ezra and laika squint their eyes as they adjust to the light of the sun, stepping off the bus and onto the beach

Bug.. appears. She is here now

Sonya hopped off the bus, beaming widely. "Woah! Look at all that sand." A smaller figure followed after Sonya, clutching the oversized hat on their head. "Ugh... Why the beach?..."

they immediately head for the beach front and start setting up a blanket and umbrella, trying to settle down early as they could since they went radio silent, they have become vaguely comfortable enough with themselves to attend this event, but still had major reservations

Bug sets up a blanket, wanting to talk to someone here but, y'know, social anxiety character self insert moment goes BRRrr!!! BRRRrr!!!

[jeremy SPRINTS off the bus, dragging altphonse by the hand behind him and talking a mile a minute.] “—i’ve only ever been to the one down in Mobile, but i can’t remember how it was just that the fishing was great, man you’re gonna love this—“

lumen excitedly hopped out of the bus, various plinks escaping the small employee as they walked along the beach. they suddenly stopped and crouched down, happily playing with the sand, enjoying the feeling of it falling though their fingers.

ezra and laika saw lumen frolic around in the sand and found it highly amusing. They both mistook lumen for a toddler (edited)

Margot flips her oversized shades down as she steps out into the hot sunlight, stretching her arms over her head. Swiveling around with a simper, she nods to Avi.

(HELP I DONT KNOW ANYONE HERE)

"are you coming or not? We have to find a comfortable spot to sit y'know, before lowest tide..."

[jeremy SPRINTS off the bus, dragging altphonse by the hand behind him and talking a mile a minute.] “—i’ve only ever been to the one down in Mobile, but i can’t remember how it was just that the fishing was great, man you’re gonna love this—“

Alt gets dragged off the bus, taking the time they were running to just... look around. The... beach, was what this was? And the ocean, right...? His expression is filled with an almost innocent-looking awe as he continues following Jeremy. It's... gorgeous.

[Florence immediately puts on the shades that rest on top of their head as they step off the bus - holy SHIT it had been a while since they had last seen sunlight. How long had it been...? Like two months or so, now? Time worked weirdly in the office, so they really had no way of knowing for sure. They sure were glad that they figured out some way to leave the office without getting violently ill again! (lol.)] [They're not going to lie, the outfit Sheryl picked out for them (at their request - they'd never been to the beach before as far as they knew, and Sheryl told them that they sure as hell wouldn't want to wear their usual outfit) made them feel... a bit more exposed than they'd like, but hey, at least it was keeping them from dying of heat stroke. Pulling their cover-up together a bit tighter, they take a cautious step into the sand and are kind of weirded out by the way it feels.] [...They're almost trampled to death by the stream of people coming out of the bus when they take too long to move, though. Whoops.]

laika is transfixed on watching lumen be silly and roll around in the sand

15:45

and fails to notice bug

Sonya grabbed a handful of sand, giggling to herself before turning to her companion. "Look at all this golden sand! Have you seen anything so pretty?" Beetle rolled their eyes at the sand, hissing with their tongue out. "Oh yes yes, very much so... I am just not fond of the water." Seems that there is a grumpy child.

louie (203 & 616)

ezra sees bug out of the corner of their eye and waves

Bug scoots over to them hi i don't know anyone here i'm Bug!

lumen sat down, digging their heels into the sand. they begin digging a small hole into the sand, happy noises coming from the lamp as their flame grew much brighter the more they played around in the sand. if they were able to, they would be positively giggling their heart out. they've heard of the beach but they've never been to one, so this was all very new to the small assistant. the sand was so warm and felt nice, they felt like they could play in it all day.

[jeremy whirls around to face alt, grinning at the look on its face.] “well? where to, little bear?” (sorry i started thinking of that one kids show

laika turns their head towards bug L: hey there

15:48

E: hi bug!

Sarah lugged her small beach bag in her arm as she stepped off the bus. Quickly stepping off to the side as she waited for Stacie to depart from the bus as well. The smell of the beach brought back pleasant memories as she turned to face the ocean with a big smile.

(SARAHHH)

15:49

(YEEAAAAAAHH cheers)

The taller of the two then dropped the sand, scooping the small child up. "No need to be so sour, Beetle. I know you don't like water so you don't have to swim." The child huffed, hugging onto Sonya before being carried off to the lower parts of the beach. "Mmm..." (edited)

(Fuck)

Rose gets off the bus, waving to Sarah and Stacie as she goes to sit right next to Bug "Hey!" hi hi!!

Margot flips her oversized shades down as she steps out into the hot sunlight, stretching her arms over her head. Swiveling around with a simper, she nods to Avi.

Avi steps out of the bus, immediately noting the heat of the sun on its skin. It was so used to overcast days, this was a very welcome change of pace. They nod back to Margot.

the two were suprised to see this new person neither had met they both separately decided that they would go somewhere more secluded at the first opportunity

15:52

E: oh… hey there

15:52

E: who are you?

15:53

laika zoned out and avoided eye contact

"Rose Tamaya. Nice you meet you two!"

It doesn't even react to the nickname, too busy just looking around more. There was a gleam in its eyes–a kind of excitement he thought he had lost a long time ago. "Anywhere. You choose, I don't know these places like you do."

they both return a little wave, although Laika’s was less enthusiastic

Rose and Bug go back to their towel a few feet away, talking about nerd stuff like the spider named after space invaders

ezra and laika then had a quick conversation to make sure they were on the same page, and then packed up their stuff and went looking for a more secluded location (edited)

lumen played around some more, failing to notice their legs completely buried in sand. they blinked when they felt sand slightly roll off their leg when they adjusted their position. a small string of plinks, mirroring a laugh, came from the lamp. they dug their legs farther into the sand, grabbing more sand and patting it down onto their legs. they finished, glancing around as they relaxed on the sand. they happily watched the other employees, continuously grabbing sand and letting fall through their fingers as they simply watched and listened.

ah- bye.. "So like after Donkey Kong was released, right,"

Alphonse!

[jeremy just laughs, pulling him farther down the beach to the water.] “check this shit out.” [they head to #the-lower-beach ]

lumen sat for a few minutes, before deciding they should check out the water, as that's where most other people were. they carefully got up, the sand burying their legs giving way. they dusted themself off before heading closer to the shore.

Stacie had gotten off the bus and stepped aside towards Sarah, removing her sunglasses. She noticed Bug approaching them and gave a smile. "Hey." But they were gone. Sarah had lugged the bag again on her arm. "Well, it's a very beautiful beach. Let's go find a spot?"

[Florence stood there for a good while, utterly transfixed with, well... everything. It was almost just like they were back at the retreat again, taking their first steps into the world outside of the office. This was an entirely alien environment to them, though - it wasn't anything like the forest they were in back then. They stared out at the seemingly endless horizon of the ocean... and they smiled. It was nice to escape the office and the endless paperwork again. Really, it was. Maybe they would even end up finding some of their old memories along the way...?] [They were about to head closer to the water to sit down and catch up with everyone else, until they quickly realized they forgot Literally Everything on the bus. Huffing, they turned around and headed back to go grab the stuff from their seat.] (edited)

[Stanley, throughout the bus ride, was...a little nervous, oddly enough. He had this weird little pit in his stomach and he wasn't sure why.] [Regardless, they got to the beach. He waited for pretty much everyone to already be get off- why was he so nervous? He shook his head a little, looking out the window and.. saw everyone already having fun. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad? I mean- he had all of his friends! Whatever this feeling was he was sure he'd get over it. He looks over at File, smiling] "Sorry, I was thinkin about a lot. Come on, lets go!" [He stands up- he was already holding hands with File, of course- and starting to drag him off the bus. His other hand holding onto his hat to make sure it didn't fall off as he began to move more quickly, pretty much jumping down the steps. The closer he got to the beach, the more excited he got!! Oh hey!!] "Hi Flo! Bye flo!" [He says as he runs by, still tugging File along behind him]

1

[Florence watched as Stanley zoomed right past them, not even having enough time to say hello back. So instead, they just turned around and watched him (and File - who he was apparently dragging along) head further down the beach, waving kind of awkwardly with a lopsided smile. He seemed happy. That was good.]

16:29

[Wait a minute. Florence squints at Stanley's back. There's something moving around behind him...] [...is that a tail?]

16:30

[...God, they missed a lot, didn't they. Even with Axel's recap, it was clear they had a few pieces to pick up from when they were absent.]

File, being dragged, did not react in time. There was a loud 'bang' sound. As they passed Florence, its head was still tilted back, and it lets out a low breath. He was quite excited to be at the beach, though! Only Caim had seen the ocean before, and it was frozen over back then, so... It had the same calming atmosphere as the lake did, despite its... much larger scale.

(GAGAHHGDKJDSGHDGJDG MY POOR BOY

DJDLGHISUF)

[Stanley pauses- was that bang? OH NO.] "FILE I am so sorry I keep forgetting how tall you are!!!" [He stops, turning around and looking up at him, letting go of his hand and kinda.. reaching up at him]

File half leans half crouches down. "It's alright." There would be a definite mark if it had normal skin, but, hey. "I'm alright, I promise." He smiles.

[KISS!!! He kisses File's head! And again! kiss kiss..] "Just gotta make sure you're okay" [He can't help but giggle a little]

It loosens, ears fluttering up and down as its face tints a loving amount of white. "Well, I'm doing better now." The smile widens.

[Weighty stomps come from the tops of the beach, leading down to the #the-lower-beach. The paladin is nothing but a blur.]

[He smiles back! Taking hold of his hand again] "Alright, well, is there anything you wanna do first? I..don't think I've ever actually been to a beach before? It looks like there's a lot of stuff to do here" (edited)

abruptly, the bus starts to rattle from the inside. there muffled "thuds" banging on each side of its walls along with audible groans of pain. the rattling stops after a large object is spat out of the bus's doors, and whatever it was got cast about 10 feet from the bus, screaming. it's biz, who after being thrown out of the bus ends up landing flat on his face. paperwork is fluttering down from where he just landed. weakly, he pulls his face off the ground. only now noticing a stickynote that stuck in the middle of his face, covering his glasses. he takes the note off to read it. --------------------------------------- Have fun out there! Maybe try to de-stress a bit you know it's not good for your health :-) ---------------------------------------- ... damn you carny. (edited)

YIPPEE)

it takes a second for biz to get his head straight. honestly, he had no idea where the hell he was. why is the ground... grainy? it was so hot out it felt like he was stuck in an oven. and what was with this outfit?? this was probably carny's doing too... he felt stranded. he had no clue where he was or how far he was from the office. it just remembers doing its paperwork until ending up, here. shit... well now what...?

[He smiles back! Taking hold of his hand again] "Alright, well, is there anything you wanna do first? I..don't think I've ever actually been to a beach before? It looks like there's a lot of stuff to do here" (edited)

File looks around at everything available. Hmm. Bad day for indecisive people(him). "Neither have I..." Looking at the boardwalk, filled with shops and people... it gets a bit nervous. Perhaps that could happen later? When there weren't as many eyes that could be on him... "I don't really know much of what's around here, or... the customs, I suppose." Caim had told File recently of how many people tried to cross the ocean, with it constantly being frozen over. Perhaps they had simply vanished into the thick mist, it suspected. Or perhaps the ice broke beneath their feet, and the frigid ocean once more fed. The story was a mood-killer, but an interesting one at least. (edited)

"Yeah, we can always go to the boardwalk later on in the night." [He realized that, again, File did not Say His Fear Out Loud. He's got to stop doing that] "Uh, well, we can always just go closer to the beach itself?" [He pulls his bag that was hung around his arm, a little closer to his front] "I got a towel we can sit on! We can relax for a little while, let everyone calm down a bit so it isn't too overwhelming..?" [He's..still a little nervous to get into the water, he's kind of just making excuses at this point]

File nods, smile ever so slightly unsure. "You could tell, huh?" His expression actually warmed a bit from it. It... didn't know how the water would mix with his shadows or his light... "And, I think I would enjoy that." (edited)

[He gives a little nod, once again pulling File along as he travels closer to the water! To #the-lower-beach!]

[Jan blearily pops his head out of the bus. ] Bwuh. What the hell. [Last thing he'd remembered, he was on his way to the cafeteria. And then... he was waking up in the parked company bus, and there was a whole beach outside. ] [He let out a frustrated sigh while rubbing the sleep from his eyes. ] It's fine. Just roll with it. Whatever. [He pops back in the bus for a second before reappearing, a ratty backpack covered in pins and patches slung over his shoulder, and he hops down. ]

(just another normal day in the office ! <3)

( incredibly normal office full of incredibly normal employees

(heart

The warmth of the sun tickled along Sarah's skin as she leaned down to adjust her sandals for a moment. Opting out of her usual office outfit, she currently was wearing a patterned summer dress with her bathing suit underneath it. An oversized hat that looked a bit ridiculous on her. Swinging her black tote to rest onto her other arm as she bent over again to adjust her other foot. "Are you ready?" Sarah asked, looking over at Stacie. The other lady pulled her attention off the scenery, turning to look at Sarah. "Huh? Oh. Yeah." Stacie nodded, turning back to look at the ocean. "Letsa go!" Stacie began to bolt for the lower beach leaving Sarah behind. [Stacie > #the-lower-beach ] Sarah was just about to start making her way after her friend but heard a voice from the bus. Turning to look at Jan. "You good?" She asked, offering a small smile. "Not a fan of the beach?"

[He looked towards Sarah, seemingly startled] Oh-- Nah I love the beach, I just. Have no idea what I'm doing here. [He started to fidget with the strap of his backpack, hoping there would be some sunglasses in there to hide behind. ]

Scraps poked his head out from under the bus seat, cautiously looking from left to right. When he was sure the bus was completely empty, they crawled out from under the seat and stood, smoothing their Hawaiian shirt and pulling out a blue child's bag. Before going out, Scraps scrambled up on top of the seat and peeked out the bus window, then poked its head out from behind the seat. All clear... Scraps scrambled back down and began making his way out of the bus. When Scraps first hopped onto the bus, he didn't realize there would be so many employees on it! Apparently beaches were popular, which wasn't good for him and his social anxiety. He practically froze in place when he saw all the people sitting down on the chairs, but he couldn't go back with everyone else waiting behind him, so he just... walked all the way to the back of the bus and dived under one of the seats, staying there for the rest of the ride. Scraps looked down once he reached the edge of the door, it seemed kind of high for him, but he took a step forward anyways, hoping it would be fine. It was not fine. Blue took one step forward and realized too late that the step really was too high for blue. He flailed around at first, trying to get a grip on something before he fell, but ultimately failed and fell face first into the sand with a squeak, followed by a muffled groan. (edited)

"Oh sorry, I didn't mean to startle you. And you don't know why you're here? I swore I read an email or something about..." She gestured vaguely at the ocean. "This." She shrugged lightly, "I ain't complaining though. I'll take this over staring at a computer screen any day." Sarah paused before looking at him. "I'm Sarah by the way. Um, Employee 403." Now it was her turn to be startled when someone fell out of the bus, nearly screaming but caught herself. "Are you okay?" She asked with concerned, kneeling down and offering to help.

[A nervous giggle escapes Jan's lips.] Er. Must've missed it, I guess? Um. Anyway, nice to meet ya Sarah. My name's Jan, employee 618. [And he just shoots them a weak little thumbs up. ] [Suddenly there's a squeak behind him-] Ah-- [Jan spins around, only to be faced with the sight of a blue creature having a very close meeting with the sand] Oh! Shit, are you good?

Scraps' head shot up upon hearing another person's voice—"WEH?!" He looked left to right instinctively before his eyes settled on the two legs in front of him. He slowly and hesitantly looking up at the two people who saw him. Just as he feared... Social interaction. "Scr—" it coughed, a cloud of sand shooting out where its mouth would be, followed by a stream of sand falling from blue's eyes. Scraps looked at it all for a second, like it had personally wronged him. He looked down with embarrassment, hesitantly taking the new person's hand (well, he could only really grab two fingers) before finishing his sentence, "Scraps 's okey..." He avoided eye-contact as he stood up, fiddling with his hands. (edited)

"It's nice to meet you, Jan." She looked up from Scraps for a moment towards him, before turning back to look at Scraps. Gently helping him to his feet, she tilted her head slightly inspecting Scraps before smiling. "That's a relief to hear. I don't think we've met before, have we?"

[With the confirmation that this Scraps is alright, Jan slowly inches away from the social interaction...] [After sneaking away in the least suspicious way possible, he sits down in the sand and finally opens his backpack.] Sure hope there's useful stuff in there, unlike last time... [Reaching inside, he pulls out swimwear, a bottle of sunscreen -- actually, on second glance it's been expired for 2 years... A glasses case with a post-it note with 'SUNGLASSES' and a winky face written on it in chicken scratch, a quarter-full bottle of water, and a box of... double coat Tim Tams?? There's another post-it note in the bottom of the bag too, with 'VACATION (PAID !!)' in the same handwriting on it.] Aah. Vacation, I can do that. Neat ! [He slides the newly discovered sungalsses on his face, shoves everything else back in his bag and stands back up, wiping the sand off of him, and trudges away in search of a place where he can get changed...]

Alt appears abruptly on the bus, the portal spitting him out at the back. Running its hands over the seats as he looks for the one he and Jeremy had occupied, it looks around the bus for a moment. Another thing they did not know, was this large contraption. It rumbled like a beast when it moved, yet was a machine... They needed to get their hands on one at some point, to take it apart and see how it worked. Still, they grab Jeremy's bag, thinking, and reenter the portal.

Sara | Sarah#403 | Stacie -MCF-

"It's nice to meet you, Jan." She looked up from Scraps for a moment towards him, before turning back to look at Scraps. Gently helping him to his feet, she tilted her head slightly inspecting Scraps before smiling. "That's a relief to hear. I don't think we've met before, have we?"

"Uh-uh." Scraps shook his head, looking down at his feet. He moved to grabbing at the shoulder straps of his backpack, slightly digging his feet into the sand. He wished for the earth to swallow him whole right then and there.
