PARTY LIKE A ROCK STAR

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.

[actually she's talking to you. speaking with the best in grudge-holding would be a lopsided conversation with herself.

haha. ha. aren't we just full of wit and verve tonight.]

[keep telling yourself that.

like oscar wilde tonight.

[it's only the truth.

I can't wait for you to be sentenced to hard labor in Australia then.]

[personal profile] tortileghostwriter 2011-09-15 01:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[no it is not.

rude.

[identity profile] bookshrew.livejournal.com 2011-09-15 01:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[yes it is so.

you brought it on yourself. although if you'd like rude, Rose deciding that getting a handle on herself is more important than backing up her statements and breaking the kiss probably qualifies.]

[personal profile] tortileghostwriter 2011-09-15 04:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[nope not in the slightest.

have some uh. blinking and a barely concealed "oh god did I really just do that" sort of look.

[YEAH YOU REALLY DID THAT ASSHOLE keeping herself from having to make expressions and/or look at him by brushing the sand off her arms]

Yes, well. There you go.

That sounds about right, yes. Now what we were discussing before? [CAN THIS BE IGNORED LIKE IT NEVER HAPPENED? ROSE IS WILLING TO FIND OUT]

[personal profile] tortileghostwriter 2011-09-15 06:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[he'd love to ignore it, really, but right now the idea and the fact she's trying it kind of hurts. and how does david deal with negative shit? bottle it up and/or get angry. He's just going to fix the positioning of his shades, stand up, put on a practiced sort of...slight frown, and turn back to his synths and pull the headphones back on, one ear uncovered.]

Nothing of consequence.

[dismissive.

yeah he'll ignore it, even if he doesn't like the idea much. and even if he doesn't like the fact that he doesn't like the idea of ignoring it. act like it never happened? less likely.

Then I suppose that I should go see if there's anything salvageable about my hair or this swimsuit. Thank you for forcing that to be a concern of mine, by the way.

[she stands as well, angled a little away from him and still brushing at stray patches of sand on her shoulders. Rose feels like she's made a misstep despite apparently sidestepping everything, and she likes that about as much as she's liked anything she's been feeling in the past few minutes.

this beach party was a bad idea. she really should have learned her lesson from the last social gathering she went to.]

[personal profile] tortileghostwriter 2011-09-15 08:24 pm (UTC)(link)
You're very welcome. You need only ask in the future if the need arises.

[tone forced flat and even. not looking up from his equipment at all.

life is hard.

I'll be sure to take you up on that should I ever find another suit I'm equally fond of. Good night.

[and with that she leaves, posture ramrod straight and step quick.

it's hard and Rose doesn't really want to understand.]

[personal profile] tortileghostwriter 2011-09-15 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[when he's sure she's gone, he slams his fist down on the table.

well at least that's mutual.

[ floating over to david with an orange creamsicle in hand HEY GUYS I'M FASHIONABLY LATE TO THE PARTY ]

What's up with you?

[ BEST TIME TO COME IN AMIRITE? ]

[personal profile] tortileghostwriter 2011-09-16 10:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[adjusting the bass slider a bit, not looking up.]

A briar came to pierce my side for a few moments and then left again. Nothing that you need to concern yourself over.

[does not want to talk about it.]

Huh. [ blink ] Okay, whatever.

[ A pause. ] What's this song?

[personal profile] tortileghostwriter 2011-09-18 06:18 am (UTC)(link)
The answer to that would be...

[...shit he recognizes it fuck why is it that...]

... Rose of Jericho.

[identity profile] coolsprite.livejournal.com 2011-09-20 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
[ she's never going to get used to your music, davina. ]

Rose of Jericho? What kind of name's that?

[ ... ]





.. D'ya think.. Rose's okay?

[ blue rose, mind you. she doesn't know anything about purple rose yet!! ]

[personal profile] tortileghostwriter 2011-09-20 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
[better than yours.]

An excellent name.

[...and that makes him take pause.]

I... certainly hope so. That's really all that I can do, I don't like it, I'd love to be able to do more, if I could leave this place and return to our session I would do so without a moment's hesitation.




But I can't.

I can't... do anything here.


[david you are drunk.]

[identity profile] coolsprite.livejournal.com 2011-09-20 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
[ don't insult the squiddles soundtrack!! B( ]

Sure.

[ she listens, and she's not sure if david's being open because it's her he's talking to, or if he's..just... being weird. Maybe it's a little bit of both.

Either way, she shrugs- and then for the first time realizes, actually understands, that she is not needed in the session anymore. She did her job. There was no reason for her to go home. There was reason for David, but.. not her. And if David left... he'd be leaving her, too. Just like Bro did. Just like Lalonde senior did. Just like her alpha self did.

Jadesprite mumbles after biting into her creamsicle;
]

... You just have to wait then, I guess. I dunno, they gotta fix that stuff, right? I forgot- I wasn't paying attention when they explained about the timey wimey stuff. But I bet you'll go home. I mean, you have to ... what would they do without you?

[personal profile] tortileghostwriter 2011-09-22 06:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[it is partially because of the former, and his current state definitely has him more than a little weird. So yes, both.

He listens as she speaks, working the turntables and synths--not nearly as practiced as his Strider counterpart, the scratching and beat juggling far less intricate, but the aptitude is definitely there--and queueing up another track.

David takes a long sip from the bottle in front of him--apple juice now, not stout or any of the other potent potables he's broken into over the course of this trip so far.

Part of him thinks his friends might be better off without him. He doesn't particularly care to listen to that part. He knows they need him, for better or for worse, and he needs them just as much. Maybe even more so. He promised himself once that no matter what happened, even if they were to start hating him, he would always be there for them.
]

I've really got no choice in the matter, have I?

Even if we're doomed to failure, we must not, cannot, fail to fight against it. The game will be won, or otherwise broken.


[this is just said...matter-of-factly. he can't muster the usual fire he might put behind that, not right now.]

[identity profile] coolsprite.livejournal.com 2011-09-23 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah.

[ She nods. ]

There's no way in hell we're gonna stop now. We gotta keep fighting 'til there's no more fight left to fight.

[ Hearing herself say that reassures her; even if she isn't needed, she was definitely going to go back. She needed to make sure the alphas would make it through- and if there was even the slightest possibility that her presence was needed, then Jadesprite would do everything in her power to go. ]

You guys are definitely gonna win.

[personal profile] tortileghostwriter 2011-09-24 04:16 pm (UTC)(link)
The alternative simply doesn't bear thinking about.

[identity profile] coolsprite.livejournal.com 2011-09-25 10:22 am (UTC)(link)
Uh huh.

[ She quietly bites her creamsicle. ]

You're pretty talkative today.
