Obligatory beach episode!

[srwu_npc]

"May I have everyone's attention? Members of Unity Group, we noticed that you've been working very hard lately but also some of our people were pretty stressed out. Resting is a part of your duties too, so I have talked to a few people in charge from other organisations and, long story short, you have a short vacation in a tropical resort."

"Please enjoy it."


"I'll be there too!"

[1 - mingle thread]
As commander Antov just said, you have a two day vacation to enjoy. Beach, ocean, beautiful weather - it's all there just for you!

Unity Group is not the only organisation making use of the resort. You may be able to find interesting individuals from other groups lurking about... or maybe just swimsuit-clad bodies to ogle. If that's your thing you pervert.

All general vacation shenanigans go here.

[2 - for Yuuya]
The famous Russian TSF pilots known as Scarlet Twins are here - and unfortunately it seems Tarisa got in a bit of a fight with the younger one, Inia. It was decided the two will get along by participating in a paddle boat competition together, except there's one tiny problem...


"Nooo! I don't want to... I must be together with Cryska!"

The young Russian girl was grabbing a tree firmly, refusing to budge. Finally, with an exasperated sigh, Cryska decided to intervene. But she was not alone...


"... Fine, I'll switch with you then."
"... Fine, I'll switch with you then."

And that's how Yui and Cryska ended in one boat together, awkwardly paddling away. But what's this - if you give their vessel a glance, suddenly there's only a (rather panicked looking, unusually for herself) Yui on board. Did the Russian ditch her?

[3 - for Izuru]
As you wander around the resort, a sight draws your attention.


A young white-haired woman is talking to a tall man in a suit. It's too far to see what they're talking about, but suddenly it seems the conversation takes a turn for the heated. She tries to leave, and he grabs her by the arm.

Are they arguing? Are they fighting?! Also... why does the woman seem so familiar?

[4]
It seems the trip was not without incident. Several participants of the boat rowing contest are missing and the weather is getting worse. It's time to organize an in-mecha search party before they are caught in the rain for days and starve or something.

Also, someone threw Izuru into deep waters and he's not too good of a swimmer. Someone should probably rescue him.

Ah don't worry, we just need to make sure that we're not seen.

[There is no shame here.]

[break_the_nine]

We'll be like ninjas. Ninjas with cardboard boxes. They'll never be able to see us.

[Until they do that is. Leos grins at Willis and gives the man a thumbs up.]

[actuallyselfish]

"Hey guys!" Dido exclaims, walking up in a single-piece suit, towel over her shoulders.

"Can I join in?"

[glorystargo]

Ah, hello.

[Toby decides to act innocently.]

Could you please be a little more quiet?

[actuallyselfish]

"Why?" Dido asks innocently. "Aren't you guys planning a game of volleyball?"

[ugyuuya]

[Managing to not immediately panic at discovery by Dido VG scrambles for an excuse.]

Well we were planning on playing a game a bit later but we forgot to grab a ball. Maybe you could go grab one from the resort proper and we'll meet you at the beach.

[actuallyselfish]

Dido laughs. "That was dumb of you!"

She turns to go. "I think I saw a gift shop somewhere nearby. Catch you folks when the surf's up."

Annnnd she's gone. You can breath easy now.

[glorystargo]

Ahh, we almost blew over cover there. That was close.

[Toby looks around.]

Do the targets suspect anything?

[ugyuuya]

I don't believe so. Let us continue on in our mission men.

[a_linear_mind]

Now...where should we start?

[ugyuuya]

I was debating between Stella or Selena for starters. I think Stella's a bit closer so we can try to swing by there before we move on to additional targets.

[With that VG begins to approach on of the nearby cabins.]

(Is this disruptive? If so, I can delete this...)

[actuallyselfish]

"Ah-ha!"

Dido steps out from behind a palm tree and points a finger at you.

"So you guys were playing Peeping Tom after all!"

She strokes her chin in thought. "Now the question is, should I raise the alarm or not...?"

[glorystargo]

What are you talking about? We were just RUN FOR IT!

[actuallyselfish]

"Wait!" Dido says, reaching out a hand. "Aren't you going to bribe me?"

[a_linear_mind]

Remember to meet up at THAT spot afterwards! Good luck men!

[Full scale splitting up goooo.]

[glorystargo]

Wait, bribe, what?

[ugyuuya]

[VG breaks for the window to take one look at Stella before moving on. Instead of spotting her in the window Stella instead opens the door]

Hello VG, were you expecting something?

[The Italian freezes for a moment before the sound of being slapped resounds. VG is rather stunned by the slap and the commotion has begun to draw more attention.]

[actuallyselfish]

Dido witnesses all the commotion with a sad pout, holding a small camera in her hand.

"It was the perfect plan..." She moans to Toby. "Selling my silence in exchange for photos of the U.G.'s hottest hunks applying suntan lotion to each other's bare chests..."

She shakes a fist to the heavens. "Damn you, reality!"
