This is a rather large festival which takes place- yes, on the beach. The entire beach is decorated for this day. Banners everywhere, a bunch of grills set up to cook food. A stage is set for people to stand on and sing, or dance. There's volleyball and a bunch of other games set up for people to enjoy. There are a bunch of lights strung up between the trees to light up for when it starts to get too dark. And off to the side, away from everyone and protected by the best of the Royal Guard, are the fireworks, which are to be set off when it gets dark. So come, enjoy yourselves, the food, and the games until the fireworks go off!
This takes place in the country of Paralía, in the Arcanum Sector.
NOTES: This event starts at noon and ends at eleven o' clock at night RP time. All mages, good or evil, are allowed at this event. But if anyone fights, I'll send Hollow or other gods to stop it, and both parties will be banned from the event until it ends. If it's play fighting though, that's fine.

Ah, the beach. It was a great place to come and wind down, and relax. He decided to dress for the occasion though. He had on a pair of pure white swimtrunks, matching the rest of his coloration. One would be able to see the multitude of scars that covered his body, their stark white color standing out against his light colored skin. And then there were his muscles, which were easily hidden by his clothing, and rarely ever seen. It was quite odd to say the least, but he had a feeling no one would say anything about personal tastes. He also had his coat, which he used as a makeshift beach towel. And a pretty comfortable one at that. With all this under his belt, he walked forward, going towards the water. There were many other people here already, but he decided to set up wherever he wanted. In all honesty, he probably had gotten here a bit late, but that wasn't his fault. He heard there was a beach party being held and he was busy with a monster at the time.
"Maybe I could find some watermelon or something to munch on." the male muttered to himself, sighing happily as he thought about biting into a juicy watermelon. He decided to set up closer to the events, even though he probably wouldn't be joining in. So maybe he could just sit on the sidelines, and cheer on whoever he liked most. He gave a sigh, laying his coat on the sand before sitting on it, his legs crossed. "Or maybe get some ice-cream? Anything beats sitting here like a rock." he muttered to himself, letting another sigh escape his lips. He looked around at all the other individuals, wondering if he knew anyone that was currently here. While everyone else was around being social, he kept to himself under a tree. "Ah, an ice-cream cone..." the male muttered quietly to himself, drool slowly starting to drip from his mouth.
He was snapped out of his fantasies when he realized people were talking around him, and pointing at him, along with stealing glances. At first he thought it was because of his size and horns, or maybe even his scares or body. But it was then that he finally realized where he was. The country of Paralía, in the Arcanum Sector. The exact Sector that he had conquered and became the King of. He also remembered that he had suddenly disappeared for twenty-one years, having died at Wolloh's hands, and that his subjects didn't know about that. "Yes, yes. It is me, your King, Akuryō Jōtei Zen'nō-sha. And I do apologize for my disappearance, but it is... a long story. Just pretend I am another citizen, and allow me to partake in these activities as you are." the male stated, having stood up and raised his voice so everyone could hear him clearly enough. Thankfully they all seemed to heed his words, and continued on as they were before, the male giving a sigh of relief. "Well since I'm up, I might as well get some ice-cream." the male muttered, walking over to the stand and grabbing a popsicle. He stuck it in his mouth, recoiling at the flavor at first before managing to enjoy it. "Fitting of the beach... salty yet sweet... guess that's why it's called Sea-Salt Ice-Cream..." the male said, giving the light blue popsicle a lookover before sticking it back in his mouth and walking back over to his spot.

✦ The woman could not remember the last time she had been to this place, surely it had been centuries since she even last even stepped foot on a beach, but the moment she did, she was instantly reminded as to why she didn't. The heat.
"Gods above." she huffed, making her way around the grounds of the festival. Even in a bikini, she was not used to the summertime climate. Millennia of hauling herself up in the autumn country of Fthinóporo with her shop had made her thermal sensitive. But, that was something she was fix recently, exposing herself once again to the lands of Kartotinis Synkroúseis not only brought nostalgia of her adventuring days, but also helped adjust her back to the life as a traveler.
"I need something to cool off with or I'm gonna melt." the Kitsune told herself, her tails swishing above her head as to create a sun blocker. Her eyes gazed about the food stalls, looking for something she was in the mood for. Seeing all the various stands made her begin thinking about how she should have opened her own stall for the event. With such a huge crowd gathering, she could have made quite a bit of money selling her wares at this location. But atlas, that would just mean spending more time out here, working, and that was no fun.
At this moment, she caught the glimpse of frozen sweets stall, deciding it was what she wanted, and moseyed over to it. As she walked, she could see quite a few eyes beginning to turn and look at her. You'd think they be used to seeing one of the queens around, as it wasn't uncommon for Shouko to wander around in public. But as there eyes went straight from locked with hers to down her body, she snickered, realizing what it was about.
After a brief moment on deciding her treat and paying, she was now feeling much happier about the summer heat with the Popsicle in her hands. She usually wasn't one for nontraditional sweets but, this was exactly what she needed.
Now she was left with one question: What to do? As she looked around the beach now, she could see quite a few activities happening. Sand castle building, beach volleyball, swimming, all kinds of things but nothing stuck out to her. Until she saw the white haired man sitting alone.
A grin formed on her face, poping her ice cream into her mouth, she began to sneak over towards him. As she did this, the bottoms of feet began to discolor to a murky black, building up to her legs, then entire body until finally her whole body came collapsing into a cloud of shadows. The cloud slithered towards him silently, then flanked behind him.
In a sudden burst, Shouko's whole body re-materialized from the cloud, and the kitsune woman jumped up excitedly. "Hello sweetheart!" she chimed happily, grabbing Akuryo from behind, wrapping her arms around his shoulders.
"I see we both had the same idea." She commented, noting as the both of them were enjoying Popsicles. Her tails swished playfully behind her while she latched onto him.

Cᴏᴍᴘᴀɴʏ:"Shouko for now, which is just fine." Wʜᴇʀᴇᴀʙᴏᴜᴛs: Sitting on the beach near the Event Area Tʜᴏᴜɢʜᴛs:"Nice to see she's still well and playful. Very nice bikini, too..." Eᴍᴏᴛɪᴏɴᴀʟ Sᴛᴀᴛᴇ: Happy, excited, curious, playful
The popsicle now half eaten, the man continued to gaze around more at the events which were happening. Maybe he should get up and enjoy one of them for a while, since he was the only one here currently out of everyone he knew. "But I'd also like for the other to be able to know where I've set up at, in case they suddenly show up." the male muttered to himself, scratching his chin. Then again, if he had spotted one of them during the events, and one of them noticed him, would they be able to wait until he was finished so that he could lead them to his spot? Although maybe he should get more towels ready for them to sit on, since his coat was, at most, big enough for only four people to comfortably sit on when spread out. And those four would likely be him and his three wives, instead of anyone else. "I wonder if they'll be showing up, too. Or they may be busy with something else instead... ah, I don't know. If they show up, then they show up. Although I wouldn't really mind seeing of them in bikinis..." the male muttered to himself, soon getting lost in thought.
In fact, he was so distracted now that he hadn't noticed someone sneaking up on him. It was until he felt two huge, soft, objects push up against his back and feel someone wrap their arms around him that he finally realized he wasn't the only one sitting here. At first he was confused as to who it was, but then he realized who the voice belong to, and was finally able to get a look at her face. "Well hey there, beautiful! Didn't expect you to get here so early." the man said, having removed the popsicle from his mouth in order to speak and kiss her. This was his second wife, Shōkodairyū Ayakashi Zen'nō-sha, whom he commonly referred to as either "Shouko (considering how long her full name was, and how many people mispronounced) or as beautiful (which was his pet name for her). He reached his free hand back, in order to be able to scratch her behind the ears, not paying much attention to all the jealous glares that he was currently getting from all the men on the beach. "Hope it's not too hot for you here. If need be, I can figure out some way to keep you cooler." the man said, having moved with her a bit so she could be on his coat instead of the blazing hot sand.
