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.

Sounds easy enough.

[divinevoid]

I should hope it does!

Either way, Truth or Dare, Gyles~?

[lavenfallen]

[ ... why does he feel like he's going to regret this? ]

How 'bout a dare?

[divinevoid]

[ He's not! Do trust this blond, it will end well (yes??? no???) ]

I dare you to go up to someone else and start to sing your best tune starting with the words "I'm a happy eggplant", grab a hold of that individual's hand, as well as have them skip along with you for about a minute.

[lavenfallen]

[ thanks for assuming he can handle skipping in the sand with his old man knees ]

Why an eggplant?

[divinevoid]

[ He can do it, Void Archives believes (?) in him. ]

Why not?

[lavenfallen]

... Riiiight.

[ Hope they enjoy his attempt, then! ]

[divinevoid]

[ Look, they're going to be laughing the whole entire time... ]

[toybombs]

Then what will it be? Truth or dare?

[lavenfallen]

Truth. [ no more skipping, please :( ]

[toybombs]

What's something you wish you could overcome?

[is2g]

The rules speak for themselves.

[ there will be absolutely no reason why he should regret this! ]

So, interested in some truth or dare?

[lavenfallen]

[ A shrug. ]

If this existed back home, I sure didn't know 'bout it.

[ As for his question, though... ]

I'll go with truth.

[is2g]

'nd if not, it feels like it would have been somethin' someone might do after too many drinks.

[ hmm. wolfwood could go deep or he could keep things fun and, honestly after everything, there is only one correct choice. ]

What's the grossest thing that ya've eaten?

[lavenfallen]

[ Oh. That's actually a good question. He actually has to think about that one. ]

... Rotting fish, probably. Not somethin' I'd recommend to anyone.

[tworo]

Truth or dare?

[His former roommate is someone else Turo feels reasonably comfortable targeting!]

[lavenfallen]

[ ... on one hand, he's done a lot of truths already, and he feels Turo wouldn't be too outrageous with any requests. But eh. ]

Truth.

[tworo]

[Hm, this is a curious opportunity...]

...do humans exist in your world, or was this the first time you'd seen any?

[That's not really a proper truth or dare question - he has a follow-up that might be closer - but the groundwork is genuinely interesting!]

[lavenfallen]

[ A nod. ]

They do. Traveled with a few before coming here, even. Just weren't common in my neck of the woods. [ *seaside ]

[tworo]

Oh, yours is one of the worlds with multiple sapient species! Mine does too, of course, but Pokemon don't live anything like humans. It feels a little different.

[like they're not gonna be here wearing clothes and doing jobs, you know?]
