Yakushima Beach // Open

[itsnotaleash]

[Once you enter through the door with an obvious yellow scarf tied around the doorknob, you'll find yourself on the soft, warm sands of the beach. This isn't just any beach, of course, but the beach at Yakushima! For now, the skies are clear of all clouds as the sun shines down and causes the clear, blue ocean to sparkle. It's really a gorgeous sight. ... Unfortunately, it's a private beach so there are no babes in bikinis, but Thanatos can hope that a few babes from the Mall will drop by so he can gaze upon their curves.

He's also currently setting up a small spot on the beach. At the moment it's just two beach chairs, one for Orpheus, along with a huge beach umbrella and a few towels. Thanatos seems really exited as he strips off his shirt so now he's only in black swim trunks with a pattern of little, white skulls. How adorable. ... He then pauses to look at a bottle of sun tan lotion. He remembers his Junpei once mentioning how girls liked it when they had it rubbed on their backs. Thanatos has a mission. For now, though, he's going to set the bottle aside and zoom off towards the ocean. THIS IS SO EXCITING, HE'S BEEN WAITING FOR THIS.

... Can Death even swim? Looks like we'll all get to find out as he splashes into the waves.]

[Cool, immunity to sun. Kind of. Just rubs eyes afterwards while yawning. Would rather still be not!sleeping. Damn being social.]

[greekreaper.livejournal.com]

...Finally decides to sit down, since he's awake already.

"Sorry, I just. I didn't think the Dead needed sleep. So I didn't know you were actually sleeping."

Yeah we're not mentioning what we found out, goddamn.

[clockstopped]

[That earns a sigh, only slightly pained and about 90% exasperated. At least it's a better reason than "I was bored". Really now.]

It's all right.

[greekreaper.livejournal.com]

"Hrrmm." Wiiiiing stretching, ah that sun.

"Ever been here before?"

[clockstopped]

When I was alive, yes.

[greekreaper.livejournal.com]

"Huh. This is really nice."

Enjoying vacation, be right back.

[clockstopped]

It is. [And back to leaning back and staring into the sky. Really is a nice place, yeah.]

[greekreaper.livejournal.com]

...

"Do humans do these kind of things a lot?"

[clockstopped]

Most of them. Occasionally for vacations and the like.

[greekreaper.livejournal.com]

"Huh. Vacations, huh?"

[clockstopped]

[A short "Mn" sound of acknowledgment, then back to silence. What an engaging conversation :| ]

[greekreaper.livejournal.com]

...

"I wonder if I should just stay here."

[clockstopped]

Not like time passes in your world anyway.

[Figures it's common knowledge. Whoops. ... Well hey, influencing decisions yay?]

[greekreaper.livejournal.com]

"Mmn. I kind of figured that, since this place exists outside time. Soo..."

Is thinking.

"Has that ever been tested, though?"

[clockstopped]

I'm not allowed to, but some others have proved it already.

[greekreaper.livejournal.com]

"Not allowed to? Huh."

More thinking.

"Moros would know that I'm gone, though."

[clockstopped]

I have reason to suspect my door is the one being chained shut.

[But no comment on the second part. God or not, you have a Free Will. Just make a choice and stick with it.]

[greekreaper.livejournal.com]

"...Oh." He was wondering what was up with the chains.

After awhile he just flips over on his stomach.

"If time isn't passing, I'll just stick around for awhile."

He still really can't figure how his being gone would fly under Moros' radar, but whatever. Sticking around.

[clockstopped]

[Yeah, it's keeping the exboyfriend away. DO NOT PLAY WITH THE CHAINS.]

... All right. [Maybe he's loafing on a beach somewhere with a dimensional alternate of one of your other siblings. YOU NEVER KNOW. Abandon all logic ye who enter here etc.]

[greekreaper.livejournal.com]

"...ehhhh."

Resting head on arms.

"It's been so nice here. I wanted to thank everyone I've met for being so kind."

[clockstopped]

Why would you have to thank them?

URGH CORNY AM I

[greekreaper.livejournal.com]

"...I don't normally get this treatment. And you should give thanks for gifts, I think."

The Meido Incident was a minor setback.

SOKAY BRO. YOU ARE FROM THAT ERA AFTER ALL

[clockstopped]

...

[This is the stare reserved for when the boss says something particularly stupid. FEEL HONORED.]

It's not a gift. That's just how people act. You don't have to thank them.

DOES IT REALLY SHOW THAT BAD?

[greekreaper.livejournal.com]

"...They don't normally act like that around me, but thank you, Orpheus."

[SO HONORED]

YES. YES IT DOES.

[clockstopped]

Because those here are more willing to accept you.

[The average shmo is more likely to go the AHHHHHHHH DEATH GTFO route. And a tired dismissing handwave at your thanks. Whatever bro not worth thanking me over. Next time show your thanks by not waking me up.]
