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.

It was fine.

[a glowing review from Soren]

[you_like_ike]

[Soren not complaining really is a glowing review.]

I don't know when I've last been this settled down. Over a year, at least.

[Picks up a coconut to drink the water inside.]

...Feels pretty good by the fire. You can use my cape if you're cold from the other side. [Gestures to his lump of clothes on the sand.]

[i_like_ike]

I appreciate it. I'm not used to wearing such light clothing.

[Absolutely going for that cape. Is he actually cold or just supremely gay? The world may never know.]

[you_like_ike]

...

Soren... I know this is abrupt to ask, and I may be asking years early. But if I'm ever no longer needed and decide to leave the Greil mercenaries to go off on my own... and possibly not come back...

Would you want to go with me?

[i_like_ike]

[looking a little surprised, but in no way hesitant]

Of course I would. My loyalty has always been with you, first and foremost.

[you_like_ike]

[Also a little surprised, that Soren agreed to so quickly. Although he really shouldn't be surprised.]

You're sure?

I don't even know where I would go... but marching through Tellius has made me want to see more places unknown to me... even beyond Tellius. And meeting people here from other countries has made me want to even more now.

[i_like_ike]

It doesn't matter to me. We can go anywhere you want.

[you_like_ike]

I would be glad to have you. I had envisioned going alone, but began thinking I would miss you too much.

[i_like_ike]

Is that so? I'm glad you came to your senses.

[you_like_ike]

It's good you don't think I'm crazy for wanting to do this someday. A lot of people might become upset with me.

[i_like_ike]

Let them be upset. You've already given more to the world than it deserves. You should be able to live a life that suits you.

[you_like_ike]

Yeah. I don't particularly care what people think, but I at least want to finish my responsibilities and maintain the Greil mercenaries awhile longer.

[i_like_ike]

Take your time. I'll be here for you.

[Scoots in closer, leaning into his side.]

[you_like_ike]

Thanks. That makes it easier for me. I don't know if I could really go if you had refused to come with.

[Doesn't think anything of it, just kind of naturally return-leans, but lightly so he doesn't push him over.]
