  "We have a winner!" Declared Gladice before Lorenzo had even the time to start swimming. Really, if you wanted to be in a contest, at least try a bit! Don't just stay there flexing your muscles... even if he had a lot of them. Once everyone made their way back to the beach Gladice walked next to the winner and tapped his back. "Good job, son. You beat everyone by a landslide. Sooo.... Usually the price would have been a thowsand but... uh.. it'll be too long to explain so, here's a check for five hundred and you also have one night of free alcohol at the Grindhouse. I hope you like to drink..." She then left out and returned to Gaston. It hadn't been her idea to give the winner free alchool but Gaston had tried to impress that stripper from the last festival... or at least had decided on that price right after and had probbably forgot al about it since then.
He hadn't won, but he didn't minded it that much. In fact, not being the centrer of attention for once was good. For someone who preferred to be alone, the blacksmith had been quite social lately and this was starting to annoy him. He made his way back to where Kade was... next to Ellie? Did the boy had a death wish or something? Yoakim greeted Ellie and Rune before excising himself and Kade. Really... the hairdresser never thought, did he? "Come... You wanna watch the firework, don't you? Let's go over there and get some privacy."

    Mei looked at Lesley curiously. "'Real drinks?' Like tea?" she asked before drinking some of the wine herself. She had never been a heavy drinker, since you could get other beverages for a lot cheaper, and therefore you could make it last. She wasn't particularly good at it either, so the most she could really handle was wine like this... Everyone back home drank this at every celebratory event! In fact, water it down enough and kids could drink without even feeling a thing! "Okay, I can come over," she said with a small smile, not realizing that she was venturing dangerously close to the bear cave... She continued sipping wine until swimming contest was over, and only then did she put down the cup. "Oh, fireworks!" she said excitedly. She then very eagerly opened the rest of the contents of the lunch box, revealing a variety of snacks. She couldn't really cook, but she could compile a lunch box like nobody's business.

Year 2
Accepting Sandcastle participant till Sunday
Accepting Swimming participant till tuesday Summer. Gladice was never sure if she loved or not summer. At first she enjoed it thoroughly, but the more they went through it, the more she would complain about the heat. Oh well, it was in the human nature to complain about everything and anything and she wasn't different. For now, however, she would enjoy the day. This was one of the few festival where she didn't have to do anything, since there was nothing to prepare. This year, thankfully, neither festival had been cancelled and everything should proceed smoothly, unless, of course, that the mayor would decide to bring one of his pet and ruin everything... yeah. For now, she would enjoy the warmth on a towel under a parasol, wearing one of her many red sun dresses.
=========
Not that far from where Gladice was another woman, albeit, much younger, was walking up and down the beach. She had been off the island for a whole season and had found herself missing it.. It was nice to be back, this time, without a head to track down or a crippled girl to kill. No, this time she was on a date! That is, if said date hadn't stood her up. She had made sure to send Integra some flowers to remind her that they were supose to meet on beach day. If she didn't show up, Leila would kill her. It was as simple as that.
=========
A bit more further from Gladice an Leila was another woman, albeit, much much more younger. Soooo young! Okay, maybe not that much, but she was still younger than the two others. As anyone who had started to understand how Lotte's mind worked, she wasn't here to enjoy the weather or play with people or anything. Nope. She was here to WIN Win what you may ask? Win the Sandcastle contest of course! It was a castle, she was an explorer/Adventurer/Treasure Hunter! She knew castles like nobody else! She was sure to win, whatever there was to win. She hoped it was money... or a gun. Yeah, a gun would be nitce!

Another year, another beach day~ And even better, Yuuto had decided that he was too busy finishing up his grading to play, so he was staying home. Nanami was free! She practically skipped onto the beach, she was so excited. Thankfully, her hands were in her jacket pockets, so it prevented her from embarrassing herself. Haruka trailed shortly behind, firmly hugging their beach blanket to her chest. The winter had left her with terribly white skin, so she hoped she could get some sun before anyone saw.
Mei had been quiet for a while. Mostly just staying in her apartment and sleeping. Sleep helped her stress~ But now she was feeling brave enough to come to the beach again. The problem was, somehow she had ended up wearing a two piece swimsuit again! What was with this island? She had been all over and hadn't been able to find anything remotely resembling her high school issued swimsuit! This one was better, though... It was a little less revealing and had a skirt. Still, she was feeling self conscious, and kept her eyes focused on the sand as she walked over to an open area to set up camp.
The Park family had showed up yet again~ Only, surprisingly, it was only River and Alex this time! Elliot had decided to stay home because she was tired, so River was a little disappointed. Still, her big brother was there! She was practically gushing, she was so happy to be out with Alex again~ Of course, she didn't know that Alex had only decided to show up because Elliot creeped him out more than River bugged him. He glanced around nervously. Oh, he hoped no one would recognize him from the Cooking Festival... He still had a nasty case of Carpal Tunnel thanks to that disaster.
"Alex! We're here! It's the ocean!" River yelled excitedly. Apparently, this ocean-identifying-thing was going to repeat.
"...Shut up, River, don't say my name that loudly. And stop being an idiot." Alex's cruel words couldn't stop River's love, though, and she proceeded to glomp his arm.
Natalia and Rory bounded onto the sand, making their first festival appearance since moving to town~ Beach day! What a good start! Natalia was disappointed Rory wouldn't let her bring the dogs, and she had responded by mumbling terrible things under her breath the entire walk there. But now she was feeling better~ Because it was the ocean! And the ocean meant beaches! And beaches meant... sandcastles! She had never built a sandcastle before, but she was confident she would destroy the competition. Rory glanced at her from the corner of his eye -- he knew that look, and it never was a good thing. "Rory..." Natalia said with a gleam in her eye as she looked over the beach. Rory smiled. Here it comes. "...Let's make them cry."
He broke into a grin. "Yeah. They won't know what hit them." Of course, he had never made a sandcastle either!
Sandcastle: Natalia Piper & Rory Cameron
Swimming: River Park

It was then that she heard a man (Alex) asking his... Girlfriend (River) to not reveal his name. Why would he say that? There was only one reason she could think off... he was a Master Sandcastle Building the came over here incognito in order to crush the competition and make her loose! Oh, she couldn't accept that! She looked around to see if one of her various minion were there... No, unfortunatly. That meant that she would have to take the mater into her own hand. And by taking mater in her own hands, she meants pulling the water gun she had (don't ask where it was.Logic doesn't exist in Nirvani), jumpe in front of the man and pointing it at him. "This beach isn't big enough for the two of us, Bam! Astalavista, Alex!" She then proceed to use her Water Gun on Alex while laughing like the madwoman that she was. Really, what else could one expect of Lotte?

♥ • • Celeste xoxooxoxo
╔═════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗ It was Summer! That meant that her birthday was right around the corner... in just a couple of days in fact. And what better way to kick of her birth month than to go to the Beach day festival? Celeste loved the beach, and was suprised that she hadn't made it to the beach before now. Sur she had gotten here in the fall, but truthfully cooler water didn;t bother, having grown up in the north and all. Oh where had the time gone anyway?
Feeling a little giddy she headed onto the beach her simple suit hidden beneath her simple white top and black shorts. As always she was listening to her music, it made the walking eaiser, and her satchel was over her shoulder, though it seemed to be fuller than usual. Unfortunately she hadn't been able to bring Azriel, who had a thing against the beach, but she would bring him a present later. She picked out what looked like a good spot and set her stuff down, laying out a beach blanket. Having finished that she plopped herself down, sitting cross-legged and looked around at those who were already there. Anyone she knew?

Integra came up on the beach festival, for only two reasons. Nice sun, a chance to show off her darker skin and get a nice tan. And two because she was sure that rose haired vixen would be here. She had said so at the New Years Eve celebration a the Grindhouse. And ever since then she hadnt been able to get the girl out of her mind.
Sporting a simple black bikini with matching bottom and one of those sexy silky skirt wraps that went with it, Integra scanned the beach for the female that had the same color hair as her.
___
Walter, still smoking despite what that little odd letter had said, ended up escorting Integra to the beach. Wearing the same thing he usually did mind you. Only difference his sleeves were rolled up half way and a top button or two was undone, revealing the littlest bit of flesh.
Beach or not, summer or not, Spring.. it could be the fires of Hell itself, Walter would still be dressed like a butler.

Integra looked at Lelia from over her shoulder and tried to hide her smile but it was hard to. Especially around a woman she liked. "What Walter here? No he's just ..he's like a brother to me. My escort for the day thats all." Integra said as she turned to face Lelia, she patted Walter on the chest who had also turned to look at the one addressing them.
"Oh dont mind me Ma'am. Names Walter though." Walter said as he held out his hand to greet the woman, cigarette firmly between his teeth, which unlike most Brits were rather white and straight looking.
"And how could i stand you up. After you left me hanging that New Years night?" Integra smirked as she looked Lelia up and down, sexy, in a bit of a slutty way, but hey thats what she liked right?

"Maybe i was. But no i have alot of patience.. when it comes to certain endevours.." Integra said with a smile as she played with a piece of her hair, the other hand on her hip in a lazy fashion. "And i could have stood you up.. but i didnt. Not much is new with me. I still need to find my a** a job.. the local police patrole is bat s**t crazy. She shot poor Walter here in the leg." Integra said with a light laugh and a shake of her head. "Danielle.. as far as i know i believe she ended up having a date with that cutie, Raiden. Not sure what came of it though, i havent seen him for a bit. Oops.." Integra smiled as she laughed lightly. "I mean her."
_
Walter watched the girl with mild interest as he could tell she was flat out lying or at least lying a little when it came to whatever profession she had. Eh who cared, honestly? At this point, with this crazy island? When Integra mentioned the crazy b***h cop Walter shuddered visibly.
"Me?" Walter said as he put out his cigarette in the sand only to pick it up and fling it rather skillfully at the nearest trash bin and make it in. "A few men that i have, but no Ma'am. A woman hasnt caught my fancy yet. Not any that i want sticking around in the morning-"
"That Vlad hasnt ********." Integra added with a smirk.
"That too." Walter chuckled lightly. "But honestly Ma'am. No, it seems no one likes the British." Walter smirked lightly before he shrugged.

Micah stood on the beach, he was new on the island but all he wanted to do right now was surf, his father could unpack by himself, he was a strong guy. Micah on the other hand was going to go through withdraw if he didn't get out there and shred the waves. He began to run with his board, his long straightened dark red hair that he got from his mother bounced with him, his lean body barely moved as he did. He made it flashy he wanted to be noticed, he wanted the girls to see him.

Romane, of course, was there on lifeguard duty. Since no lifeguard had shown up yet, the police officers took that duty while they were patrolling the festival. Of course, Romane knew how to swim and do it well, so it wasn't at all a problem for her. But, she still wasn't dressed in that horrible swimsuit she had been issued. Well, it wasn't visible, at least. She wore her uniform over it, because anyone who was alright with wandering around in something as revealing as a one piece was disgusting. She stood off to the far end of the beach, keeping an eye on all the newcomers and silently scolding all the women and men who had their legs and chests bared as they were. Simply disgusting.
~~~
..Was this at all a surprise? Gaston came riding into the festival – yes, riding. He was on top of an elephant, with Angelina riding just behind him in one of those extravagant saddles one often found atop an elephant being ridden. If one found African elephants often, that is. Yes, as any could guess, the Florence for this year was this very proud creature, setting her proud foot down uncertainly on the ground below. She wasn't very used to the sand and the ocean held an odd interest for her, but she didn't dare get close to it, what with how it rumbled and swayed in a sickening manner. Instead, the large animal simply watched it curiously from her distance, while Gaston used a ladder made entirely of servants stacked atop one another to climb down to the ground. He wore a deep-red speedo and a magnificent cape which sashayed behind him by use of a small midget flailing it from behind him. ..Yes, he had gone all out for that day, but it was only because he was in high spirits! His wedding was soon and he had already gone back on the prowl with other women and men~! He just looked around now to see if he could spot one of his prospects.
~~~
The whole Waldroup family had carefully made their way to the Beach that day. Theresa was trying to get the kid out of the house and had, after a few weeks, decided that it was about time she forced Junior and Kade together again. Even with how out of hand that last fight had gotten, Kade had apologized and did look guilty enough over his actions for Theresa to trust him. He wasn't the same as he was before, but, well, he wasn't that far gone, at least. Plus, she still needed to talk to Kade about Gladice's suggestion.. She took a deep breath as she walked by the pair, taking in the salty air since there didn't seem to be much for either to talk about. Junior was busy with his rock, his last friend, and Kade was focused on the ground grimly. He went with purple trunks instead of the speedo he had so gleefully taken with last time, while Junior was in.. his own swimsuit that Kade had bought him while he was still in denial. Or, well, one part of it. Theresa had seen the boy try to wear some pink two piece and couldn't let him do it with his dignity intact. So, since Junior seemed determined to humiliate himself to try and cheer up daddy with a swimsuit he had picked out for him, he only came in the bottom half, while Theresa's jacket covered him as best as it could. She wore short-shorts and a tank top herself, since she didn't really have a swimsuit she could use and it was the closest she could get.
The group had laid out a towel on some vacant spot on the beach and started to sit down to proceed in their awkward silence, granted Yoakim's mutterings as his pet rock was set in his lap.
(( Sandcastle: Yoakim Jr., Kade Waldroup, & Florence VI
Swimming: None~ ))
