Da Beach

Dango came home from Vauc'Tutt n' Butts after agreeing to help Roarin hunt for a treasure. From his home he'd retrieve what he needed to traverse the jungle: His machete which he kept sharp for when he'd make trips into the jungle, his pack which he filled with rope and anti-venom, A bow and quiver of arrows, and his Blessed Skull Mask. The mask was blessed by his father Tobago, and kept Dango safe.

Once he had all his supplies he'd wait on his porch for the others.

While Soraya had been perplexed at the blue skinned uh... thing... for leaving so suddenly when they all agreed to go for treasure, she was even more perplexed by Uncle Mayor's attitude towards him.

She trekked over the white sand towards Dango's hut, reaching a hand up to wipe sweat from her temple and to once more put her white shirt to rights. She'd unloaded some of her things at Tutt and Butts so her satchel was much lighter (but the Egg was still inside), and stood looking at the wrestling men with her hands on the flare of her hips.

"Is this how it's always going to be?" she asked in general.

Carmen arrives at the beach. She's made sure her ship and crew are dealt with and safe, and has packed up some adventuring gear.

"Hi Dango. Hi Mr. Mayor."

She deliberately ignores the kid. She's got no respect for her elders.

"Alright, what are we doing now?"

"Ah, I apologize for ma hastiness then, Mistah Fletcha. I may have been too excited ta get started." Dango removed the mask and his other stuff and would put it away. As Roarin stomps off Dango would address the girls. "Well, ya heard what he said. I'll meet ya all tomorrow. If you'll excuse meh I'm gonna be working on crafting my latest board before turnin' in for da night."

Dango would walk over to his workbench that had a long length of wood perched upon it. The wood had a outline drawn on it in paint, where Dango intended to the board to come from. He'd grab his tools and start carving the wood away.

"Yes, sir," Soraya says to the Drunk, their initial meeting almost entirely forgotten. "Er, Uncle," she amended quickly. When he rounds on Carmen and threatens her, Soraya can't help but subconsciously lift a hand to her cheek. Was there a brui--

She hissed and lowered her hand. Yep, there was a bruise. Soraya wasn't either pleased or annoyed at how her "Uncle" threatened Carmen. Soraya had no intentions of listening to Carmen unless the others seemed willing to do so, but she also wasn't out to cause a wedge between friends. That was Carmen's own doing by using her fists to communicate instead of her words.

When the blue-skinned troll goes over to finish working on his board, Soraya finds herself curious, too. She doesn't say anything while Carmen's there, but once Carmen leaves, Soraya asks a few questions, having never heard of surfing before.

She stays to talk about surfing just long enough until she can tell when she's annoying Dango or really not wanted, and then she leaves as well. With the money that Uncle Mayor gave her, she rents a room and sleeps for the night, her bag cuddled in her arms and Egg nice and safe inside of it.

Ymir follows Spero into the water, jumping in after him.

Ahh, the water's so cool and refreshing. I hope there's no sharks around here. Do they have sharks in Carmela? I dunno. Do they have giant squids? Ugh...I think a shark would be better than a giant squid. I hope I don't run into any of either, though.

She carefully scans the water, looking for fins or tentacles. 

"Spero, do you know if they have sharks around here?"

Huh, it's been almost a week since I thought about bears last. That's weird.

Ymir smiles, wrapping her arms around Spero's neck.

"Yes, you have. You're my knight in shining armor, Spero. Always ready to protect me from danger."

Like sharks, or bears, or giant squids. Spero will keep them away.

She leans back, floating in the water. She floats really well for some reason.

Ymir follows him, clinging to his arm.

Ooh...armor. Huh, I wonder why I've always floated so easy. Maybe demons have light bones.

"Really? You'll have to show me sometime."

She follows him up to the beach, lying next to him when he lies down on the blanket. After a moment, she rolls over to press up against him.

"This was a good idea, Spero. I never imagined I'd ever come here, much less with someone like you."

She giggles.

Ymir turns red.

"Out here? What if somebody sees?"

It's dark, and it's an abandoned part of the beach...we probably won't be caught. But what if we are? What if we get caught and arrested and thrown off the island? I like it here, I don't wanna go. Still, it is kinda hot to do it outside.

She glances around to assure herself that there's nobody around.

"I suppose...but we'll have to be careful. I don't want to get caught."
