[OPEN MINGLE] if everybody had an ocean
Who: Eleanor and YOU!
What: Elly's beach party!
Where:: The beach!
When: Within the first week of June
Warnings: Hopefully none, just beach shennanigans
Eleanor's hosting a beach party! Although it's primarily meant for her and her friends, everyone is welcome. So come and partake in some swimming, some games, and even the food! Feel free to respond to the prompts here or to create your own below :)can you tell i like the beach boys
1] Then Everybody'd Be Surfin'
The party is in full swing, with games on the go and a few Pokemon splashing about in the shallows. Eleanor's taken it upon herself to double up as a lifeguard, keeping an eye on those less adept at swimming should they enter the water. She knows it'll probably be fine, since it is just shallow waves. But perhaps someone who is too small is trying to recklessly catch them with no clue as to how surfing works. Regardless, she stands relatively close to the water, before finally splashing in herself to try and catch up with one of her friends.
2] Like Californ-I-A
When she's not by the water, Eleanor can be found participating in a rather janky game of volleyball. Originally she'd tried to see if the game would work with one of her bubbles, but they've acquiesced and borrowed a ball from the sports club. It's not like she can't go grab it should it get knocked into the ocean. But still, the game is tough and more than a little confusing for her, so she's quick to dip out to go and peruse the snack options instead. There's a lot of cut up fresh fruit, some grilled veggie skewers, and even a couple of meat options for the more carnivorously inclined. All of it freshly cooked on a small firepit. She's mostly helping herself to the fruit - it's an assortment of berries and what... could probably be melons? She's not actually sure, since a lot of the snacks and food has been provided by other Pokemon. The melon pieces appear to have been smashed, though. In fact, there's someone blindfolded and trying to smash another one not too far away.
It's not a beach activity she's personally familiar with, but she's glad whoever that is is having fun?
3] Everybody's Gone Surfin'
One activity previously not on the itinerary is sandcastle building - which Eleanor has been roped into by her Popplio friends. While certainly not something suited for a party, perhaps, it is suited for the beach! The younger Pokemon eagerly gather around her, packing in the sand and reinforcing it with some weak water attacks to make the sand more secure.
Eleanor's sandcastle seems... different, though. Far different to her companions at least.

Umemiya Hajime - Wind Breaker - Lucario - Wildly OTA
Look, someone had to take charge where food was involved, and Umemiya has access to all the best vegetables, and was able to go hunting the day before the party. He's set up the grill pits with charcoal and fragrant wood chops. He's made the skewers of onions and bell peppers and zucchini, as well as the few with marinated Pidove and Tepig for those who eat meat.
He can't help but remember his arrival to the Bay, in weather like this. Occasionally, there's a quiet glance around in case he might catch a glimpse of a shiny melon-stealing Thievul. It drags his mood down just slightly, as he passes fresh-grilled food to anyone and everyone.
2. Petal Wizard
The party continues through the afternoon, and into the evening. As the sun begins to set, a breeze of red flower petals floats in the breeze, Umemiya's contribution to the decor to make the late night scenery even prettier than the afternoon had been. He's found a tall dune to stand on, and is using Petal Blizzard to shower the beach with plum blossom petals.
Because why not?
Of course, if anyone's done their homework, they know this isn't part of the standard Lucario moveset. But it's thematic as fuck for Umemiya, isn't it?
3. Wildcard
Bring your own excuse to bother Ume~
1!
"Are you just going to be cooking the whole time, or...?"
no subject
Ume's not wearing his coat, not on a hot day like this, but the green is still represented in his wardrobe with a scarf holding his aura-sensing tendrils back from his face.
no subject
Eleanor doesn't really wear much or accessorise to begin with. Brionne comes with having built-in clothes (sort of), and said frills are ruffling in the sea breeze.
no subject
It works a lot better with human bodies, but Ume's one of the lucky ones who's close enough to humanoid.
no subject
"Sounds fun!" She chirps in reply. Surfacers have such fun games, she thinks. The volleyball game happening somewhere off-screen was another she hadn't been totally familiar with, but is enjoying watching pan out. "Are there enough Pokemon here with the right anatomy for that, though?"
She tilts her head to the side thoughtfully.
no subject
no subject
She doubts she can participate herself, and it's a shame really. But nothing would stop her from spectating and being able to laugh at whoever falls off.
no subject
Not that he'd be wrong to do so, if Ume stayed working all day.+
no subject
In the meantime, she's begun to munch on her veggie skewer.
no subject
He leans in to boop his snoot against the top of her head lightly.
no subject
1.
It's how they met, after all. (The thought about how long she's been in this world, now, threatens to overwhelm her. She ignores it.)
no subject
His tail begins wagging at the idea, because yes, yes he totally wants to smash one open and share the guts with her.
no subject
Using a powerful Double Kick, she cracks the watermelon perfectly. It's a far cry from the little tap she used the first time they met.
There's no real ladylike way to eat it with no hands, so she leans down and starts eating a chunk. "I've been training with Anasui recently. I think I've got a better grip on things, maybe."
1
His snack doesn't keep him from noticing when Umemiya starts to get a little distracted though.
"Need a break?"
no subject
"Break won't do any good right now. I just...I was wondering if somehow Endo would be here, like he was on the beach when I arrived, stealing my watermelon. But he's not here now, I should know that."
no subject
He knows it's more complicated than that word would imply. They never were able to figure out where Endo went all those months ago, turned around as they got.
"Still doesn't hurt to keep a look out. Stranger things, right?"
2
But after several hours of smelling the food during his flight, he can't ignore his curiosity any longer. He drops down to follow the scent of charcoal, only for a particularly strong breeze to coat him with the very petals Umemiya just produced.
Cedric, being ever the graceful corvid, takes the sudden blindness so well that he caws in surprise and collapses into the sand. His legs pop out from the new petal pile, flailing aimlessly.
