They had a nice bright day out.
Sun.
Sand.
And building. There were people watching. Shehk had to admit that the idea there were people watching made her a little bit nervous, but she was still dressed to run around on a beach - minus the loss of her coat - and when the attendant came around with a variety of items to choose from, it seemed like the general consensus on what to choose was the red herring.
It was a lovely red fish, but...... she wasn't sure what else what to do with it. Still, she carefully set it aside - and maybe set it off to let Israfel play with it if he felt so inclined to play at it later. Or something. Whatever, they had a fish and they'd put it into their sandcastle yet.
"Alllright guys! Should we go take a quick look around? Maybe each person go get something for our sandcastle and then come back?"

Sand and water. It gave Sammy a pause for a moment as she remembered an island, washing ashore lungs full of water before racing after the others deeper into the island. Today was different though, this island was much smaller, sunnier, oh god so much sun TOO MUCH SUN.
The ghoul clenched her eyes shut as the world went from its usual pink and purple tint with normal colors to a scolding bright purple, almost white even as the sun blasted her eyes full on. It seemed her new eyes didn't take kindly to the sun.
"Ow ow ow ow. Someone get me some sunglasses. Jack Dammit I love these eyes but ow that that ball of light that damn sun too bright..." she grumbled before carefully shuffling over to the group.
"I'm saying this now, I may be blind and unable to find anything at this moment. But if we make a castle? That thing needs a moat. No castle is complete without a moat."
True fact. Sammy was a badass. Moats where badass. This castle; once she can see again. Would be badass.

Lucien couldn't get enough of this area. The sun was bright and shining and the sky was... blue! Were they in the human world? It didn't seem to matter so much to the air spirit, quite happy to be under the blue sky and able to look up at the clouds as they ran across the sky. Well, the floated but Lucien thought they appeared to be running. It seemed like a great place for the first trial and because of that Lucien was certainly in high hopes. He paced, a little ungracefully thanks to the sand. Uck. It didn't matter how good of a mood he was in, the idea of even touching the ground always made a sour look appear on his face.
He didn't know much about what was happening with the trial but he did know that he just adored that red herring. There was just something about it. It was bright, and red, and well, a herring. There wasn't much to it, but Lucien's thoughts lingered on it until Shehk spoke out to him and the rest of his fellow team members. She suggested they look around for items for their sandcastle and the suggestion caused him to look to Shehk and then to the area around them. They needed more items to go with the red herring?
Shehk's voice wasn't the only voice at the moment though. There was another person's voice speaking after Shehk had spoken. It didn't sound pleased and after immediately wondering what a mote was, his thoughts began to wonder what was wrong with Sammy? Maybe she didn't like touching the sand either? Argh, he wished he could use his abilities to float.
"I don't like this sand, at all... it feels weird. Really weir... eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeooooooow!" He never got to finish saying weird. His word had been cut off and instead it finished with a yelp as he suddenly stopped moving. He's stepped on something and it wasn't very friendly. It was kind of pointy, kind of... angry? It was a sea urchin and it didn't approve of Lucien's foot being on top of it. Either way, the air spirit picked it up as to avoid stepping on it again, holding it out to his team members. Well.
"Can we use this?" He frowned, today just wasn't starting off nicely at all.

Israfel was highly over dressed for this. As the bright sun came into view he wince but shook it off quickly enough. Sand! The beach! Practically squealing, the siren kicked off his shoes and removed his jacket immediately. He wanted to go swimming! Could they do that? No? Okay maybe later. Either way he was excited. They got a red herring! YAY FISH! Red and pretty and it would stand proudly on their castle. "I thinkwe should name it." He smiled. "Sir Herring the red, lord of sparkling sands and saltwater! We can call him Harry for short." Israfel thought it was a good idea. Looking at Shehk then Sammy he cooed. Maybe he was the only one who liked beaches? Even if it was really bright. "We can make a moat. Oh oh! And little boats! Boats for our moats!" Looking back to his friend, Lucien looked a bit upset, but, then again he was stuck on the ground. Israfel frowned at this. Luciens belonged in the air. It was very odd because now he felt taller. So odd. Still, the boil had found something, making Israfel's ear wings flap with curiosity. "Ohhh a pokey ball. Are there more?" Israfel answered his own question as he stepped on one while trying to get to Lucien. "OW owowowowowow" Feathers puffed out, he glared at in the sand.

It was so bright out here. Even with a parasol to shade her from the sunlight, Siddie was a little shaky about being out on the beach during the day. She picked up a handful of sand, frowning at it. Why was this a trial? It seemed kind of ... silly. "I'll ... just look over here," she offered, and scurried hastily into the shade of a nearby palm tree, poking around at its base. Maybe they could use some bark? A leaf? Something heavy bounced off her parasol, jamming it down in her hand and onto the top of her head with a thunk. She yelped, and her fingers involuntarily stretched into claws at the unknown threat - and then she spotted the coconut lying in the sand, and sheepishly withdrew the claws back into her hand. She bent over, smacked the thing for good measure, then scooped it up. "Can we use this, maybe?" she called to the rest of the group.

"You just dig that moat, Sammy." Shehk encouraged as she patted the zombie ghoul on the shoulder, then looked over to see what it was Siddie had picked up. It looked like a....coconut! That could be useful, actually. "Yeah, Siddie! Keep that!" she gave the shadow ghoul a thumbs up, before she went over to see what it was that Israfel and Lucien had found...
...
...
...
Just to find another one with her foot. Fortunately she'd kept her shoes on, so the Pricolici just pulled the prickly thing off of her shoe and held it up. She looked at it, then at the two that the boils had, then at the one in her hand again.
"Why not! They're kinda pretty, I think." she thought, anyways, as she turned to go back to the place where she'd left Sammy to dig to start making a little pile of things. A beautiful little pile of things next to Harry. He was an interesting Lord, she guessed.
Maybe.

"Maybe we can use the shell or something," Siddie said, and sidled tentatively out into the sun again, clutching her parasol and holding the coconut out to her ghoulfriend. "Um. Sammy? Can you punch this and break it?" Once Sammy had taken the coconut, Siddie crouched down gingerly and leaned over to start scooping up sand with her free hand, patting it into a mound in the appointed spot. "Um - we could start with a fortress sort of thing," she suggested. "With a spot for Sir Herring the Red to sit on."

Shehk settled in next to Siddie to help with piling up sand.
"A fortress? Yeah! That's a good idea. We've got three of those uh..urchin things..so we could probably use them for a defense or something. They work really good against feet!" the Pricolici suggested.

"If we make towers, we can put the urchins on the tops of them," Siddie suggested, starting to get a little more into the idea. And - um - a wall! A good castle should have a wall around it."

Lucien threw a slightly worried glance at both Israfel and Shehk, mostly because he knew the pain of stepping on them. His feet were probably a lot more sensitive than Israfel and Shehk had shoes on but he still worried. Only a bit, because the sore feeling in his foot soon went away. Regardless, he definitely agreed that the... whatever thing he stepped on, a.k.a. the sea urchin would make a great defense for their castle. It had really hurt and all of them had stepped on one! It was bound to be wonderful.
"I agree," he said, bringing his sea urchin over and helping out by forming one of the towers.

The siren, really, had only one plan. And that was no plan at all. "Yay! That is a very nice nut Siddie. Out nuts will be the biggest I am sure." Innocent. Grabbing Lucien, The siren nodded and smiled. "We will have the best castle. We can call it.... Castle Fort Barrier Action Defense Master Towervania!" Ideas, he was full of them. Letting Lucien go as quickly as he's grabbed, the siren went to work building up some walls. "If we had shiny rocks and things we could make stone pathways and oh oh maybe we can make a little town and village and and- We should make ponies citizens from the coconut husks." ALL THE IDEAS. ALL OF THEM. The sad part is that he was being 100% serious.

It seemed to come along rather well, actually, with the five of them working. She left Sammy to dig the moat around their little castle, and it took some finessing to get the urchins on top of the 'towers' without stabbing herself repeatedly in the hands (spoiler: she stabbed herself repeatedly in the hands anyways), leaving the more aesthetic things to Siddie, Lucien, and Israfel.
Israfel who was trying to make ponies out of Coconut husks.
Whatever floated his boat, she guessed, but still, it was fun to play with, and soon the Pricolici stood and looked over their grand creation.
"This looks pretty good! Hope it holds up!" she grinned. "Anything else we need to do? Looks like people are gonna be coming around soon."

Israfel made quite a few ponies out of the husk. They were lovely coconut ponies. (Four he named after those in the school. They got to go by Harry).
Wait. Wait. It was still missing something. It was not quite finished yet jack damn it. But what? he had the ponies. The walls. They had the towers and moat and Sir Herring the Red in his throne and- and-
"OH JACK HOLD ON." Fiddling with some more husks, he fashioned a tiny crown, placing it on the fish's head. "NOW we are ready."

EXITING
It was entertaining enough to watch, and it had kept Israfel from trying to make a sand village. Never the less, with things set up, it was time to go roam a bit!
Maybe.
"Guess we can all go take a look at the other castles now, see what we're up against." she grinned, shooting a very..aimed glance...towards one of the other groups, wasting absolutely no time in actually skedaddling over to see what they'd been up to.
