VACATION IS WHERE I WANNA BE
 ☼ BEACH VACATION MEME ☼ Summer begins, and the saniwa's army earns a well deserved vacation. All expenses paid for by their organization, from travel to lodging to food, and yes, even the swim wear and toys. The water is blue, the skies are (mostly) clear, and it's time to have some fun at the beach! Watch out for the jellyfish and KBseagulls. ***Feel free to include some prompts in your top level. If you can't think of any, pick from below for some ideas!** 001.IN THE WATER This is why you're here, right? Take to the water and splash around. Now might be a good time to learn to swim if you don't already. But watch out! Here comes a large wave--! 002.SANDCASTLES This is it... the enemy's stronghold... not! It's a race against the clock to build a castle before the tide comes in. Collect those seashells, fortify your fortress, and don't be a jerk and ruin some else's castle. 003.SUNBATHING or maybe you've opted to sit under the shade of a large umbrella instead. Some times it's good to just sit back, relax, and watch to make sure no one needs to be rescued later. Keep an eye on the tide or you might find yourself getting wet anyway. 004. BEACH ANIMALS There are tiny fish in the tide pools, crabs crawling around, and uwah are those sea turtles?! Tsurumaru, put that octopus down right now. Ouch, did that jellyfish get you? And look, over there! That's a dolphin! You know, dolphins are intelligent creatures and have been known to help people-- WAIT NO ITS A SHARK ITS A SHARK NOT A FRIENDLY FISH IT LOOKS LIKE A DOLPHIN BUT ITS A SHARK. 005.MELON SLICING The organization has been kind enough to provide food and drink as well. They must have felt very clever sending all of those watermelons, though. Really, who needs that many watermelons? It's a competition to see which sword is the True Melonslasher. 006.STORM Those clouds came in so quickly, you barely had a chance to notice. The sky is dark, the rain is pouring down, and the wind is blowing cold. It's time to quickly collect your things and try to find some place dry. 007.KBCGULLS. Oh no, who fed the seagulls? They're circling around like vultures and making swoops at you, trying to steal your food. Hey, wait, that's not even edible! Was it just you or was there an evil glint in that bird's eye just now...? 008.BEACH PARTY. All of those watermelons you sliced earlier are being put to use. The sun is setting, the food is out, and a bonfire is going on the beach. Eat your heart out and dance around the fire. Watch the sunset, look at the stars, this sure is nice, isn't it? 009.WILDCARD. Mix and match. Create your own prompt. Find the dragon king's palace or something. |

Do you want me to find more shells for them? How many do you need?
[ He... didn't exactly count how many foxes there were as he walked past them. He many need to get creative with the "hats" if he has trouble finding enough big shells washed up on the shore. ]
no subject
Ah, I made some foxes closer to the water. Perhaps there will be seashells down by the seashore?
[ They're not his best work, but hey, he could touch them up a bit and they'll be good as new! ]
no subject
More likely than higher up on the shore. I found those by the rocks.
[ He supposes the bigger pieces are harder to wash up than the broken or small pieces. Though, he wonders if those foxes have survived the waves, unlike his late sand citadel. ]
no subject
Let's go. [ He'll start toward the shore, beckoning the cape-clad sword along. Nothing possibly could go wrong. ]
fyi I'll be going on vacation soon, so there will be a delay in tags
He finds an interesting piece of driftwood shaped in an odd curve and worn smooth from the waves. He plops it into the bucket with a quiet thud. Then he continues his expedition for seashell resources. ]
no worries!~
[ Where Kogitsunemaru hoped to find some of his newly shaped friends was, instead, lumps of sand that had no features as the water washed over them. So much work wasted... he's a little bummed, so the little fox will sit down and mope.
Moping is good for the soul, after all...? ]
no subject
Yamanbagiri kneels down next to Kogitsunemaru in supportive silence. He too has lost to the dark ocean waves. There are no words to comfort for this loss. The bucket with the various findings is placed between them. ]
no subject
... I didn't know this would happen, otherwise maybe I'd build a wall to protect them. [ It may not have saved them, but at least he would've tried. The water completely routed his little sand army and most of his time, which was what really upset him. He didn't even get to show everyone his project. ]
I suppose the memories will be enough. [ And he'll peer into the bucket, tilting his head and blinking. ]
So what did you find...?
no subject
Here.
[ As he passes over the bucket full of small collected trinkets, he takes a long, smooth piece of driftwood and sticks it into the sand near the late sand fox. It's not much, but the makeshift grave marker shows where the fox met its end. Yamanbagiri clasps his hands before him and offers a few words. ]
