[[ Justin - Beach - Cruz]] Justin blinked, staring at Cruz's pointed finger. Pointing at him. He crossed his own arms defensively, his own search for seashells forgotten. "I am helping! Just with.. other guys, for her. Not me." He poked one thumb at his own chest with a disgruntled noise. Changing a type of relationship was scary, to be perfectly honest, but of course Cruz didn't get that. "Gotta find her a nice guy, one who is not me-" he looked pointedly at the frei. "And then we'll all remain friends."

(( Ronan and Maili - Beach / Anita, Eth, Trox ; Kris - Buffet and Bar / Damien and general company ))
Seeing Anita's greeting Ronan stood up to wave in return - but what he didn't see was Kris and Maili sneaking up behind him, Maili on Kris' shoulders. Before he knew what was happening Maili had latched onto his back and covered his eyes, Kris in stitches as he flailed at the sudden new weight. Well. Two people could play this game. Zeroing in on the laughter Ronan leaped towards the sound, both girls shrieking as they were brought down into the water. Kris was still laughing when he surfaced, all of them drenched and Maili no longer covering his eyes. "Okay," Kris gasped as she stood up. "I deserved that."
"Darn right you did," Ronan said, reaching up to tweak Maili's nose and getting rewarded with a squeak. Settling Maili into a more comfortable piggy back he turned his head towards her. "You okay coming with to visit some people?" Her legs just gripped his chest harder. "I'm not going anywhere." Ronan grinned. "Alrighty then. Kris?"
The other girl was pushing wet bangs off her face. "I'm going to head over to the bar for a bit. Have fun!"
"We will!" Waving farewell for the moment Ronan jogged over to Anita and company. "Hey!" he said in greeting. "Enjoying the party so far?" He didn't know the other two, so the selkie figured he wouldn't put them on the spot. Maili whispered in his ear, pointing, and he reached down to pick up a seashell by his foot, handing it up to her.
Kris flopped down at the bar on a seat at the end, looking at the company and breaking out into an unexpected grin. "Didn't expect to see some other red heads here! Nice change of pace." Turning to the bartender she just ordered a water for now. Still a little over a year to go before she could get something more.

(( Zul → Beach with Pasha and Tatiana ))
He had no way of knowing what was in Melisande's mind, but he saw well into her eyes and his own gaze looking back at him. Zul would never contend that he was anything more than a beast, but he was their beast, his Muse and his Scorpion's. The demon offered a gentle smile to her, not asking which part she was saying yes to, figuring they'd work that out after the first show. He bowed his head against her lips, eyes lidded in that peaceful, stolen moment. She was opening up to him, and goodness knows he was trying to do the same for her--
Following the Muse's gaze, he saw the azure-haired Frei from earlier on the approach, seeming eager to greet the Sigel at his side. His hand tightened warmly with hers, thumb tracing over the delicate lines of her fingers, relishing in the open affection. Though it'd been some time since Rivener and he had the discussion, he still felt at times that he was supposed to be kept a secret. The small gestures afforded to him were a healing balm, making his smile linger.
Blue eyes settled on the exotic Frei once she was within earshot and Melisande happily greeted her, taking her appearances in. Her hair was fantastic and felt like a living entity, giving him the impression that if he were to rub it between his fingers, it would move and push against him. Zul appreciated her dark skin and found the red markings on her hands most fascinating. Her wings reminded him of fine crafted cyan glass and her eyes a lovely amethyst. Tatiana, was it? "Good day, Tatiana. My name is Zul - it's good to see you enjoying yourself in this gathering." Lifting his free hand to his chest, he bowed his head politely to her, a curious smile lighting his eyes.

[ Thanatos | Beach Front w/ Winny & Melanie --> Beach ]
Xan just laughed and turned from both women, feeling a slight shift in both of them but nothing he wanted to get involved in. "I'm okay with giving you any information you need but I think the best to do is mingle with everyone Winny. They're very nice people." True to his words everyone seemed occupied getting reacquainted or meeting new faces. For Xan he wanted to actually catch some sun and spend time with his family. "Ladies I hope I'm not being too abrupt but I'd like to get out to the beach. You're more than welcome to join me." Grabbing his things he slide past Melanie nudging her with a playful elbow before heading to a clear area on the beach.
Once situated he placed his beach umbrella down, a towel and his bag that had a few snacks in it and other beach necessities. With a loud whistle, his two huskies came rushing along the beach past all those present to stop happily in front of him. "Having fun guys..?" He gave each a soft pat on the head handing them both some doggie treats. "Domo! You okay over there?"
[ Domevlo --> Beach w/ Anyone nearby (mention Zul/Pasha) ]
"Yeah..." The frei replied watching Tatiana and then Ren wander off. He gave a lazy smile under his mask at seeing Zul with another he had seen in passing but remained at the shores edge unable to get in the water. It was rather frustrating not being able to enjoy the major appeal of being at the beach. Getting in the water!
( Gonna be out for the weekend on and off, I'm out of town but feel free to mingle with Xan and/or Domo I'll post when I get the chance.
(Chrys!? Is Zul/Pasha in the water or on the shore. I wasn't sure. Lolz. Domo can't get in the water so yeah...)

(( LuLu --> Buffet & Bar / Damien, Doucette, Caroline, & Ian )) LuLu caught the flicker of eyes as Damien cast a glance at her but the girl's attention was drawn back to the siblings. The sigel flicked her wings at Ian's compliment approvingly before she answered, "Yes. A journalist." Unfortunately for Josh, the latest scoop was not at the beach today. In fact it was on the other side of town and involved some gossip about a celebrity love triangle. She continued, "I am old enough to be alone." LuLu gave the faintest gesture to her hips as though they were the raevan equivalent of rings on trees. LuLu barely recognized Doucette as she approached due to the weight resting around her middle. However, the rabbit's eyes went alight once she recognized those bouncy curls. She squeaked excitedly, "Miss Dou!" She could not help herself as her arms were already raised for a hug.

(( Mordekai - Buffet/Bar with <******** everyone idk, toward Camille & Damien ))
Mordekai kept standing and let Tango do his thing, then grinned at Cam. "Ah, yeah? Das great! Who'd you end up meetin' with?" he glanced over at the box on the buffet counter, then nodded toward it, "That it?"
He waved toward the remaining company at Cam's greeting; they seemed busy with their own conversation, though, so he kept it to a short "'Ey!" and returned his attention toward Cam. "Been fine, 'bout you? Keepin' busy, ah?" he smirked at Damien, "'E might-- 'ey," he gestured toward the box, "Pass 'em over, cayenne."

((Tatiana - Waterfront - Pasha & Zul ))
"The water is cool and perfect," She called as she approached with a large grin. Water droplets hung in suspense around her wrists like bangles, small and unnoticeable but orbiting slowly as she moved. She pitched her head forward, peering at Zul with raised brows, lips parting in contemplation before offering a hand.
"Zul was that?" Her accented voice chimed as she shook the Demon's hand should he offer it, "Pleasure is mine. And yes. This water is very vast and far cleaner than Troxel's pond. He has yet to take me to his lake though- the one where he found me apparently, so perhaps that would be a good swim as well."
She glanced back at the water, flitting her wings slightly to shake more wetness from her feathers and smiled contentedly, "The ocean though. It's colors are beautiful and the sun is warm. Do either of you swim?"
She looked between both of the sigels, wings spreading in anticipation.
--
((Troxel - Beach -> Anita, Etheriel, Ronan))
"Oh wow, yeah it has been a while. Sorry I've been meaning to reach out to everyone- It's just been so busy with the living situations, fixing the house up for the market, re-commissioning into the guard unit here on top of DHS AND medevac." He rambled, ticking off his fingers as he listed his life recently. The pilot scrunched his face and gave Anita a warm and lopsided smile.
"It's been crazy, re-crunching my savings to make room for the baby and then prepping Tatiana for said baby. Then combining households and yenno what? I'm already patching out gray so we're gonna stop there."
He finished with a nervous laugh as he ran his fingers through said strawberry brown here, fingers passing over distinctive silvering patches.
"Etheriel, you're looking beautiful in the sunlight. Great to see you again," He turned his attention to the tea frei, 'elegant princess type' as he catelogued her in his mind, "smart idea with the umbrella but a little sun on your cheeks would bring your favorite color-- ... Shoot... Cam is getting to me."
--
((Camille - Buffet and Bar - Damien, Mordekai –in general people surrounding))
"Of course h'know dis jokuh," Cam said back towards Damien with a 'don't be foolish' look sassily placed on his features. The spice in his heritage was coming through now that he felt a bit more at ease. Kind of. Crowds still made him tense up a tad, "Y'think y'kid aroun' widdis accent? Cajuns find eachothuh one way or anuthuh h'kin gau-rawn-tee dat one, ya hear?"
He gave Damien a large smile, dimples pocking his face and sun kissed freckled cheeks pinching. More at ease and far more charming. He pointed a thumb at Damien and held a finger to Mordekai in a 'wait a tick' command, "So, bubba which on is dat an' how it taste t'y?"
He passed over the bottle Damien offered in response to Mordekai's request- not bothering to read the label.
"H' been busy h'guess. Runnin' around pickin' ou' ligh' fixtures, panelin', bar wood. Lotta decisions. Sam Green, th' financier has been helpin' me a bit... Oh! uh... h'm all moved in da' apartmen' in th'buildin' by th'way. All se' bu' thanks f'th'offuh. H'know yous a busy man."
Cam lowered his voice regarding the financial advisor and scrunched his face halfway before shrugging and holding out his shirt, "Dis is the sample t-shirt- simple an' plain. How y'digg?"
He then did a nervous hobble of a spin, being careful not to lose his balance, and showed his shirt off to Damien for approval too.CAM'S BEER SAMPLE LIST AND FLAVORS

((Pasha -> Surf | Zul, Tati)) Melisande's hand clenched in Zul's involuntarily at the mention of Troxel's name, nails biting for a moment against his skin, but to her credit not so much of a flicker clouded her expression. She relaxed slowly as the pretty Frei continued to speak, and her smile warmed. "You came from a lake? What a beautiful origin!" She didn't push, though she was obviously curious…some of her brethren knew little about their past, and some Guardians (Pasha's ex guardian included) seemed to like it that way. She released Zul's hand slowly, casting a warm look up at him, before turning her blossoming smile back to Tati. "I have never gone into the ocean without Sevlin, but the water looks perfect!" Pasha tugged the tie on her wrap, slipping out of it and folding it with such ease that she surely gave away her day job. The Muse settled the faux kimono on the sand, souvenir shell resting on top, and glanced back over one bare shoulder at the Demon. A flash of the humor Rivener seemed to appreciate brightened her eyes for a moment as she spoke. "What do you think?" Her strapless top was white blushed with the faintest pink, a color somewhere between her ribbon and wings, and edged with delicate platinum embroidery. Everything she'd selected for the day was light and effortless…only the ever present ring on Zul's chain rested heavily in silent contrast.

(( Zul → Beach to Surf with Pasha and Tatiana, mention of Domevlo ))
The demon was beside himself with amusement with Tatiana's motions and gestures, rather taken with how animated she was. He indeed accepted the offered hand, but rather than shake - he never did understand that - he lifted it while bowing his head, meeting his lips to her knuckles in a polite, chaste kiss. Before he let her loose, however, the orbiting water caught his attention, making his blue eyes widen with surprise, an expression he rarely wore. Zul straightened his posture, looked over to Melisande with his wide-eyed boyish wonder and back to Tatiana as the Frei continued to speak.
He wanted to express how awesome he thought it was and ask what her make up was -- but Melisande's drag of nails on his skin acutely drew his attention, finally letting Tatiana's hand go and honing in on the conversation. Troxel? He might have asked what a Troxel was but judging from the Frei's inflection and Melisande's response, a Troxel was the Guardian to the lovely lake-born Raevan. "Zul it is, and that sounds lovely. I haven't swam in anything but the ocean myself." He could still remember his first time with his rune's poor reaction, the crater in the sand from the virus that he left, and the last time he was at the summer party, paired with Xiu...and that was when he spotted Domevlo, one of the first few Raevans he'd seen placed in a new home after neglect. With a faint smile, he lifted a hand, gesturing for the lead Frei to come over. He imagined that this was what feeling old was like.
"The sea is certainly a beautiful temptation. I'd be happy to swim with you ladies." He let Melisande go in turn, stripping himself of the tank top and shaking it out, folding it with care and placing it over the shell and Melisande's garment. When he turned his attention back to the two, his eyes did a raking sweep of the Muse's turned back, floating behind her and brushing his fingers over the delicate fabric of her swim suit before ghosting along her sides. Were they alone, his response might have been less polite.
The demon pressed a kiss to her shoulder, smiling against her skin and looking at her from the corner of a blue eye. "Words would hardly do my thoughts justice," he murmured teasingly, righting himself and floating around her with his wings spread, now feeling the dire need to play and expend some of the sudden energy he felt.
Taking Melisande's hand in one and Tatiana's in the other, he floated backwards towards the water, grinning. "Do you swim well, Tatiana?" he called over the rolling churn of the surf, his ribbon submerging. While he would have liked to have barreled into the water with the two ladies, he was mindful of the Frei's smaller stature and that he'd seen her with what he assumed as a Troxel. He sure as hell didn't want to drown a lake-born entity.

((Ethiriel – beach; Trox, Anita, mention to Ronan | Henry – parking lot)) ”It is quite all right,” the frei said, her voice just loud enough for Anita to hear over the waves. Her free hand found its way to her wrist, giving a gentle tap before resting on her own arm. Her eyes lazily rested before her, having nothing in particular to focus on.
The unfamiliar greeting of the selky momentarily caught her attention, Ethiriel offering another bow in response – even if it wasn’t particularly aimed at her. It would have been impolite not to offer some kind of response at the very least, and at least it wasn’t vocal, just in case. Had she known exactly which direction he had come from, which she only vaguely knew with the volume of the beach surrounding them, she would have offered her hand but for now she would only offer a nod.
And then Troxel spoke up.
She wasn’t particularly expecting the attention on herself, especially after such a ramble, but she was almost thankful that the man seemed to remember her. ”I thank you, Sir Harrison. And you are expecting an infant; that is wonderful news.” she said, flashing him a gentle smile.
--
”Hey. Huh? Uh—fine. What’s up?”
With a grin, Henry’s hand met the back of his head, ruffling his hair. ”That’s good to hear! Just wanted to chat for a bit!” he exclaimed, ”Do you have any plans for your birthday, yet?”
”Okay.” Distracted, Gabe offered a slight pause. ”No. I don’t think I’m doing anything this year.”
”Ah, I see. How would you like to do something together? I’m sure Ethiriel would enjoy a small get-together, too!”
Giving out an agitated breath, Gabe continued, ”I don’t think I want to do anything this year.”
”Aw, are you sure? It wouldn’t have to be anything big! I can just make you dinner and we can chill!”

It's not like he'll be too hard to find."Leigh steps out from the car, pulling off her sunglasses to store them in her bag before pulling a big sunhat out from the back seat. Shutting the door, she walks around to the trunk and puts it on. "I'm the one who insisted we bring the umbrella and chairs, anyways," she smirks, "Should be my burden to bear for fearing the sun and sand."

Two nymphs pop out at Justin and Melisande from the sand!   One is rather reprimanding of Justin taking their horn, while the other seems quite pleased to see her new Raevan charge. (These two are free for anyone to take!)

[[Andreas - Bar -- Damien, Mordekai, Cam.]]
Drey raised an eyebrow as he glanced over and caught someone staring at him like a dog's dominance battle. If there was one thing he'd learned from 10 years on the force it was that when someone was glaring him down like that, it usually meant Drey knew them.. from work. On edge, but keeping Cam's eye for as long as he'd let him with a flat stare and one eyebrow raised, he ran through faces. Had he arrested this guy or someone like him?
Eugh. Then he opened his mouth. No, Drey would remember someone an accent that sounded like they were talking around a mouthful of cotton. He grimaced into his drink just listening to it.
No, he had come out to have fun and he would do just that - putting aside the strange man who had seen it fit to glare at him for (no? some?) reason, he turned his attention back to Damien. Too bad he (and Mordekai) seemed to know the douche; he wondered if he could get them apart.
He had caught Damien's eyes on his chest and gave him a brighter grin that he was apparently captivated by his body. Good. Except then Cam started talking again.
Softly, he sucked his teeth and turned his attention back to the bar, content for the moment to think on it. Apparently more strategy than originally thought would be needed.

(( Cruz – Beach / Justin ))
Justin defended his point just as quickly as Cruz managed to leave his mouth agape. The croc managed to sputter and look upset but little else came until Justin finished his thought. Cruz's hands dug into the sand, pushing off to hold himself up in a low float that simultaneously grounded him as attempt to push himself to eye level with Justin. He only managed to come out with the top of his head near Justin's waistband.
”I-- I don't--” he started pathetically, green eyes bouncing between Justin's, ”You can stay friends! Even if you tell her, of course you can stay friends. I don't understand...”
Cruz didn't so much as push off the ground as he weakly released it and floated back to his usual height like a balloon that lost half its helium. ”Why can't it be you? Why does it have to be someone else?” He liked Justin. He got along well enough with Justin to be able to plan and discuss this scenario, and he knew that Anita got along with him too. So why? Why, if he had the desire to kiss Anita that so many of her friends lacked, was he refusing to go forward with it? ”Why wouldn't you stay friends if you did...?”
(( Anita – Beach / Ethiriel, Troxel, Ronan + Maili ))
Anita offered a small wave and a chuckle as Trox got out from the waves and made his approach for a proper conversation; she hadn't expected a dumptruck's worth of words coming at her so quickly with so little context. Anita lifted her brows and kept her smile while trying to hold on to the flow: house, guard unit, DHS, medevac, money, baby, Tati-- Anita's head shook as she broke herself from the continued drawl and concentrated on piecing together “Tatiana” and “baby” while Trox took to greeting Ethiriel.
”Oh-- didn't know you guys knew each other.” Good thing she hadn't introduced them or that would have been the second time she felt like an idiot today. ”Um, hey-- did you say baby?” Tatiana sounded familiar but she couldn't quite place where. A relative? A raevan? Anita didn't have much time to mull it over before Ronan emerged from the water with a little sea urchin in tow and, once again, Anita was left somewhat dumbstruck.
At least with Ronan and the kid she had a quicker recovery. ”Hey! Yeah, I just got here,” Anita leaned back a little to size Ronan up after he grabbed the shell, then pointed between him, Trox, and Ethiriel, ”Y'all don't know each other, right?” Maybe they would recognize each other's names from the Lab 305 call sheet.
(( Damien – Buffet & Bar / Camille, Mordekai, Andreas, Kris ))
”Yeah, yeah, tumbleweed,” Damien grabbed two of the brews and passed one to Mordekai as Cam caught the man up to speed. He'd just gotten the cap off when Cam inquired to the type and taste, but Damien was too eager to drink to give him a verbal response. He turned the bottle in his hand to show the label clearly to Cam and tapped it with a finger to draw his attention while taking his first gulp.
Belgium Style Blonde.
He wished it was colder. The drink ended with a distinct gasp of appreciation and Damien held the bottle from his face so he could regard it. ”It cuts the dust,” he smirked, then brought the lip of the bottle to his nose for a brief sniff, ”The hell is that? Tastes like a peach tryin' to pick a fight.”
Another sip. He smacked his lips. Damien hadn't missed the brief unspoken showdown between the object of his sidelong attentions and the short beer distributor, but he appeared thoroughly distracted. ”S'good,” he decided, and looked back at Cam and Mordekai as he showed off the shirt. His grin perked up and he pointed to it, ”Eyyy, I'm diggin' it.” Damien took another idle sip as he glanced back towards Drey to check on the man's attentiveness, grinned with it against his lips, then leaned towards Cam. ”You mind if nipples over here has an oat soda, too?”
It was at that time another carrot joined the patch. Damien offered Kris a sly grin and a tip of his bottle as she commented. "More the merrier, right?"

[[ Justin - Beach - Cruz >>>> Bar - Kris & all]] Justin sighed. And then, he sighed again. Cruz's dramatic pleading was not lost on the man, but the green frei just didn't understand. And his antics were getting more and more dramatic. The pleading eyes, the distressed noises: Justin had no doubt that Cruz meant everything he said, even if he was just beating a dead horse. Justin curled his toes in his shoes. It was making him antsy, the ocean was making him antsy, every pathetic word. The sand near his foot squeaked pathetically and he bent, scooping up... a little thing, not a crab. He dumped it in his pocket to examine later. "It can't be me, because it's up to Anita. She chooses who she kisses. And if I told her and she said 'no, it'd be awkward! A relationship changes, and not always for good." His eyes scanned the sand. Anita was coming and he definately didn't want to be around when she got here. Cruz would probably shove them together like a bad romance novel. "I... just... no, Cruz. I won't tell her, I can't." And with that, Justin simply turned and walked away. <********, he needed a drink. He loped over to the bar, plunking down forlornly on a seat near a cute redheaded girl. He simably mumbled out a hello. In fact, the bar seemed teeming with redheads. He blinked and order a Hell or High Watermelon. Justin's pocket moved indignantly and he reached in. "Ouch!" Unceremoniously, he dumped the little nymph on the countertop. "W-what...?"
