[open] take me to the beach!
WHO: Lucy/Nyuu, varied
WHAT: Swimming! Fishing! Making little huts! Whatever you'd do at the beach!
WHERE: Okinawa
WHEN: December 2078-January 2079
WARNINGS: none to start with but will update as needed
[ Okinawa's coral reefs are a sight to behold! So she's read, and Lucy's all too eager to use her new Ocean Gem to go and see them. All the benefit of scuba gear but with none of the oxygen dependence. And all she has to do is deal with some irritatingly uncomfortable mermaid transformation? Virtually no down side!
Still, she stares at her gem with some grumbling before pressing it to her chest. ]
I hate this transformation...it's so itchy.
[ If there's one thing Lucy's come to enjoy during her time at Okinawa, it's fishing. Sure, the mutant fish are a bit shocking at first, but they're safe enough to eat and the act of tossing a line out into the water is relaxing in a way the hobbies of the city can't replicate. She has lots of time alone with her thoughts at the pier.
If you happen upon her, she gives a small grunt of acknowledgement and nods her head toward the extra fishing pole nearby. ]
Sit. You look like you could use a distraction.
[ A decent ways away from the shore, Lucy's busily trying to make a simple hut to sleep in when night falls. She keeps pausing to look over her supplies before returning to hammer wood from nearby trees into a hut with a triangular roof frame. It's the best way for rain to just slough off, she's read. Still, it'll take some time to complete when it's just her.
She's sitting on a cushion to overlook her work come noon, and she's grumbling to herself at how slipshod it looks. Nevermind that the roof thatching isn't on and thus it doesn't look right anyway. Still, she wonders if her architectural skills will be enough to make this thing survive a single storm.
Also sorry to anyone beefing with Godzilla right now, but you're just gonna have to deal with the fact that her wannabe shack is within walking distance of his shelter. It's objectively the safest place for her house to be. ]
[ ooc: I made this log for Lucy but anyone is free to use it for Okinawa shenanigans! ]

no subject
You do. Shocked you don't have gray sideburns by now.
no subject
I know, I know. "Take more breaks". I'm trying. Does this count?
[Technically it's work, but it's one chore he looks forward to doing.]
I'm not the only one, though. How've you been?
[Asked with a hint of concern in that flat tone. He knows about Elan, who was supposed to come fishing with him too, but was gone when Raidou went to check on where he was.]
no subject
Hmm... [ She shrugs one shoulder and checks her line again. The float still bobs on the water. No bites. ]
I've been worse.
no subject
[He doesn't want to pry too much, but he's concerned. Raidou casts his line with practiced ease, and adjusts his baseball cap to block the sun.]
But that doesn't sound "good" either.
[His eyes follow his line, waiting hopefully for a bite.]
I'm willing to listen. If you ever need it. I'm told I'm good at that. Better than talking, anyway.
no subject
[ She laughs, but the sound is focused, uneasy. ]
I don't really know how to put those feelings into words, so you might be waiting in silence a while.
no subject
[They could be here awhile, depending on how many bites they get.]
... I've been lucky to have a few here willing to hear me out when needed. Least I can do is offer the same to others in return.
no subject
Maybe she should start with something general. Something vague enough that she can get away with keeping it as far from her details as possible.
It's with another muddled hum that she scratches her cheek and reels her line in a little. Just enough to wriggle the bait at the end of the line. ]
Do you think ghosts are real?
no subject
I know ghosts are real.
[Someday, if he gets his demons back, he'll be glad to introducer her to some.]
Why do you ask?
no subject
Rather than answer his question, though, she takes a drink from the wine bottle next to her, then asks: ]
What would you do if you were haunted by a ghost? Or several?
no subject
Usually there's a reason for it, from the ghost's perspective. I would speak with it, and try to solve its issues. Someone haunted by several isn't unheard of, but it's a little rare. That person might be a summoner or onmyouji in the making without even knowing it.
[A nexus of power that attracts spirits, who try to get the living person's attention.]
I know not everyone can speak with spirits, so your best course of action would be to find someone who can.
no subject
Can you tell if they're around a person? See them, or something?
no subject
[He sighs lightly, which is a big sign of disappointed out of this guy.]
I have yet to run into any I can even sense, let alone talk to. I don't think it's that this world lacks in it. I think I just come from somewhere too different.
no subject
Alright. Play it cool. She just has to make herself sound as flippant as usual and... ]
That's a shame. Here I was hoping we could actually find Sugisawa Village.
well i had to look that one up lol
So you've encountered something here you thought was a ghost?
[Just because he hasn't sensed any, doesn't mean there aren't any.]
... Afraid I'm not familiar with it?
it's some creepy stuff ain't it
Nah.
[ Damn. The fish got away while she wasn't paying attention. The bait's completely gone. ]
Just wondering if all those ghost hunting internet videos were on to something.
