[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! ]

Catrina turns around since she has no neck or is likely a head with arms...the jury is out on this one.

Huh? Tiny teddy bear mouse? Okay that won Catrina over, she likes teddy bears. Congratulations Aelita, you're spared mostly from the insanity that is Catrina's erratic behavior.

"Yeah? Why?"

Catrina's self preservation is truly something else...

Aelita had long since given up on Pokemon anatomy. She'd tried studying humans for her materialisation program, that'd been hard enough.

At the reaction and the...complete lack of panic Aelita blinks.

"Oh, that's okay then. I suppose.... but doesn't that mean the fire going out is bad?"

Unsuuuure.
gimmeeyeballs: (IT WASN'T ME!)

Mutual handshake at not understanding Pokemon anatomy..Catrina cannot for her life figure out what mammals are able to do. What do you mean mammals can't regenerate body part!? That's nonsense!

However, when Aelita does mention the fire going out being potentially bad, something clicked in place. The clapping of Catrina's braincells alerted her long hibernating self preservation at long last.

"Now that yah mention it...not sure what could happen if my flame went out...would I get PokeLichhood?"

Catrina no...there are NO liches in the Pokemon world!

"PokeLichhood?" She was tilting her head. 'Poke' she could guess from what some people had said. The rest? Nope, she had no idea what that mean.

Aelita just stared for a moment.

"I think the fire is there for a reason."
gimmeeyeballs: (LE GASP!!)

"Yeah it's like a Lich but you're also a Pokemon too." Catrina lied as she's clearly waist deep in the denial of there being no truly undead abominations in the Pokemon world.

Wait...was this a staring contest? Catrina likes those as she stares right back at Aelita. This was a very fun beach game, Catrina is liking this!

"...That's a good point...." How could she ever possibly pull off the nonexistent PokeLich route without the ghostly flame on her head!? Aelita definitely saved Catrina from making a very regrettable mistake right there.
