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.

( "Naughty"?? Mika visibly pauses, wondering what Ginger's thinking,

Anyway, they have crimes to do, done only partly because Mika (as usual) could hear the blood rushing south, so he didn't really want to take Ginger through a front entrance... and also, he doesn't really care to do things the proper way with human facilities. This attitude is easier to get away with in a post-apocalyptic world, but perhaps a little questionable here.

Really, though, it's mostly just that it's a little fun to do this sort of thing with Ginger. Things they're not supposed to do, to get to things they want to do - just the two of them. If Ginger didn't like it, he'd stop. But... Ginger's having fun, too, isn't he?

This is fun. He's having fun. So Ginger raises his eyebrows and bites back a laugh, and Mika just grins back, as if reaffirming - Yeah, really.

As they approach a particular window, Mika will murmur: )

This one. I can get it.

( If Ginger slows to a hover, Mika can get the window open with magic - he's had practice, okay, - and allow them passage into a cozy room. Moonlight cast along the seating and bed, with small shelves and things for storage and unlit lanterns set about. (Thankfully, he can also get the door across the room locked with magic, without needing to leave Ginger.)

Mika's counting on no one bothering making rounds this time of night, or keeping precise track of who's in what room, but... he also doesn't think they'll be very loud. It's just kissing, right? (Potentially famous last words? Who knows.) )

We'll have to be quiet.
