THE (SHARD)BEACH EPISODE 🌊🛹

[lavenfallen]

After a grueling two weeks filled to the brim with pain and suffering, a break is more than deserved. So while Gyles is far from a planner of activities, he'll make sure everyone (even the NPCs. stares directly at Redd.) knows about a world he accidentally stumbled upon. As far as he knows, it doesn't have a name, but do the details really matter???? Absolutely not.

What matters is that this is a beautiful beach by the ocean. The sun's shining, the water's warm enough to swim in, and there's plenty of critters and shells to find among the tide pools and beneath the waves. If you're brave enough, you could even take a boat out on the water! ... but maybe don't do that alone?

Don't have a swimsuit? No problem! There's a beach shack with all the swimwear and beach-goer attire you could possibly want, along with things like sunscreen, fishing gear, inflatable beach toys, and snorkels. Basically if you want it, it's there, I'm sure as hell not gonna stop you. The shack also sells whatever cold treats and snacks your heart desires.

There's also a fire pit, perfect for late night s'mores and stories around a bonfire, and a charcoal barbeque for the cooks among the group. The nearby convenience store doesn't have as wide a selection as W*lmart, but there's a decent selection of meats, veggies, and drinks to choose from.

If you're not one for the sand, then a very short walk away from the shore is surely the biggest skate park anyone's ever seen. If you didn't bring your skateboard or hoverboard with you, that's a-okay because there are plenty that're free to borrow. There's also some rollerskates, if that's more your style.

Relax, unwind, and enjoy the (shard)beach episode, Shardbearers.

[ Of course, they are here. ]

[guffawsungraciously]

Well, I have to ask you the question, then.

[divinevoid]

[ At that, they're going to grant a little chuckle. ]

Oh, certainly so~

I'll be going for Truth. I am curious as to what you have up your sleeve, Sir Jasper.

[guffawsungraciously]

Hmmm...

[what SHOULD he ask, actually...

...]

So, how many times have people struck you in the face for something you've said over your existence? A rough estimate is fine.

[divinevoid]

[ There is definitely a pout on their face. Look at how sad they are, Jasper! Their poor, soft, and hurt feelings...

...

Nah, they're fine. ]

What a cruel question to ask. I have had a terrible and long, suffering life, do you realize this?

[ But after the pout, they look thoughtful. ]

...I suppose at least twice, before I came here. It would technically count if one of those times I was wearing a mask, hm~? Most of the time if someone hit me, they don't quite get to my face as a target.

[guffawsungraciously]

I do count as long as it is a punch aimed at your general facial region. And really, I am sure it has happened to most everyone at least once.

[divinevoid]

Well, to be more specific...it was more a sword rather than a fist when I was wearing the mask, but you are right nonetheless.

[ The hand is gripping the sword, but even in that special circumstance, it's close enough to a punch, right? ]

Though, I'd imagine whenever someone tried it against you they would certainly regret the effort, hm?

[guffawsungraciously]

Ah. Well, I feel like that may have happened to me once or twice, though it was a practice sword.

[...]

I would at least attempt to make them regret it, anyway.

[divinevoid]

Due to training as a knight?

[ Sounds like a natural consequence of events...though, they let out a little chuckle at hearing that. ]

But, that does sound about what I'd expect. You never struck me [ heh ] as an individual who'd never give it less than his full effort. In retaliation or otherwise.

[akademise]

[ More has a dare to fulfill, so... HELLO. ]

I believe you're one of the most observant people I've met. You might say that it is because collecting information is your purpose, but your gift for getting to the bottom of things far surpasses the mere amassing of input.

[divinevoid]

[ Welcome back, More! Void Archives looks proud of themselves, hearing this. ]

Why thank you. I am, of course, deserving of all praise~

[ ...if anyone thought they had lost that self-confidence, think again. ]

[akademise]

I am glad to see your self esteem is not lacking, either.

[ As a member of self hate squad, he does admire this. ]

[divinevoid]

Haha, you certainly indeed have no worry that I would lack such things...after all, what is life without a good sense of self-esteem~?

[ More too can level up and join the arrogant squad if he levels up in confidence!! ]

[akademise]

[ WHY WOULD YOU ASK HIM THAT... even as a rhetorical question.... Haha. ]

A little more troubled, at least.
