[390] open beach mingle;
[Welcome newbies and today-only newbies alike, while you're getting accustomed to the sights and sounds here's a few more. Rebecca opens a channel on the communicator with a bright sunny view of herself on the beach, water in the background and bright blue eyes focused on the lens. While she talks she'll swing the view around, letting snippets of the set up of a volleyball net be seen as well as a few tables worth of baked goods (thank you Chuck) and a sexy redhead boyfriend working grill.]

Hey guys. If you're looking for something to do or want some free food, come by the beach in sector one. My name's Rebecca to make introductions short and we're having a fun get together that's open ended, mostly so I can work on my tan. [She winks. There's more to it than that but she can elaborate later to the people honestly interested. And with a hopeful bite of her lip:] If you remember me from any time before, let's catch up too? We've got some drinks and when it starts to get dark I'm going to try and dig a fire pit. No wardens are around to tell me not to light things on fire so that's exactly what I'm going to do.

[OOC: Rebecca's network replies will have their own thread down below, and you're totally invited to make whatever you'd like of the post in your own comments as well. It's something of a beach party/ mingle with food (pies and the like, courtesy of Chuck), drinks, beach sports and tanning and Becca digging a fire pit later on for people interested. The beach has barbeques (also one manned by Aidan), huts and cabanas and a few harmless fish in the water as well.]

I. THE SET UP

[From early noon onward Rebecca will be at the beach as announced above, but before that she's running some early errands that include popping in and out of the Daffodil Dive to see if Chuck needs any help and from there hauling some ice and other last minute items from the stores to the beach in a pair of flip flops, a bikini and one of Aidan's shirts stolen as a cover up. You can encounter her on the way to the beach or as she first sets things up, or even shortly after her above message if you happen to be there by chance! Know a good way to start a barbeque going, or a trick for keeping sand out of the food?]

II. VOLLEYBALL

[Rebecca's hauled her cookies to the beach but she's not about to just sit and get a tan, no- she's set up a volleyball net and is happy to try and recruit nearby people into playing a game or two with her. Decked out in a strappy bikini that's just waiting to give her unsightly tanlines, she's energetic and jovial in her manipulative attempts to draw people into playing on her team. All in good fun, of course.]

III. BEACH SNACKS

[During the day the food's set out and grilled up on demand, and peckish Rebecca makes her way down the line picking out vegetarian options and snacking on fruit. Dish balanced in one hand, napkins in the other, she points at a soda while juggling both and trying to keep her sunglasses from sliding down off the crown of her head. She's already lost a flip flop, too.] Can you pass me one of those? Thanks!

IV. FIRE PIT

[Finally as the day draws to a close and whether or not she's come and gone from the beach, she'll be there as the sun sets to help get a fire pit going after laboring in the sand with other volunteers (if she could coil them in) to get some nice fire action going for the marshmallows, hotdogs and beer sipping to occur in peace. She'll be poking the fire and roasting a marshmallow or two, determined to make smores for all those around her.]

[There's volleyball? Jack is there. He's been a bit quiet the last couple of days, working through things with Ianto and Martha, but this seems like a good opportunity to get back into remembering how to have fun.

He wanders up, completely unselfconscious in his Speedos and nothing else, equally unashamedly ogling Rebecca's bikini.]

Need a volunteer for your team?

[Oogle away, you've met your potential match in being unashamed to flaunt nature's bodily gift; she plants her hands firmly on her hips and flashes him a bright grin, to boot. Some of the fondest memories of this beach she's already made in similar situations, messing around in a game of volleyball with him.]

Hell yeah, though I'd say you'd be good opposition too. But if we're on the same team we can call ourselves something cheeky.

	[This is what he likes about her. It's nice to have someone who'll take his oggling and throw it right back at him.] Ooh yeah, we should definitely have a team name! Uh... Streaking into the Lead? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2016-08-24 03:54 pm UTC (link)
	People could call us Streakers for short. [She grins crookedly; they don't need to live up to that name, but-- nobody's saying they wouldn't.] Does Ianto play ball? Or is he more the ref type. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2016-08-24 04:11 pm UTC (link)
	[His smile turns wicked.] They could, couldn't they? Why didn't I think of that? [He winks, and then sobers, because any thought of Ianto tends to make him sober at the moment.] Ianto is more the sit on the sidelines and cheer because he's been forced to sort. He really isn't an outdoorsy type at all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2016-08-25 02:03 pm UTC (link)
	Sweet, our own personal cheerleader. [She smiles though.] I know the type, used to work with someone like Ianto before too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2016-08-27 05:14 pm UTC (link)
	Perhaps I should get him a little cheerleader's outfit. With pompoms. He'd love that. [Not.] Yeah? You had a Ianto too? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2016-08-28 12:32 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, his name's Shaun. He's mostly behind a desk and probably better off there but I won't say he can't take care of himself when he needs to. But geez, him and Ianto would be two peas in a pod. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	foreverjack 2016-08-28 06:50 am UTC (link)
	They sound pretty identical. Well, I guess, if you ever miss your Shaun, you can borrow my Ianto! [He glances around.] Doesn't seem like there's anyone else wanting to play at the moment. Wanna play one on one for a bit, see if we can attract some more players over with our gorgeous half-naked bodies? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2016-08-28 04:03 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, let's get over there and entice already. [She snickers, but is happy to go on and play some rounds.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ it's been a long time since Clay saw these walls. it's been a long time since he's seen here. ] [ Just out of the corner of her eyes, she'll see him, standing at the edge of the beach with his arms crossed, leaning on a tree. his blue eyes are unmistakable as is the vicious, cruel smirk on his lips as he watches her like a hawk. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[While it's not a sour feeling to lay eyes on him, it's something prickly and unpleasant at first instinct. She'd never consider him a sight she'd regret seeing though -- just quickly exhausting. She loves him all the same, former teammate and assassin alike, but the bleeding effect... the cycles, the struggle. That all becomes real again to her when she sees him and it winds her a little. Here in the middle of a barbeque, mundane and ordinary. She's slipping away from the Assasin life after being here so long. She's equal parts ashamed and oddly relieved with every passing second that happens.

Yet she still has it in her core to try and escape this place. So she steels herself with that last little bit of a reminder in her core, unshaken as she trots over barefoot in the sand and buttoning up the plaid shirt she's wearing halfway, just shy of covering her navel.] Hey.

	[III. There's this tall very Indian-looking man who volunteered to help with the food pretty much instantly on arrival, but as soon as he hears the request he puts his utensils down to grab a can for her, turning Rebecca's way with a friendly smile.] Yes, of course-- (Reply to this) (Parent)

	[!!! Oh no, how inattentive of him not to notice her before she spoke when she so clearly needs a hand.] --Should you really be carrying so much all at once? [Holding off giving her the can because that might be a Bad Idea.] May I hold something for you, please? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[You caught her right before she was about to try and stick napkins in her mouth too but you know what, probably for the better. She raises her brows and she's stubbornly determined to say that she's fine with a nod of her head. But don't you love the way her plate's just starting to slope to one side?]

Yeah- I think I'm. [Oops, she tries to fix the plate.] Good? Good-I'm good. Ish.

[Yeah no he'll just have to be a little rude and ignore her words, heaven forgive him. He walks up to her, holding out a hand.]

Please. [Can he take the plate from her? He'll take the plate from her.]

There truly is a myriad of foods to try, is there not? There are many I have never seen before, myself. But still, it is better to take two turns rather than try to carry it all at once.

	[Okay, okay, she accepts the help.] Fair enough-- but, well. Today's been long and complicated for me. But I see your point and I guess I should do that, huh? I'm Becca, you're a new arrival? I don't think I've seen you around. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	1/2 bettersebastian 2016-09-03 02:43 pm UTC (link)
	Namaste, miss Becca. I am sorry; I should have greeted you properly before this. [Now he can't bow as he should, with both hands full. He dips his head slightly - that'll have to do in place of a respectful bow.] My name is Agni, and yes, I arrived here only a few hours ago. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	bettersebastian 2016-09-03 02:47 pm UTC (link)
	[His smile softens and he adds, sympathetically:] I can only imagine it must be very chaotic for the people here, for so many new arrivals to suddenly appear... especially if some of those are people you might know from home. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	needmymp3 2016-09-05 03:59 am UTC (link)
	Right? [She softens the squaring of her shoulders and shifts to move over to get settled sitting somewhere so he doesn't have to hold her stuff very long.] Run into anyone you know? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[He follows after her, this being a team effort and all. Not that he'd have anything against holding her things for a longer while. To her question, he nods.]

A good friend and his master. Mr Sebastian and earl Ciel Phantomhive? They are not here at the beach, [because Ciel doesn't like parties...] but it is my understanding they have been here for some time.

[So she knows them maybe?]

	needmymp3 2016-09-12 11:45 pm UTC (link)
	Master? [Eyebrow raise; what is this, lil' more context please.] Good to know you have friends here though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	1/2 bettersebastian 2016-10-02 11:40 am UTC (link)
	[He nods. He's very lucky, yes!] I am most fortunate to meet them here also, and to have them guide me in this new, unknown place. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	bettersebastian 2016-10-02 11:42 am UTC (link)
	[...?] ...Yes? [Did he say something wrong? Did he say something weird?] Master Ciel is Mr Sebastian's master. [Don't you have masters and servants in this country.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
