date 1 - beach group b

[snackcakeordeath]

🍰 You're here at the beach🏖️ with some of the people YOU rated the 🔥hottest🔥 in town, so get ready for your chance to make a summer memory that'll last forever☀️!

🍰 It's up to you to create the 💖best date ever💖. Pick your special someone or someones and find an activity to really wow 'em!

🍰 If sun and surf🏄 doesn't float their boat, then make your move during that gorgeous sunset, or around a bonfire in the evening--timing and activities🦈 are up to you.

🍰 You'll need a public thread with all of your teammates where at least 1 thing is done as a group👫👬. Feel free to have any number of additional threads, public or private, with individual or groups of teammates; the extra effort should pay off with both your datemates and your hosts. Assume that everyone has opportunities to be 💑alone👩‍❤️‍👩🏽 with each other person.

🍰 At the end of the dates💕, you'll play Marry💍/Kiss💋/Kill☠️ on your datemates. Rate your dates✌️🖕 and you're free to go--but remember, they'll be rating you, too😨🤞. Hopefully you pulled out all the stops for all your dates!😎⚰️

🍰 Need some activity suggestions?
+ Swimming, snorkeling, or surfing🏄
+ Kite flying, beach volleyball, or burying someone into a sand castle🐚
+ Scary stories, sparklers, or s'mores over the bonfire🎆
+ Don't forget suntan lotion, you wouldn't want your poor datemates to burn!👒

🍰 At the end of the day, vote here.

[she has to think about that one for a second]

...Don't think so. Seems kinda unlikely any of 'em were married.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

[doesn't seem to have expected that]

I hadn't realized it was more Death Race than Indy 500. Was there some sort of combat involved?

[you_like_ike]

I miss having a sword in my hand. Let me know if you do run across any weapons.

[Starts swimming as it gets deeper, but after awhile...]

...Huh? What's this? ...I can't see the bottom anymore.

[you_like_ike]

...Oh gods no, I would sooner die than enter the slave trade. He owned the ship we traveled on, and later he fought alongside us.

[fastandloose]

—Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a murderer or anythin’. Combat between the racers was against the rules, ‘cept for the Wreckers, who were there for that. Plenty of other ways to die, though, and you could fight wildlife or the locals all you wanted. And they sent all the Wreckers after us at the end there, so it was kill or be killed.

[fastandloose]

Huh. Not really how I’d imagined dragons. Not that I did much imaginin’ anyway, they’re nothing more than an old story where i’m from.

[you_like_ike]

...Well, the ones I know are laguz, like Ranulf. Except Ranulf is a cat laguz. If you haven't met a laguz before, they have a natural form, the dragons being a scaly animal like you said, and a form that looks like us...

[Trails off. He's not really good at just... explaining stuff. Turns away a moment, then looks back at her.]

I don't feel comfortable just standing around here. Do you want to find food with me? Or go swimming? Or anything, really.

[fastandloose]

Either sounds good to me. Swim and then grab some food?

[you_like_ike]

I would like that. Just let me know if a mutant crocodile does appear...

[Steps deeper into the water.]

[i_like_ike]

No. This is a display of power and psychological manipulation on the part of our captors.

[waddles into the water]

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

I'm not judging you for causing a few deaths, things happen. I just hadn't realized there was more to the competition than just tech and speed. Seems like a lot to prepare for; I didn't mean to sell you short.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

Sure, I'll check the closet for battle axes when we get home.

[kaiba doesn't go out quite as far, and seems to check back regularly to see how far the current has taken them from where they started]

The ocean's pretty deep, that's the point. Bad time to get a cramp, if you were considering it.

[streetwolf]

[He's back to running around all other the place once the ball is picked up.]

[streetwolf]

Just over two years now... At least when they kick me I know I've made them mad. It's when they're planning you've got worry.

[streetwolf]

Err, what?

[He coughs.] That'd be fun. Probably a bad idea with my recent record, but fun.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

If you've lasted this long, you've probably got it all down. They would've already destroyed you by now if they weren't fond of you.

[i_like_ike]

Not particularly.

[Frrrrrowns. WHAT DO PEOPLE ACTUALLY DO?? ON THE BEACH???]

We could... throw stones into the water?

[streetwolf]

[He whoops, then tries to show off by jumping to catch it… He only just stops himself falling in the sand.

Then throws it back at her feet.]

[streetwolf]

Are we really going to eat a shark? Seriously?

[He's not complaining. But it's a shark.]

[streetwolf]

Well yeah, that's part of it and this weird game of theirs. But they did say to have fun. And if we’re keeping our heads down…

[streetwolf]

True...I still think Stella might be trying for my life though... Or she's just trying to make me bald.

[you_like_ike]

I know, but... it's just... dark here. It must be very deep.

[Treads back, closer to Kaiba.]

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

For fun or profit?

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

Could be anything down there. Maybe a sunken ship. Maybe more ancient sea life. Maybe--

[he breaks off, twitching away from something]

--Could you not?

[streetwolf]

Fun...I think, she just shoves a load of ribbons and clips in it. Them pulls them all out to move them.
