Who: The Hungry Hungry Merlinatural Vampire Slaying Hippos
What: Beach anime episode!
When: Days 294 - 296 ( July 12 - 17 )
Where: Salt Side
Rating: PG-13 at most for language, maybe. Only fluff in here.

[ When the visitors disappear in a much cleaner fashion than they came, a mixture of anger. sadness, gratitude and everything in between is left to fill in their place all across the city. It's heavy and stifling; the perfect time to get away for some fresh air.

They leave the morning of Day 294 ( July 12 ), piling everyone onto the train that'll carry them off to Salt Side for a couple days. ( Arthur sticks a little bit closer to Merlin's side; his last train ride is still fresh in his mind. ) The ride there takes half a day undisturbed, and the sun is still lingering in the sky by the time they arrive in the small fishing village. Plenty of time to walk around and shop before storefronts start closing or to catch the sunset on the beach. From here on out, everyone is free to wander as they wish, though don't stray too far, lest the oceans carry you off to the netherworlds.

They'll leave on Day 296 ( July 16 ), after a full day and two nights of relaxation and fun in the sun. The train ride is once again thankfully undisturbed, but the same can't be said for the holy city of Asgard. Something is stirring in the water - but for now, there are only cheerful farewells and blissful ignorance. This trip was theirs and no one else's, a rare and wonderful thing in a troubled land. ]

[ ooc: Who can tell that I write the plot logs? orz This is open mingle to anyone that was invited on the beach trip! You know the drill, open/closed threads with date and location. Lots of stupid fun, guys, let's have it! ]

Good. Because if you're around me in the water you are going to get splashed.

[As the other starts to swim, Finnick disappears under the water again, popping up at his side. Shaking his head like a dog, he grins and looks to Gwaine.]

How fast can you swim?

[verybigpheasants]

[ ...he's friends with a fish man. ]

Fast enough not to sink.

[tradingsecrets]

[A very good looking fish man.]

Good, as long as I don't have to give you CPR, we will be good. Don't drown Gwaine.

[verybigpheasants]

[ True. ]

I've a long history of not drowning, thank you. [ He is completely and totally not actually offended. And actually has no idea what CPR is supposed to mean. Just one of the days in the life of the medieval man. ]

[tradingsecrets]

Good. Let's go...I'll race you! If anything I'll give you a long length before I start.

[He was feeling competitive, so why not? He didn't mind a good swim after all.]

[verybigpheasants]

Why not? Always pays to be up for a challenge. [ Well, sometimes pays. He just thinks that always sounds better. ]

[tradingsecrets]

Good, I'd think something was wrong with you if you weren't up for a challenge.

[He motions for the other to get going.]

[verybigpheasants]

[ Gwaine just tosses a light salute and starts swimming. It's on, broski. ]

[tradingsecrets]

[Finnick quietly waits for the other to get to a point before he dives in and swims to catch up.]

Gotta go faster Gwaine.

[verybigpheasants]

[ If he weren't half in the water, he'd snort at that. ]

You're telling me.

[tradingsecrets]

Yes, I am.

[He taps Gwaine on his shoulder as he swims by obviously meant to tease the other.]

Keep up!
