Welcome to Gaia! ::

(Moooooving right along, but are not leaving the beach until michelle forgives luc)
the afternoon grew into the later hours and the sun had shifted closer to the sea. Skotti ran in to the water, surf board ready, and jumped, getting on top of it. He awkwardly paddled out to wait for the wave. Once the wave built up skotti said "This is it! I am gonna AH! -glug-" as the wave promptly pummeled him. He swam back to shore and toweled off "Still don't got it" he said looking back at the wave to see lana riding without a problem "Boss, this is a blast!" he could hear her call to him.
Skotti walked back to his beach chair and watched his gang on the beach.
Lila was finished in being so anti-fun and was making a sandcastle to rival Rom's. her hair had been pulled back into a pony tail and you could see the full spectrum of tattoo's she had gotten over the years. The angel wings on her back that she had gotten after their very first mission in the Blackheart unit, The Blackheart logo on her shoulder, the word "Darkness" on her wrist that she had gotten on one of skotti and lila's concert nights where they had gotten drunk and got each others codenames both tattooed onto them. Skotti looked at the back of her neck and noticed some redness, like a new one had just been done "Huh?" he said getting up to inspect. She was deep in concentration as skotti snuck a peek at the newest ink.
It was actually an addition to an old tattoo of a lock shaped like a heart and a long chain attached to the key. Two charms hung on the chain; one was an eye patch, it looked a few years old, and the other was the newest addition, a mask.
"It's always best to seal things in ink, right skotti?" she said with a smile.
"Guess this means that you are over him, huh?"
"Yeah, I hope someday we can be friends, maybe Michelle will even let me be a bridesmaid"
"Don't hold your breath"
The two laughed and skotti went to go see what the rest of the gang was up to.

Later in the day and after lunch, Waffle was playing in the sand, trying to make a sandcastle and spectacularly failing. She could hear Sabe's snickering from the side. She turned to him with a frustrated look.

"Sabe, why don't YOU try to make this stupid sandcastle?" she asked. Waiting for a reply, she turned back to the standing pile of sand only to see it flatten on its own.

Sabe's snickering turned to outright laughing as he nodded. They switched spots, but Sabe headed closer to the water to get a few things. He returned while carrying an assortment of sea shells, some kelp, and two large sticks. Waffle looked at him as if he were crazy, and he looked back at her with a large grin before getting to work. About fifteen minutes later, the pile of sand that Waffle was working with earlier was reconstructed into a snowman made of sand, complete with seashells as the eyes and nose, the two twigs as the arms, and the kelp wrapped around the sand snowman as if it were a scarf.

Waffle was not amused.

"What the ********?! I asked you if you could make a sandcastle, not a sand snowman!"
Sabe giggled hard in response. "Well you couldn't even make a pile of sand without it falling flat!"

Waffle playfully lunged toward Sabe, causing the latter of the two to spring up and run with her chasing after him.

After lunch Kydre decided to grab her board and join some of the others on the waves. After her second wipe out she opted to hit the sand where she laid down on her back to watch the clouds. "Such tiny little particles so high up in the sky," she said in a sing song voice. She giggled and closed her eyes enjoying the breeze and warmth of the sun.

Faye had walked off from the group after the talking to Ikuinen. Now she was staring down at her small creature. The owl of a strange shade of blue chirped and hopped about along her arms. She would have been excited, jumping up and down, but she was tired. Sighing she got up as the bird flapped up to her head as she walked back to the common area gathered her beach towel and her umbrella and set up on the beach close to the shore. Sighing she laid out on the towel as her owl settled at umbrella, she finally allowed herself to dozed off under it.

Luciano headed back to the Lighthouse after lunch was over. This time he inspected the entire building for Miguel, and when he didn't find him he relaxed and then walked around for a little while. On the second floor, where the light was, he noticed a bed situated next to a window- out of the window he could see everyone up and about the beach. He adjusted his mask a bit then he carried on to walk around a bit more.
He walked over to the balcony that overlooked the control panel just below on the first floor and he stared. He stared at the equipment and he thought about how the Kuros could use this lighthouse as another base of operations, or how he could make this place his very own santuary to get away from the world. He folded his arms and nodded.
"Nice thought." he said to himself.

Romulus' attempt at surfing was comical at best. Rarely was he able to actually stand up on the board, mostly falling into the water face first.

"Now why aren't you down there?" Pen leaned on the window sill looking out to see Michelle on the shore.

While Luciano stared off onto the beach unaware of Pen's arrival. She had been dribbling the ball all the way down to the lighthouse to find no one was joining in. Taking refuge in the lighthouse seem the best since she was a little out of breath. Seeing Luc off in his own world she took advantage of it and popped in hoping to solve the problem.
