreber]

Cue blushing! Schreber looks a little bashful but smiles. "I'm out of practice but I used to enjoy it."
