Game 99: "Onwards, to the beach!" (Freetime II)

[Nerdy Barista]

Overnight, when not one person was awake, the island was encased in the dark dreary fog, and the world shook once more, knocking down anything not secured to the walls tight. The sounds of the ocean fill the area... And then everything rested, the fog dissipated and day came once more. Two less people would wake up today, and enjoy the sights, leaving everyone else to stay in this realm and wonder...
What now?

As the clock struck 7, everyone's alarms began to ring once more, and this time, the sky outside was less of a bright sunny day, a few clouds were broken in the air, and it was more grey outside. Though some sun shone through, and encased the watchtower in a heavenly light, which seemed to have something new at it.
before you could take a closer look, your buddiwatches than rang!

"Fair morning everyone, I hope you all had a wonderful rest. Despite the events that have previously unfolded, I want everyone to still enjoy and relax during their time here, as planned. A memorial for Ichigo will be held at dinner. Please head over to the Plaza, Bianca will be waiting for you, we will continue on with our tour." She paused for a slight moment.

"The Watchtower will be off-limits during the day, the elevator has been disabled to prevent anyone from entering, it is currently undergoing renovations to prevent anything like that to happen from there again. Anyone found tampering with our new installments will be given punishment to our farthest extent.
Now, go on everyone, and enjoy your day~."



Everyone then wanders over to the plaza, seeing the fog has cleared up over on the South-West portion of the island, they see a few small buildings, but most importantly was the beach! Seagulls fly all over the island, birds chirp and flutter around. Bianca was waiting by the fountain, wearing a two-piece swimsuit and a long thin button up that was open. Sunglasses rested on her small sun hat she was wearing, she smiles over at you all and then smiled brightly, holding onto a small clipboard.

"Hello everyone! Welcome back, did you all rest well?" She asked, the sky correcting its color to a more happy light sky blue.

"We have a wonderful day planned! We have our Beachside open for everyone to go and enjoy! Starting today, you may find entertainment over at the beach, have fun and splash around! Make sure to go visit our Kiosk to get anything that you would need for the day out. We have a new clothing boutique and Hair & Nail salon as well, just if you want to go and get a nice new look. If you want a more quite place to read or hang-out, the library is open now as well! And last but not least, we have a Photography studio! If you want to get some pictures to celebrate the day, your new fresh look, or just a silly group photo, then thats your place to head to!" She gleamed.

"I'll let everyone wake up a little before we all head over to the locker rooms and kiosk to grab whatever we need before going to the Beach and letting everyone roam around."

Nero walks to his room to grab swimming trunks then comes back out with the swimming trunks on and goggles for Jerry

[Evie The Bat]

Willow, looking cheery like how he looked the first day here, goes to change into more beach-type of clothes. Afterward, he goes around to everyone at the plaza, profusely apologizing for his behavior during the trial, although he isn’t specific just an overall apology.,

[zantz]

Zantz wakes up and looks at his watch and then his necklace.

"Interesting, but it seems they're intent on continuing whatever this crazy situation is. Seems I have no choice."

Zantz proceeds to head to the beach to check the area.

[Ame]

After a long night of crying and catching up, Setora and Ells head down to the Plaza, meeting up with everyone else.

"Good morning!"

Ells yawns

"I know that... it's been a difficult 24 hours for everyone, but we should move forward, and work together so that we don't have to do it again."

"There's no point in living in the past. All we can do is live for the future."

[Ktoasty]

Kaoru asks a question on the side. "Hey, Bianca. Did you find what was supposed to be in the prize box?"

[crazynuto]

Frog lies awake in silent vigil for the fallen Ichigo. If only he had been stronger, better, more...amphibious he maybe could've saved her but alas, 'tis not what the fates had in store for him. He joins the rest of the group in the morning, looking very tired. Turns out frogs do need to sleep.

"Zzzz...Good morning thou fellow.....compatriotzzzz..........I hope thine rest was..........more fulfilling than mine own. Gods I'm tired."

He slumps up against a wall, snoring away.

"Why yes! I did in fact, however it seems that... Half of the team is no longer present to receive their prize for completion. However, you will get the prizes still!" Bianca pulls two gift boxes out of her bag, giving them to Kitaresu and Kaoru, the two surviving Scavenger hunt members.

When they open it up, they see 3 thick glowsticks and an extra free meal voucher! However, Kaoru also gets a very pretty seashell, which when putting it up to his ear, can hear the sounds of the... Disgruntled crab inside of it.

Following the instructions given out, Spark gather at the plaza for Bianca's speech.

Once he saw Ellie and Setora joins the crowd he opened his mouth to call out, stops in his tracks, then ultimately shook his head and walks away.

Leaving to find some momentary peace within the beach. Sitting on the warm sand, he wrote down on his notepad.

[Tetsu]

Kitaresu was already awake, it was not like the night was peaceful for her. The killing and the exile of Venli. As the sun rays shines into the room, Kitaresu decided to get change and head to grab some food.

When she was done, the announcement that they were heading to the beach scared yet excite her. So she quickly retreat to her room to grab her umbrella before rejoining the group.

After awhile, Kaoru and her were given their prize of their treasure hunt. She then looks at Kaoru as Bianca showed them the items.

"What are we using them f-for?"

[Evie The Bat]

Willow sits in the shade near the group. He may be dressed for fun in the sun, but shade is cooler.

“Really hope today is a lot less...tragic”

[Maria]

It was a rough night, probably one of the worst Alice had slept for a while. But despite that, she tried to keep a smile on her face and stay positive! What good was being sad going to do? She looked much prettier when she was smiling anyway! 

She hummed to herself as she walked on over to the group, immediately perking up at the mention of the beach. Yes! She had been dying to play in the ocean!

"I know that the past day was really rough. I hope everyone can move on ahead and we all enjoy ourselves... What happened was resolved, we shouldn't focus too much on that!" Bianca looked at everyone.

"Im sure you all heard, but we'll be hosting a short memorial for Ichigo at dinner, before we begin our fun activity for the night!"

[Evie The Bat]

Willow looks around for Frog, going over to him and asking how his night went after the trial. He also asks this question to anyone Frog may be talking to.

Frog perks up a bit and turns to willow.

“Ah....Sir Willow was it? It’s good to see you in better spirits than last night. I spent my night awake, lying in silent vigil for our dear departed Ichigo. ‘Tis the honorable thing to do, to make sure thine spirit reaches whatever afterlife there might be.

I believe I nodded off once and had the strangest dream...but no matter. I am excited to go to thine beach and feast upon the insectoid life there. Although salt water isn’t good for a freshwater....... frog like........ myselfzzzz.......”

His eyelids start to droop again, the small burst of energy already gone.
