Welcome to Gaia! ::

Amelia was certainly impressed at what they'd been able to pull together in such short-notice. The weather was cooperating, there was a nice cool breeze despite the hot sun, and the waves were amazing. Then again, she suspected that you couldn't expect anything different from a place like this.

"At least we can come back from the Outrealm," Amelia thought aloud, reaching into a nearby ice chest and removing a bottle of beer. She tugged the cap off and took a deep swig, letting out a deep, pleased exhale. Transportable iceboxes? In my Fire Emblem? It's more likely than you'd think.

She looked around at everyone before resting one hand on her hip, content to watch the others for the time being. Amelia felt... calm. At peace, even. People were having a good time and there was plenty to eat and drink. She sighed to herself, smiling as she sat down, enjoying the feel of the warm sand between her toes. She crossed her arms over her knees, legs loosely bent so as to not pull them right up to her chest, and held onto her beer with one hand as she watched a few guild members leap into the ocean.

It was nice to have a proper vacation for once.



"I can't believe I'm doing this," Blossom mumbled. She drew the edges of her beach towel more securely around her as she shuffled her way onto the beach, past a pair of girls busily rubbing lotion onto their shoulders. As she sweated lightly under the hot sun, she simply kept her towel around her, eventually plopping down in a relatively-unpopulated area of beach.

She didn't have a swimsuit, of course. She didn't even know how to swim. She'd nearly drowned before, and she was rarely around bodies of water larger than small ponds, when did she have reason to learn now? But of course, Aruna had figured out she was without a vital piece of clothing. Leave it to Aruna to find out something like that. Yet after no uncertain amount of coddling (on her part) and bargaining (on Blossom's part), one ultimatum later, Blossom found herself bundled up on the beach like a miserable, overheated caterpillar desperately trying to pupate.

Eventually it became too much to bear, though, and she reluctantly shed the towel, laying it out in order to sit on it instead. She pulled her legs up to her chest and wrapped her arms around them, trying futilely to hide her soft pink striped bandeau and matching bottoms, complete with little bow detailing at the hips. (Aruna was, after all, good with clothes.)

And that was how Blossom found herself on the beach in a bikini despite not knowing how to swim.

There's a reason Nils preferred winters to summers: ice dragons and heat do not mix. Shorts in the snow? No problem. This? Definitely a problem. While he was grateful for the change of pace (he had to admit, it'd been too long even for him since he went anywhere), with the sun beating down on the beach, he would have almost preferred staying home today.

"Almost" being the key word. ... He just knew he'd be staying in the shade or the water for most of the day.

For now he stood in the shade by the Host Club's table, finishing off his third bottle of water. Though not the most upbeat person today, due to the heat bringing him down, he was trying his best to be the best host he can be, for old time's sake. Goodness knows he's gotten used to the whole song and dance of social events...

He wiped the sweat from his face and began to play his flute, providing a bit of background music for this nice and (hopefully) relaxing beach party.

(( I'll post for my other characters later. Maybe. Debating it. ))

AAAAH! Now this actually was feeling good. The warm sun, a bag of freshly bought carrots. How could the young taguel not be happier about the day? There didn't seem to be any hostility nearby, so he could actually relax and enjoy some good ole carrots and sunshine to himself. Heck, that breeze was also feeling great.

Taking one glance around, he found a nice tree to sit on by as he pulled out one of his carrots, a smile over his face. "Time to dig in!" He called out, before starting into the carrot. At least no one was around to rain on his parade.

"It's the beach!!!" a voice called out, arms pumped into the air with a whoop. In one hand held a box containing bait and tackle, and on his back was a fishing pole meant for fishing in the ocean.

Sunil was not a man of the ocean, but as a cat he could understand the bountiful pleasures the seas held. For instance, fish. All you can eat fish. Tasty, scrumptious aquatic animals just ripe for sampling... and eating. Despite his fears of water, he was quite the fisherman (with a pole. What, you thought he could just lean waaaaaaay over the edge of the water and swipe at it to catch a fish like you see those old masters do? Well, maybe if he wasn't afraid of water...). But his skills were even better with preparing the fish into yummy seafood.

Yes, seafood was his specialty in cooking. Fires from wars were uncontrolled and dangerous to his health. But a fire from cooking, so long as he contained it in a safe manner, was perfectly okay. He didn't look like much but his seafood skills, if put to the test, could probably match Tibarn's cooking ability.

Maybe. 'No, probably not' you say? Hah. How little you know. It was one of Sunil's 'Seakrit Skills'. Thirty-three in all.

He wandered over to where Leon and several others were gathered and listened in to what the short guy was saying. Friendly beach volleyball competition? Sounded fun! He wanted in! But wait! What about the fish? No no the fish can wait! It's time for fun and games!

The cat looked over at Leon expectantly, wondering who the Watch captain was gonna pick to play on his side.

“I think your clothes look fine, really.” Sue told Blossom, trying to encourage her. “I actually wasn’t sure about wearing one of these myself, but FD insisted…”

She remembered the incident where the entire host club voted on something to wear for this, actually. Since it was plenty warm out on the beach, it was of course, decided that swim suits were the only option. Blossom was right about one thing: this was different than relaxing by a lake or a river, even.

“This reminds me of when my father and I would fish with grandpa Dayan.” Sue said, breathing a sigh of happy nostalgia. “When we weren’t hunting or training with our bows, the three of us would cast our lines and see what we could catch. We talked about a lot of things. You wouldn’t believe it but, Father actually smiled.”

Part of Sue wondered if there was a chance she would see either of her relatives here. So far, everyone she knew was slowly trickling into the Host Club’s biggest celebration yet. The gathering, along with Nils’s soothing music made for a very sweet, peaceful time for all.


Leon chuckled at the mention of work, thankful he was able to leave it behind. “I know it feels great not to be at my desk for a change!” he exclaimed happily. “Sometimes I feel like I live there.” In truth, that statement was probably accurate. If there was one thing all the fighting led to – it was paperwork, mountains of it. But now that he was here, Leon could escape it. That was a vacation in itself. And for once, he didn’t care whether it was actually getting done or not.

“Waitin’ for someone, you said?” he asked. “Well, I guess we’re in the same boat there.” Leon felt like he was waiting for everyone, but they would show up.

Something else showed up instead. A volleyball came pretty close to his immediate vicinity, and he was surprised on how fast the thing was hit. A little redhead was speaking to him, and they seemed quite confident to challenge him to a doubles match.

“Well, well, ya think ya can spike a serve faster than Eyris’s finest, eh?” Leon smirked with confidence and then noticed Sunil out of the corner of his eye.

“Oi, Sunil. How about we show ‘em what we’re made of?” he said, extending the invitation to a fellow watchman, of course. “For all fun and games, if ya understand.” He winked at the last part. While it was a game, Leon intended to win. He cast his own beach ball aside for now, leaving it for anyone who wanted to play.

Then another beach ball came soaring in out of nowhere. With his quick reflexes, Leon managed to catch it before it could hit the female on the opposite team. The Watch Captain’s eyes traveled in the direction where it came from, to find a girl with green hair, who was grinning ear to ear. She was just having fun, he told himself.

”Ya gotta be careful with this.” He said, gently tossing it back in Tiki’s direction. “Don’t want to lose it, hittin’ it that hard…” as he said those last words, a little idea sprang in his mind.

“Say! Do ya know how to play volleyball? We’ve got teams formin’ here and it could be fun.” He leaned in and whispered. “It’d be more fun if ya joined me.”

Leena staked her claim on the beach as soon as she arrived. She couldn’t help be in that shop keeper mindset of “location, location, location.” It was almost an instinct that never truly left her, even on vacation. While soaking up the sun underneath an umbrella, she’d taken a drink from the Host Club and was slowly sipping it a way.

She caught a glimpse of what was happening between Leon and the redheaded boy. While her longtime friend was working his persuasive skills in getting others to join his team, Leena could not help but feel kind of sorry for his opponents. No one had stepped up to join them so far.

”I’m in too!” Leena said out loud. She stepped over to the girl and the redhead, grinning with confidence. “I’ll be playing on this team! It is just a friendly match after all.” She gazed back at the girl and the redhead. “I think I might have seen you both before, now that I think of it. Especially you, Miss. You’re one of my regulars, you always come in for a restore staff. Well, I guess I should return the favor of customer loyalty!”

Melethia had already gotten into a bikini, though she wasn't the biggest fan of it, but Anna wouldn't let her have anything else. At this point she had already had one bottle of beer and was on her second one. She noticed a crowd started to form not too far from her. With a grin on her face she made her way over to the said crowd, even though she knew a few of the people that were over there. The half-dragon was only here for relaxation and fun.


Clara was not ok with what she was wearing. It was either this outfit or nothing else. She felt almost naked with this bikini. The reasoning behind this didn't even sit well with her. Telling her that it would be a shame not to show off her body was not a good idea. It felt like a guilt trip to her when they were telling her she looked good and telling her it was the only way to enjoy the beach..

Now here she was, sitting under a tree covering her body with a towel. She wasn't sure what anyone would think about she was wearing.


Sain on the other hand was all fine with showing off his body. He knew he had a well built body for the job he was doing. Though, he was already drinking up the beers. He should have known better though, because when he's drunk, he hits on anything he finds remotely attractive, male or female. If Kent was around he was normally a target of Drunk Sain's flirting.

The paladin had made his way over to Leon. At this point the alcohol was started to affect him. In Sain's mind, his captain was starting to suddenly look good to him.

"Captain!" He yelled even though he was withing talking distance. "You look very nice today. Did you do something different?" Sain took another swig of the bottle he was holding.

Well hey a break was needed for plenty of people. And on top of that going to the beach certainly seemed worthwhile. It wasn't a time of war so he could actually get this time off. He had a sneaking suspicion some others would end up showing as well. There was no reason for him to be the only one from the Guard to be here.

Rather, there certainly seemed to be some sort of scene forming out there. And it didn't take that much to realize what was going on. "Volleyball eh? All right then." He said, bringing his gaze over the teams. There were a couple watch members there. So therefore, he'd just choose the other team. "You're in need of members right? I'll join your side." He added, extending his hand towards Not Ewan and Rin.



He was reminding himself never to try and make a deal like this ever again. That one, tricky lady certainly got the best of him. The rumors about that red haired merchant devil were true it seemed. "...Gotta pay off that debt somehow." He added with a sigh, before cracking a smile somehow. Right in front of him was a beach of potential customers.

"YOUR OUTREALMS SNACK SHACK IS OPEN! We got the best deals here! So feel free to come and stop by if you need some sort of refreshment!"

This was CERTAINLY exciting! The last time Naina had been to the beach...well she didn't really know! She heard one thing though, and that was to keep an eye on one person. "I'm sure he'll be doing his job. Mama always gets her deals done one way or another~!" She chirped, before looking on out to the beach. For now, she would just wait till the perfect person would appear. And then she would pounce!
