Life's a beach.



The sound of the waves washing in and out, the warmth of the sun as it shined down upon you, the smell of the ocean in the air. A trip to the Beach could always be fun and relaxing. Maybe you want to join a game of Beach volleyball or head out in the ocean and swim? There is always the option of catching a wave or two if you know how to surf. And if you don’t know how? Maybe you want to learn.

There are quite a few activities you can do while you are at the Beach. Though sometimes nothing beats just laying down and relaxing in the sun. But don’t forget to put on sunscreen to protect your skin! And for those hard to reach places, why not ask for a little helping hand.


[ooc: Open post for all! Set up your post however you want. Put up multiple scenarios, leave it blank, ect. Add a picture of what their swimwear is too if you like. Have fun! Ganked from this spot here.

[Abe is most likely going to be in the water because swimming is so totes his thing.]

[ The ocean. The beautiful, relaxing ocean and tropical beach front. How long did Shepard dream of getting to take her vacation here? It was a longtime dream and it finally came true. The weather was perfect, the temperature was just right and the water was refreshing. Words couldn't even begin to describe how ecstatic she is.

Shepard waded out in the shallows in her black N7 striped bikini with a wide brimmed sunhat sitting on her head. The water was crystal clear and the sand was so white. Waves crashed against her thighs and hips as she moved about and such a smile graced her lips that hasn't faltered since they got there. Yes, this was most definitely a perfect paradise. ]

[Abe had finally managed to get Shepard to come to his home planet. He'd been more interested in showing her the grand libraries, architecture, and discussion-houses of the city but she'd wanted first to find somewhere isolated. As soon as they entered a populated area her alien face would attract far too many gawkers.

So here they were. Abe waved to her as he paddled by, reveling in the sensation of clean water across his gills.]

This place is gorgeous, Abe.

[ Shepard's arms rose in the air and she laughed. When was the last time she was this light-hearted? There was a part of her that didn't even want to leave, but she knew in the back of her mind she had duties to return to. Not now, but later. Much later. ]

To say that Haru's favorite thing about summer is swimming in the sea would be a bit like saying that waves have a tendency to be slightly damp. To say that summer is Haru's favorite time of year because he gets to swim in the sea would at least have the benefit of marginally greater accuracy. It still wouldn't capture the full weight of all those winter months spent pining for some open expanse of water when the closest to swimming he gets is his daily soak in his bathtub.

So now that he's got the chance, he's going to use every minute of it. And he's a good strong swimmer, too, so there's no cause for him to stay near the shore. Today, he's set his sights on a tiny island--little more than a scrap of sand and a few trees--a fair distance from the mainland. It will make a good place to rest for a while before heading back and he'll get some good quiet time on his own.

About half way there he pauses, though, turning and treading water as he looks back toward the beach in the distance, appreciating the view and the gentle sounds of the sea around him. It's then that he catches a glimpse of a shadow moving down below the surface. He can't quite make out what it is--not a fish, he doesn't think. It doesn't seem to be moving right for that.

How curious. Perhaps he'll just tread water here and watch it for a while.
