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.]

[No response. Why? Because he's still asleep with a book on his face. Try pulling one of the headphones out and making a loud noise. Or smacking him on the head. Either way gets the same effect of OKAY I'M AWAKE.]

...

Lifts up the book.

Also, those wings are kind of blocking your sun.

He would wake you up, but he's just wondering if the dead actually need any sleep.

[clockstopped]

[His eyes are still shaded by said wings, thus still sleeping. Move them out of the way so the sun blinds him through his eyelids. Profit! And... that's a good question. Maybe if you find a dead person that actually sleeps. Since if he puts out the effort to check, it's not so much rest as it is an internal struggle. The half of the soul in this form being clawed at by some insurmountable being. ...Hmm. You know, you'd almost swear it's that dude your mom dated in high school. Odd that.]

[Erebus never paid child support D:]

Hmm, this is curious.

Scanning.

.....!

That's...not sleeping. Maybe he shouldn't 'wake him up.'

Oh snap but the wings move out of the way in surprise though. Damn.

[clockstopped]

[That's because Erebus is a dick. And constantly trying to hook up with your mom again. BE HAPPY I'M PREVENTING IT B| askljclzkjlasda sun in eyes SUN IN EYES Winces and holds a hand up to block it, blinking to try and get the dots away. Oh wait person. No not person, Death God. ... Sup?]

... Hello Thanatos.

[And pauses MP3 player with the hand not blocking the sun out. YOU COULD'VE DONE SOMETHING ELSE TO WAKE ME UP INSTEAD OF BLINDING ME ORZ]

[greekreaper.livejournal.com]

"...Hi."

PROVIDES SHADE AGAIN, SINCE HE FEELS KIND OF DUMB JUST STANDING THERE.

[clockstopped]

[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.]
