Bali Hai, Friday evening

[cheminthehead.livejournal.com]

There was an impromptu festival going on over on Bali Hai. The beach was decked out with streamers and unlit torches, and the mood was definitely on the gleeful side of happy.

The Fandomites will be made welcome, directed down towards the water for those who want to feed the dolphins, or watch while others do. Those who are more interested in libations than aquatic mammals will find drinks and snacks aplenty up at the swing bar.

Later, once the sun sets, there will be a performance of the island's best fire dancers, before everyone wanders back to Fandom.

[ooc: Up early for SP!

Plz to be waiting for the OCD, thanks.

3...2...1...and we have OCD. ETA: Assume handwavy IC knowledge it's happening, and it's open to all!]

Feed the dolphins

[cheminthehead.livejournal.com]

There were a number of people with buckets of fish. Anyone who wanted to could get themselves as many fish as they liked, along with some quick guidelines, before offering them (http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh68/fhcollective/Bali%20Hai%20Hi%20HI/feedingdolphinsmonkeymia_lg.jpg) to the eagerly awaiting dolphins (http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh68/fhcollective/Bali%20Hai%20Hi%20HI/Dolphins3MonkeyMiaSm.jpg). Plenty of room on the beach to sit and watch.

[ooc: Mod your dolphins! They're super friendly and pretty gentle. And, just to be clear, these dolphins don't have any of the...questionable tendencies exhibited by some dolphins when they interact with people.]

It probably said something odd about Jo that the only other thing that had knocked her out of her funk quicker than explosives was the dolphins.

Feeding dolphins? How cool was that? Turtle was definitely going to have to do this.

She may have been trying to get them to do tricks of a sort before feeding them, though. She wanted to know if dolphin training could ever be a potential venue worth investing in.

There would be no dolphin feeding for Adah; she had issues with throwing fish in a manner that put her hands too close to too eagerly waiting mouths. She was, however, quite satisfied to find a spot nearby, to watch with an intrigue, tilted head, fascination at the bizarre image that left her wondering which grouped seemed more like the trained monkeys: the dolphins and their eager gathering, or the people and their simple amusements.

It was his second time with a shoreline (the broomflight with Ino didn't count since they'd actually been out in the ocean dunking themselves) and while he was a little nervous about interacting with sea animals, feeding animals of all manners was something he was familiar with.

And they seemed nothing but friendly. Which was nice.

Re: Feed the dolphins

[intraspective]

Ino was, quite frankly, rather gleeful about the dolphins. They were so cute and friendly, and were perfectly delighted about the fact that she had fish for them.

This was quite possibly the coolest thing that Hoshi had ever done.

Sokka looked at the fish longingly before tossing it to the... other fish. There would probably be cooked fish later, so he could wait. Besides, the dolphins were cute.

[gobrookeyourself]

Okay, this was just the coolest thing ever, and Brooke couldn't not feed them, even if the fish was kind of gross. The dolphins were just so cute and right there.

Re: Feed the dolphins

[scary-jeff.livejournal.com]

There were fish. There were dolphins.

Jeff might have been a little lost, but at least there seemed to be something gleeful about it.

Aravis had never seen dolphins up close, though she'd heard of them.

She kind of wished they could talk, but otherwise was delighted by how sweet and intelligent they were.

Re: Feed the dolphins

Dolphins were all but extinct in Jen's time -- at least in their original form, as in her opinion animals recreated from DNA samples weren't quite the same thing -- and she'd certainly never gotten a chance to see any up close, so of course she'd grabbed a bucket of fish.

She couldn't care less that she looked next to ridiculous barefoot, and with the legs of her shiny white uniform rolled up to the knee; she was completely enthralled with the dolphins, and having a great time.

....ooooh, dolphins! Jack had actually ventured out of the dorms for this.

[weefeetbigboots.livejournal.com]

Kaylee didn't know dolphins still existed. But they were awful cute, even if the fishies were kind of ick.

Re: Feed the dolphins

[crazypilotman.livejournal.com]

Dolphins were cool. They had that whole mellow fish vibe going on. So of course Murdock was feeding them. And since it was a tropical island, he had on the appropriate attire. A blinding Hawaiian shirt.

Evey certainly wouldn't be offered the opportunity to do this at home. And it would be a great thing to tell people at home.

And it made her smile, and anything that did that these days helped.

Hinata wasn't so sure about talking to a lot of people, but the dolphins were very sweet and she was smiling as she watched them.

Re: Feed the dolphins

[ktarian-wildman.livejournal.com]

Naomi was definitely going to feed the dolphins.

Re: Feed the dolphins

[ella-obeys.livejournal.com]

Ella waded into the water, skirt knotted up above her knees, and offered the dolphis a fish. She was hugging herself with glee.

[the_merriest]

Oh, wow, this was so cool. It seemed kinda mean to the little fishies, but ... dolphins. Rikku couldn't stop giggling.

The Swing Bar

[cheminthehead.livejournal.com]

Its name doesn't come from the after-hours habits of its patrons, but rather from the fact that, in place of stools, the bar has swings (http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh68/fhcollective/Bali%20Hai%20Hi%20HI/swing-bar-on-the-beach.jpg)!

Gwen had a drink, and a swing! A fun swing!

Okay, make that a few drinks.

Lois sat herself in a swing and ordered herself a beer. What a great way to spend a Friday.

Firedancers

[cheminthehead.livejournal.com]

As the sun set, the firedancers came forward and the torches were lit. Make yourself comfortable on blankets on the beach while you watch.

First, there were some single dancers (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EV5ZHT398uU), then a pair (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OOW56o4SPpY), and then the whole group danced.

Memory danced in the back of his brain as he watched. There wasn't anything in particular, no one memory that reacted to the dancing flames and the bodies and the shadows in the night.

But he watched. It was worth watching.

Ping here if you need anything! Though it'll be many hours 'til I get back to you, as I'm sleeping now.

. . . please, please, please someone tell me I'm not the only one who keeps reading "The Swing Bar" as "The Swinger Bar" and going .
