On The Beach You don't need to use the dice rolls below, if you do not want to. They are there for those who want to add random events to their beach experience.
Bonfires: What night on the beach would be complete without them. As the sun slips beneath the ocean and light slowly fades. More than a few evenly spaced out bonfires keep the darkness at bay. Somewhere between the pier and the sands, a couple stages are set up for a varity of bands where music is played to incite passion and rhythmn within its listeners' bodies. Sand Castle Competition - [Roll a 1d100. Can only roll once, highest number wins a prize] Surf lessons - [Roll a 1d100. 10 or less, a shark appears, 11-25 Sting rays, 26-50 jelly fish; takes 5 posts to learn how to surf] Wake-boarding [90 or more, dolphins approach to make friends. Anything below 90 is a CRAB ATTACK!] Fishing off the pier. - [Roll 1 die per post with 100 sides. If you get 100 you catch 'The Goldfin'] Volleyball You can roleplay this without any system, or you can use the below system for some extra competitiveness. If you use this system let Narx know! There may be a extra prize!
Size of Teams: 3v3 or 4v4.
Team chooses red side or black size. Doesn't really matter in end. Just for visual. First team on scene can choose. Each player gets a designated number from 1-4. Pick however you like! You will be red four or black four depending on which side you pick!
Each time you post roll a 1d4 and a 1d10 die. The 1d4 decides which quadrant the ball goes to on your side or enemy side. Only the third hit on your side will send it over to the opponent's side. Otherwise it is on your side!
The first hit, the serve, sends the ball to the enemy side though. After that each 1d4 die roll will keep the ball on the same side, until the third hit where it comes back over.
Third hit. On the third hit, 1-2 = fail. Miss or trip, and enemy gets to serve. 3-8 the ball goes to opponents for their own rally. Hitting it 3 times till it goes over. And 9 and 10 = score a point!
We would say that three members of each team MUST hit the ball, and the third hit must be to send it over the net to try and score. Each hit must be a die roll, and there is no post order, just that the first person to reply hits. So if you have 4 people one person might not hit it each time its on your side. Just depends on how slow they are at posting.
Every time you roll two dice, one says which quadrant the ball goes to , and the other die roll is a success die. 1d4 decides where the ball goes. And 1d10 for success. 1 and 2 are failures, 3-10 are success.
Once per game you can add 1/10th of you character's post count to the roll. Giving most people an automatic success.
So one team starts by serving it, and they roll 1d4: RESULT 4. So it goes to the 4th quadrant on enemy team.
You only hit it to your team for the first and second hit, the third hit is the one that sends over and this one had a 50% chance of failure. 1-5 = no point.
Things had taken quite the turn during the mission which left the rabbit faunus quite in the mood. The whole ride home she said nothing and even if confronted by those that remained about Aya being left behind she kept her silence. She didn’t owe them any justification. They had been warned of the dangers. This was just a natural consequence of their line of work. She had more important matters to worry about. Anything that was not related to her or Hades never grasped her attention for too long. Nothing else mattered except the two of them, in her mind and world after all.
If one thought her mood was difficult before, her current state only amplified things, something that became more noticeable as the weeks moved on into the Fire Festival. She was not fully to blame, not with what was going on with her body. Half the time she found herself annoyed, regretting the situation. It was not a pleasant experience. Why did she have to feel the need to randomly cry over silly things? She was not like this! Poor Hades, having to deal with it all.
At first she hadn’t shown interest in coming to the Fire Festival, preferring to be home to avoid crowds but, Hades had convinced, or rather bribed, her into coming. In all honesty it didn’t take much. People could think what they wanted about her, at some point it was going to be hard to hide.
Wearing a loose beach dress Blair rested against a railing to stairs leading down into the sand waiting for Hades to arrive. Hopefully he had forgotten about their little bet. She did not want to be in a Talent show…
¨Are you okay? Be careful!!!¨ Hades commented as he would meet up with his significant other. Unlike her, he was wearing some shorts and sandals. Shirt was optional so he went without it. He was in worried mode. HE wanted to make sure everything was stable for Blair and that she was well taken care of. She did have a little bean that she was developing in her stomach. He was not worried about Aya. He knew how Bashmu was. she was going to be released eventually. Besides, it was what the class did that caused her be kidnapped. The group did not follow the plans so the consequences they had to live with it. The bribe to get her out of the house and at the Fire Festival was worth it as well. In his hand he a funnel cake size carrot cake just for Blair. It even had butter creme icing on it and a little hint of actual carrots in it as well. ¨Here you go darling. Are you feeling okay?¨ (ooc. ”

“Be careful!? Excuse me!?” Blair scoffed out at Hades the moment he arrived. “I am not some fragile porclean doll!” What was he gawking about!? Her be careful? “I am pregnant not useless!” The rabbit faunus hissed at him visibly annoyed he was treating her like some child. Had they not gone on dangerous assignments together? Had they not both faced death constantly? This was nothing! Her nose tilted upward as she scoffed once more but it was then that her eyes spotted the cake that was just for her. Slowly, just as soon as her nose finished raising up towards the air it lowered, hands reaching for the tasty treat. “I am fine…” she lowered her gaze avoiding him. “Thank you… sorry….” Hopefully by now he was used to the fact she was going to be well, quite the wild card, well more than usual at least. She had always been difficult. Now? Well it was more often. Deep down she understood his concern, it was their parasite after all, he cared. But that still did not give him a reason to treat her like she suddenly couldn’t take care of herself! “Are you doing alright? Assignment go well?” He was still teaching, which meant he was at times gone for a few days at a time for lessons or missions for the students.
She did not take too kindly of that comment but Hades was not going to back down from her. She needed to be careful! He was not going to be controlling but he was going to step in when need be. This was just a warning though. Looking at the woman, she seemed t be a lot moodier than he remembered. It must of been one of those days. ¨NO one is saying you are useless Sweetie. NO you are not a Periclean doll...you would of been broken by then¨..She scoffed but reached out for the cake knowing it was her treat. Smirking, he would hand it over without issue while seeing she was avoiding looking at him. ¨I just being protective is all....¨
Silence grew between them before she brought up his teaching and assignments. ¨I haven´t done nothing but schooling. Decided scale back on the survival extreme tactics for now. At least until things get back to normal. Still aint got her back but he will bring her back eventually. Seems you have had history with our little blue haired friend huh??¨ He wondered curiously. He was just asking but the conversations before with Bashmu and Blair could possibly rear his ugly head. He did not sound accusatory like she was hiding something. Though, Bashmu was making it seem like maybe just maybe there was something being hidden by Hades. Considering how wild his few classes were, could he? Or was it all just things that did not matter?

Blair took in a deep breath and sighed as she slipped a piece of cake into her mouth. “I know…” she mumbled between bites. She was no fool, she understood Hades meant well. “It’s all new for me. It’s weird… worrying about someone other than myself. I get frustrated easily knowing the things I have to stay out of because of the added risk.” Another piece was popped into her mouth as Hades moved onto another topic, one she would rather not discuss. Aya and Bashmu, though her mind was more focused on the later, the slithering worthless worm. Her face twisted in pure disgust at the thought of the man. “Wither she is rescued or not is on the others,” Blair was going to have no part in it. While her pregnancy made for the perfect excuse, she didn’t want to anyways, it had been their fault anyways. The plan was a good one but, they were inexperienced and acted out rashly. It was what it was.
“Bashmu…” She muttered as she set the cake down on a table under some shade and took a seat, her eyes gazing out at the ocean for a moment before continuing. “Unfortunately I do.” Her chin rested into a palm as she turned her attention back onto Hades. “He has tried to have his way with me, faunus or not, didn’t matter to him.” She had never told Hades, not out of malice, but because it hadn’t seemed like it was important at the time. “He has been more persistent lately, he may suspect you and I are a thing. Keeps trying to taint my mind with petty little taunts that you aren’t worth it and some s**t about him being the greatest thing I would ever experience.” She rolled her eyes at the thought. “Nothing more than a worm, not worth my time, let alone my thoughts.” She paused as she looked at Hades with a sincere face. “I am sorry I never told you. It was not intended as some dark secret. Just nothing I think about once it is over.”
The poor girl, she barely knew how to love and now she had to deal with protecting herself and being deprived of fun. Hades did not know what entirely to say to the woman. She seemed to be all over the place. He at least chuckled at little as she mumbled and took the cake. She strangely looks cute when mad but eating desert. It adorable in odd way. he thought to himself as he continued to watch her. The mumbling between bites was new in a way because she was not mad at him but she was just annoyed at the situation. Being too weird for her. “ I know it sucks sweetie but think of it this way. It only 9 months and then be back what you want to do. Sort of. “ He explained before going on to the next topic. She seemed to be disgusted by it. He only asked about the blue haired one but it seemed that there was some things on her mind that brought up a bad memory. He knew Aya was going to fly under the radar because she should of stick to the plan. Hades meant what he said and he gave Aurtrox a warning. He knew it was a live mission. They didn't follow the plan. They dealt with the consequences.
“Bashmu huh?” He wondered, trying to think of the name. He never really heard it before but something about that name was setting an alarm off in him. He was not quite sure. Wasn't there a rumor going around about him though? During this time he had followed Blair who lead them from the stairs to some seats. The shade would block the sun as she continued to talk. She didn't face him though. Not at first, but she would once the conversation picked back up. He would nod in understanding. “Hmmmmm. Sounds like I have competition. Interesting. Or something more to it. Maybe EOC a bigger threat than I realized. “I not mad that you didn't tell me. Honestly, I just happy you are okay. He may be a bigger head ache down the road. If anything, you told me now so that important no?” He asked with a smile before going over and kissing her cheek. “I do like the dress” He added sweetly.

The blonde rabbit faunus kept herself entertained with her carrot cake as Hades mulled over her responses. She had opted not to continue the conversation about the nine month long parasite she was in the process of carrying. No amount of talking was going to change that fact. It was a situation she had allowed herself to get into and now had to bare the consequences. At least she had Hades to annoy. After all, misery likes company.
Slowly she nodded her head in the middle of placing another spoonful of cake into her mouth. While she was always a glutton for such a delectable means of using carrots, she now had the excuse she was “eating for two”. ”Yes, Bashmu.” This intrigued Hades, it wasn’t that much of a surprise. He had no reason to truly be mad at her, she was loyal, he had no reason for concern in that department. His focus naturally shifted to the reason why Bashmu was interested in them. ”It is possible. Before with the two of us, it was easier to keep things more under the radar. New additions means more possibility of information slipping through the cracks.” She shrugged but soon smirked as she gave him a slight wink. ”Or perhaps he just has a secret thing for sexy bad a** faunus chicks?” Perhaps Hades really had nothing to do with it?
Staring down at her summer dress she rolled her eyes. ”I could wear a potato sack and it would still look good~” It seemed the carrot cake was a good choice. It was lightening her mood? Or maybe it was just his presence.
Seems she not having fun with that bundle of joy. Wonder does she regret it? Or just the hormones kicking in? We are a little toxic he thought to himself as he watched her attack the cake. He thought more conversation come about the child but maybe that was something for more when the months moved along Maybe she did not calculate the consequences of...acting like the animal she was.
Gluttony was of no mind to Hades, but he knew she was eating for two. More apparent by how she was devouring the treat he had for her. Shifting over to Bashmu, no real hits came up in Hades mind. HE heard rumors but down to the actual truth he had no idea about Bashmu and anything he heard did not make sense. HE was random and illogical. More chaotic than Hades on any day. What was his motivations. Hearing her ideas made him chuckle. Especially the last part. ¨Well maybe, but that means I would have to break his fingers. He can find his own woman.¨ Hades added before the compliment.
The idea of her wearing a potato sack was interesting. Especially if she seemed to be so confident. ¨Hmm. Tempting to try out. As for anything fun planned for the day. Not really. Just going to hang out and talk. Be a normal couple and see where things are¨ He commented as a weapon rested against his shoulders as he smirked. It was her hammer. ¨And, I booked a little event. a smashing room..help get out the rage and moodiness from you a little.. I know no strenuous activity but I am sure you can still smash a hammer¨

The color in her cheeks shifted, blood gathering in her face to form a flush. The thought of Hades breaking Bashmu's fingers, or worse, for even thinking about laying a hand on her brought a strange sensation within. Perhaps it was heartburn? No, she had long accepted that it was being caused by her emotions, emotions that affected her in unique ways when it came to the physical plane of existence. Having Hades protect her, wanting him to protect her, didn't make her any less capable, especially not in his eyes. She had already proven herself to him long ago. There was no need for an act. Her vulnerability, her humanity could come out for him.
"Let us not speak of the unimportant any longer. They do not deserve any of our energy spent on them." She stated setting down the fork, the cake was nowhere to be seen. Hardly a crumb remained.
"Normal couple?" A hand rose delicately to her lips as she let out an amused chuckle. "No why would we ever want to be normal? Getting bored of your godhood already?" So this was the mood she was in now? What had been annoyance was now a sweet childlike amusement. A rare sight unless you were Hades. Standing up she removed herself from her chair moving her way towards where Hades was seated.
Her body leaned forward, lush lips drawing in close to his. "Of course I can smash~" The last of her words before meeting with his lips, soft but hiding a passion underneath a delicate surface, one that was oh so easy to break under his guidance.
Hades nodded. She wanted to let it go and he would for now. Besides, it was not like he was any importance to them at the moment. He kidnapped a child. He did not kidnap her or that would of been a different set of destruction from the god. Looking over to his partner in crime and thinking about Atlas and its upcoming voyage, he did not know whether to inform her of the possibilities they may not be able go for now. He knew she could handle her self and he protect her but military protocol was a pain. Maybe there were options but he hated being watched per say.
Her chuckle brightened his mood a little more. He figured she would find that part amusing. The attack on his godhood was hardly anything he couldn´t handle. ¨I like to sometimes come down and peak at what the normal couples are doing and try it. I know we will never be truly normal couple~ Especially considering the things that were done in the dark. Still the facade could be fun¨ he admitted. The double meaning left hanging in the air as he tapped a plant dust vial. He watched as the empty plate was set aside and she moved closer to Hades. Her last words assuring she still be able to do at least 2 things. Their lips connected into a sweet kiss hidden by an Umbrella connected to Hades chair. His eyes glowed softly from her touch.
¨When you use that tone~ you trying to start something. It´s hard to keep hands off a goddess. Especially when she wearing such a lovely dress¨ Hades commented before stealing another kiss, the lips lingering a little longer and diving closer to the a dangerous rush. ¨I think we should go ahead get our day started before I decide to have some desert of my own¨ He teased as he licked a bit of frosting from her cheek that was still there.

What had started off as quite the rocky relationship had settled into something firm. Something she could lean and count on. Things were far from perfect but perfection was boring. Now that she had given herself completely to Hades, there was little he couldn’t do to help bring a smile to her face. Everything he did brought a different reaction and he knew her well enough to know what to do to pull out her different faces. A small laugh left her lips, soft tones of music for him to listen to as he spoke about pretending to be normal. “I guess pretending has always been fun. Undercover work is some of our specialty after all. A mask for a moment. A game to make things different from the norm. I’ll play along,” she stated with a gentle caress to his cheek.
The shared kiss, the tease and double meaning brighting her smile into a devilish smirk. Finger twirling strands of his dark air. “Me? Trying something? I would never dare,” she gasped pretending she was offended. “I am innocent…” She couldn’t do it. She failed to keep a straight face. A snort erupted from her as she leaned into him for support. “Ok… anything but innocent and… hmm…” Her head tilted as she sat into his lap, legs off to the same side as if he were carrying her. “What's wrong with starting with dessert?” She questioned, whispering close to his ear. What was the worst that could happen? They already were living the consequences of a previous meal.
“Anyways…” She stood, the tease over for the moment. She had never been the one to care for certain things in such a public space. It was probably the only thing keeping her ‘safe’ for the time being. “Normal couple things…. hmm…..” She tapped her chin. “Well… hmmm hmm.” What was something they could do here at the beach that was normal and wouldn’t affect her current condition. “We could build a sand castle? Or fly kites?” She stated spotting some others doing the same.
¨I always figured we liked pretending because foreplay just so fun and our specialty. Maybe it a coping mechanism because we know we never be normal in this world of Anima? ¨ Considering the direction where their relationship came from, he was happy that they were at this point. Compromise...no true arguments or issues. No regrets either. Enjoying the kiss and his double meaning of the words, she would play with his hair while bringing up a little lie. Or, she was more working on her acting. The irony being Blair was the one who started things roughly 50% of the time which Hades enjoyed. The take charge nature being balanced with her sweet submissiveness that she only gave to him.
The bursting of laughter wold come. Her innocence surely did not last long They both knew better. He would not make her act innocent. That was for sure. She was allowed act any way that she wanted. A quick change and it seemed things were going to go other other direction. Blair was adding onto the heat of the day until her teasing stopped. A sweat drop dripping down Hades face. It was a good thing she stopped short.. They did not need be arrested for other things. She was right. While Hades would not care, Blair was not a public person.
¨that be nice. Make sand castles. See if one of us can win the contest and afterwards celebrate with some ice cream from the boardwalk. OR actual food¨ He agreed while caressing her side a little. ¨Come on love, I believe we still can make it in time for sign ups¨

The fact she could make Hades squirm as she did brought a rush of adrenaline, clear by the smirk tainting her face as her tease left him yearning for more. She had no doubt he would make sure he got it, eventually, and she would be more than ready and willing. Her current condition or not, she would never deny him, not really. At most she may just delay the inevitable if the mood justified it.
Taking Hades hand she would nod. “Alright, normal sand castle building it is.” Together they would walk off to the sign ups and once there were taken off to their designated area. “Let’s make a sand cereby~” Blair suggested with a childlike delight to her tone. “Castles are boring. But tigers are cool!”
Taking a seat on the sand she flicked a few grains at Hades face. “I will sit and watch, boss you around, you do all the word,” she commanded with a playful display of her tongue exiting her mouth. “I mean… moving isn’t all that easy you know” she winked as she pointed down at her tummy clearly taking advantage of the pregnancy card to be catered on.
Hades truly was a bad influence wasn´t he? Or did Blair have this side to her always and he just unlocked it? Who entirely knew. He has had women before that could make him squirm but none were better at it than Blair. Maybe it was the familiarity between the two that a regular stranger in the past did not have. Ironically, it had never came up in his head about their relationship situation. About his changes in ideology and behavior. Was it all Blair or something else into play. Maybe Hades always had a loyal bone, but just needed to be activated. As they walked off, they would make it to the sign ups just in time. There were others there, but mostly families and a few other couples. Lots of kids entered as well. Hearing her idea of a sand Cereby, Hades knew Cereby´s anatomy too well, but that came with living with such a beast for years. Still, could he make a sand sculpture out of it? They will have to find out. The child like demeanor did throw him off mentally for a second. She was not into DDLG so that was not it. It was something more innocent in his head. A sad smile came across his face. ¨Sure thing !¨ he replied simply.
Why was he sad? He thought about Blair past. Now granted, he did try to kill her family and basically kidnapped her on some Stockholm s**t. Maybe. Its debatable. However, he did actually care for her and brought her food and stuff. While his child hood was nothing special, it had to be sad and unfortunate growing up to be seen as nothing but a weapon and without true family affection. Hades had it rough but he still had family. Technically speaking.
As she sat down, a few grains of sand got into Hades hair as he chuckled at her comment. ¨This just foreplay at this point" He retorted, ¨I did not know pregnancy made you a dom¨ he would add before getting the supplies together and starting at the base of making a sand Cereby. Had to make the claws first right? or the legs? Maybe a flat base so look like a statue! There was many options. ¨sure don´t wanna come and help??" ”
