Len: *Quickly follows Rin deeper into the water* oヮo *Happens to look towards the land around the same time, chortling when he notices Miku's antics* xD Ahah, look at the size of that ball...! 8O
Miku: *Is so focused on the ball ahead that she doesn't notice Gumi until she's right in front of her* OoO! EEK--...!! *Totally ends up colliding with her*
(The beach ball bounces and rolls farther and farther away, headed right towards where the twins are)

Meiko: *Contentedly slurps on her ice pop* >w>♪ ... *Glances over at Kaito* Beaauuuuutiful weather, huh? :3

by **Swallowfeather** Tue Sep 21, 2021 12:12 am

Gumi: *Is knocked over* EEEEP! D8; *Stumbles and falls backwards, and is now sitting on the sand looking flustered* O~o; S-sorry...!!
Rin: OHH! O-O; ... *Turns her attention to the beach ball* I got it, I got it!! *Starts scrambling through the water towards the ball as fast as she can* *Awkwardly pounces at it once she gets close, trying to grab it, but is hindered by the resistance of the water* *Squeals shrilly as the ball slips right out of her arms and she belly-flops into the water* OoO;!! xDDD

Kaito: *Has his ice pop sticking right into his mouth* Mm? o3o *Takes it out* Oh, definitely... Heheh. x3

Miku: *Stumbles backwards and almost falls over, herself, but just manages to avert it* Whoawhoa...!! O3O; ... Ahh... *Attempts to regain composure as she strolls over to Gumi* Eheheh, it's OK, Gu! I was just toooottally distracted chasing that ball and stuff. nvn; ... I hope I didn't hurt you though! O.O
Len: *Winces a bit when he sees Miku and Gumi collide* O.<;! Ohsnap...! ... *Turns to Rin when she flops spectacularly* O3O;! Oof! You OK, Rin?? ;xDDD *Watches as the ball launches away from them, getting into position to ~speedily~ swim after it*

Meiko: I SO wanna do something fun, soon. *Slurp* >3< Maybe I'll head over to the water with everyone else~

by **Swallowfeather** Tue Sep 21, 2021 1:25 am

Gumi: Nnnnah, I'm fine. ^~^; *Awkwardly gets to her feet and dusts herself off* How about you?
Rin: *Is briefly underwater, then pops back up* PFFFT! I'm OK! >ヮ<; *Starts heading towards the ball again*

Kaito: *Slurp* That sounds like a great idea. x3 ... Hahah, look at that giant beach ball they've got there!

by **Mistystar** Tue Sep 21, 2021 1:40 am

Miku: Yeppers, I'm OK! *Giggle* ^w^; So, like... Ready to get into that waterrrrrr, then? OwO
Len: 'Kay, good~ >w<; *Glances briefly back at Gumi and Miku one more time to make sure they're fine, too* ... *Suddenly goes zoomin' towards the ball like a speedy little fish* O3O

Meiko: Heh, yeah...! It's almost bigger than they are! >ヮ> *Slurp*

by **Swallowfeather** Tue Sep 21, 2021 1:50 am

Gumi: Of course!! ^ヮ^ *Skips towards the water and splashes into it*
Rin: *Also suddenly lunges forward and starts swimming speedily towards the ball* OwO

Kaito: It is...! xD *Slurp*

Luka: *Goes strollin' past Meiko and Kaito, now prepared to enter the sea* *Pauses, turns, and looks at them* *Chuckles and gives them a little wave* Quite relaxing out here, isn't it? x3

by **Mistystar** Tue Sep 21, 2021 2:02 am

Miku: Wheeeeeeeee~! ^ヮ^ *Runs and bounds alongside Gumi right into the water* *Keeps going until the water's a little above her midsection, her twintails floating on the surface* *Splashes around blissfully* >ヮ<
Len: Hehe, let's surround it...! òwó xD *Branches off to come at the ball from a different angle*

Meiko: *Looks up at Luka and waves coolly* Hey, Luka! >w> Sure is~ You're goin' for a swim, too, I take it?

by **Swallowfeather** Tue Sep 21, 2021 2:21 am

Rin: Oooooh, good plan! >ヮ< *Keeps approaching the ball* ÒwÓ

Luka: Mhm~ ... Oh...! I see the others have already gotten started having fun out there. <w<

by **Mistystar** Tue Sep 21, 2021 2:31 am

Len: *Finally reaches the ball* >ヮ> *Grabs onto one side of it, trying really hard not to lose his grip since it's so big and slippery* O3O;

Meiko: *Chuckles* Yep~ >w< Soon as I'm done of this ice pop here--*slurp*--I plan on joining 'em, too!

by **Swallowfeather** Tue Sep 21, 2021 3:01 am

Rin: *Squeaks as she launches herself forward* *Latches onto the other side of the ball at the same time as Len* 8D *Is similarly struggling to hang on*

Luka: Wonderful...! x3 ... *Inconspicuously lifts one foot off of the ground, then shuffles a bit* Well, I'd better keep going... I need to get off of this hot sand. ^.^; See you~ *Keeps strolling to the water, now at a notably quicker pace than before*

by **Mistystar** Tue Sep 21, 2021 3:09 am

Len: Aw yea! >ヮ< ... *Can feel the ball starting to slip even more* owo; Sooooooo uhhhh we should probs get this thing back over to Miku now, huh?

Meiko: Heh, see ya~ xD *Starts slurping her ice pop at a slightly quicker pace, growing more and more eager to join the fun times*

by **Swallowfeather** Tue Sep 21, 2021 3:13 am

Rin: What?? O3O ... Meh, OK~ >:3 *Plants her feet on the ground, lets go of the ball, and takes a few steps away* Bop it over here!

by **Mistystar** Tue Sep 21, 2021 3:18 am

Len: O3O! 'Kay...! *Similarly plants his feet on the ground* *In one swift motion, lets go of the ball and then gives it a solid push towards Rin* >ヮ>

by **Swallowfeather** Tue Sep 21, 2021 3:21 am

Rin: *Grabs the ball securely with both hands* ÒwÓ *Calls to Miku* Yo, Miku!! *Takes the ball, tosses it up in the air, then SMACKS it towards Miku* HEADS UP!!!! >ヮ<

by **Mistystar** Tue Sep 21, 2021 3:33 am

Len: *Watches the ball go flying* OoO Nice shot...! >ヮ<
Miku: Hwa?? O.O *Turns to see the ball* AH! *LEAPS, trying to catch it* ;8OOO *Ends up smacking it away instead with her flailing arms* OH whoopsie...!! O3O; >w<;

by **Swallowfeather** Tue Sep 21, 2021 3:40 am

Rin: EEE! O3O; *SMACKS the ball again when it comes flying at her, sending it flying WAY off course* xDD
Luka: *Is surprised when she's suddenly bopped with the ball* O.O!
Rin: O_O; wuh oh

by **Mistystar** Tue Sep 21, 2021 3:44 am

Len: *Squeaks with laughter as the ball goes flying dramatically off course* xDDD ... *Abruptly goes silent when it hits Luka* O^O;
Miku: *Also freezes* L-Luka...! O.O;

by **Swallowfeather** Tue Sep 21, 2021 3:57 am

Gumi: *ALSO freezes* Eep...! O-O;
Luka: *Simply starts chuckling heartily in reaction to what just happened* Oops... It got away from you there~ >w< *Calmly retrieves the ball and gently bops it back towards the others*

by **Mistystar** Tue Sep 21, 2021 4:08 am

Miku: *Catches the ball for real this time* Heehee, yeah... >w<; Thanks, Luka! *Tosses it straight up and catches it again, just because* ^ヮ^ *Proceeds to offer it to Gumi next* ?8D
Len: Phew... n3n; *Instantly relaxes again after seeing Luka's chill reaction to things* ... *Casually waves to her in greeting like nothing happened* Heeeey, Luka~! oヮo/)

by **Swallowfeather** Thu Sep 23, 2021 3:35 am

Gumi: *Giggles in awkward relief and waves at Luka* ^ヮ^;/) *Gratefully accepts the beach ball* OヮO
Luka: *Laughs softly and returns the greeting* Hellooo~ >w>/) *Starts wading into the water* Run into any sea life yet?

by **Mistystar** Thu Sep 23, 2021 3:54 am

Len: 8O Nope... *Now that he's thinking about it, curiously starts scanning the water in search of sea life* *Wades in a little deeper, until the water's just below neck-level* O3O?
Miku: *Smiles perkily at Gumi* ^w^ *Joins in the sea life topic* Ohhhh! I hope we find something pretty...! OwO *Wades around and also searches*

by **Swallowfeather** Thu Sep 23, 2021 4:09 am

Rin: *Eagerly goes with Len in search of creatures as well* O3O??
Gumi: Oh yeaaahh...! OwO ... *Casually puts the beach ball down and joins in the wading and searching*
Luka: *Gets a little nervous when Rin and Len start heading into deeper water* o-o; *Walks into the water a little faster, then quickly swims over to keep an eye on them* *Stands nearby, with the water not coming up as high for her due to her being taller than them* Careful... The water's pretty deep here. owò;

by **Mistystar** Thu Sep 23, 2021 4:31 am

Len: *Pauses briefly when he hears Luka* o-o! Eh? *Glances over at her* Oh... Yeah, I don't think we'll be goin' much deeper than this, don't worry~ nwn; *Strolls along while remaining around neck-level, looking to the sand in front of him while trying to avoid getting seawater up his nose* O3O;
Miku: *Sudden idea* Oh hey, what if I, like... went back and got us all some goggles?! :D

by **Swallowfeather** Fri Sep 24, 2021 2:44 am

Rin: Yeah we'll be fiiine, stop your worrying! >ヮ< *Eagerly scans the sand, trying to see through the water's distortion* O3O
Luka: Hmmmph... ō~ò; *Isn't reassured* *Follows along, keeping a short distance, trying not to appear too pushy* ... I still think it would be a good idea to head back a little...

Gumi: OoO ... That's a great ideaaa! We could actually get a close look at the sand underwater!

by **Mistystar** Fri Sep 24, 2021 3:12 am

Len: *Wants to keep exploring, but also trusts Luka's judgement* Welp, okay... n3ǹ; *Backs up a couple of steps, but suddenly pauses* *Spots something small and colorful a little deeper in, though it's hard to tell what it is through the water* O.O! Huuuh? I think I see something out there... *Caught up in the curiosity, ends up inching a little closer once more*

Miku: Hehe, I'll be riiiiight back, then~! OwO *Splashes back towards land, scooping up their huge beach ball along the way*
