Above the Beach party

[sliceitwithwind]

The waves are righteous (or if not III and IX will correct it soon enough), the sun is brilliant in the bright blue sky, and the layers of the party can best be defined as "in the water", "above the water" and "using the wind to get from one to the other

Arrival

[sliceitwithwind]

Space bends, and they are there.

Forgive Xaldin - he's just going to hang in the air and scream for a moment.

Re: Arrival

[burbonmilkshake]

Faye's screaming too, shaking all over.

"Holy Christ I don't know if I want to do that again what the fuck!" she yells.

Re: Arrival

[soulkeepersong]

We were upside down.

I flared my wings wide to keep myself from falling...only to find I wasn't.

"This is different," I said after a moment, looking up at the ground. "Are you recovered?" I asked of our guide and the female Gedri.

Re: Arrival

[ostro_goth]

Teja arrives with the others, holding on to Tonio.

The transition was truly dizzying!

"What is this world?" he asks, amazed.

[[OOC: Tonio godded in as by agreement with his mun -- he will thread later, when the mun is back!]]

Food

[sliceitwithwind]

Tables hang in the sky, upside down. Of course everything is upside down, so the food on them doesn't so much as consider hitting sand.

Re: Food

[burbonmilkshake]

Faye wanders toward the tables, and snags a seat nearby. She's not one for swimming, but she'll try to surf later on, just to see what it's like.

She watches the crowd, smiling a little.

At some point after making the waves wave-like and stilling the still water, Demyx crawls out from the tides to snag himself a cream soda and park himself down on the beach. Only then does he bother taking off his coat, though considering that still leaves him in the boots, pants and gloves it makes little difference.

Taking a 10, then back to water.

Re: Food

[gorgonfondness]

Mia is over at the food, sipping a To Mia.

It's good, but she doesn't plan to overdo it.

When she sees Demyx, she gladly puts her drink down.

"Hello Demyx. How are you?"

Surfing

[sliceitwithwind]

They brought surfboards for those who don't have their own.

Even one for the dragon.

Re: Surfing

[sliceitwithwind]

Unless you're Demyx having that much leather on and surfing is not fun. When Xaldin is ready to surf he shimmies out of the black coat, boots, and hakama, as well as his brilliantly neon green socks. It leaves him in Hawaiian print trunks with piercings showing.

He's no Xigbar, but Xaldin has a couple of fairly nasty scars. The man he was got them pierced a long time ago, so he's got a dangling Soldier earring from the one that wraps around his ribs, and a couple of rings in the one on the right side of his stomach. He feels they compliment the Slayer earring in his left nipple quite well.

And they're extra bonuses in case there is another confrontation in the bar. Some people have security blankets, Xaldin has security piercings.

His lances make his board, much easier to deal with than anything else, ever, for him and he heads into the water with the ease of long practice.

Re: Surfing

[thinkitwithguns]

Xaldin's good, but Xigbar's still better, even if he doesn't have a cheaterboard.

He'll ask about the green socks later.

Re: Surfing

[sliceitwithwind]

Xaldin grins at Xigbar when he joins the surfing, "I think we can count the party a success."

Being Air means that the wind never steals your words.

Swimming

[sliceitwithwind]

There is a calm patch for standard swimming as well.

Re: Swimming

[alt_hulk]

"Oh, awesome!" It's been a while since Teddy's been in the water, due to one thing or another. He looks back at Billy, who's still on the beach. "Come on, Billy!"

His glittering heart belly ring shines in the sun. It is his one vice.

Re: Swimming

[bluespells]

Billy follows him, grinning and wading into the water. He's not much of a swimmer, but he knows Teddy loves the water.

Re: Swimming

[alt_hulk]

Or he did love the water, before he learned about his shapeshifting. Something like that can cut a swimming career short pretty quickly.

Teddy flops on his back, swimming out slowly while Billy catches up, admiring the clouds.

Re: Frisbee

[harmitwithspark]

After the water logged fun that was battle surfing, and the rampage that was tag around the food tables Larxene had her girls gathered together on the beach. An actual game this time, Frisbee.

Or several games of Frisbee all mashed together and running through each other. The rules seemed to be 'catch a Frisbee run then throw or get dog piled'.

There wasn't enough room on the beach to get up to their customary speeds, so it was possible for a Somebody to keep up as long as they knew the rule!

Re: Frisbee

[magic_ferret]

Observation is key.

Unfortunately, Yunno is locked out.

He will start on the outside and work in as he can.

Hopefully.

Re: Frisbee

[harmitwithspark]

Observation only got one so far...as it the game was a confusing mill of frisbees and jumping, running women. Women who seemed not at all loathe to use each other as springboards...

In Yunno's case though he'd probably end up a hurdle as he waded in. They were good at not hitting each other unless there was a point to it.

It wasn't long before Larxene noticed the new comer. "Need a hand?" she laughed as she dodged toward him.

Re: Frisbee

[magic_ferret]

There's more than one way to make space around yourself. Yunno takes the easiest one.

"Thanks, let me just try something first."

He folds down to ferret shape and blatantly abuses the ability to fly under his own power to pop out the the majority of the scrum.

"The tricky part is going to be throwing a frisbee like this."
