MINGLE: BEACH DAY BABAY

[powerhittou]

Who: You, and you!
What: Exactly what it says on the tin.
When: Sometime mid-August.
Where: Down on the BEACH.
Warnings: Uh... Mark your threads if they get a little too wet and wild, I guess?

You didn't think summer would go by without at least one day for fun in the sun, did you? Of course, with how close Pelican Town is to the beautiful clear waters of the ocean, hopefully some people went more than just the once.

There's no particular event going on today, but for some reason everyone seems to be swinging by around the same time. A convenient contrivance? The work of a mysterious stranger parading through the streets and bellowing about summer because he didn't learn from being arrested the first time? Who can say?

Anyway, it's the beach. You know what to do. Go fish off the piers, sunbathe, make sand castles, collect shells, get swept away by the undertow and never seen again, play volleyball, go nuts. Just look out for jellyfish.

Ha! [Jecht leans back, tipping his head so all that unruly hair spills back.] You're all right, y'know.

[goesawol]

[The arch of an eyebrow.] Am I? [Although, she's not really shocked at the admission itself. She knows she's alright, but for Jecht to tell her is something different.]

[sublimelymagnificentblitz]

Yeah, you get it. You'd make a hell of a blitzer. [And there are few higher compliments Jecht can give.]

[goesawol]

[With the way he raves about the sport, she knows it's high praise. Still...]

Is that your M.O.? Flattery?

[sublimelymagnificentblitz]

Naw, I never give compliments that ain't deserved. And sometimes not even then!

[Easy enough to believe, right?]

[goesawol]

[ Right.]

That's kind of harsh to some people, though, isn't it?

[sublimelymagnificentblitz]

Naw. Sometimes it's pride. You don't give out compliments to the guy on the other team, you show your respect for 'em by giving your all against them. And then some people don't like compliments like that.

[goesawol]

[She looks thoughtfully at the water, humming quietly.] You could, though. It would mess with them a little.

[sublimelymagnificentblitz]

Yeah, I know some guys who do that sort of thing. Ain't my style though. And it never works on me, since I deserve any compliment everyone gives me. [He flashes her a big wink.]
