Who: Pep & Friends
Where: By the bay at a beach (Odaiba)
When: Day 270, Afternoon

Glacies Nox Fleuret: We have had a difficult time lately, have we not? Let us relax while we are able for a moment.
Gladio: Bring sunblock. I’m only sayin’ it once.

[Whenever Peps and anyone they invite along arrive at the location sent over Discord, they will find a nice area set up for a day of beach fun. A tent and umbrellas have been set up for shade along with towels and folding chairs spread out. Near a boombox with the chillest idol music that could be found, there is a cooler with drinks of all varieties, alcoholic and not, along with a few watermelons and conbini sandwiches. Closer to the shore, there are floats, hand shovels and buckets. Do you want to build a sand castle~?]

[[Poke your favorite pep if you aren’t sure if your character would get an invite. Otherwise, chill beach party go!]]

[Gladio's chillin' on a towel, shirtless (obviously) in swim trunks, nursing a beer. Is that faint strains of Cake by the Ocean on the radio?]

... s'pretty nice for a fake beach in Hell.

[tenebraecious]

I am grateful for these comforts whilst we are here.

[considering him a little, demon tail...]

[tenebraecious]

[hello, glacies is still cute?? and also finally taking a break from tending to all the plants around Tokyo-F, digging her toes into the sand and watching the waves come in]

[we_meet_again]

[After a nice long swim, he wanders over to look at the scenery with her. He is not nearly as cute as she is, especially with an unnoticed clump of seaweed tangled around one antler.]

This is a nice change of pace.

[justfuckingtryit]

...this was a good idea.

[worldlyafflictions]

((outfit))

[Sitting in a floaty on the water]

Somebody throw me a drink!

[send_noods]

[Grabbing a pink juicebox to match your outfit... Gladio didn't look at the flavor. Tosses it to you in a perfect arc]

Yo incoming!

[tenebraecious]

[laughs]

You've wasted no time!

[romanticlove]

[Ren is taking refuge under the tent, a bag of blood in her hand and her cellphone in her lap. Occasionally she can't help but yawn. Luckily the only side effect of prolonged sunlight exposure was becoming tired. It was better than bursting into flames, she supposes.]

This was a great idea! Should we invite more people from the other units?

[send_noods]

[walking up to your tent and dropping off an umbrella]

Here, if you wanna walk around later.

Invite whoever you want, sure. I only know you guys and like, four other people, can't help with the numbers.

[searingedgelord]

[Silk was invited by Senpai and will show up at some point dressed like this.

She is bad at socializing, so right now she is quietly judging the conbini sandwiches and muttering to herself]

...Maybe I should have brought something.

[send_noods]

Guess we could've made stuff, but it's a lazy day.

[mind_blown]

[invited by glacies-- and honestly, he's just gonna show up with a bottle of water. and wearing these trunks with a distressed version of this hoodie.

and a red cap. y'know. why not.]

Yo.

[send_noods]

[huh new person. Nods in greetin]

'Sup.

[we_meet_again]

[Cobalt's out on the sand, inflating various large pool floats with an electric air pump. It's slow going, but he's getting there.]

[send_noods]

[oh my god]

Holy shit are these all yours?

[letgrow]

[Has managed to locate an appropriately lilis swimsuit and is hunkering down to build a little sand castle]

[wonderlandgirl]

Ah, Camellia-chan, is it okay if I join in?

[wonderlandgirl]

[So it turns out you can in fact buy sailor collar bikinis.

[The ends of Wednesday's hair is damp, and she is lying on a towel sunbathing, if someone who has covered themselves in Idol-Strength God-Forbid-You-Get-A-Contractually-Forbidden-Tan Sunblock can be said to be 'sunbathing'. She's enjoying the warm weather and the sea breeze, though, and that probably counts for something.]

It's sort of like having a private beach, isn't it?

[send_noods]

An unexpected bonus for sure.

You look cute. Very on theme.

[sorry ^^; You'll get used to his lack of clothes at some point i swear]

[justfuckingtryit]

[He shows up a little late, despite the early invite from Cobalt. He's not exactly in beachwear, but he did bring oatmeal chocolate chip cookies on a plate covered with aluminum foil]

...I miss anything?

[send_noods]

[Is currently building a campfire so Silk can make us kebabs]

Pink fell off his floaty trying to catch a juicebox, but that's pretty much it.

[nohalation]

[Angel is stopping by, still in full regular clothing, carrying her pet chicken under one arm, and a bag of candy under the other. She got an invite from Senpai!]

Hello, everyone!

[send_noods]

[... chocobo chick?!]

Hey, Angel.

[waves and then points to birb]

Who's this?

[crossmyheartandhope]

[Shows up after getting an invite from Gladio, in a wetsuit that's long sleeves and shorts. If anyone is especially eagle-eyed, they might notice that he's got a different prosthetic on]

[He's also brought a metric ton of deviled eggs]

Man, it's about time we did a beach thing. S'been like forever.

[send_noods]

[eyes those deviled eggs]

You didn't have to bring anything.

But your efforts are very appreciated.

[forgottenmercy]

[was invited by Senpai. shows up with his own parasol and a book, dressed like this, and is very much sticking to the shade and nowhere near the sun. even with the sunblock.]

Ah, hello...

[tenebraecious]

[whoa . . . !!]

Welcome. I am glad you were able to come.

[gigadevilbreaker]

[Nero was invited by Cobalt, and even bought a new pair of swim trunks for the occasion but... well, the most he's gone into the water is some wading around, up to his knees.

And he's already starting to burn!]

[send_noods]

[... Ponders offering sunblock.

One one hand, sunburns suck. One the other, Gladio told these fools to bring sunblock. ]

[hissterics]

[ She shows up thanks to whichever pep invites her, but it quickly becomes clear she's never actually come to the beach before?

She walks across the sand like a dog wearing shoes for the first time and not enjoying it, and stares mistrustfully at anyone actually going in the water. ]

This is a "party"?

[tenebraecious]

[oh no, our cat]

Yes, in a sense. A chance to relax for those in need.

[iamverybadass]

[ At some point, Talon's shown up and picked out a patch of sand to sprawl out atop a towel on. His breath's still pretty smoky, so he's making sure to stay downwind of the rest of the group ]

Did anyone think to bring ice cream?

[tenebraecious]

I do not think so, but it would be a short trip to acquire some.

more normal party tagging will happen, but FIRST—

[soulcarve]

[ Hellfire doesn’t make it until late afternoon, and she’s just in normal BAD END clothes, though she also elected to “problem solve” by leaving her tights and boots at home and coming here barefoot. Nailed it. ]

Hhhhhhhhh...

[ she’s wheezing as though completely exhausted. there’s a strangely gaunt look around her eyes? ]

I... I made it...

[ ....and then she passes out. ]

Re: more normal party tagging will happen, but FIRST—

[mind_blown]

[uh... huh. That’s concerning?

Maybe let’s just move her to shade for now... do swords get hot?]

[deicider]

[After a lot of swimming, Cardinal grabs a beer to sit on the beach. They're wearing a par of tight swim shorts and since they're shirtless it's possible to see their new corruption.

On their upper back there's a sigil of a sun done in what looks like pools of molten gold, flush with the contours of Cardinal's back. Small ripples move through the liquid as Cardinal shifts their shoulders. Down the center there is a streak bright red, like the dawn sun reflecting off the ocean.]

[worldlyafflictions]

Another casualty of the imp war, huh...

[neverbeentogeorgia]

[ Senpai is here in a pair of swim trunks and a hoodie like this but short sleeved. He's spread out \ underneath an umbrella, wearing an umbrella, reading a library book--The Canterbury Tales. ]

[tenebraecious]

[hiding under an umbrella squad go]

Oh! That was an interesting one. How are you finding it?

Counter-Live! Summer Romance Fortunes

[foxorcist]

[ in a witchy swimsuit with a ruffled top and a wide brimmed witch hat.

She looks super enthusiastic. Actually, she looks tired. ]

Alright, c'mere and get your love fortunes told.

Re: Counter-Live! Summer Romance Fortunes

[justfuckingtryit]

I'll take one. I could use the points.
