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.

[ It's a non-answer, but then, so was Florent's. Appropriate conversation for a lively and somewhat off-kilter beach dance.

Out here, he looks a little like he's teleported directly out of the heart of Val Royeaux -- not due to any excessive prim and proper fanciness, and in fact he's not wearing any powders or rouges at all, but he is in peacock satins that stand out bright and rich in this setting, the backdrop of a duller, dire city. An open robe, matching trousers, bare feet, bare chest. ]

Très belle, [ he says. ] And the worst is that she stayed so even after revealing her evil nature, just to taunt me. But is it true? Is it very scandalous?

[ Maybe he will survive this if it is very scandalous. ]

[ While the dance affords opportunity for talk: ]

There is a talking skull in a jar, and there are three mummies in basement, and down the beach a woman is completely naked—and those are just the Nevarran contributions.

[ He assumes, in Skull’s case. ]

We also have—

[ The required steps stop being so generously enabling of conversation. But he keeps on when he’s able. ]

—pirates, and—

[ Hop. ]

—a whole mess of Tevinters—

[ And then they’re back shoulder to shoulder, for a more fluid finish. ]

—and Tevinters who are also pirates, and of course the rifters, and now our very own Orlesian actor.
