PARTY LIKE A ROCK STAR

[dumpsterdives.livejournal.com]

Character(s): ERRYBODY (who signed up! ...or who wants to come, just tag in guys s'all good)

Location: UP IN HERE (aka the beach in Galbadia)

Rating: THROUGH THE ROOF (G to R)

Open/Closed/Finished: OPEN LIKE A MINIBAR

Summary: BEACH PARTY

Three days of sun, sand, and complete, unbridled fun--that was what Kiden had advertised, and she'd delivered. The slice of bright blue beach Nida had found for them stretched on one side into cliffs and a cove on the other, sheltered enough to be easily defensible but open enough not to make them targets. If they felt like exploring, well, the wildlife wasn't too much of a hassle, and apparently the jungle is lovely?

They had tents, food and drinks (lots of drinks) and plenty of other interesting things to last for the next three days--and Kiden, for one, was planning to make the most of it.

[Decked out in a t-shirt, red board shorts, and a pair of shades, Zephyr surveys the scene spread out in front of him. Sure, Fisherman's Horizon had already been pretty damn impressive with all that water, but this?

This is fantastic.

Now then, where is he going to ditch his bags? Swimming might not be a great option, but that's not going to stop Zephyr from wading around in the water.]

Zephyr!

[Rikku's waving at him. She's in the ocean, and is treading water]

Come on in!

fff html.

[easilytriggered.livejournal.com]

[Zephyr waves back at Rikku.]

Gimme a sec.

[He goes to drop off his bags, leaving his shirt and shades with his stuff, before heading back to the water's edge. He wanders in until he's about waist deep and... stops.]

annoying, ain't it?

[greeneyedmecha.livejournal.com]

Come on! You can't swim in the shallow part of it!

[easilytriggered.livejournal.com]

[He looks... perhaps a little uncomfortable at her words.]

I'm fine here.

[greeneyedmecha.livejournal.com]

[Rikku sighs and swims over, coming to stand near by.]

C'mon, can't you swim?

[easilytriggered.livejournal.com]

[He won't answer that question directly, but...]

We don't exactly have large bodies of water in Basel.

[greeneyedmecha.livejournal.com]

[So that's a no.]

Aw, man, that bites. And you haven't taken swimming yet, I bet. [Ding!] I could try and teach you!

[easilytriggered.livejournal.com]

[He looks momentarily startled at her suggestion.]

Out here in the ocean? With... [He shoots a glance over his shoulder at the people there.] With all those people around?

[greeneyedmecha.livejournal.com]

Yeah! I mean, a lake or oasis is a little better for swimming, according to everyone back home, but you can least learn to float out here. [She glances at the people and waves at one] The guys on shore won't mind.

[easilytriggered.livejournal.com]

[Zephyr crosses his arms across his chest protectively before nodding, albeit a little grudgingly.]

Yeah, okay... Fine.

watch Fae do a lot of handwaving here because she can't swim

[greeneyedmecha.livejournal.com]

Awesome! Okay, you're gonna have to go out a little more. Keep going until you almost can't touch the bottom

's all good 8Db

[He gives her an unsure look but walks further into the water. When it gets to about chest level, though, he stops again.]

You are gonna be able to... to help me out if something happens, right?

[Because the last thing he wants is to drown on his first trip to the beach.]

[dumpsterdives.livejournal.com]

[ She wades up next to him, sporting a small bikini and a pleased grin. Not that Kiden doesn't generally carry an air of smug confidence, but there's something about popping a boy's beach cherry that's pretty damn satisfying. ]

What do you think?

[ The water swirls around her thighs; her own stuff has been ditched on the beach at the approximate spot she's decided to build her tent. ]

[easilytriggered.livejournal.com]

[Stuff ditched but no tent pitched just yet, his eyes might be lingering on Kiden's body a bit longer than they really should be, but he eventually drags his eyes back to her face.]

Fucking great.

[Whether he's talking about the scenery or Kiden herself, well... He won't say.]

[dumpsterdives.livejournal.com]

[ It's hard not to notice the way his eyes linger, but she blames the bikini. It's pretty darn tiny, after all. She tugs on his t-shirt. ]

Afraid of sunburn?

[easilytriggered.livejournal.com]

[He gives her a look but doesn't bother to swat away her hand.]

Haven't put on the lotion yet.

[dumpsterdives.livejournal.com]

You'll survive. You can put it on later.

[ Tug tug. Off with his shirt! ]

[easilytriggered.livejournal.com]

--Hey!

[He frowns as she yanks his shirt off and then rubs awkward at his arm.]

At least throw it back to the beach.

[dumpsterdives.livejournal.com]

All right, all right.

[ Bunching it up--and off it goes! Into the sand, juuust out of reach of the waves. If the tide rises, though...

Now it's her turn to let her eyes sweep, but hey, not like she hadn't seen him in his swim trunks about a dozen times when they'd shopped. ]

There, happy now?

[easilytriggered.livejournal.com]

[He makes a mental note to stow it properly before high-tide. It's not the only shirt he brought, but all the same, Zephyr would rather not deal with it all the same.]

Guess so. Gonna blame you if I burn though.

[He rolls his eyes, but he's grinning.]

[dumpsterdives.livejournal.com]

I'll make it up to you. Slather sunblock everywhere.

[ Her tone of voice is sexy--but the waggling, 'ifyouknowwhatimean' eyebrows certainly are not. Yeah, sorry Zeph, she's just messing, you're putting that sunblock on all by yourself. ]

[easilytriggered.livejournal.com]

[He gives her a stony stare and makes a soft "tch!" sound.]

Yeah. Sure you will.

[dumpsterdives.livejournal.com]

What? You don't believe me? I'm wounded.

[ Deeply, deeply hurt. She wades out deeper, before unceremoniously letting her whole body submerge. It takes barely a few seconds before she reappears, shaking herself out like a dog. She turns, grinning, and splashes him. ]

[easilytriggered.livejournal.com]

--Hey, watch it!

[Zephyr holds up his arms in front of his face as Kiden splashes him. He frowns briefly before wading in further and returning the favor, a smirk crossing his features.]
