VACATION IS WHERE I WANNA BE

[kametaro]

☼ 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.

[EXACTLY, food is for life, and delicious food, even better. They'll drag Ookurikara and all the other countries! Countries will help cook.

...she might cut out half the invitation list though.

She will definitely keep giving him nice pats if he wants them, which is why she's continuing to do it. Even though they can climb down now.]

Ah, shall we go back down now? Relax for a while? I don't think they'll be back.

[aslyfox]

Sounds like a plan. [ He'll shimmy down the tree halfway before letting go, landing in the sand with a soft 'poomph'. Shaking his head to reset his hair, he looks up at Vietnam and holds his arms out... he'll be happy to catch her if she trusts him enough to catch her. It's not like a fall from that height would hurt anyway, but the quicker they could return to relaxation, the better. ]

[hoasen]

[And she waits for him to settle first before considering whether to move down or not! Seeing as he holds his arms out though...alright fine why not. It's fast and she trusts Kogitsunemaru. So she let's go, dropping gently so that she doesn't randomly crash into him.]

[aslyfox]

[ He's a strong sword, so catching her is no problem! Even though the day has been filled with excruciatingly random events (stupid crabs), he isn't completely drained of energy yet. If anything, the tree looks more exhausted than he does. ]

Sorry again, Vietnam-san. I've learned many things today.

[ Most of them are crab-related. ]

[hoasen]

[Poor tree, having to hold the two of them! Not that she's any heavy, but he is pretty big in his human form. But she's glad that when he catches her, she's not straining him.

It saddens her to see how upset he looks. He thought he was having fun with the crabs! But now he regrets it. She doesn't want him to sacrifice this kind of curious purity.

She reaches up again to pat his hairears then. It worked before.]

It is not your fault, Kogitsunemaru. They were picking on you too.

[aslyfox]

[ Gosh, who knew crabs were so vicious... ugh. At least he's getting nice pats! He'll let Vietnam go, if only so he could sit against the tree in the sand that had many, many little marks in it from crab mosh pit. ]

... just... don't tell anyone that this happened, alright? [ If anyone caught wind that the little fox essentially lost to a crab, let alone many of them, surely no one would let him forget it. Especially Kashuu. UGH. ]

[hoasen]

[Crabs with their claws! She settles down onto her feet, pats him a little more, and then follows after him to suit down beside him.]

I won't tell anyone. My own pride is on the line too, no?

[So it's their secret! She was chased with him, after all.]

[aslyfox]

You have a point. It'll be our secret. [ He finds it within himself to smile and finds it easier to do so when Vietnam sits with him. ]

Vietnam... do you think we'll ever come back here?

[hoasen]

[Kogitsunemaru smiling like comforts her, actually. Since she had been worried the whole time.]

Hmm, that depends. Do you want to come back here?

[aslyfox]

[ No hesitation, because it's what he wants, right? ]

Yes. Very much so. Honestly, it's a shame we can't move the citadel here... [ Fun in the sun AND time traveling? It's like... the greatest working vacation ever? ]

If we could train the crabs to go back in time, perhaps we could find a suitable replacement for the troops?

[ ... weh. ]

[hoasen]

[Whoa, considering where she lives, that kind of thing is actually legit. Her entire coast is full of great beaches anyway!]

Then we will be able to come back here. You tell me when, Kogitsunemaru, and I will take you if a large holiday cannot be organised. [Easy.]

... [About that.] I am not sure how easy it is to train crabs. This must be first researched.

[aslyfox]

[ AH... Vietnam is so kind and patient because Kogitsunemaru is pretty much a handful. How does their saniwa even deal? ]

Much appreciated. I look forward to that! [ Even though they're already at the beach, he's already thinking about a crab-less fun time. ]

... I wonder how long it'd take to teach them to fight.

[ He's such a dingus. ]
