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.

The water's so clear...

[And everyone she got paired with is pretty hot. Nice. She'll start off alternating watching the surf and not-so-covertly checking everyone out.]

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

We may be here under duress, but at least it's a nice beach. There's probably some good snorkeling further out.

[fastandloose]

Snorkeling, huh? Never tried it.

[she says in a tone of voice that says in fact she does not know what that is but doesn't really want to admit it]

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

[if he notices, he doesn't do anything in particular to acknowledge it]

There's a first time for everything. If you swim, it doesn't take too long to get the hang of using the snorkel, and the water's clear enough that there should be plenty of sea life to see even without getting too far from shore. Of course, if you're not a swimmer, you'll probably want to try something else instead.

[fastandloose]

I can swim. Just never had water clear enough to see before. Or any sea life worth seein'.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

[nods]

At the beach in Domino, you're more likely to find an old boot than an actual fish. All the more reason to take advantage of it now, I suppose.

I can show if you'd like. Or if there's something else you think would be more appealing. I just figured that if the water looked impressive from here, it'd be really something close up.

[fastandloose]

Nah, that sounds good. I’d love to see it.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

Excellent. I'll grab the necessary equipment, then. Is there anything else you'd like to retrieve?

[fastandloose]

I should prob’ly change. Is a bikini alright?

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

Anything you wish to wear should be fine. The water's warm, so there's no particular need for a rash guard.

[fastandloose]

Got it. Let's get ready, then. No sense wastin' time.

[she starts heading for the hut with the stuff]

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

[going for it! at length, kaiba emerges from the hut with snorkeling gear and a tasteful violet Hawaiian shirt over short black swim trunks. The shirt's left open, but sadly(?) doesn't have the dramatic flair (or the shoulder pads) of his favored trenchcoats. There's sunglasses hooked to the card locket around his neck. He could probably use a sandwich and a couple days in the sun, but it's obvious he puts effort into his appearance.]

Ready?

[fastandloose]

[She has gone for a black bikini and not bothered with a cover-up. She looks good in it and clearly knows it.

She is also just chilling waiting for him, and when he arrives she glances over both him and the snorkeling gear with interest.]

Whenever you are.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

This way, then.

[he heads for a rocky outcropping on the shore closer to the deep water]

So you said this was your first time doing this?

[fastandloose]

[follows]

I did, yeah. You'll have to show me the ropes. I usually pick stuff up quick, though.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

I gathered--from our chat earlier, you didn't sound like the type who has to struggle for every step forward. But either way, this is pretty simple. With this apparatus you can swim around near the surface and view what's below without having to constantly come up for air.

[fastandloose]

You got that right. Sounds simple enough.

[blueeyeswaifudragon]

I'm sure you won't have a problem.

[that said he'll actually provide a functional demonstration because being laissez-faire with breathing sounds like a bad idea]

Your home is far from the sea?

[i_like_ike]

[Everyone? Even the scrawny, pasty kid who just returned from changing into a hoodie and too-long shorts, all in black like the Hot Topic child he would have been in another life and time?]

I was more impressed with the house.

[fastandloose]

[unfortunately brooding Hot Topic children are actually most her type. plus she has low standards.

though she does give him a look at the clothes given that they're at a beach.]

Yeah, that's not bad either.

[i_like_ike]

I've certainly been worse places.

We should do an activity. Do you have any preferences?

[fastandloose]

I'm up for whatever. How about you? You don't look like you're ready for swimming.

[i_like_ike]

Not particularly.

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

We could... throw stones into the water?

[fastandloose]

And see who gets ‘em the furthest, or somethin’?

[streetwolf]

[Guess whose found the swimming capris?

This guy. They’re dark blue with a white wave pattern. Hopefully the dumb pattern is enough to distract people from looking at the fresh vertical scar to the left of his side.]

It’s like the vacation books, isn’t it? I’m not sure what most this equipment is for though.
