tvklogs | fun in the sun! open to all!

WHO: Everyone!
WHAT: Beach Party
WHERE: Prospero Beach
WHEN: Saturday, May 19th all day
RATING: Swimsuits, water fights, sun burns, alcohol--oh my! Will... lock if things get out of hand.

ALSO: We're going to try something a little bit different from normal big event logs as far as organization of threads. I've seen this done with success so we'll try it here! This will be an experiment of sorts. Please comment with ONE THREAD (and only one!) per character to be tagged by others. For your header please write your character's name so people will be able to find and tag you with ease! For example, "Yukiho Hagiwara | Open"; you can check out my posts below as an example! There are three listed areas and please try to contain your characters in these three listed areas in this log. The areas include Prospero Beach's swimmable ocean, Prospero Beach's shore, and the boardwalk. Feel free to let creativity roam free! There are lots to do in any of these locations!

Action or Prose style threading is fine here; no pressure! And don't forget to tag yourself in!

[ Wow.

Enjoying that sizzling heat? The dry, slow-rolling heat that just bakes everything? You thought sitting in a desert was hot. No, this seems hotter. The sun was an oppressive slave driver beating down hot UV lashings onto your poor unprotected backs, the air just sucking the moisture out of everything. So then, is it a relief when suddenly the weather turns for the muggiest? The heat still remains, but it's a gross, damp, icky heat you feel to the bone. The air is so humid and hot you could poke a leak into it with a knife. This disgusting weather goes on for days--until finally on Saturday, there's relief! It's still hot, but the humidity and temperature both drop to at least comfortable hot levels. Not to mention it's sunny, pleasantly breezy and not a cloud in the sky.

Time to hit the beach Prospero! ]

PROSPERO BEACH - THE BOARDWALK
Along this quaint boardwalk are a number of food vendors. Come beat the heat with a Popscicle! Grab some funnel cake! Are those hot dogs being grilled over there? Maybe you'd like some fish and chips! Of course food isn't the only thing that's making its way around the boardwalk; there are performers and peddlers out there to earn a buck as well! Watch out--did someone just ride on by on a bike?

PROSPERO BEACH - THE SHORE
It's clean, pristine sand as far as the eye can see! Thanks to the efforts of the sun and the city it's warm and for the most part litter free! Come for a game of beach volleyball! Build some sand castles! Go for a beach jog! Maybe you're turned off from Boardwalk food so you brought your own grill for a picnic! Or lay down, soak up the sun and take a nap!

PROSPERO BEACH - THE OCEAN
The ocean is refreshingly cold but all the inviting, considering how yucky-hot it's been! The swimmable area on the beach is noted by marked buoys to keep aquatic vehicles out and swimmers in. But outside? Anything goes! There's a dude up the beach renting out innertubes, floatation devices, boogie boards--even row boats, canoes, paddle boats! If you have the money you can spring for such frivolous expenses like a jet ski! Or maybe you have a bud who owns a yacht?

[Edgeworth then tries to think of a counterargument to the latter point... to no avail, much to his chagrin.]

N...nngrrrgh...

I doubt your job ever involved convincing the public to go along with an idea of yours before, either.

People won't trust those they don't know.

OBJECTION!

I've made no stranger of myself! Through my mere presence on the network, I've given the impression of being one of the most important people here, without having made any attempt to do so and despite the attempts of another to deliberately undermine my reputation! Frankly, it was as intimidating a revelation as it was reassuring -- more so since Issei's disappearance.

Important doesn't always mean trustworthy. With what you have in mind, you're going to need to make sure people know you well enough to know you're thinking about their best interests and not your own power.

[Edgeworth sighs in frustration.]

I'm used to my actions speaking for themselves. To waste my time on endeavors that are less than genuine is distasteful to contemplate.

You're a public figure Edgeworth, putting appearances when you just want to go home and read is part of the position.

Also, these actions are still speaking for you. A willingness to participate is highly regarded, or at least being able to fake it convincingly.

[You're not helping, Gaignun. Bringing up faking a willingness to participate is just making Edgeworth turn green with disgust.]

I think I'm going to be sick...

I think what he means is you don't have to be eager over it, but being willing to do it anyway still counts for a lot.

[Oh right, no need to take out his own past of being punted into situations like this on Edgeworth.]

Exactly...Sorry, I shouldn't have put it that way.

I see no logical reason why this ought to matter.

People aren't always logical. It's just reassuring to see someone in a position of control as another person like anyone else.

A position of control? Really, if I'm to do my job without conficts of interest, the person in such a position ought to be someone else.

I know you want that, but people are going to see you as being in a position of authority, no matter what you do at this point. Perception, emotion, and logic can work together, but that doesn't always mean that they agree.

Nngh... why did Mr. Ryudo have to vanish? If it's a charismatic figurehead that we need, he's the one suited to the task. For that matter, why are so few people suited to debate here? The three of us seem to be the only men of reason left.

[Yeah, by now Edgeworth's been reduced from arguing to grumbling...]

It would be easier if he were still here or if there were more people here we could talk to about this, but we're not in a position to choose our cirumstances.

I don't wish to surrender to the idea of us being helpless!

Then don't surrender to it! One day at the beech isn't going to set you back to square one once more.

Besides, you might meet someone here that can help you.

Nrrgh...

[Edgeworth may be out of arguments, but he's still much less than happy to be here and it shows.]

Exactly. I didn't have much control over my own situation back home, either. But I didn't give up, I just learned to handle whatever got thrown at me.

...

(Wright, where did you go?)

Even when you are in control, it doesn't always mean you're in command...[This was more said to himself then anything.]

Anyways, we're almost there.

fun in the sun! open to all!
