[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.

4] Surfin' USA
[ standard wildcard option! eleanor will also hit up any tls posted below because it's her party after all! ]

It can be argued that Catrina was in fact both stupid and ballsy at this point. The ocean has failed today in claiming its prize, for now. There was always the Dragonfloat Festival to try again.

Catrina gives Eleanor the blanket amphibian stare she's known for, somehow translating well into the candle formate. "Holy shit, a Mermaid..."

That was all Catrina could even say at this, ignoring the fact her waxy life was saved.
gimmeeyeballs: Yeah whatever (I hear yah)

Eleanor may have seen Catrina either in the cave, the aftermath of her teams' interpretation of 'The Lord of the Flies' during the last quest, or most recently, in the clinic cocooned in a cast after said quest.

....Catrina looks at Eleanor and then at herself again. No fair, Catrina just had to be a candle instead of a cute seal mermaid creature.

"Brionne? Well shit, I definitely got unlucky then with this candle beast form."
gimmeeyeballs: (IT WASN'T ME!)

Oh sweet, innocent Eleanor, Catrina is beyond the normal levels of socially inept. Oh no, Catrina pretty much exists on her own plane of ineptitude, though nowhere nearly as terrible as Fernando's.

"....I got a really dumb Pokemon name. Why couldn't it been called 'Smokey Joe'?"
gimmeeyeballs: Yeah whatever (I hear yah)

[personal profile] gimmeeyeballs 2026-06-02 07:04 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well shit, I'm a Smokey Joe then." Catrina was running with that one to be called instead of a Litwick.

However, moment Eleanor has turned her attention away from Catrina...that little sideshow is back to tempting fate with the ocean. The ocean is getting a second chance with laying claim to its prize!

Welcome to how Anasui and Robin were feeling during the Froslass quest...they had to restrain her inside of Robin before the whole 'I LOVE YOU FROSLASS' moment happened.

"Cause it is fun."

Probably best to drag Catrina away from the ocean...maybe she can double as a volleyball?
gimmeeyeballs: Yeah whatever (I hear yah)

"That's fine, I'll just come back later after a trip to the Necro Hut."

....No one has told Catrina that once she's gone...she's like turbo not even coming back gone.
gimmeeyeballs: Yah didn't hear it from me (So I heard so and so did this)

Pretty much, but, this is the much, MUCH tamer dickhead compared to her brother. Catrina has grown bored of the ocean anyways, much to the ocean's objections. Its prize has walked away and going towards the food area....again it's a miracle that Catrina isn't like eating the beach ball or rocks for that matter ever since getting turned into a candle.
