Nihi Sumba, Sumba Island, Indonesia, Tuesday Evening

[heroic_jawline]

Okay, tonight is a bit on the muggy and humid side of things, but fortunately there were actions you could take to mitigate such slight discomfort! You could swim in one of the many pools! You could go swimming with the horses (but not in a pool)! You could drink tropical cocktails--or mocktails, students, they're watching you--and ignore the humidity! You could wear very little clothing and dance on the beach!

It's night three in paradise, everyone! Enjoy it while you can!

Beach Party

[heroic_jawline]

Come on down for drinks, snacks, and stories around the bonfire. It's time for a beach party!

Charlie was totally down for a beach party and she'd even brought her guitar in case anyone wanted to sing.

After a long day of exploring jungles and waterfalls, a beach party was just the thing! Graham was eager to try all the snacks, and pondered what sort of stories might be best to tell around that bonifre!

With all this humidity, Lana felt like she was back on Dromund Kaas.

With less lightning and more sand.

She was good for a party, though. She could so have fun!

Did a nice bonfire count as a good, relaxing wind-down period for the evening? Libby hoped so, because she was definitely pleased to be there, enjoying the fire and all the good energy from everyone having a nice time.

Had Shunsui just been down there at the beach this whole time while the party sprung up? Or had he just arrived like everyone else?

That was a good question, and probably a mystery for the ages.

Re: Beach Party

[unusual_sith]

Lana grinned over at him. "You seem to be having a very good holiday. Have you branched out to the local spirits yet?"

Re: Beach Party

[sake_shinigami]

Shunsui couldn't help grinning crookedly at Lana's particular choice of words, almost tempted to make a joke about it hardly being a holiday if he had, but that would probably be a whole thing that he needn't bother getting into.

"I," he pronounced happily instead, "am having an excellent holiday, Lana-chan, and it's even better now that you're here, as well ♥. And though my trusty sake is always within reach," he patted the jug still hanging at his hip, even without the usual sash to hold it, "I have been enjoying getting to know the land through my cups ♥. And yourself, Lana-chan ♥? Can I get you something to perhaps...expand your own repertoire ♥?"

Re: Beach Party

[unusual_sith]

"I've been enjoying my time here. I'm always open to new experiences, though. Do you have any recommendations?"

Re: Beach Party

[sake_shinigami]

"Have you had the chance to try any of the Bali arak?" asked Shunsui, with a small, curious quirk of both his brow and his smirk, and he wasted no time in locating some. "It, like sake, is made from fermented rice, so, naturally, I'm quite partial to it already ♥."

Stark had enjoyed the trek to the waterfall and had even enjoyed swimming a bit in his borrowed and violently pink trunks.

He was wearing the violently pink swimtrunks again this evening but with one of his own shirts while he sat watching the fire and having some snacks and a drink.

Re: Beach Party

[in_sidon_we_trust]

A beach party was exactly Sidon's kind of party, so of course he was going to be there, enjoying the open air and the proximity to the sea!

The last few days had been spent on or near the beach and water.... and Connor was perfectly happy with that. So he settled in, claiming a spot around the bonfire and closed his eyes and just let himself relax for a bit, listening to the mixing of waves on the shore and the crackling of the fire.

Re: Beach Party

[itsananomaly]

The last couple of days had been nice between the windsurfing and the kite surfing, Cutter thought spending some time on the sand out of the water sounded nice as well, especially because he knew Connor had headed down earlier.

“This looks really nice,” Cutter smiled as he came to sit down by Connor.

Re: Beach Party

[anomaly_research_nerd]

"Hey!" Connor said with a grin as he held up a glass. "Glad ya made it!"

Re: Beach Party

[itsananomaly]

Cutter grinned as he got comfortable, “what are you having?” he asked, trying to decide if he felt up for a drink or not.

Re: Beach Party

[anomaly_research_nerd]

"They actually have a little gin and tonic they stock for groups like this," Connor said, nodding towards the almost empty glass in his hand. "Definitely recommend it!"

Re: Beach Party

[kawaii_complex]

Sakaki had been doing a lot of mostly individual activities so far, so she figured she should get out and do something social.

...where she would probably sit off to the side and just miss her cat a lot, sure, but it was the thought that counted?

[alwaysonguard]

Dwight had spent much of the last few days just relaxing and taking in the sights and all. He figured it would probably be best not to be a total hermit the entire time, so he made his way to the beach and the admittedly alluring sight of the bonfire on the beach. There were definitely worse ways he could think of to spend the evening.

Re: Beach Party

[what_the_shock]

"Hey, Dwight!" Miguel clapped him on the shoulder. "How have you been?"

Re: Beach Party

[alwaysonguard]

"Hey stranger, long time no see," Dwight replied with a grin. "Been good, and pretty near perfect right now considering," he added with a lift of the drink in his hand and a general wave at... everything. "And you?"

Re: Beach Party

[what_the_shock]

"I didn't have to ship myself here this time." He paused. "Bit disappointed in that, honestly. It's been nice, though. We're in a treehouse!"

Re: Beach Party

[stykera]

"Hello, Dwight," Stark said, walking over. "How is your trip, so far?"

Re: Beach Party

[alwaysonguard]

"Stark, good to see you," Dwight said with a smile. "All good here, especially now that I am back to being 'me-shaped again. And yourself? Having a relaxing time of it I hope?"

Re: Beach Party

[stykera]

Stark nodded.

"I'm glad to be shaped like myself again. And it's beautiful here."
