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.

I figured, y'know? That's why I brought it.

[But he just ended up using poor Yamanbagiri as a litmus test instead... Well! At least now they both know that it's a good and tasty combination.]

[yamanblanketry]

[ Again, better to use a duplicate for experiments and keep the precious pretty sword in better condition should it fail.

But there are no failures. Only delicious camp sweets. ]

It's the best combination so far.

[ But he wonders if he should dare to try the white chocolate and the cookies and cream. Can swords get cavities and stomach aches from too many sweets? Where are his brothers to keep him in check? ]

[adornmental]

[YAMANBAGIRI good lord...

Kashuu sure isn't going to keep him in check, though. He still hasn't learned the whole "eating sweets in moderation" lesson for himself yet anyway, considering he never eats enough to reach a point of Regret™.]

Good! I'll get more of that kind the next time we can make these.

[yamanblanketry]

[ He has few pleasures in life. Or to be more exact allows himself to have few pleasures. ]

Should we write down the combinations that work, so the other swords will have recipes to follow?

[adornmental]

[He needs some Serious Aid.]

Sure! They're all easy to remember, so we can just do that later.

[yamanblanketry]

[ Repairs need to include therapy for swords tbh. ]

If we make a fire pit at the citadel, some will need them.

[ There are certain swords Yamanbagiri will not trust with cooking. ]

[adornmental]

Maybe we can post 'em up in the kitchen where everyone can see.

[Seems reasonable to him...!]

[yamanblanketry]

... We need to find a way to make it water and fireproof.

[ He reaches for another marshmallow to toast. This time without even asking first. Progress? ]

[adornmental]

[Small steps!! Small steps matter!]

Maybe we could laminate it?

[He doesn't know how that works at all, he only knows it's a thing that the saniwa does sometimes with important documents...]

[yamanblanketry]

[ On the stick it goes for toasting! ]

I was thinking of stone.

[ Is he trying to make a joke, or is he being completely serious? The answer isn't apparent on his face.

(He's joking.) ]

[adornmental]

That heavy duty, huh? But you're prooobably not wrong to think we need it!

[Is it a joke?? Not even Kashuu is entirely sure, honestly.]

[yamanblanketry]

Laminate is basically plastic. We have swords who can cut through metal candlesticks.

... But some can also cut through stone.

[ Then again. The two swords referenced are probably two they don't have to worry about causing catastrophic s'more failure. ]

[adornmental]

I don't think one of those guys would ever set foot in a kitchen, though.

[And Mitsutada is actually competent, miraculously, so they probably don't have to worry about him either... Probably.]

[yamanblanketry]

We should ask Saniwa what's best to do with the recipes.

[ Or maybe more cooking lessons. Hopefully Saniwa isn't among those who'd risk burning down the citadel. ]
