Where: Resort Gorgeous
When: Last week of August
Summary: Jirachi gave Shrike some very nice resort vouchers to share with his friends!
Rating: G, probably?
Log:

The whole wishing thing had been a neat idea, but Shrike hadn't expected anything to come of it, and definitely not what actually did. Still, he's not the type to waste a gift, so after some coordination (probably not without a bit of help) here he is, and here are Sandalphon, Dimitri, and Ryner.

The only person who knows everyone else well is, well, Shrike. Hopefully this won't be too awkward?

Whoever's idea it was to get Shrike what amounted to a kid-sized wetsuit had been a brilliant idea. Between that, and the fact that the resort is so exclusive there aren't many other guests around, he's almost comfortable spending some time on the beach. Almost.

Still, it does mean he's actually out and doing things, and naturally upon spotting Sandalphon just standing there, Shrike heads right over.

"You can go swimming!"

One guess what he plans to do.

[dejabrewed]

I think I'm fine, thank you.

[ sandalphon knows how to swim, sure, but that doesn't mean he'd like to. but at least shrike was having fun, and that's what mattered most to him. ]

But you look excited to go in. Don't let me hold you back.

[fayblood]

"You don't want to?"

He's maybe a little confused, seeing as how Sandalphon was just asking what people do at beaches... And, y'know, is wearing swimwear, himself.

[dejabrewed]

Not right now, at least. [ a shrug. he only dressed in his swimwear as to not bring any attention to himself, but that's beside the point. ] I just wanted to know more before I settled on an activity.

[fayblood]

"Oh."

Shrike considers that for a moment.

"I think some people play in the sand? Or just sit on the beach..."

He clearly doesn't understand the appeal of that last option.

[dejabrewed]

Ah, as a manner of people watching. I see. [ unlike shrike, sandalphon sees the appeal immediately. ] What are you going to do now, Shrike?

[fayblood]

"Swimming!"

The response is immediate. Shrike has been fascinated by these large, warm bodies of water since first encountering them, but chances to enjoy a proper swim have tended to largely elude him.

[dejabrewed]

Again, don't let me stop you. In fact, I may join you later, depending on how I feel.

[ which isn't exactly a lie; the water did appeal to him. it wasn't every day that he'd be on such an extravagant trip as this one, after all. ]

[fayblood]

"Oh. Okay...."

On the one hand, Shrike kind of wants to be sure Sandalphon is having fun, too. On the other hand, the beach and the water beyond are right there...

... He might technically be seventeen years old now, but sometimes the childishness of his apparent physical age wins out. So after a moment or so of hesitation just to be sure, he's promptly heading for the shore.
