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.

[ Beach trip! Beach trip! It's a nice little break from it all.

During the day though, with sun shining brightly, it may seem like Comet is no where to be found... Someone sees one of the wool blankets meant for the umbrellas seemingly rise with something underneath to give it movement like a sea slug... Or a woolen version of a stereotypical sheet ghost. It even has a straw sun hat on top. Someone is a little frail to the sun at peak hours it seems... But they still wish to be about. They'll be under the umbrellas if someone was hoping to rest prior to a jumpscare, or they're "floating" past the picnic food to take some. You can tell Comet about the magic tent! They didn't realize...

When the rays stop beating down so hard later on, Comet will be doing a bit of sand doodling. They're still wearing the straw hat from earlier, while the rest of their beach day DLC outfit includes a t-shirt, a cover-up hoodie meant for sun protection, shorts, and sandals. There are also a bunch of long sticks and branches for others to join in for art. Collaborative art time! Currently they're just drawing a giant sea turtle with baby turtles with shells to decorate. Off to the side, there's a crude drawing of an umbrella meant for names. Like so! Anyone can write names under it of course, but also see names written under it, and wipe them or replace it. Who wrote these before? Comet won't tattle or paying much attentiom, they thought of it as a good luck charm of sorts and seeing it before on the sand and blackboard back home.

Aside from that, they're also watching the sunset and walking along the beach at night to collect shells. Feel free to catch up with them! ]
