The two found a nice little spot away from most other people. I was still a little crowded, but on days like today, they didn't have a choice but to get over it and move on. Setting two towels down onto the beach and placing a smaller Parasol in the middle of them, large enough to cover most of the towel, small enough to not obscure anyone else. The two sat down as the confetti marked the soon to be beginning of an event. Swimming by the looks of it. Neither of them are strong swimmers, so they decided to pass on it.

 

"Alright Shizuko. Now we're here, you no what we need to put on."

 

"I'm a fox. I don't need to wear that cold cream."

 

"Be that as it may, our type of fox has human skin and we must care for it as human skin. We don't have a coat protecting us from the sun like most other Kitsune. I promise I won't get any in your tail."

 

Shizuko scrunched up her nose, making a pouty face at her brother, a last ditch attempt to avoid the sun block. Ryo simply shook his head and Shizuko gave in, moving over and sitting next to Ryo. (Riveting story about applying sun block goes here).

 

"Done. Now go and enjoy yourself. Don't wonder about too far, you know you get too terrified to be near anyone when I'm not about for a certain amount of time."

 

"And you turn into a blabbering moron, incapable of forming a sentence."

 

"Fair point. Just remember, if you start to lose track of my scent. Come right back here at once. We need to be able to find each other easily, particularly in this crowd."

 

With words exchanged, Shizuko gave Ryo a large hug and rushed away into the crowds, heading towards the food stands. The smell of it all enticing her young nose. Particularly what she could only think was deep fried Ice Cream. When she arrived at the stand, she could only look at what it served. She didn't know if she needed money or not and this swimsuit didn't exactly have any pockets.

Mary giggled at the thought of making their own ice cream. It sounded fun, but a tad unhealthy. ​"I think we'd probably get fat and huge after a while. It wouldn't be good to eat this all the time. But it sounds yummy."

 

Another loud confetti popper was shot into the air. The swimming contest was about to begin.

 

​"Ooh, Denny! You wanna go watch?"​

 

"Yeah, but damn if it wouldn't be worth it, huh?" Denise snickered, gently nudging her friend.

 

She jumped as the confetti popper went off again, and she shook her head. "Why've they gotta be so loud...?"

 

She grinned and nodded. "Sure! Some of us rats are made for swimming, y'know." She smirked and started walking alongside her.

Shizuko would hear a now becoming familiar voice behind her. "Well fancy seeing you hear little one, so how are you finding the festival?" She walked closer up to the little Kitsune. "I have to say you take great care of your tail it looks wonderful." She was now standing behind her.

​JR was at the starting line, waiting for the contest to begin as he prepared himself. He seemed to be the only cat there, which was somewhat ironic since most cats hate water.

She blinked and stared at the horizon, standing next to Mary by the shoreline.

 

"Where was I going with that?"

Blitz glanced at the cat next to him and gave a slight nod. "Yeah. I'm here because a friend asked me to come, so I figured I might as well try to enjoy myself." He said, his face showing no emotion. The dragon then glanced out at to where the buoys ended and gave a slight smirk. He wouldn't have any problem with this.

​JR nodded, looking out to the horizon as the contest was about to start. ​"Well good luck, dude." ​He prepared to get in his position. The event would start in a matter of moments.
 

Mary hugged her friend. ​"Don't worry yourself about it. I know what you meant. Why don't you compete then, hm?"

She blinked at her suggestion, with a small blush on her face. "Compete?" She glanced aside, looking a bit... shy? "I dunno, swimming's not really my thing. Or getting into a bikini... in public. Y'know how it is."

@@Mentis Soliloquy, Shizuko turned to face the voice she was getting more comfortable hearing, Bass. "Oh hi Bass. We've only just got here. I had to put on some of that horrible sun block cream because I have skin and not a coat. These Ice Creams are the first thing that caught my nose. The thing I though, I don't know if I need money or not, I'm nervous to ask and this swimsuit doesn't exactly hold pockets. Thanks for the compliments on my tail. I work hard to keep it nice a clean. It's really not as easy as it seems." She took a quick moment to look at the swim wear Crystal had bought, and quickly thought of a way that may wind her brother up a little. "I may be wrong, but I think Ryo will really like that swimsuit of yours. in fact, I think that seeing you in one was one of the reasons he agreed to bring me here in the first place." She turned her head slightly away with a small evil grin and a small giggle. 'Bro is either going to love me or hate me for that.'

And if they're free, could you get me one? If not, I left some money back with Ryo. Please?" Her usual cool an sarcastic attitude seemingly completely vanished, replaced with one of a lot more energy, she was acting much more like a child her age would.

@@Mentis Soliloquy, "Thank you Bass." Shizuko happily took the Ice Cream and started nibbling on it as she normally does. Wagging her tail and twitching her ears to show her happiness. "This has a really strange taste to it. A combination I never thought possible. Ice Cream. Deep fried. The concept doesn't work in my mind yet here I am eating it in front of me. This defies everything I ever thought about Ice Cream and thermal energy. But I don't care. It tastes good. I need to pester Ryo to get me more of these later. Anyway, it looks like the swimming contest will being soon. You feeling like watching it or would you rather not?"

@@Mentis Soliloquy, Shizuko could notice a slight change in her voice, while she wanted to play on it, she settled for a smirk. "Bro is not wearing anything special. He couldn't really pull off anything like what most of the guys are wearing. So just some long shorts and a T-shirt. Were you hoping for something a bit? *giggle* Anyway, let's get closer to the water. I want to have a good view, well who wouldn't? Maybe I'll get special treatment because I'm only kid and be allowed a front row seat. Being young has its benefits. Come on." Shizuko started to walk through the crowds, slipping in between the people as she made her way closer to the front.

 

Ryo, much further back, decided that he was as well watch the contest. He should do festival things at a festival after all. Standing close to were he had been sitting, he could get a decent view. Not the best but at least he could see. "Should be interesting to say the least."

"Hey come on now Shi where are you going?"  Crystal just managed to get through the crowd in order to stand behind her looking inwards. "So all these people are here to see what exactly?" She had a rough idea as to what but was not sure there was no announcement of any kind that she'd heard of.

[captainborgue 343]

Kerrigan had donned a more conservative outfit for the actual festival itself, though it still left most of her back exposed so she could at least soak up some sun while she supervised the goings on. Not that she actually volunteered to manage this unbridled frivolity- while she was no doubt capable of it, she lacked any real desire to do so. Besides, that rabbit woman had things running surprisingly smoothly.

 

After glaring and snorting smoke at a trio of meatheads who who picking on the young man who worked in the cafe, Kerrigan made her way across the beach, relishing the feel of the sun on her back and wings, which- not that she was not shoulder to shoulder with mammals- she gladly spread. No sign of Blitz or his lady friend yet, though there was no way anyone in town would be missing this. For now, her chief concern was making sure nobody tried anything indecent- there were children present at the festivities, after all.

(I'm just going to skip to when Apep's meeting back up with Malfoy.)

 

It didn't take long for Apep to get ready for the bikini contest, and it took her even less time to find Malfoy. "Hey. Gemma's still getting ready, but she should be here in a bit." She said. The snake herself was wearing a purple top with orange markings that also had a scale design. Considering the that that she had no legs, Apep simply wrapped a orange cloth around her waist. "So, ummm, how do I look?"

 

@J.R.

 

Blitz nodded and did the same. It seemed like they were the only two who were interested in actually participating in the event, but he could see a crowd beginning to form behind them.

Scarlet exited the bathrooms wearing a two piece black bikini with a lining made of her own feathers and noticed a dragoness that seemed to be overseeing the festival. An idea then came to mind as to how she would interact with the dragoness, and she walked towards her. "Hey, I'm looking for a friend of mind. He's a dragon with blue markings. Have you seen him?" She asked when she was close enough.

 

@J.R.

Nero sighed as he watched the festivities progress. He hadn't exactly interacted with anyone, but he did eat a bit of the available food. As he moved around, the snake also kept a close eye on the rabbit that was tending the festival, not really trusting the motives of those from the city.

​With another loud ass confetti blaster, the contestants were already in the water, swimming as fast as they could through the water.

Blitz dove into the water as soon as the signal to start was sent. His physical build made it easy for him to swim through the current going into the beach and he began to pass the other contestants.
