Gotta explain it thoroughly if Poppy's the one asking
After quickly fleeing from...whatever that was with the weird Hellhound(?) and those pesky fallen, Adina found Lee by where she had left her. Relief washed over her as she saw that Lee was still okay, chugging inhuman amounts of beer.
Oh, there you are.
Her voice was muted as she tried not to think about how angry Sera was, how easily that demon died.
Could that...
That wouldn't happen to Lee. She would make sure that it didn't. She had to get her away from prying eyes right now.
I hoped you enjoyed the beach. How about we...go back to my place now? -🐇
@seraphim-adina
[Convinced that Adina had simply decided to go somewhere else to have fun, Lee was overwhelmed by her own thoughts again.]
[What in de fucking world could go wrong dis time? The day was great! Hell, WHAT did I do wrong? I just want to know, so I can improve! Was I too nice and boring? Was I too rude or said something offensive? Maybe both? Must be both! Was I-]
[Lee's antennae perked up as she heard Adina's voice. She immediately pushed away the unfinished glass of beer (it was about the 50th) and stood up, beaming.]
[FUCK IT! She's back! She's still interested!] [And you should appreciate this until she gets enough of it and leaves forever, dumbass.]
Heyyy babe, you're baaack!!
You've been away for- um- quite a long time.. but yo, dat's all gucci! Righty-alrighty!! I was going to leave only after finishing all the beer in this bar.
[She takes Adina's hand and leads her somewhere.]
Well, since you're here, I needa show you something!! Let's go!! -🍬
A: *spotting Emily with the kite kit, she darts down and lands behind the seraph, fluttering long enough to press a kiss to Em's cheek* "Okay, next time, no darting off before we've agreed on a place to meet up, alright babe?"
A: *she holds out a little cup with vanilla ice cream and sprinkles on it* "Here's your ice cream and, if you'll follow me, Shamira and I cooked up a little surprise for ya."
How well do you expect this to go over?
I think it's the thought that counts.
A: *she flies up and leads Em to a little section of beach away from most of the festivities, where she and Shamira had hurriedly carved out a giant heart in the sand with Emily's name written in the center, an A up in one loop of the heart while a S sat in the other, and six little wings surrounding it* "I know it's... kinda messy- wasn't tryin' to keep you waiting too long."
((@askthefivefallen))
*Emily smiles wide at the sand heart in the ground* “You did this for me?”
*She summons her hellphone and snaps a picture before anything can be ruined by wind or waves*
“I love it! Look at the cute little wings! And it’s so symmetrical! I always have trouble getting the two sides to match but you-”
*She turns and looks at them, swapping her ice cream to her other hand so that she can grab onto theirs* “Thank you, I love it. And you two.” *She leans over and presses a kiss to their cheek and lightly bumps their foreheads together*
Chat if i get 1 like i will draw tadc beach ep outfits and maybe some redesigns bc yeah
“HELLO!!!! And welcome to the Golden Shores Beach Day Awards Ceremony! Today we’ve had some AWESOME competitions running throughout the day, some that weren’t even planned, but we were so impressed we just had to shout a couple of you out!” -🐭
“This feels similar to what the kids would call bullying-” -✨
“But in a kind and rewarding way of course because we’re so proud of everyone’s joyous nature today!” -🐭
*Ellen rolled her eyes. Today was a shit show and anyone with eyes could tell that. Someone literally died and the High Seraphim who was supposed to be doing awards was no where to be found. Not to mention that… person Seraphim Adina was running around with for half the day was definitely a sinner. And honestly, there were several other halos that were suspect throughout the day as well! Calling attention to it would have caused a panic though so she let it slide but seriously? Joyous nature Penelope?*
“There were several moments we’ll be highlighting, so keep those clappers warm and ready to get to applauding! Today was a great day!” -🐭
“First we’d like to congratulate all of the sandcastle builders. There were 76 entries this year! Thats the most we’ve ever had compete during this event, and the competition was hot! With over six thousand votes turned in, it’s a surprise we even got the votes all tallied up in time!” -🐲
“Would have been a lot harder if you hadn’t set half of them on fire, but what do I know?” -✨
“Please, when you’ve been called, come to the podium to be recognized and receive your award. So without further ado, third place belongs to… number 34, Dahlia!” -🐲
“Our second place was a tight win, only a little over thirty more votes seperately these two placements! Second place was… number 33, Delia!” -🐥
“Our first place winner was an absolute landslide. This sand castle was entered a bit later in the day but still managed to get quite a lot of attention for their scenes from the skies! This castle was a masterpiece coming from an unsuspected source. With a tallied vote of 1256 votes, the winner of the sandcastle building competition is… number 68, Shamira!” -🐭
*Ellen remembered counting votes and laughing as she sorted through the paper slips. At least a third of them were all in Emily’s flowing cursive. But honestly, she loved Emily and if she was willing to turn in over 300 votes for the guardians castle, she would gladly count them. Even if said guardian would have won without any of them*
(( @exorcist-dahlia @exorcist-delia @askshamass ))
“Okay, so the key to a good sand castle is a good sand to water ratio. If you have too much water, it’s mud, too much sand and it won’t stick. You want it to stand on its own but still be pliable. Like this,” *Emily squeezes a handful of sand and it keeps the shape of the space between her palm* “Once you have that, you can build it up and shave away what you don’t need. If you make a mistake, just add a little more and fix it.”
*She offers the sand castle building kit to Shamira* “Here, now you try!”
Alright, Sugar, here you go. Go ahead and summon your mask; it's your time to shine.
Shamira smiles, snapping her fingers to summon a periwinkle mask into place. It wasn't the same as her face guard, the fabric far more flexible and permitting her to speak, but it brought her a similar level of peace. She then took the kit Emily handed her, tilting her head as she puzzled through the various pieces. Aside from the bucket that carried the kit, there was a small hand shovel and several molds to build the actual castle. "It seems fairly straight forward."
She kneels down and familiarizes herself with the various components before taking the bucket to dig out a small pit, intending to use it to create a pool of water she could easily draw from and using the displaced sand to build her castle. Then, she went to gather water.
You know, now seems like a good enough time to ask- why sandcastle building?
I'm unsure what you mean with that question.
You're pretty invested in doing this and I'm just curious what about sandcastles has your attention. Not like either of us knew surfing was a bad idea until this morning.
Shamira gathers up water in the bucket and ferries it back to her pit, going back for a second trip as most of the water began seeping through the sand at the bottom.
I am intrigued by the concept and I hope to better understand our dynamic by experiencing the process myself.
Our dynamic?
Yes. We're very much like a sandcastle.
Sugar, I'm pretty good at reading you, but ya gotta explain this one.
Shamira continues bringing water, focused solely on creating her pool of water and conversing with Ass in her head.
Sandcastles combine two concepts that should not make sense together. Sand is malleable, always shifting, dynamic; a castle is not. The stone is immutable, worn away only after ages have passed. You are the sand- dynamic, changing, adapting, and yet you remain true. No matter how the ocean beats against you, you are still the same Ass, despite how much you've changed,l just like you may never walk on the exact same sand but the beach endures. I am the castle; I am set in my ways, virtually incapable of changing easily, and I fear I may be worn away entirely one day.
What makes you think you'll be worn away?
A few things. I'm not as strong as you- spiritually. It's as Emily said; you are a wild, blazing flame. I am not.
Just because you're not a flame doesn't mean you can't endure. Look at the Palace; that's a type of castle and it's been around ages.
... I suppose.
And, even if you're always going to be a castle, that doesn't mean you can't change. You were once a castle dedicated to Sera. Now you're dedicated to Emily.
I changed because you showed me how. In that way, we are a sandcastle- two things that, by all rights, should not be even remotely considered relevant to each other. Yet, we are.
Okay. Well. Couple things. First, whatever our 'dynamic' is, I promise it's gonna be stronger and hardier than any fucking sandcastle.
Noted.
Secondly, sandcastles, even well built ones, are still messy and imperfect. So, it's okay if we're a little messy and imperfect, too.
Reasonable.
Finally, trust Em's word. It's about finding the right ratio, the right balance. It might not be intuitive. But, if we keep working at it, we'll figure it out.
I believe that's a sound strategy.
Awesome. Now, you've been fucking silently filling up that hole with water for, like, ten minutes. Em's probably a little worried.
Shamira blinks and looks up, turning her head to meet Emily's gaze while holding up the bucket. "Preparations are almost complete. Then, construction can begin."
((@ask-emily-em-emmy))
Can we get an update on what is happening right now? Time lines shifting, storylines are melting, what is happening right now Mr Vox?
Fuck me, do you have any idea how hard that’s gonna be? Here’s the thing: right now, there’s a bit of funkiness in the timelines due to a momentary distortion. When Retep died and ripped open the NRWE portal, it elongated time waves and blah blah blah, timey whimy shit, let’s talk about recent developments!
The Beach Event- this is the next Joy Event after the Promenade fiasco. Let’s do a quick roll call! Adina, as the host, had to attend. Lee slipped up the Heaven with Vienna and Peyton to enjoy the beach day. Junior, Domino, Tits, and Lefty also made it up there, with a small boost from Emily herself, who was attending with the Ass/Shamira combo. Sadie and Lute attended, and got distracted, but that will come in time. Milan made an unexpected appearance… if you wanna call it that. Uh, Ava and Timp were there, being cute. Fuck, there’s a lot of these little shits. Who am I- oh, fuck, Sera and Ray! They attended, too.
Okay, now, as for what happened there... shit, that's a lot. Lute caught sight of Peyton and had a 'friendly' conversation filled with death threats while Sadie found Milan face down in the sand and gave her a... well... it was a pep talk, but it didn't put much pep into that fanta headed idiot. Can't be too surprised, though. V got to reunite with her little Exorcist friends, Ava and Timpani. They're cute little shits together, can't begrudge them that! Oh, and that piece of shit Adina got to see her fucking Bugaboo again. Ugh, kill me. They were remarkably tolerable, though, with Lee holding Adina's leash and pulling her back whenever that insufferable ego got too big. The Shamira/Ass combo, however, managed to make enemies everywhere they went, it seems. First, Domino decided to hit on Emily, which pissed off the guardian/murder angels, and then they ran into Lee and Adina, at which point we find out that Adina is the reason Emily moved away from the palace, which set Ass/Shamira and Lee as enemies, threatening each other over that. Too much protective top energy in a small space. Oh, and somewhere in all of this, Sera decided to adopt Ray and shun Grace while also using Ray to replace Emily, which sent Emily on a short spiral that she got fucked out of while Shamira and Ass tried playing nice and accomplished fuck all. There's also a beach volleyball game between Lute and Sadie against Lee and Adina going on. So that's... a thing. Apparently, bitches can play nice, when their leash is held tight enough. Kinda ironic that a day meant to chill everyone out ended up introducing SO much more beef for a lot of folks.
Now, the beach event is still technically happening but, again, Retep's shenanifuckery messed with the timelines, so now we have some other shit going on, too. Sarai got charged by Sera after the beach day to become a guardian angel to try and shed her apprentice status, and she got some pointers from Emily on how to deal with mortals in general. She ends up meeting her mortal, Lana, and fucking up MAJORLY but that's because she's the failswan and doomed to forever fuck shit up until she accepts that perfection ain't possible. Whomp whomp.
Oh, uh, and Sadie ended up linking up with Ava at some point, tennis or pickleball? It has rackets and I play golf; anyway, that's when Ava gets clued in that Milan's been acting so fucky because she's been under the spell of Adina's venom and decides to be a good friend about it, so we'll see how this ends up.
Uh... oh! And, keep this hush hush, but, I happen to have the inside scoop about some things. When Lefty and Tits get back from the beach day, they're gonna find out that Righty is missing- and no one knows where she went! She didn't leave much of a note or anything. She even managed to dodge my cameras! They haven't gotten back yet, though, so here we are, waiting for that shoe to drop. Oh, and Ass and Shamira are about to find out the hard way that they've got some very different ideas about how to handle things.
And in between all this mess, Carmilla is harassing Vaggie into being a better mom (haha, she probably doesn't even know Righty's missing yet, man she's not getting any better at this; Charlie really needs to step up to the fucking plate) and adopting every fucking Exorcist she can find while I've been focusing on these new employment practices I got sent by Ozzie. That fucker has an amazing HR department.
The craziest thing about all this? It's not everything. I've missed so much! There's so many of them getting up to so much!
