Beach party beach party

[youhearthebells]

Who: Hazmat crew!
Where: Aquatica Paradise (and sailing to it if you'd like)
When: appx Sept 24-30 (or, for sailing, anytime the 14-23)
What: VACATION. They've had a rough summer so it's time for some downtime. There are water parks, beaches, and an obligatory onsen, so mix and mingle with the super-happy (and young and pretty) locals and have some fun!
Warnings: not likely
Style: anything you want
Status: closed to Hazmat crew only unless another crew is on the island?

[Gan Ning promised his ragtag crew a party, and by god, they were going to have a party. It might have been worth it to hold on Isla Empieza, to mingle with other crews there, but there wasn't much going on there to stick around for. He heard from someone in the harbor about this island and decided it would make a great place for a party.

Somewhere along the way Raphael disappeared, sadly, but the rest of them continued on. They had already put off partying for too many reasons - a poor showing in the race, other crewmates disappearing, Cynthia's rescue from the clutches of giant spiders, and so on. No more. This time, they were just going to put down anchor, hang out on the beach, make some ice cream, and have a good time. Besides, with Tsuzuki joining the crew, they had to show him that they knew how to stick together, right?

((ooc: for all your info needs the island is here. Date your threads in the header if you need!))

Yeah, well if he was dipping them in the touch tank at the aquarium, maybe I would've.

[Some people just don't get it. Sure there are crabs everywhere, but those crabs are free for the taking. Take one from the aquarium and it's an accomplishment.

[anelegantmyth]

My poor baby...so bored he wants to steal crabs from kiddie touch ponds when he could be out doing something better with his life.

[ She pats his head lightly. ]

Don't worry darling, your sister's going to make sure you have fun while where here. Even if it kills her.

[by_heart]

Hey! Don't question my life decisions!

[Her words kind of evoke the image of the bored older brother tagging along and staring at sea life, desperately trying to find a way to keep himself entertained. What actually happened involved a lot more intense interest in what in the touch tank he could steal and eat, menacing hermit crabs, and arguing over what he could and couldn't steal out of the tank and why.]

That crab had it coming.

[anelegantmyth]

So you decided to try and steal it?

[ She actually puts her book down and gives him a look. ]

[by_heart]

[He rolls his eyes.]

Of course I did. I could have stolen most of the stuff in there, but most of those things would've died before I got 'em back to the boat.

[Girls. They never understand these things. Well, Larxene might have, but Larxene was psycho.]

[anelegantmyth]

[ He tried to steal from an aquarium. How do you even react to your brother trying to steal from an aquarium...?

She ends up with a chuckle.]

...you're so cute, Lea.

[by_heart]

[That just earns her a grumble from Lea. He'll proclaim himself to be adorable, but he doesn't deal well with observations like that from other people. It doesn't help that she's equating badass things like stealing from the aquarium with being cute. That's not cute at all.]

I really could've done it.

[anelegantmyth]

My little "badass", all grown up and stealing from touch ponds. You make me proud to call you my brother.

[ Insert fake sniffle. ]

Now you have two options, you either go back to your nap and I can finally finish this book, or we could both give up and go order margaritas.

[by_heart]

Hey, I got myself banned from the aquarium for that when I was a kid.

[Girls really don't understand. That sort of stuff is badass.]

Don't wanna move now, though. Do they deliver booze? I'd drink it if it came here itself.

[anelegantmyth]

Well, I don't know if they deliver or not. But we have the next best thing.

[ With a whistle, it didn't take long for a certain blue dog to appear in front of them. He had been running around the beach with Garchomp and Milotic. But once his trainer calls, he MUST obey. ]

Two margaritas? Or do you want something else?

[by_heart]

Margarita's fine. Not sure I even know what that is except that it's booze and that's good enough for me.

[Poor little guy, though. He was having fun out there and now he has to play waiter. Lea would tip him if he had any money left on him.]

[anelegantmyth]

Alright then.

[ Cynthia turns to her Lucario and gives him a small pouch. She always fails to mention to her crew that her Lucario does understand human speech and can speak back through telepathy. But keeping the secret is much more fun. ]

Get something for you guys too, just promise me you won't waste is all on chocolates again.

[ The blue dog nods and runs off. ]

Man...they grow up so fast.

[by_heart]

You raise them or something?

[Admittedly, he really doesn't know much about that whole situation.]

[anelegantmyth]

Yup! Some from eggs and others from their first stage of evolution.

[ She motions to the blue dog that was currently fading into the distance ]

He's the baby of my team. A friend gave him to me as a present, and who was I to turn down such a sweet little boy?

[by_heart]

Not even touching how creepy that sounds out of context.

[Actually, he's not even sure how creepy that sounds in context. Possibly really creepy. Maybe less creepy than it sounds out of context. Who knows?]

[anelegantmyth]

...

[ She'll just pinch your side now. Rude. ]

[by_heart]

[He rolls over and scowls at her.]

OW! Hey!! Somebody had to say it!

[Except no one actually did.]

[anelegantmyth]

Mean.

[ She's just pouting now. Some brother you are. ]

[by_heart]

[That's what brothers do, Cynthia. It's their job.]

Yeah, I'm terrible.

[He shrugs. He's pretty used to that one.]
