A Day at the Beach Meme

[givesherflower]

So you need a vacation. The weather's nice, so why not hit the beach?



So here are the rules:

1. Comment with your character and put their name and canon in the subject line.
2. Do beach stuff with whoever threads with you. Go tanning. Collect seashells. Have a picnic. Swim. Surf. Visit the little resort. Get stranded at sea in a canoe. Day or night. Do your own thing.
3. There is no need for RNG here, just have fun. :)

[ see this? see it? this is an angry troll with sunglasses all curled up and glaring daggers out into the water. why?

because he can't swim is why. here he comes to the beach and he's wearing all of his clothes too. welp. what do. ]

[shadowdive]

[Well he's going to not need all those clothes, because here comes Vanitas from the back and hefting Karkat over his shoulder. And heading towards the water.

Guess who is going to learn how to swim today.]

[papshooshing]

[ the fuck...

AND HERE COMES THE FLAILING. ]

What the fuck are you doing!? Put me down right this instant!

[shadowdive]

Nope. [ANKLES IN THE WATER, YOU'RE BEING HELD OVER THAT EVIL WET STUFF and Vanitas isn't slowing down from walking further in.]

[papshooshing]

Vani.. VANI! No, you don't fucking understand! Land trolls aren't meant to dive headfirst intot he water. C'mon! Don't do this, shitsponge!

[shadowdive]

You're not diving headfirst, I'm making sure you know how to swim for the next time you need to cross an ocean. [Vanitas stops about waist deep in the water and un-slings the troll from his shoulder.. have a nice refreshing dunk.]

flailing and sputtering, okok ]

[shadowdive]

[Dude stop fake drowning, you can stand in this. He'll heft Karkat to his feet now.]

[papshooshing]

[ SHUT UP HE IS SO DROWNING. YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW...

okay, so he's not. but he's spitting a mouthful of water at you, Vani. right in the eyes. ]

[shadowdive]

[.......] I should drop you again, just for that. [Threatens with a little bob into the water..]

[papshooshing]

ACK! DON'T! This is a stupid idea!

[shadowdive]

You want to stop being afraid of the water, right?

[papshooshing]

I can't swim. That's the problem here, genius.

[shadowdive]

That's why I didn't go out far, idiot. I'm going to teach you how to at least tread water. That way, you won't drown right off the bat.

[papshooshing]

That's not a thing land faring trolls are meant to do. Do we have gills? Do you see any fucking gills on me?

[shadowdive]

Do you see any on me? [Dropping him in the waist deep water again.]

[papshooshing]

[ he lands in the water with a swear, though there is no flailing around this time. ]

Asshole.

[shadowdive]

Right right, now let me see what you would do if you were in deeper water. You have to at least have some resemblance to self-preservation when dumped in water.

[papshooshing]

...You already saw what I would do.

[shadowdive]

Seriously. You would just flail around, wasting energy so you drown faster. [In otherwords, you now know not to do that.]

[papshooshing]

It's better than the sea beasts getting to you first.

[shadowdive]

Not if you can swim back onto a boat or whatever you fell from in the first place.

[Leaning down and hooking his arm beneath Karkats middle, Vanitas suspends him in the water on his back.]

First, you're going to learn to float. This is the best way to conserve energy and to avoid drowning when there isn't anything around you to hang onto.

[papshooshing]

[ okay, so. he's just going to lay there motionless, except for the hands now covering his eyes.

at least he's going to listen. ]

[shadowdive]

[Stop looking ridiculous. Snorting, Vani pulls his hips up slightly to try and adjust the trolls center of gravity.] Just relax and lean up with your stomach. Keeping your back straight makes it easier to inflate your lungs all the way down to the gut and make you float. Let your arms stretch out too.
