(Mingle Log) These Embers Can Be Stars
FOOD TO SURF-VIVE ON
After getting some feedback from various people on the beach, the need to do a big cookout becomes apparent between those who either fear the ocean but like seafood or are just completely new to the ocean entirely. And, of course, there's wanting to try the new fish that only exists within this world that piques the curiosity of many. Thus, with some help from Moder, a massive bonfire is set up late one evening and an invitation to join Mizuki on the beach is announced. For those who seem wary about this, what with the cave definitely flooding soon and cutting them off from the cabanas, will be informed that Mizuki has a plan!
...Did you think he'd just tell you what it is? No, no, of course not. You'll just have to come and find out for yourself. Regardless, the get together seems to be for cook-out for everyone. A good handful of people seem to be cooking, either over the bonfire, or over makeshift grills, or maybe even preparing raw foods. Some beach tables had even been stolen to set food along them so they're not just sitting directly in the sand, as well as towels and such laid out for those who might need them.
It's cozy. In a way that maybe has been needed for some time.

AP-PIER-ANCES ARE DECEIVING
A ways back, towards the forest as not to be swept away by the tides, is a little shrine set up. It's made from shells and pretty stones and handful of sand from the bottom of the ocean that shimmers spectacularly, with little sea-themed stickers placed everywhere. There are names written on the shrine of people who didn't make it to the beach with them, and notably people who could potentially be considered to be "lost" to the forest. Around the shrine is a gathering of spiky looking flowers that glow brighter as the last remaining bits of the sun disappear over the horizon, keeping the shrine lit.
There's a small empty jar nearby sitting on top of a small stack of paper, as well as a note left there with instructions on how to fold one to make an origami star. At the bottom, it's signed with a doodle of a sea jelly, and a reminder that when you're making the star to make a wish on it (or even write it on the paper), then leave it in the jar. In the morning, he'll seal the jar up to send out to sea.

WITH A PORPOISE
Around the bonfire, of course, there's going to be entertainment provided. Either by songs from someone's phone, an instrument, someone outright just singing, teaching people how to make s'mores or even spooky stories around the fire, but there'll always be encouraged to have something going on.
And, of course, if you thought you could escape dancing last month, you're wrong. Of course, the looser, more chilled out mood here makes for some less formal and more silly dancing to be encouraged. The Cha-Cha Slide WILL happen and you canNOT escape this.

IT'S OKAY TO BE A LITTLE SHELLFISH
...As for the plan to sleep for the night, well, it's quite simple! You see... you'll all simply sleep on the beach tonight! Wow! What a turn of events. It'll be like one big sleepover! There's going to be various tents set up for those who don't like looking up at the starless empty void that is the sky and just want somewhere a little more confined to sleep, but for those of you who aren't cowards, there's going to be a patchwork mess of towels and blankets and pillows and such for everyone to lie down on. Even Moder can be used as a bed for anyone afraid of Sandy Pants(tm).

[Like almost exactly, but the El is not some sentient thing that can make its own choices like Vash can.]
Then you must be lucky to have Mr. Plant around! He's fun to talk to and he's big and important. Haha, I thought he was a Mr. Plant because he photosynthesized, but I guess not. [why are you like this] So what do you call leafy plants, like flowers and stuff? Do you just call them flowers?

I only just recently saw flowers for the first time. But that's what they're called...or they used t'be called, when they existed on Earth.
[It's as sad as it sounds.]

[Ain can't imagine not seeing just... scenery. Nature. Things around to look at, old scenery from civilizations long gone, pretty new things from people who came in. Stories told in the way the grass bends and songs sung amidst wildflowers.
He flicks his wrist, and blue glyphs float over his shoulder. From one of his hands blooms a flower made of ice, which he hands over to Wolfwood, putting it in his palm.]
It's not a real flower. I can't make those, and that one's gonna melt anyway... but here. Now you can say you've gotten to hold a special flower that doesn't grow anywhere else!

And, for just a moment he actually smiles a little, faintly.]
Heh. This ain't half bad.
