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.

Oooooh, now this is always a fun one. Lay it on me!

[He's also been drinking so it's bound to be even more chaotic than usual.]

[divinevoid]

[ It's probably going to be fine...!! ]

Truth or Dare, Raven~?

[reallyfishy]

Dare.

[Imagine Raven ever picking truth.]

[divinevoid]

[ Bless Raven for embracing the spirit of fun. You're a real one! ]

Hmm...how about this - I dare you to let someone dip you here and then bat your eyelashes at them.

[ That seems simple enough! ]

[reallyfishy]

[Well. He's started laughing so he's obviously a fan of this dare.]

Oh, I know exactly who ta inflict this on.

[YEAGER WHERE ARE YOU--]

[akademise]

[ Well, if Raven is so enthusiastic about it... Then More (Beach Edition) can come out of his observation-only mode and play along. ]

Then... Truth or dare, take your pick.

[reallyfishy]

[The more beers in Raven's system, the more confused he gets about More's beach attire. Why. Why is he wearing all that.

Anyway,]

I gotta know what kinda dare you'd give me.

[akademise]

[ He's wearing all that because the second gender won. Don't worry about it. ]

Hmm... Tell me, do you know to dance? I suppose it matters not. Please choose a partner from our round and ask them for a dance performed to the best of your ability.

[reallyfishy]

[HELP.

Also I close my eyes at what Raven is about to do.]

I sure do. And since ya asked, wanna experience my dancin' skills fer yerself?

[toybombs]

Truth or dare?

[Look at that cute face. Definitely to be trusted with truths.]

[reallyfishy]

[Imagine Raven ever picking truth.................but okay maybe he'll make an exception just this once.]

Hmmm, truth!

[toybombs]

What's your deepest, darkest secret?

1/2

[reallyfishy]

[Wow. He's speechless.

He sure walked right into that one.]

[reallyfishy]

I'm well known fer makin' amazing sweets, but none of the ladies I make 'em for know I actually hate sweets.

[Truly, how would they live with this information.]

[sacrificialpawn]

[Hi Raven he's so sorry here's a beach ball flying right at you. He's being nice and not throwing it hard but it's probably still fairly hard given how strong he is, so... RIP.]

[reallyfishy]

[On a good day, Raven would most likely see this coming and be able to dodge it. But he's drunk right now so he's off his game. Therefore, he takes the beach ball to the back of the head and falls face first into the sand (16,4).]

[sacrificialpawn]

[... whoops. See, this is why he told Tis he doesn't like playing sports! YOU ALIVE, OLD MAN--

Still, he can't help but be pleased with his aim given that he too is drunk.]

Sorry! Truth or dare!

[As if that really explains much of anything, but. He's not about to paint a target on Rio's back just yet.]

[reallyfishy]

[Raven gives a shaky thumbs up after he pries himself out of the sand.

He needs another drink, stat.]

[plushes]

Yo, old man! Truth or dare?

[reallyfishy]

Hey, kiddo!

[Percy wouldn't be mean and give old Raven a horrible challenge, right?

Right?]

Dare.

[plushes]

[ Right! ]

Pick someone and dance in front of them like your life depends on it for 30 seconds. You can get them to join in too, if you want!

[reallyfishy]

You guys sure want me ta wear my old bones out dancin' tonight, huh?

Okay, lemme go find someone.

[Off he goes...]

[tworo]

Very well. Truth or dare?

[reallyfishy]

Okay, I gotta admit I'm curious ta see what sorta dare you'd come up with.

[tworo]

[Fortunately for someone like Turo, he has internet access in his brain! There are easily tabulated lists of Truth or Dare ideas! He's gonna get a good grade at playing Truth or Dare! Turo considers the items at hand, then nods towards the cooler they brought for the drinks.]

I dare you to let someone pour ice down your shirt and pants.
