My lily-white butt is too delicate for hours in the sun.

[bearshermark]

Well, I'm thinking more of a night-time bonfire type deal myself. What do you think?

[hardtoignore]

Ooooh! That actually sounds really nice! I'd absolutely be up for that!

Cheddar would probably like playing in the sand, too.

[temptationaccomplished]

Oh, to be young.
This sounds absolutely delightful. I hope you all have fun. Are you celebrating your graduation?

[bearshermark]

No, not really. I just feel like we should all meet up and have a good time together. That would include you.

[temptationaccomplished]

Why, thank you. Perhaps if a few more adults go, I will, but I would hate to impose.

[oh, this kid again. Alec feels kind of bad about it really now that he's had some sleep and no longer actively feels like he's dying. It's not the kid's fault he's brainwashed after all. It's the bureau. Alec shouldn't take his frustration out on him.]

Hope you have a good time.

{a beat and then]

Sorry about before.

[bearshermark]

[Elliott takes awhile to respond, not quite sure what to make of it- and checks to be sure he's not mixing Alec up with anyone else]

It'd be for all of us, if you wanted.

[scotch_egg]

[he makes a face]

I don't like beaches. Too much sand. It gets everywhere and then you trod it all over the carpet-- and everyone underestimates the ocean. It's a bloody deathtrap. Currents and riptides and jellyfish and God knows what else. You don't even want to know how polluted it is, especially around the city. Why would you want that water next to your skin? All that in and out of the water makes me ill to look at it.



[which is to say]

No, thanks.

YES.

BOOZE?

[bearshermark]

[He's underage, but also not going to ruin a chance to get more adults on board]

If you bring em.

[chenqing_player]

I'll make sure to guard it with my life from ones who should not have.

[He knows how to be responsible.]

Bonfireeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[does he seem excited?]

A beach party, huh? I'm super in for that. Haven't been to the beach in a long time.

[bearshermark]

Heck yeah! Think we could use it after all of this.

You think you'd be down for playing something?

[traceofeffort]

Oh, totally. I need the break before I punch something. Or someone.

Playing something might be good! Beach volleyball is traditional but still a lot of fun, or. I'm good for just about anything else. A sandcastle might be good...

[darkforcerising]

Hmmm. I'm not a fan of sand...

[bearshermark]

IT'S THE BEACH.

[darkforcerising]

And it's covered in sand.

[ashenscipher]

I love this idea.

[bearshermark]

Great!! The more the merrier. I think we should all get to hang out for fun.

[ashenscipher]

Lord, when was the last time we did that? It'll be a break from... everything.

[howkickassiam]

what if best idea ever

[bearshermark]

Heck yeah!

Quick clarifying question: you're an adult, right?

[darkenedmoon]

And how were you planning to pay for all this?

[Really, Elliott has dealt with this sort of thing before; he should be well aware that while this question is definitely loaded, Yotsuyu's just playing with him. In her true drama queen fashion!]

Keep an eye on the weather. I can get certain things arranged.

[She won't go into boring details, but things like permits and maybe a lifeguard...can't be too safe, after all.]

[bearshermark]

I have some of my allowance still!

And uh, I was actually gonna ask you for a loan to cover the rest. I'm definitely going to get a job this summer, so I'd pay you back for sure!
