🍰 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.

No, really.
It's big. Right now, it's over half her height and just as wide.
Girl has some skills? She'll accept any contributions if you want to help out. ]
no subject
[He asks this nonchalantly, but he can't help but be slightly impressed by how big the sand castle is compared to the girl. How long had she been working on this?]
no subject
[ She's glad someone noticed, and this is clear in the way her eyes light up as she glances his way. ]
no subject
I see...do you always engage in exercises of futility when bored?
no subject
no subject
Isn't it, though? [Smiles a bit as he gives the castle another once over.] You're right that it takes patience and skill to make, but sand as a medium is impermanent.
Look at what you've made. It's impressive, to be sure, but rain will easily wash it away, the waves will eventually come up to claim it, and strong wings or wayward birds or any number of creatures and objects can destroy it with enough force.
Sand is fragile, so in the end what did your patience and skill achieve if not futility?
no subject
That's okay. It's not futile. It's memories I can revisit anytime I want and a blank slate that I can make into something new all over again!
[ She sticks her tongue out at him. ]
You're silly, you know.
no subject
I see. That's an interesting way to look at it.
Oh? And how am I silly?
no subject
[ She crosses her arms and looks at him. ]
no subject
Astute observation! Call it a favorite past time.
[He just likes to mess with people.]
no subject
How masterful! The scale and structure of this sandcastle is very impressive.
no subject
Would you like to help? [ She steps out of the way so he can get closer if he wants. ] I bet you can make it even better.
no subject
Hmm, that is kind of you to offer. But would it be right to interfere with another artist's vision...?
[He doesn't want to ruin it for her by changing something she doesn't like, after all that hard work. But then an idea seems to occur to him--] Wait here, and I will be right back.
no subject
[ She shifts from foot to foot as she waits. She's a little impatient but eager to see what he might be up to! ]
no subject
Eventually he returns, though, and his reason for taking so long has become clear: he's using the bottom of his hoodie as a pouch, which is weighted down by an enormous amount of pebbles and seashells. They're all picked by Yusuke personally, which means only the most beautiful and pleasing ones got the pass. He drops the pile onto the sand in front of Elise, and then produces from his pocket some tropical flowers he'd found, also handing them to her.]
Here. Now you have all the tools to make your castle transform. Change its sandy facade into an edifice of beauty!
no subject
[ It had taken all Elise's patience to wait and she very nearly broke, but but she's glad she didn't, because the payoff had is very big. She especially loves the flowers and her eyes light up as soon as she sees them. ]
This is wonderful! This'll be the best most pretty sandcastle ever!
[ She gets to work and doesn't hurry, decorating the castle carefully so it doesn't start to crumble under the weight of extra items. ]
no subject
[Yusuke observes her as she works, wanting to see how she puts the materials to use. Occasionally, he straightens a shell or moves a pebble that looks off-centre, otherwise, he's happy to let a fellow artist complete her vision without interference.]
no subject
My buddy and I could never get a castle quite that big when we try...
no subject
[ She giggles a little as she thinks of exactly how many failed sand castles it's taken over her lifetime to learn how to make the big ones. ]
