the beach episode (dated before the east mission)

[fallingsand]

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.

[Urianger has absolutely no idea what brought this little scuffle on, but it sure happened. And those sure are a ton of magical sigils etched into Solomon's skin. Interesting. Maybe he'll ask about that later, even if he's certain he wasn't meant to see it. Cat's kind of out of the bag now, right?]

[Well! Despite how he very much looks like he wants to be anywhere else but here, Solomon will still be around the beach, though he's clothing himself up as soon as he gets help with a spell to dry him off before the salt starts to cake. He'll be hanging out around the bonfire soon enough.]

[divineth]

[Seeing as they both end up around the bonfire...he'll check up on Solomon! And maybe ask those questions. Y'know.]

How farest thee?

[Ah, hello tall one!]

Fine enough, my friend. Wounded pride and nothing more.

I'm sorry for the commotion.

[Love how this is just how he's recognized by so many people.]

'Tis quite all right. Ithaqua explained to me that heat poisoning played a role in what transpired. Art thou also struggling with this clime?
