Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Beach Bar))

Utter madness. RoChan had never laid witness to a pie eating contest, actually ANY eating contest, and was horrified yet incredibly intrigued by the sheer capacity of some of the contests’ stomachs! Amused she laughed loudly and cheered the eaters not knowing who any were but spurred on by the excitement and joy of the others around.

“Go! Go! You can do it!” Another round of laughter filled the air around her as her heart felt lighter and her smile widen. She wasn’t participating but it surely was quite a show!

“Is it always like this?” She asked the floating half body beside her that seemed to be specifically cheering on the pretty blond Raevan. He had a pretty face and delicate features of a young boy framed by feather locks. Handsome and boyish were always RoChan’s weakness… now all he needed was a pair of glasses and she might have to smother him in hugs.

((Beach Bar/ Sand n' Stuff))

For a moment, David found himself entranced by the girl's interesting accent and tone combination but he knew this type all too well, and so continued as coolly as ever. He sportively lured the purple haired girl closer to him, holding the hat out and then pulling it quickly to himself like some kind of game of cat and mouse, smirking all the while.

"No, please," he chuckled, performing an impish nod in her direction that forced his sunglasses to slide down from his forehead to the bridge of his nose. He winked charmingly at her, his grin widening. "Thank you for following it. Name's David."

Leaning back a little so both the hat and he were out of the girl's reach, David placed his free hand on his waist and twirled the hat on his other's finger mockingly.

"Do you have a name, my little violet?" he purred, unaware of his lonesome observer. Namini felt disappointed in her brother's actions as she watched him flirt with yet another woman. This constant shuffling of tastes and techniques were beginning to irk the auburn-haired teen and so, instead of watching her brother play with yet another woman, she decided to abandon him as well. The beach became her haven.

Walking onto the sand, now barefooted , with her sandals securely placed in her bag, Namini felt the warmth spread from her toes upwards and inwards, bringing a calmness back into her veins. Further exploring the beach, she paid little attention to her surroundings besides the colorful shells and nostalgic ocean water. Placing her belongings on a sandy corner besides some rocks, Namini cautiously but happily walked to the water's edge.

Ooh! The waves were so refreshing and pleasant. Closing her eyes thoughtfully, Namini allowed her frustration and overheated body to be cooled by the waves sweeping over her feet.

.ll Sand N' Stuff ll.

The waves were churning together in choppy ribbons of cerulean blue and murky green, leaving behind small traces of luminous foam along the shoreline for Josh’s feet to trudge through. Usually, it would be fun to visit the ocean at the beach. However, it seemed like Josh was the only one who held this ideal. The flat of land was completely bare save for a few wayward starfish and crustaceans. How could the beach at a “beach” bash be so… deserted? He was too far out to notice the call for the pie eating event, and instead made his way out further in the sea. To be honest, he could care less to witness countless people engorge themselves on baked goods. The aquatic scene was much more relaxing. The waves nipped eagerly at his calves as he sunk deeper into the water. He made a leisurely yet brisk pace through the water. It seems like he would be the only one enjoying the charming location for now…

Josh’s eyes caught hold of a familiar silhouette and a devious smirk graced his lips. His lithe body began to descend further into the brine until he was completely submerged. He swam a tentative and cautious path over to the girl. If this worked out well, he would be able to greet Namini with a bit of a fright. Nonetheless, the ocean had other plans for the boy and kicked him out onto the strip of sand just in front of her bare feet. Josh’s grin spread like a virus across his face and he peered up at her. “Hello there Chickie!” His voice was teeming with unspent energy.

((Pie-eating contest))

Jupiter still struggled, trying to pick up little bits of ooey-gooey pecan pie. Why was his the only one to fall apart so far? The gods hated him. With desperation he made a little pile of the filling and scooped it up with two hands, bringing it to his mouth. God, he probably looked like one of those horrible messy guys with no manners. He looked to the side to see with dismay that one of the floating creatures had finished two pies and had little more than a smear on her. Life was so unfair.

Although he was thoroughly amused by the sudden appearance of all the people at the beach bar, Eiry made an effort to watch a little bit of the pie eating contest. Oh, how he wished he could just go and take all the pies...But there was too much activity for him to do that now. He'll have to wait until later when there were less people and there were leftover pies...

But he could still pull out some tricks from his sleeves while he was waiting.

Floating behind inconspicuously behind his guardian who was furiously eating pies, Eiry gave a creepy cheer or two to mold himself into the crowd. Then, when his guardian was beginning to start on his second batch of pies, Eiry was in position.

"Come on, Isikoro!" Eiry cheered, "Get your face in that pie!" And without a warning, the mischievous frei lunged forward and slammed Isi's face into a fine tray of cherry pie.

Isi had just managed to finish his last apple pie before he pulled another tray of cherry before himself and he had just gotten it before him when he felt his face unexpectedly pushed down and into the juicy pie. For a few split moments he couldn't breathe without inhaling pie crust and he wiggled for a moment in the chair, pounding his fists into the counter top, until finally Eiry let go and spun away, giggling his little ribbon off.

"EIRDIRSCEOL, I'LL GET YOU..." Isi stuffed a handful of the pie down his gullet, "...WHEN I'M DONE EATING ALL THIS PIE, YOU..." another bite, "...HEAR ME, YOU MISCHIEVOUS SPIRIT ORB OF MINT AND DEBAUCHERY?! Cherry and crust was dripping down his face and onto his shirt, he could feel it getting everywhere and Isi silently bemoaned the fact that the pie he was eating was now on his face instead of his mouth.

Laughing loudly in his creepy-like way, Eirdirsceol flit away from the bar before Aphi or anyone else could catch him and his attention was quickly stolen by an innocuous basket of water balloons...

[[Pie Count: 49 + 44 = 93]]

((Pie Eating Contest))

"Go Meli!!! You can keep it--- hmm?" Zave's attention at the competition was broken by a question from a rather young looking girl with horns. "What do you mean always like this? We have a party every year, but this year seems to be especially crazy." Zave replied hoping that he made sense. "Why do you ask, if you don't mind my inquiry?"

Quickly turning to cheer Meli on again, it was really odd how much she could pack away and not show any signs of it hitting her. Not to mention how she could delicately eat by just sticking a hand in, and still hit that number of pies. It was a small wonder she managed to eat and not get it all over her. All these puzzles were beyond Zave, but it didn't matter, she was doing amazingly well. "C'monnn Meli!!!"

[[ Eating Contest ]]

Bee looked up with a slightly open mouth as she watched the Raevan and owner struggle for a good minute or so before waking up again. Plop. plop. Splat!

Aww, stinky bombs, She thought savagely. Some of the cherries had fallen out while she was catching flies and staring. Yuck, she'd have to stuff her mouth again. How many pies had she gone through now after she finished that last one? Apple, Pecan, Pumpkin, Cherry... That left blueberry and Oreo chocolate pudding. Oh lordy, she wanted to eat her favorite now but there weren't any. Oh well! She grabbed the blueberry pie on her left and dug in...
