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.

...

I don't know whether to be distressed or bored out of my skull with how dull you made all that sound.

[revengier]

[ WOW????? ]

Distressed, considering I only make it sound dull because it's common.

[dyingtohealyou]

You're a terrible storyteller. Even conmonplace things can be interesting.

[revengier]

And you're unnecessarily rude. I suppose we all have our flaws.

[dyingtohealyou]

At least I keep things fun!

[revengier]

Whatever you say.

[ If that's what Ahito wants to believe, then who is Kurapika to tell him otherwise?

Still, he's smiling just a little. ]

Let's go back to the others.

[dyingtohealyou]

Sounds like a plan.

[He stifles a yawn.]

Maybe I'll see if I can catch a little more shut-eye, too...
