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.]

"I'm sure you have." Minus the huge levels of failure and plus 'dude you should've seen Yuka-tan, she looked HOT', we're sure. "Where's Orpheus, anyway? You two are always together."

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

[You hit the nail on the head, Yukari. Of course, he's also noticing just how right Junpei was about that.]

Orpheus is sleeping under the umbrella I set up. The usual.

[yukarchery.livejournal.com]

And that is the power of the fashionista. She splashes a little as she glances over at Orpheus, wiggling the sand between her toes. Yup, snoozing away.

"Makes sense. He wasn't much for the beach last time, either."

Poor guy. Being stuck to Thanatos' side all the time must be tiring.

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

Oh, really? That's unfortunate... I wonder what I can do to get Orpheus to enjoy the beach? ... I just don't know what activities are usually done! Well, other than sleep. He seems to do enough of that.

[Kicks up some wet sand away from Yukari.]

[yukarchery.livejournal.com]

"You could get him to go swimming. A race or something."

Pfft, hey, watch it with that! Wading in a little deeper because man, the water's so warm~

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

Actually, I don't know how to swim. I've never been in water deeper than the hot springs at Kyoto.

[yukarchery.livejournal.com]

"You don't know how to swim? Seriously?"

Lucky you, that hot spring thing doesn't ping her radar. She's from just a few days before that trip, you see.

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

Seriously... I was never taught how.

[Let's just say Orpheus wasn't in swimming club.]

[yukarchery.livejournal.com]

"Jeez. You guys are hopeless."

Siiiigh. Are we going to have to teach you, Ryoji?

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

I'm not hopeless! I could probably learn if I was taught.

[yukarchery.livejournal.com]

"I should hope so."

Kicking some water at you now, because seriously. Was Minato's mind a huge desert or something?

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

I'm all right with just watching the waves like this with you.

[Oh no, he's getting splashed now! He laughs and splashes her right back. Hey, Thanatos passes really well as a human! He doesn't remember much about being in Minato's head, though. Just occasionally being shorter than he is now when he was Pharos.]

[yukarchery.livejournal.com]

Shorter and much, much creepier. D:

"You and your lines." she says, a small giggle escaping. A proper kick of water this time, facewards ho!

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

My lines?

[Then proceeds to get salt water to the face. EW. It tastes gross when it gets into his mouth and so he spits it out.]

[yukarchery.livejournal.com]

Victory! She laughs again, hand going up to fix her sunglasses back in place.

"Pick-up lines, Thanatos. I swear, sometimes you don't even realise you're using them."

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

Orpheus told me that once. I really don't mean to use pick-up lines! They just happen...!

[Oh hey, what's that? Thanatos dips his hand into the water right before a small waves hits his legs and pulls out a broken sea shell.] Whoa!

[yukarchery.livejournal.com]

"Sure, sure." Does not believe you, obviously, but is curious! She leans forward slightly. Hi there, bikini top. "Whatcha got there?"

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

I... It's true!

[Shows her the sea shell he picked up from the ocean. Thank Orpheus being female for allowing Thanatos to train himself not to bleed everywhere at the close proximity to breasts.] I've never seen anything like this before!

[yukarchery.livejournal.com]

"Mhm."

She tilts her head slightly, looking it over. Blame her coastal living, but it just looks like an ordinary seashell to her. Though...this is his first time at a beach, apparently.

"Pretty, isn't it?"

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's really pretty! It also looks broken, though...

[yukarchery.livejournal.com]

"Mm, some of them are. People step on them, or they just get turned that way by the waves."

It's almost endearing, how excited he is. The coast has been a part of her life for that long that she barely registers how big the ocean is.

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

That's almost a little... Sad. You know? [Looks down at the broken shell in his hands.] ... I suppose that's just how life is.

[yukarchery.livejournal.com]

"...I never really thought about it that way. It kinda is."

Surprisingly deep there, Thanatos.

"But it'll eventually become sand or coral again, y'know. Take its place in the sea in a different form."

[itsnotaleash.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you're right. [Have a smile.

Then he peers down at the shell for a moment before he throws it back into the ocean with a splash.]

[yukarchery.livejournal.com]

And we're over it? Uh, alright. Yukari turns to look at the ocean, hands behind her back again.

"Y'know, I'd forgotten how big the ocean could look."
