open | come bury your toes in the sand

[redigere]

WHO: Naminé and friends; open to passersby
WHERE: Beach near Heropa
WHEN: October 15th
WHAT: BEACH PARTY! Feel free to create a new prompt if the ones below don't appeal to you.
WARNINGS: None for now!

It'd taken a lot of last minute scrambling, a lot of runs to the grocery store, and a lot of help from her friends. But as Naminé steps back from the set up, she smiles. Allows herself a little bit of pride in what she's accomplished.

The home tent is where all the food is. Fold up tables have been loaded with an array of sandwiches, finger foods, and drinks, and a cooler nearby has fish and other seafood goodies to be grilled at the bonfire once someone gets hungry for it. This is also where she'll direct friends to drop off snacks and homemade goodies. Please do not sneak any of the chocolate and marshmallows meant for s'mores later.

Close by is the rest area, which is really just a big spread of blankets and a couple fold up chairs on the sand. She doesn't expect everyone to want to stay standing up all day, after all. Naminé knows she's going to be there for a bit, chatting with friends who are visiting, and she may have started a tiny sandcastle and collection of sea shells at the edge of the blankets as well.

The volleyball net and accompanying volleyball are borrowed from a co-worker, so it definitely needs to get back to her in one piece. There's plenty of space for other sports and competitions though...perhaps a game of soccer? And how could anyone ignore the ocean? She and a few others will likely be waist deep in it, learning and practicing how to swim.

Not bad for her first party. Now all she has to do is wait for her guests.

[She's already made another skewer by now, which she uses for a demonstration.]

Mmhm, hold the stick so that the marshmallow is over it, like this. Take it out when you think it's done, and then you can put it on some crackers and chocolate.

[ Ame does as he is told, approaching the marshmallow of the fire, though keeping an eye on namine's to make sure he is doing it right ]

I don't like chocolate, though.

[redigere]

That's okay, marshmallow tastes fine with just the cracker, too.

[Not that she's ever tried it before herself buuut. And then she's leaning in to blow out the little burst of fire on the gooey end of her skewer.]

Be careful your marshmallow doesn't catch fire, too!

[okamichild]

[ he doesn't know about marshmallows, they actually look very weird. And to cook them? That's even weirder. But he will do as he is being taught; he isn't going to say no without trying it. ]

Ame eventually pulls the marshmallow away from the fire and looks at it for a second. ] And now just put it on a cracker?

[redigere]

Yes! Here, let me--

[She brings over the graham cracker box and offers it to him.]

My friends like it between two crackers, but it's really up to you.

[okamichild]

[ Ame grabs the crackers and decides he will just use one for now, to see how it goes. Once the melted marshmallow is on top of it, and eyes it for a moment ]

Alright- [ he will try it and give it a bite. Again, the texture isn't what Ame is used to, like most candies, but it's not so terrible ] it's not so bad.

[redigere]

[She looks up from swishing two crackers together, the chocolate and marshmallow oozing together.]

Great! If you'd like some more, help yourself! But we still have all that junk food left over too...

[What...are they going to do with it if there's still leftovers after the party???]

[okamichild]

[ share it among yourselves ]

Thank you.

- this is what a beach party is? [ he imagined something sort of different. ]

[redigere]

I've never been to a beach party before, so I wouldn't know. But I think this one isn't that bad. What do you think?
