With all parties more or less in agreement, it was time to settle down and
party. Admittedly, a beach party hadn't originally been in the books, but Alise had been prepared for -some- kind of celebration of sorts for what she had thought to be their victory over the reservoir cryptid... though said cryptid had gotten away in the end. Well, gotten away in theory, but Alise preferred to think that it had been intimidated by the sheer display of power the three of them had shown, and retreated to whatever depths it had came from.
Still a legit enough reason to celebrate, or something.
Regardless of the actual cause for celebrations, beach towels were set down, and snacks were set out. Etoile, delighted to get to spend some time on two legs now that she had grown accustomed to it, had changed to her civilian form, already decked out in a cute swimsuit picked out for her the other day, with the addition of floaties on her arms, as swimming was still a new thing to her. Likely, she'd be doing more splashing around than actual swimming, but fun times would be had either way.
All in all, despite things not going as originally intended, this would be a nice and fun hour or so to wind down!
