[Public] Shoreside Break

[Vlithra Qing Long]

Once everyone had jumped, Vlithra went out of the water for a moment, hearing Asters question. “Well, I would have suggested volleyball, really. Or water polo, that works too. But first...“ she raised a finger and walked over to the ramp Forrest had made. She crouched down and with a semblance enhanced leap she jumped to the top of the wooden ramp.

“First, I wanna see how far I can get… I‘ll be back in but a moment.“ she announced as she pulled a black rubber hair tie from her wrist and bound her hair into a ponytail, gathering her hair and looping that hairtie around so it‘s safely secure. Once done she charged her semblance, her ponytail slightly swishing behind her as if carried by the wind. At this point she was simply showing off.

With a singular bound her green lightning wreathed body shot forward darting into the distant water with a splash. She surfaced to see she got very far, immediately making her way back with examplary swimming form.

[Bastion Sandstone]

And Ela showed him exactly what he had missed. Her huge heavy armored self plunged into the water, spraying up more to create rainbows stretching across everyone's vision, some water still raining down after Ela was laughing, head out of the water! Bastion had taken several steps back from the shore, not letting even his toes touch the surf.

And then Aster used Forrests ramp. And Ethan. And Vlithra(Though he had a girlfriend, Vlithra tying her hair back was still something he could aesthetically appreciate, and praise his friend Forrest for good taste), each making fantastic leaps and splashes and plunging deep.

"Just made a ramp, wanna try it out?" he asked Bastion.

The desert cowboy slowly turned his head, his face one of grief and sickness. "I'm... I'm ok.... without doing that... for now." He said, before inching his way to the surf, rapid and chaotic due to the jumpers.

His toes, he had taken baths before. This was no different from a bath. His legs, oh man this was a lot colder than a bath, but he had relaxed in the cool waters of oasis'. The waist, that most terrible, terrible place when a man is walking into cold water, aaaand... He just sat down. His entrance into the ocean was something that could win in international diving competitions. You know, the ones where they try to splash the least. "I just... need to get used to the water." He explained. "You keep jumping without me. And play your games. I'll just... be right here."

[Ela Motley]

Ela was adrift in the waves, relaxing for a few moments as she listened in on the conversations that happened seeing both Ethan and Vlithra fly overhead, the latter actually making her rear her head out of the water as Vlithra's showboating made her fly far away, but, the tigress was fine and making her way back quickly, she had heard of Vlithra's semblance putting a big strain on her body so she was worried that she would not be able to swim back, but soon Vlithra would rejoin them.

While she waited, she saw Bastion hesitant to enter the water, it reminded her of herself and her dad, the first time the Motley's as a family the two desert born members of the family had a hard time adjusting to the water, Lin, being young as she was, was a quick learner while Ela and her Father struggled, it may be a bit embarrassing for Bastion, given that this was embarrassing for Ela as a teen, but Bastion was an adult already.
Nonetheless, Ela stepped over to him, she would not regale him with her own origin, as she was simply going to focus on her fellow hunter in training, as she sat next to him in the shallow water.
"Bastion, if we are to play our games, we need an even number of players, if you wish I can help you get used to the water and make sure you don't drown, you are light enough for me to carry, but it would be a shame for you to miss the ocean this time of year, it's lovely once you get used to it, believe me, I was in the same spot you were not too long ago."
Ela said, as she offered the cowboy a hand, if he were to take it, Ela would slowly wade into the water with him and swim ahead slowly enough for him to copy her movements.

As for everyone else, while she waited on Bastion, Ela turned to the others, mainly Forest who's semblance would be most useful in this endeavor.
"While I help Bastion, how about everyone else works on making goals for us to play with, I have a volleyball somewhere back at the bench and also someone divide us into teams of 3."
Ela motioned to one of the many packs she brought where toys such a Volleyball were located.

[Forrest Waldstein]

As Forrest enjoyed himself with the others in the water, a ringtone emanated from Forrest's scroll. An older model, but one that still checks out. Hearing this, Forrest got out of the water to answer his scroll.

"Sorry, I gotta take this." Forrest said to the others nearby as he walked some distance away as he talked on the phone. Forrest paced around as he talked before hanging up. Returning to where he left his stuff, Forrest picked it up before turning towards the rest of the group.

"I have to head out now, I'll catch you all later!" Forrest said before leaving.
