Summer End Beach Party!

[masukukunai.livejournal.com]

Who: Yousuke Hanamura and THE WHOLE DAMN MANSION (if you want to)
Where: The beach!
When: Sunday, August 28, around 2 pm
Rating: In the PGs
Summary: Throwing a beach party to celebrate the end of summer!

The Story: Perfect. Everything was perfect.

And honestly, Yousuke was surprised.

Anyone who knew him would also know that there was no such thing as a plan of his that went off without a hitch. The closets had been cooperative in providing games and such, he had had plenty of volunteers to help him carry stuff, and whatever else needed to be done. The weather was good; a little windy but sunny and warm. The beach was empty, as always, so they had plenty of room to spread out. And most importantly, the girl's hadn't been let anywhere near the refreshments, so no-one was going to get food poisoning!

Yes, this was good. Yousuke surveyed his handiwork and nodded his head in self-approval. People would be sure to come; it's not like they had anything better to do, right?

[For your thread-starting convenience, here are some ideas for activities!

- Beach volleyball
- Boogie boards
- Kite flying
- Sandcastle making
- Frisbee
- Innertubes for chilling on the waves
- Sunbathing
- Delicious refreshments (Souji made!)
- Smash-the-watermelon
- And a fire with s'mores after dark

And whatever else you could bring or think up!

Please enjoy yourselves, mingle, and make new CR! Notices for the party have been left in common areas, so everyone is invited!]

You had at least two ideas on the camping trip and neither of those worked. The cooking competition was your idea, both your ideas at the culture festival didn't work, when you wanted to meet "Risette" didn't go that smoothly, and neither did spying on Kanji, since he chased you and Chie away. [Yes he's counting these on his fingers.] That's seven already. Should I keep going?

[masukukunai.livejournal.com]

You're keeping count? [He claps Souji over the back, hard.] You ass! Besides, you're supposed to help a bro out, not just stand around and do nothing like you usually do.

[eatsyourscience.livejournal.com]

[coughing now GOD.] I made the food, didn't I?

[masukukunai.livejournal.com]

For this, yeah! Because I told you to!

[eatsyourscience.livejournal.com]

You usually don't tell me about your plans beforehand.

[masukukunai.livejournal.com]

Well then I'll be sure to inform you from here on out.

[Souji nudges him with his elbow.]

Don't sulk.

[masukukunai.livejournal.com]

[/sulking :(]

...Signing the girls up for the pageant wasn't a total failure. We got to see them in swimsuits again.

[masukukunai.livejournal.com]

...But we had to see Kashiwagi and Hanako.

[And they'll never get over the trauma.]

[eatsyourscience.livejournal.com]

At least breaking into their room at the inn was Teddie's idea and not yours.

[masukukunai.livejournal.com]

Yeah, now that was really traumatic.

[eatsyourscience.livejournal.com]

So was the love hotel on the school trip.

So, officially, Kashiwagi's ideas are a lot worse and way more traumatizing than yours.

[masukukunai.livejournal.com]

S'true, I guess. We really got shafted in terms of homeroom teachers, huh.

[eatsyourscience.livejournal.com]

That wasn't a good example of a normal school year for any of us.

[masukukunai.livejournal.com]

Normal? What the hell does normal mean anymore. I sure don't know, do you?

[eatsyourscience.livejournal.com]

I definitely wouldn't be the person to ask about that.

[masukukunai.livejournal.com]

Neither of us.

[He leans back on his hands with a sigh.]

Still... It is a pretty good day.

[eatsyourscience.livejournal.com]

[Souji can actually start keeping a list of good Yousuke ideas. But he doesn't want anymore sulking, so he doesn't say so.]

It's kind of weird to do the same stuff here we might have done at home.

[masukukunai.livejournal.com]

A little.

[He did have to admit, he liked that he got to be with his friends here. At first it was kind of lonely, but then the rest of the IT came, and it wasn't so bad. Especially that Souji got to be here with them when in reality he would have been at his school in the city.]

[Yeah, he liked that a lot. He rubs his fist under his nose.]

...I still like it though.

[eatsyourscience.livejournal.com]

[Souji tilted his head back, looking at the sky. As long as he was here, he didn't have to worry about how he'd keep up with his friends in Inaba or how strange it would be to make new ones back in the city. Even if he worried about the rest of the IT here during events, it wasn't any different from being inside the TV world.]

Yeah...me too.
