Life's a beach.

[openpost]

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.

Umi ran all the way to the seashore, where the water wet the sand and made it much cooler to walk on. Only then did she slow down to wade into the water.

White seabirds scuttled back and forth, picking at unseen bits of food when the waves were out, and fleeing on their stubby little legs when the water came roaring back in. Their bodies were small, but they apparently had inexhaustible amounts of energy. "Hey, get a load of those guys! Remind you of anyone?"

Fuu crouched down to get a better look at the birds. Further up the beach, she could see some of them cheekily trying to nab the food that people had brought as well as the things that had been discarded.

She smiled. "I think Sir Mokona put a special effort into creating these creatures!" she said, cupping her cheek in one hand. "You can almost imagine them saying 'pu pu.'"

"Ha! Maybe they do, when no one's looking!" She waded deeper into the water, feeling the cool pressure of the water sink up past her waist.

"The temperature's just right!" With a sharp intake of breath, Umi dove beneath the waves, searching the sandy bottom for any stray shells.

Fuu followed Umi into the water more cautiously. Although she could swim, it wasn't her forte. She had left her glasses up with their other things, too, so everything looked a bit blurry, including Umi's mass of blue hair underwater.

Fuu pinched her nose, took a deep breath, and ducked under the surface. The water roared in her ears--she recalled reading about how water magnified sound--and felt on the sand for anything interesting. Her fingers touched something flat and smooth, not at all like a seashell, and she grabbed it and surfaced.

She wasn't sure, but it looked like a broken bottle that had been smoothed by the ocean. "I think I found a piece of sea-glass!"

Umi came up in a splash of water, holding up a mostly-intact pink clamshell. "Looks like there are some nice shells around here... huh? Sea-glass?"

She wrinkled her nose. "Fuu, you can find stuff like that anywhere!"

[monster_san]

"Oh, but it's so interesting!" Fuu protested. "Who knows how long it's been tumbling around in the ocean? Or who it once belonged to? And it is very pretty." Sure, it was probably part of a broken bottle--definitely, considering its green color--but it was a very nice one.

She leaned closer to get a better look at the object that Umi had found. Without her glasses, she couldn't say for sure. "A seashell? I wonder what kind of mollusc it was."

[flowingsword]

"Well, I guess so," said Umi a little doubtfully. "I never knew you were a sea-glass fan."

She handed the shell to Fuu. "I don't know what kind it is, exactly. Probably some kind of clam or... ugh! What's that? There's something gross wrapped around my leg!"

She could feel its sliminess clinging to her ankle, and vehemently kicked with her foot underwater to try and free herself.
