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.
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.

- 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.

[Sometimes these things happen...]
What was it that pissed him off in the first place, though? Your conversation durin' our meetin'?
[He was only halfway paying attention to that since he was talking with Robin, but that sure was A Time, wasn't it.]
no subject
[He knows the reason. Mostly. He thinks he knows. But as far as he's concerned, that's between him and Ithaqua.]
no subject
Huh. Sorry that things escalated like this. Maybe he'll calm down later?
[.......maybe....???]
no subject
Differing lines in the sand don't make that a very easy task, but I doubt we're going to come to much of an understanding right this second. [Or at all.]
no subject
[...right???]
no subject
So long as he doesn't go chasing down the people for sport or otherwise endangering them, I see no reason to hold him back.
no subject
Yeah, can't say I agree with his mindset on that either.
[Though he stays out of fights like that, he too likes humans quite a bit. He and Ithaqua did discuss that a bit, so he's not surprised this conflict came up.]
Agreed on that too, though. He seems to have been fine so far? Well. Aside from today, anyway. I'd prefer it if we could just focus on what we need to do, but I also get that it's a matter of principle between y'all, so I ain't gonna interfere.
no subject
[Not guaranteed, but Solomon might have some slight bias here.]
Normally, I would say Ithaqua and I would both be thinking the same. But Ithaqua seems determined to believe I've broken what peace he's offered, and that he should not watch his tongue or his actions quite so much due to that.
I'll consider it lip service, and only that, unless he decides to create a problem.
no subject
Makes sense. I appreciate the warnin'; I'll keep an eye out, but I'd prefer not to get involved unless it's absolutely necessary. I'll see how he's doin' after things today. I was plannin' on doin' that anyway.
[He doesn't dislike Ithaqua, despite their difference in opinions on humans. And the poor guy did lose his mask and seems... really upset in a way Malice has never seen him show before, so it's that that drives his actions rather than a desire to make sure Ithaqua will keep the peace.]
no subject
[Though he doesn't consider it much of a choice, but like everything else, it's not his role to make decisions for others.]
Mm. He lost his mask in the scuffle. Maybe taken away in the tide. If we can't find it, making him a new one as a replacement should be a priority. Though, he may want to make it himself. I have a feeling it might be a delicate matter for him.
no subject
[Malice sighs and shakes his head once that's out there.]
But thanks, for bein' so calm 'bout all'a this. You need anythin' before I go?
no subject
[As far as his own needs?? Ehhhhhhhhhhh.]
Not unless you can teleport me back to the manor. I feel I've had my share of the ocean air for the next few years.
no subject
[He grins though, and offers Solomon a wave.]
But we'll be headin' back soon, I'm sure. 'Til next time, then.
no subject
[He's just going to camp himself next to the bonfire until the hear becomes too much, before dragging his way back into the tent. The sooner he can rest, the sooner he can walk back under the light of the sun.]
