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.

"Aye, it is."

There is some minor confession he thinks to make: I've never spent time at a beach like this. There is a difference to seeing the sea from the deck of a ship as opposed to wading in the surf.

"You look content," he tells her, turning a little from the stretch of sea to look at her properly. "Have you been well?"

Sonia hums thoughtfully, smiling. There is a settling in her expression, something comfortable, and she shrugs lightly.

"Well enough," she says brightly, and here, at least, there is no trace of the small and lonely Sonia from the end of her grand party. "I've had the fortune of good company even in trying times. And how about you? I'm pleased to see you came along."
