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.

[And what does Kei do when faced with a beautiful beach, lots of people to mingle with and sparkling water? Huddle under a beach umbrella and look uncertain about what to do, of course.]

[cloningblues]

[And Asagi takes the opportunity to just lie down in a deck chair and relax in the sun. Talk about boring.]

[herodrawing]

Hey!

[Izuru approaches, holding a ball.]

Let's play. It's training for the show for the minister, later!

[glorystargo]

Ahh, youth.

[Denzel is wearing one of those silly umbrella hats. He relaxes, a cold beer in hand.]


[But watch out, Toby is sneaking behind his Chief, armed with a bucket of cold ocean water.]

[cloningblues]

[Asagi cuts him off before he can even finish.]

No.

[majestic_keiki]

One bit of public gymnastics is going to be plenty.

[Gathering a select handful of like-minded individuals, VG begins to lead them through an area of high grass nearby the resort. Upon the inevitable question as to WHY they're crawling through the grass instead of changing to head to the beach...]

Don't you want to see the girls changing? It's traditional and would insult the girls if we didn't.

[Complete lies but ones that befit VG's world views.]

[A group of Gebians is busy creating very large pyramids from sand. And not just pyramids - there's also temples and palaces, and a whole lot of other ancient Egyptian architecture! And who watches over the construction?]


A few more obelisks would be good. Yes, by the road to the grand temple over there.

[herodrawing]

[With an expression of okay.jpg, Izuru departs as quickly as he arrived.]

[glorystargo]

Lead on, chief. Glory Stars are specialists at sneaking around, they'll never see me coming.

[ugyuuya]

[Taking a moment to look over at his panicked superior with her apparently missing partner Yuuya turns back to Vincent.]

I'm going to swim over and see what's wrong, head back and let them know that something's wrong.

[With that Yuuya dives in and swims to Yui's raft, pulling himself up and over the rim before taking in the scene of Cryska in poor shape lying in Yui's lap before looking up to ask.]

Lt. Takamura what happened?

[srwu_npc]

"Something's wrong with Ensign Barchenowa!" That much is obvious just from looking.

"She seemed very pale, so I asked her if everything's alright and she said it's fine. But now, she just fainted."

[ben_dixon]

*Behind you is Kakizaki in silly striped swimsuit.*

Do you guys have a particular target in mind?

[dolorous_sensei]

Beach! Why it has to be a beach! I'm in despair!

[a_linear_mind]

You're thinking too small Kakizaki.

[And here's Commander #2 and he pulls out a list.]

They would be offended if we only went after one person.

[ugyuuya]

[Nodding to Willis VG grins madly before continuing forward.]

I knew there would be those who understood the heart of a true man, let's keep moving or we'll miss our chance.

[ugyuuya]

[Pulling himself over the edge and into the raft Yuuya grabs one of the oars sitting in the floor and gets ready to row.]

Alright, you just keep taking care of her and I'll row back in to shore. If she's fainted out here then any more sun probably won't help. If her condition changes let me know.

[a_linear_mind]

[Willis just gives a thumbs up as the pervert brigade continues their mission.]

[cloningblues]

Why does a beach of all things put you in despair?

Re: 1

[majestic_keiki]

That's the most impressive sand architecture I've ever seen.

[srwu_npc]

"Understood. Stay with me, Ensign."

Drip. Rain starts to fall - judging by the cloudy weather, it won't be just a small drizzle either.

Soon enough the three of you are being drenched by rainfall.

[glorystargo]

I wonder will we see anyone we know. That'd be awkward.


[At the same time, Setsuko sneezes while changing.]

Re: 1

[abugslife]

My people have thousands of years of experience as monument builders, after all. You could say it is a bit of a hobby for all of us.

[Time for more commands for the other Gebians.]
Careful with the statue of Horus. In 17 seconds it will be too dry to move safely.

[a_linear_mind]

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

[There is no shame here.]

Re: 1

[majestic_keiki]

Yes, but it's like you're all engineers...And sand is hard to work with.
