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.

[Kiryu stares at the bowls of the breading station, the cogs in his head trying to process this...]
How.
[How can what's pretty much a ship float. What's going on]

[Kiryu, this kind of response was what people once said about ships, and about planes! Open your mind to the wonders of airships!]

It'll be hard to go back to not having magic, once this is over.
[He's assuming the magic will stay in this world and he'll be just a normal guy upon his return home! But yeah, magic is convenient and Kiryu has to admit it]

[Yodarha gratefully takes the fish and immediately chucks it into the pot of bubbling oil.]
But I think it'll end up bein' the end of wizardry for me too. Don't think it'll come anywhere near as naturally back home as it has here, that's for sure. But that's okay!
no subject
[That and fishing!]

[A whole lot of them...]
I have had to get through entire buildings and towers full of opponents on my own. I'm known for going against dozens of people and getting through.
[Fortunately it can never be all at once because, you know, there's a limit to how many people can fight at once without friendly fire happening, but yeah, Kiryu routinely got through such situations at least once a game!]

[Because it's impressive, Kiryu! And climactic! Think of the climactic aspect!]

Y'know, maybe they just wanna feel tall? I felt that way when I was younger! But then I realized one's actions ended up makin' them taller than their actual height ever did.
[With those random words of wisdom out of the way, another few fish are sliced to perfection.]
no subject
[Because Kiryu has the bad habit of dropping little pearls of wisdom at people. Perks of being a main character with hundreds of sidestories that lead him to meet the randomest people: you get to give them life lessons]

[Kiryu, you have been giving little words of wisdom since you were like twenty. In that case you have had the heart of an old man for ages!]

[An old gentleman's club where everyone is saying 'nya' probably doesn't fit the mental image of what it's supposed to be like!]

Who the heck makes wine that does that? Though from what I've gathered from bein' here, quite a few wizards like pullin' pranks here and there, and that seems pretty minor as far as 'curses' go...
no subject
[Kiryu going nya on two different occassions, can you believe it]
no subject
[With a few more deft chops, Yodarha finishes his handiwork, sliding the rest of the gutted fish in Kiryu's direction.]
