the beach episode (dated before the east mission)

There's a small slice of sandy beach between mountains and wasteland, where the South meets Central, only an inlet of ocean between them, and that is where Bruno has decided to set up camp.

Literally.

He only had a simple tent and supplies for two initially. Tatara had asked if he could join him on his little trip out and how could he say no? Unfortunately for him, Tatara may have decided to invite everyone else, too, so, welcome, everyone, to the beach episode and a chance to relax after a potentially rough week in the City of Rain.

The sand is warm and fine, the water isn't too chilly, and scrubby little palm trees and plant life dot the dunes. Sea birds are the most active wildlife out here, not counting whatever fish can be found dwelling in the depths of the inlet between South and Central or further out into the ocean. It's comfortable enough... unless you hate sand, that is! You don't hate sand, right?

Since Tatara's arrival, more than Bruno's humble setup can be found.
- There's food fit for a picnic and enough bottles of wine for the evening.

- In the evening, a (non-deadly) bonfire will be built and there'll be pillows to sit on for those who don't want to sit directly on the sand.

- A few colorful rough wool blankets laid out under umbrellas meant to provide shade.

- There's still only one sad-looking tent... However! Bruno's gone ahead and enchanted it so that, when one pushes the cloth flap aside and enters, they'll find a much more comfortable setup inside.

And, of course, anything the other wizards have decided to bring! Bruno wasn't expecting a party but now that it's here, he sure can't tell them not to have fun however they want.

[ We're bullshitting this and blaming the dice (it says a 5, so comet threw it too hard. obviously)

Squont all you like, they'll be responsible. ]


I think the both of you are weak to water.

[help oh no my typo.... anyway we move on]

Ah, Comet. Thank you.

[He wipes off his face first, followed by a vigorous working of his hair, parts of it standing in strange directions as he cards his hands back through it.]

I don't know if you need to go that far, but it's definitely not something I like. I won't speak for Ithaqua, though.

I'll love it enough to make up for the two of you, regardless.

[ There is something they notice though. ]

You'd be in good company with the spirits, at least.

The spirits?

[Huh...]

I'm used to them being rather protective of the ocean, but... Why would you say that?

[ They close their eyes, get nothing useful again... And respond very simply: ]

They just stay here on the mainland.

Strange...

I've not been able to hear much from them, but I don't think I'd have much luck trying right now regardless.

It's okay if they're quiet today.

[ A forgiving moon mouse... If it's alright with Solomon, Comet can help dry his clothes off. It's just them flapping the shirt, but they're young and are easily kept busy. ]

When you say it like that though, it sounds like you've upset them elsewhere.
