OPEN LOG: A beach party.

[bouchonne]

WHO: Everyone.
WHAT: A beach party.
WHEN: On a very hot day. At some point during the month.
WHERE: A beach just outside of Kirkwall.
NOTES: It is a beach party.

During a particularly hot and oppressive week in Kingsway, the Diplomacy division announces it will be diverting some of its funds to organize a party on a nearby beach. Kirkwallers are invited as well - a relationship-building sort of effort - but the party is mostly intended for morale boosting for Riftwatch itself.

The party features the following:

• Transportation to this lovely beach from the Gallows and from Kirkwall.


• Sunbathing and swimming in skimpy (or non-skimpy, if you're a fuckin square) bathing suits.


• Live music and dancing.


• Delectable grilled meats (and some vegetables, if you're a fuckin square).


• Rum drinks served in hollowed-out fruits.


• A sandcastle-building competition.


• A swim race.


• A few fun little sailboats bobbing around out on the water.

Does all that sound too wholesome? Great! There's also a cave system in the cliffs next to the beach. These little grottos are full of nooks and crannies and are perfect for a bit of sinful action after dark; in one cavern, there'll be some gambling games where some of Kirkwall's citizens are losing money; in another, you're likely to run into people making out.

Have fun! Soak up sun! Don't get in trouble! Or do, whatever, it's a beach party.

a. fashionably late

[ Athessa turns up to the party fashionably late, as the prompt title says, wearing a completely not-anachronistic bandeau-top bikini and a simple cover-up that doesn't actually cover much of anything.

The neckline of it plunges to just past her navel, because when you train as much for the kind of work Athessa does, you end up with abs that would be criminal not to flaunt. She sports a number of earrings in each ear, necklaces about her neck, bangles on her wrists and ankles, making her a veritable wind-chime when she breezes past anyone.

Not that she's breezing very far; she finds a spot to stretch out and sunbathe almost immediately after arriving, using her cover-up as a makeshift beach towel and lighting up a joint for the ultimate in relaxation. ]

b. bonfire night

[ As the evening wears on and the sun starts to set, the construction of a bonfire begins and Athessa can be found basking in its warmth, humming or singing along with whatever drunken revelry is taking place around it.

For the most part, the songs that are sung by the fire are group affairs, the likes of which are very magnanimous to those in company who aren't much good at singing. But word has surely gotten around by now that Athessa herself has, as Bastien once claimed, the voice of a songbird that'll break your heart.

Shouldn't be too hard to get her singing. ]
