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.
serenesinker: we're goin' on a trip to the mountains! exciting, huh? (happy)

Happens to me often. More these days. I thought it was my age making it happen.

[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!]
serenesinker: kickin' back! (relaxed)

[personal profile] serenesinker 2024-05-31 09:28 am (UTC)(link)
Just two old men, dispensin' wisdom accidentally... Truth be told, it makes me feel a bit better knowin' someone closer to my age is here with me!

Bruno said something like that too. He said we should form a club of old people.

[Somehow there's a decent population of that around here! It's surprising]
serenesinker: boy, i sure am a cute old geezer, ain't i? (cute)

A-hyuk-hyuk! An old gentleman's club of sorts sounds like a boatload of fun! If Bruno decides to put that together, count me in.

Yeah, I'll tell him. I'm interested as long as it doesn't include more of that wine he gave me -- the one that makes you have to say 'nya' constantly.

[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!]
serenesinker: say what now??? (surprised flabbergasted)

[Yodarha's eyebrows raise at the mention of that wine.]

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...

Don't ask me. I'm just the guy who got fooled with that prank twice already.

[Kiryu going nya on two different occassions, can you believe it]
serenesinker: i'm in a good mood! (neutral happy)

[personal profile] serenesinker 2024-06-04 09:27 am (UTC)(link)
Well, here's hopin' you don't have to deal with it ever again, hyuk-hyuk!

[With a few more deft chops, Yodarha finishes his handiwork, sliding the rest of the gutted fish in Kiryu's direction.]
