[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's a game with teams of two. One guy sits on another guy's shoulders, and the other teams try to knock the guy on top off. It's played in the water so it doesn't hurt as much when you're knocked off."

It works a lot better with human bodies, but Ume's one of the lucky ones who's close enough to humanoid.

"...that's probably a good question." One he doesn't have an actual answer to. Hell, even if they do, would enough of them want to try it?
fromsprouts: (la~)

"And if I can't, I'll still take a break to go splash in the water instead of spending all day working at the grill. If for no other reason, to stop Anasui from bitching me out."

Not that he'd be wrong to do so, if Ume stayed working all day.+

"Don't worry too much, El. I'll be good."

He leans in to boop his snoot against the top of her head lightly.
