[The following text message is typed fairly urgently.]

so the weathers starting to get a little cooler
its not just me noticing this, right??
that means summer is almost over (｡•́︿•̀｡)

weve gotta have a party!
a beach party!! before its too late!

you cant just let summer end without having a beach party, thats just wrong
you gotta have beach volleyball! and watermelon splitting! and swimsuits and tasty food and all the other stuff

do you think theyd let us have a beach party here? if I find a place to do it, everyone is invited!
we gotta send summer off properly! (*•̀ᴗ•́*)و ̑̑

Watermelon splitting?

[That better be as violent as it sounds.]

[ayes]

yes!! its really fun you put a watermelon on the beach and one person has a big stick or bat and they get blindfolded and everyone else calls out where for them to go and aim and they gotta take a big swing! you only get one swing b4 its someone elses turn and then afterwards everyone eats the watermelon!

[beatupgrass]

What happens if you hit someone else instead of hitting the watermelon.

Strictly speaking this could get very bloody very fast.

text

[ayes]

well that would be a really bad accident! but usually everyone gives the blindfolded person plenty of space and moves out of the way so it probably wouldnt happen, thankfully!

Is now really the time for a celebration?

hi you!
this sounds very fun!!!
i have never been to a beach party
what kind of things do we need for one?
just the things you said here?

[Every party needs a pooper that's why they invited you party pooper] Well... it can't hurt, right? We have to keep everyone's spirits high!

ohhhh youve never had a watermelon??? you are missing out princess!!! watermelon is a big melon like maybe 1.5x the size of your head and its green and its got a really juicy sweet inside its like THE perfect summer food! so you put a watermelon on the sand and take turns being blindfolded with a big stick and everyone is calling directions where to aim and you gotta take a big swing! and then everyone eats the watermelon you split open haha its kind of pointless but a lot of fun!

[fakers]

Considering we have no idea what the future may bring, it's hard to know whether it might "hurt" or not.

[ just... raining, everywhere, constantly. ]

But perhaps that's good reason for why something like this is necessary to begin with.

[ayes]

technically??? the only things you need for a beach party are you, and a beach! hahaha but yeah! some watermelons to split, some food and drink, maybe somehow set up a volleyball net oh also we need a ball you can't play it without a ball everyone just goes to the beach and has a nice time you can swim or you can stay on the sand but its really great! you TOTALLY have to come! do you swim?

[ayes]

Exactly! It's just fun to enjoy the warm weather while it lasts! We can't be super serious and grim all the time!

[Well, us normal people can't. Maybe you're special, Emiya.]

oh man, you are SO right!
we gotta fix this ASAP
can't let summer go by without a proper send-off!
think we could find some fireworks?

[ Because there definitely needs to be fireworks. ]

[fakers]

I haven't gone as far as the coast, but from what I can tell that area appears to be unsettled. [ he thinks? ] It may not be safe to try a party there.

[ he definitely can be a grouch, at all times. ]

What is volleyball? And I wonder how far it is to the nearest beach, as well.

I've not heard of a beach party before, but I think it would be interesting to see.

You can count me in!
I'm happy to help with anything that you need, too. It would be super fun to go to the beach.
I'm sure people will be fine with it as long as the water is safe.

[beatupgrass]

That takes half the fun out of watching it.

[IT'S NOT AS FUN UNLESS THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF A RISK FOR PAIN.]

text

[ayes]

uhh wait are you saying you want people to be near the guy splitting the watermelon? why?? its just supposed to be a fun little game not get anyone hurt (・_・;)

[ayes]

Well... right, obviously we're going to need to find a safe place. But I'm sure one exists! I'll just have to ask the locals about it.

text

[ayes]

ohhhh fireworks would be great!! they might be a little harder to come by BUT if we could get them theyd really make it feel like an end-of-summer thing what a fantastic idea!

text

[ayes]

oh its a sport where Im from! there are teams on either side of a high net and they hit a ball back and forth if the ball lands on the ground on the other team's side, you get a point! beach volleyball is well its exactly like that but you play it on sand

text

[ayes]

thanks lena!! I mean its a beach party not a swim party right but youre right it would be a real shame to go all that way and not be able to go for a swim ahhhhh I miss swimming in the ocean so much

[punshots]

we might have a few confiscated in the guard station! i'll check

[ they were probably confiscated for a reason, prompto ]

but yeah, they'd really be the icing on the cake, huh?
but even if we have to go it without them, it'll still be a great party!
thanks for suggesting it 💯

[fakers]

[ ugh, he's going to regret this, but... ]

If you need help scouting out locations, I don't mind helping. Learning the lay of the land should come in handy for... less festive purposes, later on.

I'm saying you have a perfect set-up to add a little danger to the mix and you're not committing. It's totally fun! It ain't like anyone's getting their kneecaps broken.
