[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! ]

Noelle Holiday | Deltarune

i. Beach Goths (closed to Shoka)

[Noelle arrives on the beach with only some accessories- such as her spiked bracelets- omitting her new goth outfits. Even though most Pokemon don't wear clothes, she feels oddly naked now.

But, alas. It's important for as much of her to get sunlight as possible. As much as she loves the Winter and all its holidays, her new body has been forcing her to become a Summer girlie. Spending a month in the Archives doing her research has been hell on her Grass-type urges to go out and photosynthesize, so she's playing catch up now, parking herself on the beach and absorbing as much sunlight as possible.

She casts a long shadow, which serves her shadow-dwelling girlfriend perfectly. The only downside is that she's shedding again-- this time, some of her pink fur is being replaced by green. Summer really is coming up, isn't it?
]

Doing okay back there? [She turns a little to see how Shoka is doing.]

ii. Long Runs on the Beach (open)

[She can't really make a sand castle with her hooves, and she stays out of the sea-- it reminds her too much of the time she thought she saw someone important to her and had to be dragged back to safety.

Instead, she starts suggesting a race. She's had enough photosynthesizing and wants to work off some energy! She'll allow you to swim or fly instead if you prefer, but she'll be running.
]

-- How about the first one to that huge palm tree and back? [The tallest palm tree is far off in the distance.]

iii. Wildcard

[Hit me up!]

Yes! But don't think I'm going to go easy on you just because we're friends!

[A few Pokemon nearby gather to watch. One of them- an unusually diurnal Hoothoot- counts down. "Three... two... one... HOOT!"

Noelle instantly takes off, galloping across the sand.

[It seems pretty even for a moment... but is the goal getting further away?

Wait. Now that she's closer, she realizes that it wasn't a tall palm tree, it's an Alolan Exeggutor-- and, noticing the Pokemon charging in its direction, it's decided to run away!
]

W-wait! We don't want to hurt you! [Noticeably, she does not stop running.]
