Re: Seaside 4: Where Every Week Is Shark Week
The Sea of Storms - Great Hurricane:
It appeared seemingly overnight; a vicious, permanent hurricane located off the western coast, at the heart of the infamous sea of storms. Its arrival, sudden as it was, was heralded by a single flash of bright green light, a crackling beam which reached up into the heavens, piercing the sky. The thing manifested soon after, nearly a thousand miles long, its enormous presence causing the sky to blacken, turning dark and vengeful. Lightning began to flash soon after, streaking across the black, storm-wrought sky above, illuminating the rotten wooden masts of countless ships below, the creaking wooden pillars reaching towards the sky like the claws of some long-forgotten titan, splintered and worn. The gulls were tossed like paper as the storm began to rage, flashes of white in the grey, tumbling as they struggled against the gale. Beneath them the sea rose as great mountains, anger in the form of water, turbulent and unforgiving. The accompanying roaring of thunder and unfathomably violent wind reverberated across the region, reducing some of the largest wrecks into little more than wooden slivers, displacing countless creatures and wrecks.
However, the sea creatures of the region were not the only victims of the seemingly otherwordly hurricane, for the storm has continued to rage for several days, only ever seeming to expand, threatening to eventually consume all things unfortunate enough to exist in its wake. Periodically, the calamitous spiral tempest has spawned smaller storms, most of which have traveled up and down the coast, bringing torrential rain and hurricane-speed winds to outlying regions, tearing apart coastal villages and ravaging the landscape. These rogue storms have produced enormous waves, the likes of which have never been seen so far inland, which batter and pummel against the white cliffs, occasionally causing large chunks of land to separate and plummet into the depths below, creating whole beaches of debris.

Calm Reed watches Anchor work with some bewilderment and awe. What sorcery is this, to create clothing out of thin air so quickly?
"Thank you," she says as she bows slightly and walks off towards the water. She steps into the waves without hesitation and as the sea spray hits her, the armor she's wearing seems to melt into it, vanishing as if it was never there. Once that's done, the monk goes somewhere secluded to change into the swimsuit.My FFRP characters. Avatar by Ashen Lilies. Sigatars by Ashen Lilies, Gullara and Purple Eagle.

"Oh eh.. I'm Sorry." Mia replies not really sure if she should or not since well Mia isn't sure if that is true.
"I'm Mia Mechanicus. High Priestress of Deus mechanicus the god of machines." she says. "It is a busy job. mostly dealing with Repairing or inventing of new machines. There is also a lot of meetings with the people about their problems and requests to DM.

Vivi's explanation gets a blank stare from Lucy. She has no idea what "electric" is. She's kind of taken a lot of this stuff in her stride, but she might not actually be taking in any of the details on the way. Nod and smile and hope no one asks you about things you haven't heard about yet. "That you read words off- oh! Like a book or something? I gueeeess that could work. But I'll admit I'm a little disappointed I have to be up there with you, instead of watching you perform."

Okay, maybe it's a little more terrifying than that, but it's still got a bit of a kooky house of horrors feel to it.

Electra claps when Sam finishes singing. The music isn't really her cup of tea, but he sung the song well, and that's all that really counts. She grins at Fayyaad's request.
"Oh, lively I can definitely do," she assures him, before looking to Cass, "But is there something specific you'd like to hear?"Why is it Plan A is always, "Get 'Em!" and Plan B is, "Cause as much collateral damage as possible"?

"Alright. I don't have any suggestions or ideas right now, I just don't want to do anything too morally sketchy is all. Once you guys have figured out exactly what you want to do, just contact me by-" Magtok pauses, patting his pockets a few times. Oh crap, we never bothered to pick up a phone, did we? Of all the things to not loot from that abandoned MagMart, jeez...I mean come on, Magtok. You must've known you'd make allies and business deals sooner or later, right? You must've known they'd need a way to contact you that doesn't involve hiking to Mt. Enn and seeing what a dump the MagCave has become. How did you screw this all up?
"Crap, left my phone at home. Just send a courier to the MagCave, and tell them to watch out for wolves. The forest around the cave has grown back and gotten a little wild, so don't send anyone you're not afraid to lose in a tragic wilderness accident." The worst of it is the stuff that's inside the MagCave. We probably shouldn't mention that we've completely lost control over our own home, though.

Kal nods. An underwater wreck, huh? Sounds interesting, though being a noted airbreather, this doesn't seem like an adventure he can participate in. "Have fun."

"Wow, yeah, how boring," Fettina scoffs when Rein describes himself with all those nice adjectives. "I played the piano, and sometimes I sang. Maybe I can play for you if you play for me sometime, too." She peers at him over the top of her sunglasses and purses her lips around the straw of her mojito.
"And I love the people, of course!" Tina grins broadly, white teeth gleaming. "The people make the place! And you never run out of interesting people. I mean, that's anywhere, but I even just mean purely aesthetically. I'm a very visual person, you know." She gives him something of a significant look.
Vivi doesn't seem too judgemental about Lucy's apparent ignorance of modern technology. She's only sort of savvy herself! "Well, what if I promise you'll get to watch me perform later, instead? Would that help you be less disappointed?" Vivi asks with a wink.My avatar was done by Gullara. Thanks again!

Re: Seaside 4: Where Every Week Is Shark Week
[Beach Party - Bar]
Electra gives Cass a mysterious smile and finishes the last of her drink.
"Well, then. I'll see if they have anything interesting to sing."
She saunters up to the machine and looks through the selections for a few moments, before finding something she thinks might be appropriate. She takes up the microphone and surveys the crowd before the music starts, spotting Tina at the bar. Oh dear, this might be very interesting indeed. The music starts with a couple of guitar flourishes before starting to pick up, and she gives a quiet vocal flourish just as the original singer did as the music picks up. She taps her foot in time with the beat, nodding her head as well, getting in time with the music, before starting the first verse, her gaze not on the screen, but on the crowd, belting out the lyrics in her clear mezzo soprano. As the song goes on, her whole body gets into it, and she starts moving around, working the stage just a bit, swaying her hips every so often to the beat. She's not trying to overdo it, but she's definitely enjoying herself.Why is it Plan A is always, "Get 'Em!" and Plan B is, "Cause as much collateral damage as possible"?

Faudre is about to thank Anchor, before she's taken in by her weaving clothes out of the strangest of materials. She was no stranger to magic, sure, but this was stranger than any magic she'd seen. She gingerly takes the sundress and hat, then nods to Anchor. "My thanks, Anchor." She gives her a respectful nod, before withdrawing to change out of her armor.

Vivi's wink is answered with a toothy grin as Lucy nods and finishes what remains of their shared drink. "Worry not, Vivi, you don't need to provide that much encouragement, though I'll certainly take you up on that offer." She turns to watch as Electra finishes her performance, "Seems we might have to join the queue. I'm, um, not really used to singing a song on the fly like this, but I'll have to do a good job, won't I? Can't go letting you down in a duet, can I?" She slides a hand down to give Vivi a light pat on her lower back for emphasis.Before you criticise someone, walk a mile in their shoes.

Beach Party - Bar with Dena
Dena reaches into the picknick basket and produces another of her business cards which she gently presses into Magtok's hand. "Why don't you take one of these and call me once you get your phone? Or are you gonna make me go dungeon spelunking in your cave? Since I'm not losing anyone in it. Public perception, remember?" Losing coworkers to cyberwolves did horrible things to morale, unless people really hated those guys of course.

"Technically? What does technically me- Hey, get back here!" Ilpholin gives Kal and Wenomir a wave goodbye, puts her diving mask back on, and swims after Anika. She needs to stay close enough so she can grab a shark tail when she turns into one again.
[Beach Party - Tanning wit' Tina]
Reinholdt holds out his hands and shrugs a little. "Sure, I'll be happy to play for you. But you won't be impressed. Maybe it'll motivate me to get good at though. Find a mentor. Ask around for some tips. Raril's a bard, maybe he can point me in the right direction." There's no shortcut to success better than years of practice and experience. At least none that Rein's found yet. He'll keep looking though.
"Well now," Rein's lips curl upwards into a smirk, though his eyes glance away a blush fills his cheeks. "I'm happy to be a part of the aesthetic that convinces this place is special with its... Gah. I knew where that sentence was going when I started it." It's a bit of a mess now though. Better shift gears a little. "Eh-hem. As a connoisseur of the visual, what do you look for? The variety, the abs, or something else entirely? Maybe, just maybe, I think you might have something for esoteric pink eyes." They do fall under the exotic and unique.
"Which reminds me. You're a bit less neon than I recall. Did you decide that look wasn't for you anymore?" Maybe he's misremembering though. There was a lot of booze involved then too. Too much alcohol can make everything more neon.

Sea of Storms - Hurricane
Someone is foolish enough to brave such an insane storm. A small, high-tech hover skiff sails above the waves. Its lone passenger steers the ship with one hand, while his other holds an ancient iron astrolabe traced with glowing silver patterns. Currently, the patterns flicker and shift rapidly. The sailor cries out into the storm, despite no one being there to hear him. "It must be around here somewhere! Maybe the storm is causing elemental interference, or perhaps the quintessence wasn't as pure as I thought. Come on, work!" He shakes the astrolabe to no effect. "No use. I need to find somewhere to land."Awesome avatar (Kothar, paladin of Tlacua) by Linkele!

"I did. The colours suit you, and it shows off your stomach and muscles." Breasts, too, but skintight costumes do that too. And as a former male, Jack thinks Kray might be a little less happy with those. "If you got a date like that, why'd you think you don't look as good?" Jack's own frame is lithe, not muscular, because muscles are heavy and she spends a lot of time flying and using quite a lot of energy. I'm not entirely sure how that works, but shapeshifters are weird.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!

Since she is a former male, Kray might sputter at being complimented specifically on her feminine traits, but would probably benefit from hearing it.
”Well I don’t know, it’s just...” she doesn’t have any reason to think Asterios doesn’t just treat everyone that way. What if he wasn’t serious, or is just a flirt?

”You’re a sweet girl, Jack. If you want to look you’d probably be better off looking at my nephew, though.” I didn’t quite catch Jack’s visual age, but Kray is well into her thirties, even if Rassa looks a few years younger. Kray at least thinks Jack is too young for her. Though Jack’s probably too old for Koshal as well.Spako Highclaws by Ceika.

Re: Seaside 4: Where Every Week Is Shark Week

Jack looks like she's maybe early twenties, maybe late teens. She's quite hard to pin down age-wise, which also plays into her usual androgynous appearance. She isn't human, though she looks like one, so she probably ages differently.
"I, um. Will keep that in mind." Jack's a little embarrassed about it all, because this isn't something she's done before. To be fair, though, it's hard to tell how old a minotaur is by looking if you've not met one before.Terrowin Avatar by HappyTurtle. Much thanks!

Electra throws her head back with the final few refrains, and lets the last note ring out for a moment, before swooping into a quick bow, replacing the mic on the stand, and heads back for her little group at the bar, a pleased smile on her face.
