LET'S GET TO THE GOOD STUFF! THE PARTY!

THE BUFFET
No, don't worry, Shiro did none of the cooking. He probably coordinated with Hunk and with local delivery places. Fruit is plentiful. Snacks, too -- probably a massive amount of dips to go with them. There's sandwiches, salads (fruit, regular and pasta), rolls, and something that looks like fried tofu. Or whatever the Pokemon world version is. A separate table is set aside for the pokemon -- they're not left out of the buffet! It's covered in treats as well as general food.

Last, but not least, is the dessert table, crowned with a cake, and many, many cupcakes.

A drink cooler is off to one side, and, because this is a Shiro Party, nothing alcoholic is included. It's presided over by a watchful Omanyte. Bribe him with a snack, and maybe he'll overlook you stealing some ice for your beer.


THE GRILL
The meat station! Someone (probably Krieg) has set up a grill for any kind of meat or vegetable. Step up and take your place, claim your spatula and prove yourself a PokeGrill Master! Or snag a burger. Up to you.


BEACH GAMES
It's the beach, so there's gonna be Volleyball. The net may look like a hammock someone "borrowed" from their old landlady, but it works. Hopefully you won't mind sharing the court with some of the local Incineroar. They want to play too... but they're huge. And made of muscle. If volleyball isn't your speed, there's always swimming! The water's clear, beautiful, and full of local fish... pokemon. There are more than a few Spheals bobbing around out there too, in case you need a round, friendly floating device! Or you could build a sandcastle! Go crazy! Just don't set anything on fire.


DANCE???
You know, when there's a party, there's probably music. Someone (read: Blue the Gallade) pulled out a stereo, and started blasting it out over the beach. Maybe he wants to drown out the background music, or maybe he's just being Blue. Either way, now there's music. There's firm sand, or the porch. So get out there and shake it! If you're lucky enough to know a song, then, by all means, karaoke your heart out. No one will judge.



Then, when night falls...

BONFIRE
Of course, as promised, there's a bonfire. The wood has been stacked up all day long, and when the sun sets, one of the local Incineroar sets it alight. It's pretty big. There's plenty of sharpened sticks nearby, as well as big bags of marshmallows. Maybe there's graham crackers and chocolate, somewhere. But mostly, there's marshmallows. Park yourself down and enjoy!

STARGAZING
Matt has set up a telescope a ways from the bonfire. Feel free to observe some of the fantastic celestial things the Islands have to offer! Feeling romantic? There's plenty of room to pull up a blanket and cuddle while you watch the stars. Just... make sure you're far enough from the ocean if you fall asleep. Wouldn't want to get washed away by the high tide.




GENERAL INFO:

> the island is home to a ton of Voltorbs, thanks to Jean's starter
> the house is open for people to use the facilities, so to speak, but the party is happening on the beach
> the party is open to all! If you have a way to get to the islands, you're welcome!

I - Prep Time

For most of the time before the party, Matt is running around like a nut, making sure that things are set up, and that all of the details have been taken care of. If a lot of people are coming to this thing, it needs to be right. He can be found doing pretty much anything other than actual cooking.

II - Party part One

For the first part of the party, he's greeting people, being the host that he technically is. When one's fiance throws a party, it does make one a de facto host. Mostly he's making sure that people are settling in, know where everything is, and are having fun.

III - Nightfall

Once night falls, however, Matt pulls to the side, sets up his telescope and starts talking. He's in his element, answering whatever questions people have, about stars or space pokemon, or just about being an astronaut. It's clear that this is what he really enjoys. After about half an hour, he's surrounded by some chilling wild Minior, lazily orbiting around him like moons around their planet.

Buffet

FCAB has come strutting to the party, and is set up fairly close to the buffet, enjoying the shade from Colossal Treetrunk, who immediately marched over to stand next to it. A pair of Aerodactyls sit on top of it, but they're being quiet and simply watching right now, rather than screeching.

Jean is inside, manning the counter himself, for anyone who wants a fancy iced coffee today.

Dance

And why is Jean manning the counter instead of Robbie, you ask? Because Robbie and his band are busy setting up. The band consists of Robbie himself, a shiny Oricorio named Dance Crimes, and a shiny Sandygast named Goth Sandcastle, who is holding a plastic knife instead of a shovel. Together, they are Tears of A Thousand Pokemon, the newest goth metal band in the world.

Think Evanescence, except performed by Pokemon. That's what they'll be playing, and doing their absolute best to drown out Blue's boombox.

Bonfire

Once things have settled down a little, and the music competition is over, Jean settles down by the bonfire, a sharpened stick in one hand and an Irish coffee in the other. What? He's eighteen now! He can drink!

WATERMELON SMASHING + Kazuki OTA! (will match style)

[personal profile] forsaintcecilia 2019-07-13 03:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Crack open a Watermelon!

As promised, Kazuki has brought the watermelon!

...A lot of watermelon. He got a little overexcited about it when he saw that the fruit around here didn't cost an arm and a leg like it does back home, and ended up with more than he originally intended. But that was okay! It meant that whoever wanted a shot would be able to give the game a go.

It's basically like a pinata, except it's just on the ground. Kazuki has the blindfold and the bat, and will be happy to turn you in circles until you have no idea which way is which anymore. And then he'll help you eat the watermelon, if you need assistance in that department.

Buffet & Grill

Kazuki is kinda past the "growing boy" phase of his life, but he's not about to change his eating habits because of it. He's grabbed a big plate of a little bit of everything that's been offered, along with a disproportionately large serving of sweets. He eats with all the gusto of someone who has an older brother who's in professional sports, ie: With a steady but admirable pace. Otherwise, if he were home, he wouldn't make it to the seconds before they'd already been devoured.

He'd love to compliment the chef, if they're around somewhere!

Beach Games

If Kazuki isn't eating, he's out playing!

Undaunted by the Incineroar, he tries his hand at volleyball. He's pretty good at it! As long as the Pokemon are holding back a little... He also can be found boogieboarding, either on the small waves that lap up at the shore, or a little further out to sea. There's an exceptionally pretty Lapras that's out there with him, who he swims back to occasionally for a ride and a break.

Later, when he's more or less tuckered out from swimming and running around, he might try his hand at building a sandcastle. He's not good at it. At all.

Bonfire

By the end of the day, Kazuki has exhausted himself, and he's pleasantly somnolent as he enjoys the bonfire. He has a blanket tossed over his shoulders, and a long stick to poke the fire with, as well as roast the occasional marshmallow for s'mores. If anyone prefers a more laid-back Kazuki to hang with, now is the time to catch him.

Pokemon Roster: Shimizu (Lapras), Aria (Altaria), Luna (Noivern), Maestra (Furret), Kahoko (Kanto Vulpix), Tsukimori (Absol)

YOU KNOW WHAT I AM HERE FOR

[personal profile] schachmeister 2019-07-13 05:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[That is an absolutely preposterous amount of watermelons.

They say birds of a feather flock together, but so do round things of a roundness if one coconut checking out Kazuki's massive stash of watermelons is anything to go by. Armin has lived here long enough to know what a watermelon is, but he isn't sure why Kazuki has a whole field of them. Does he just really, really like them?]


Are you going to eat all of those?
schachmeister: (pic#12383688)

I need some pokemon interaction so that is what this thread is for.

[personal profile] schachmeister 2019-07-13 05:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Coming as a surprise to literally nobody ever, goth metal is not Armin's Thing. He is too much of a grandpa to appreciate the raw, searing riffs and the emotional pain of the singers (also, he doesn't speak pokemon). He's also polite enough though to just Walk Away. Go Elsewhere. He might not appreciate the absolute hipness of ToATP, but he can see that others do seem to enjoy it. Somehow. Well, some of the pokemon do, at least. All of the Lotad brood is hopping and bopping in front of the band, kicking all of their little feet.

Not so much for Amelia the Oricorio though. She is elegant. She is classy. And she is absolutely Not going to be listening to this racket. This is not proper music. It is an insult to proper music. You cannot even dance to this (and being an Oricorio, she knows about dancing) and it just must go.

So, have one overly prim, absolutely haughty Oricorio striding up to the band (but in an absolutely elegant and graceful manner), snapping her feather fans in front of her beak with a soft hem to get their attention.

"Wha?!" Matt freezes, startled for a moment before relaxing back into Shiro's arms. "Sorry, just trying to take care of some last-minute details. Probably unnecessarily, but." A pause, and a shrug. "We were almost out of toilet paper in one of the bathrooms."

[This year, Pidge is prepared. And also determined. But mostly prepared. Because this day is going to be a fierce battle between herself and the angry orb of death and fire in the sky.

She's got on a giant hat. Shades. An oversized t-shirt (that's probably Hunk's) hanging over her frame. A pair of swimming trunks (that are definitely Lance's). Flip-flops. Still visible patches of sunscreen on whatever part of her skin happens to remain uncovered. And multiple flotation devices tucked under both arms.

Let the battle begin.]

"Sorry... I didn't really mean to make anyone uncomfortable." He does pause, though, breathing deeply.

"I'll be alright. I just need to finish this stuff and then I'll sit down."

[The thing about being sent home for a good long period of time, and home being an intergalactic warzone, was that it tended to hone one's reflexes. Pidge may look awfully frumpy at the moment, but she is also armed with several floaty tubes and a kickboard. So when she senses that something is approaching, she's ready.

And promptly drops everything but the kickboard so she can swing it around at her assailant. She aims for just over her head, because honestly she's assumed it's Lance out to grab her and haul her off into the water. But for Gallade, that means the swing is closer for its head.

Oops?]

[personal profile] pidge_out 2019-07-14 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
Lan-

[She's got a scold-y rant right on the tip of her tongue, which is abruptly cut off when she realizes that the lanky, flailing limbs do not in fact belong to Lance. She freezes as well, dropping her kickboard and her eyes just as wide and surprised behind her sunglasses.]

Oh-- Oh gosh, I'm sorry, I thought you were someone else!

[personal profile] pidge_out 2019-07-14 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
[If she could hear Blue call her that, she'd be dying right now.

Fortunately she can't, so she just-- looks really apologetic as she pulls the shades off so he can see her face a little better.]


Look, I'm really sorry I scared you. But I'm not gonna hurt you, okay?

[She'll even offer him a hand to help him get up. See? All good!]
pidge_out: (pidge-260)

[personal profile] pidge_out 2019-07-14 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
What the--

[He succeeds this time. Pidge had dropped her guard for a moment and apparently that's all the Pokémon needed. Her hat is whipped right off her head, her hair immediately frizzes up in the humidity, and the young paladin is quickly scrambling to steal her own hat back.]

Hey!! I need that!

[Where's Rover when she needs him.]

That's very kind of Armin, to simply walk away. Don't like, don't read listen, and everyone can live in peace.

This Oricorio, though. This sassy, sassy Oricorio, trotting up and flicking her feather fans around. How dare she? How very dare.

Fortunately, Dance Crimes is also an Oricorio, and a shiny one to boot. She struts right up to Amelia, snaps her own feather fans--carefully decorated with white skulls against her black feathers--and makes a shooing gesture. Go on, get out of here, grandma. You just don't understand what good music really is.

In the background, Goth Sandcastle lets loose with an especially loud, mournful wail, and waves his plastic knife ominously at Amelia. Go away, you square!

"Shiro!"

Is Jean leaning in for a semi-sloppy, half-drunk hug? You bet he is! C'mere, Shiro, and hug your son.

"This was a great idea."
notvaljean: (smug hipster douchebag)

beach games!

[personal profile] notvaljean 2019-07-14 12:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Jean is out in the water too, riding around on Fisch's head while Fat Ice Dog and Triton bob happily in the waves next to him, and when he sees Kazuki, he turns Fisch around and steers towards him.

"Hi!"

Long time no see, buddy. Jean dives off Fisch's head, freeing the Gyarados to swim further out, and grabs Fat Ice Dog and Triton under each arm, using them as floatation devices as he kicks over to Kazuki.

"Is that Lapras yours or one of Armin's?"
