BEACH EPISODE PART 2

Who: Dreamers Decadence, Flyhigh and Mind!
When: Sometime after Zeke's group hits Facet Lagoon
Where: Facet Lagoon
What: slacking off Stabilizing the beach that's already been stabilized!

[The fog between dreamspaces gradually fades, revealing the sapphire sky and gemstone-studded ivory sand of Facet Lagoon. It's as stunningly serene as ever, with no sign of the distortions that have been plaguing the rest of the Dream Sphere. There's not even a single cloud to mar the pefect sky. Ango runs across the warm sand, kicking off his shoes.]

Yes!! It looks like Zeke's crew already stabilized this place after all, so all we've gotta do is stick that unicorn horn somewhere, and then we can set up the beach umbrella and the frozen margarita machine...

[Ango catches Kozakura's disapproving look. At least Misfire is on board, but it only took the promise of an extra-large bag of Cheetos to get Misfire on board.]

...I mean, we can do research! Serious sciency stuff!

[Technically, they're supposed to be figuring out the effects of double-stabilizing an area of the Dream Sphere, but that kind of thing is way beyond Ango's pay grade. He and Misfire are here to provide dubious "support" while Kozakura does the science.]

I'm gonna check out the waves... for science, you know?

[The surfboard that materializes in Ango's hands hints at less-than-scientific objectives, though. He runs towards the water's edge and tosses the board into the lagoon. Is it just his imagination, or is the normally crystal-clear water a lot murkier than usual? Suddenly, a dark shape appears beneath the surface of the water... and something grabs Ango's surfboard and drags it into the shadowy depths.]

[Misfire - well, Flyhigh, now they’re in the dream sphere - wastes no time in following Decadence to the water, getting ready to dive right in there…

…and skids to an audible stop when the surfboard goes under. Fearfully, he turns around, and with a tone much like a child in need of a parent, calls out:]


Mind? There’s science in the water.

[ Kozakura sighs. She'd happily fix the situation, turn around, and head home immediately, but she's also fairly certain that it won't be that simple. ]

You can have fun once I'm satisfied enough to leave.

[ Don't worry, it's fine, she'll just do the actual work and let the jokers be her body guards. ]

What do you mea-

[ Did something just grab the surfboard?

She shudders. ]


...I hate underwater torments.
dullshooter: (:think:)

Is that an offer to be bait? ‘Cause it sounds like an offer to be bait.

[He looks over his shoulder.]

Right, Mind?

[personal profile] flatcola 2023-08-25 03:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, yeah, you're light on your feet right? Still bright and youthful and energetic?

[ He was asserting that he's not too old or something the other day.

Kozakura spins her staff around and plants it in the sand. ]


I promise I'm a good shot.
dullshooter: (beyond settled)

[He scoffs.]

Do the fish swim? Is the sky blue? ...Is the sky blue?

[With the Dreamsphere, you have to double check those things.]

Point is, you are looking at the one-time Miami beach DDR competition runner-up. [He interlocks his fingers, stretching his arms out. There's an audible click of his joints.] Let's get it on.

[He turns to face Mind behind him, absolutely devious.]

We're gonna need a backing track.

[ God, he's easy.

Kozakura looks, almost, mildly impressed at Flyhigh's assertion. She's never had the coordination to be any good at DDR, and while a runner-up isn't something to, exactly brag about, isn't a Miami Beach competition a lot of peopwhat did he just ask her? ]


Huh? Me? What? What do you expect from me?!
dullshooter: (love a good quest)

[Misfire's face falls just for a moment; he really wanted to make Mind sing for them. Alas, his glorious plan failed. Only two of them will embarass themselves today.

The speaker, however, is a nifty idea. Seem's Decadence is pretty resourceful. His only contribution is to call out his request:]


Play some Dua Lipa!

[ Wrong Ai. ]

Damn that's convenient...

Flyhigh! You have to think about it too!

[ Otherwise she'll just play stuff that was popular when she was younger! Or a bunch of video game music! ]

[Who the hell is Dua Lipa? - WHO THE HELL IS DUA LIPA?]

Ohhhhh, you're old-old. Gotcha. Don't worry about it, loser.

[He fires off some placating finger guns, and turns his limited attention back to the task at hand.]

Alright, I'm gonna think of a beat and it's gonna just come out of there, right? That's how this works? Then here I go!

[He proceeds to grip his chin deep in thought, focusing all he has on digging out an earworm from his brain. Unfortunately, his memory of beats and lyrics aren't too great, so what's likely to come out is a patchwork guesstimate of a song.]

Hey - [He speaks, at risk of breaking his concentration.] - if we all think of something different, will we end up with a mashup?

[personal profile] flatcola 2023-09-01 04:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Aha, yeah. Old.

[ Dua Lipa is... a singer.

Who is... white?

Kozakura's knowledge of artists younger than herself is somewhat limited, and she's a turbo-nerd who rarely knows what's popular anyways. ]


I'm gonna try to think of - of something. If it mashes up we just need the rhythm to match!

[ Someday has a pretty... fitting... tempo and rhythm? Maybe? God, she just picked through her fleeting memories of what she remembers other people liking that's danceable though... ]
dullshooter: (never heard it)

[personal profile] dullshooter 2023-09-07 12:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[Good God. What a combination.]

Y'know, at this rate, that Torment'll be coming up to tell us to turn this all down.

[But he can work with this!! Misfire's sense of rhythm is about as good as his aim, so is it really necessary that he's provided with something someone'll be able to dance to?]

Whatevs - let's do this!

[And......go he sure does. Can it really be called dancing? It's definitely moving, and music is playing, but that's about it.]
flatcola: (pic#16448587)

[personal profile] flatcola 2023-09-08 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
Work it dude.

[ Sigh. This is pathetic. They're all pathetic - and that's about all they can do to lure it out? ]

I'm ready to fight it at least...
dullshooter: (:think:)

[personal profile] dullshooter 2023-09-15 05:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[Flyhigh stops mid-dance to just...admire the thing.]

A reversemaid.

[No, wait, that sounds lame.]

Maidmer?

[That almost sounds lamer.]

Any ideas?

[He should probably start shooting the thing. And yet.]
flatcola: (pic#16448588)

[personal profile] flatcola 2023-09-16 05:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Perhaps the frantic movements even look like... wounded prey? Torments are strange and inconsistent at times, so perhaps that's the goal. ]

...whatever it is, please just kill it.

[ Kozakura grits her teeth and fires a blast. ]
