"The sands! The sky! The bare skin on today's youth! All of these and more on Stigma's very own Calyx Beach! This secluded area designed specifically for the highest priority visitors to the fair capital is barricaded in by several natural cliffs. Glittering in the water, one could clearly see the many pieces of water magicite, as well as the much bigger, clearer water crystals that often wash up on the shore. As such, any and all magicks are strictly prohibited ten feet from the waterline. Of course who needs magic when you have the beach?!"

Lorenzo's sales pitch seemed to have sold the group, and while Emiri was still unsure about the situation, she ended up getting pushed into a changing room along with Nadeline and Savayna. The three girls were the only ones in said changing room, though Nadeline and Emiri were checking the rack of many swimsuits available for rent. They had various types and colors that spanned the entire spectrum, though maybe it was because of having so many choices, the girls found themselves at a loss. String bikinis, tankinis, one pieces, two pieces--Emiri wondered why there were so many types. She personally just did not know which one to pick, though every time she thought she found one that was decent, Nadeline would complain that it was too modest.

Fearing that Savayna would lost her patience, Emiri tried to sort through them quickly. Nadeline had (finally) chosen and was peeling off her clothes, folding them neatly and placing them into her rented locker. The blonde slipped on her swimsuit, and once she was done, she twirled around, obviously very pleased with her selection. She looked at Savayna and then at Emiri, and let out a wistful sigh. "I see who's got it going on." She grumbled, patting her smaller chest. Emiri couldn't help but agree. The white bikini Savayna wore made her already pale skin look so feminine, her platinum blonde hair tousled gorgeously. If she didn't know any better, she would have guessed she was a model. Nadeline paid more attention to her curves, underneath all that armor the woman was packing a killer body. "Emi, why don't you just pick out a bikini, too? We could all match!" She told her, happily wrapping her arms around her waist.

"What?! No, no, I...I don't really have the body for that." Emiri immediately shot down the idea as she continued searching through the rack.

"Hmmm? Whaaaaat?" Nadeline sang, grabbing her breasts. The brunette let out a shriek of surprise as the blonde fondled her. "Hmmm, your chest says otherwise..." She cheerfully informed her. "I mean the worst that could happen are these puppies popping out, though I think you'd be doing the male population a favor..."

"N-Naddie! Please! Stop!"

Nadeline released her breasts, though she grabbed her waist and tackled her down, pinning her to the ground. Emiri let out a wail, though to her horror, Nadeline sat on her stomach. She began stripping her, despite the brunette's protests. They created quite a ruckus though the only person there to witness was Savayna (and Nadeline could care less about her opinion on the stripping anyway). Within minutes Nadeline climbed off of Emiri and stood up, though she pulled the now bikini-clad brunette into a standing position. She felt so violated and exposed. Nadeline pulled Emiri's hair into two low ponytails, and put her own in one higher one. "Mother and Father already have a spot under an umbrella, so let's get going!" Nadeline cheered, taking Emiri's wrist and dragging her out, despite her protests.

Meanwhile Grant sat under the giant beach umbrella, safe from the sun's rays. Calyx Beach had some people here and there, though they managed to get a good spot. He let out a huff, pulling his sweatshirt over his shoulders, his black swimsuit secure on him. He watched as Lorenzo set up a beach chair all too enthusiastically for Karolina, who was clad in her own open hoodie, though she wore a very simple, short blue dress underneath. She thanked him as she sat down, opening the cooler to get a water bottle. Lorenzo himself bore all, tanned skin against some orange swim trunks. He pulled out some sunscreen, offering it to his younger brother.

"The sun isn't strong today, but you never know." Lorenzo told Grant as he started rubbing some on his much paler skin.

The plan was pretty much set in motion, all there was left was to get everyone to the beach. It wouldn’t be long. Actually, only about an hour at the most was how long it took to get to the beach. Of course, Lady Karolina had to get admitted out of the hospital, but everything after that was smooth sailing. Once they got to the beach, the first thing they all would notice was the way the sunlight from above was reflected off of the clarity of the water. Lorenzo wasn’t lying when he said that the waters of Stigma are much more clearer than those of the Phon Coast. It was actually a surprise when Jaakuna was informed that they were doing this, but he was all for it one-hundred percent.

When they got used to the sunlight, everyone would change into their respective swimsuits. Savayna had herself a nice pretty whitish-blue two-piece, while the boys would just go easy wear. Jaakuna would just wear a pair of white and red shorts. His hair was out, and he wore no top, so everybody would see all of his tattoos. Wesley had a very bold purple pair of swim trunks with a black string.

When the boys were already out, the ladies would thusly follow and when Wesley and Jaakuna looked at their ladies, they said, eyes wisdened and jaws dropped. “ Daaaayyum! ” Thankfully, their jaws went up so that they could go to their respective lady.

Jaakuna would go to Emiri as she looked simply marvelous in her bathing suit. He would wrap his arm around her as they would go join Grant, Lorenzo, and Karolina under the big umbrella. Wesley would also do the same with Nadeline, though they merely would hold hands. Savayna felt left out. She didn’t have a man. “Time to have some fun.” She smirked devilishly.

As they were all under the umbrella, Savayna would make her way over, and on purpose of course, she would trip herself, "Oop!" She said as her body would fall right on Grant, tits fully wedged into his face.Jaakuna looked over and just laughed loud. Wesley let out a chuckle.

Emiri wished she could have run back to the changing rooms and gotten something more modest, but Nadeline had a vice-like grip on her wrist. Said blonde was obviously very proud at the boys' reactions, and she only released the brunette to hold Wesley's hand. She winked at Emiri and plopped down onto the blanket next to Wesley, making sure to snuggle in close. Boy, that girl worked fast, she was already batting her eyelashes at the prince. As she sat down next to Jaakuna she caught Karolina's smile, and only blushed harder. Grant watched Savayna join the group, about to compliment her swimsuit, but noticed she stripped on the blanket. Everything that happened next seemed to happen in slow motion, as he didn't realize she was going to fall on top of him. He made as if to catch her, but she ended up knocking him down onto his back. Something very soft was squishing his face and partially suffocating him, though when he tried to lift her off, he felt said softness in his hands. As he lightly pushed, he realized much to his horror (and probably everyone else's delight) he realized he had both of her breasts in his hands.

"Now, now, Grant, that isn't something you should do to a lady. Not in public, anyway." Karolina called out to him, lightly fanning herself with a paper fan.

The raven haired man immediately scrambled backwards, his chest heaving in and out for air as his face turned redder than Jaakuna's shorts. Emiri bit her lip, clearly amused at the flustered Grant, though Nadeline and Lorenzo were howling with laughter. "My...my apologies..." Grant muttered, trying to regain his composure, though he was clearly not as amused as his brother was. He didn't quite appreciate Karolina's comment, either.

"Alright, alright, hold your hormones, folks, because we're going to get the fun started!" Lorenzo exclaimed loudly, bringing out a volleyball. "I hope you all can keep up with me and Karolina, because it's time to smack this ball between ourselves and get the blood pumping! Nothing beats a game of good old beach volleyball!"

Karolina nodded to Nadeline, who excused herself, and the two ladies set up the makeshift court as Lorenzo poked Wesley. "Boy, you and I will be team captains. Choose your men (and women) wisely! I'll let you pick first, since I'm such a good man."

As Nadeline, WEsley, Jaakuna, and Emiri all went to sit on the blanket, Savayna would come in and make things a lot more lively.It was both histarical and quite sad when Savayna's body tripped over the blanket and landed itself right on Grant and her breasts pretty much suffocating him. However, what would make the entire situation just making everyone laugh their fucking asses off was Grant's attempt to get her off of him(and to get breathing room) was when he took both of his hands and gripped both of Savayna's titties. At this point, even Wesley was laughing so hard that he joined Jaakuna in rolling around the blanket.

Once Grant was able to at least get Savayna off of him, everyone now started poking the fun at him. Well, at least that's what Jaakuna started to do. It was much to Grant's displeasure, however. It would be a few minutes later that Lorenzo would bring up his idea of an activity for the lot of them to do. His suggestion was Beach Vollyball. Jaakuna was so in. Lorenzo would then turn to Wesley and name the two of them as team captains and he would even let Wesley take the first pick. Wesley smiled.

Looking among of who he could pick, Wesley spoke. "Hmm, my first pick is only cause I've seen the fiery spirit of her and plus, someone here would kill me if I didn't pick this person." Wesley said, "So, c'mon down, Nadeline." He said, motioning her to his side. "Your turn, Lorenzo!"

Nadeline perked up at the sound of her name, and once she and Karolina were finished, she resumed her position next to Wesley. She grinned at him, nudging him lightly. "I promise I'm actually decent at this. Our team will win for sure!" She cheered, her father's infectious energy finally affecting her.

"Mhm, mhm, mhm, alright. In that case!" Lorenzo nodded in approval, though he was as energetic as ever. "I will take your lead boy! Karolina, we march off to battle! Join me, and we will show these youngsters the power of true love! I can't do this without you!"

"Of course dear!" His wife waved at him from her chair, though she slipped off her hoodie.

"Is that a good idea, Mother? You know how competitve Father tends to get." Nadeline asked her curiously, slightly concerned.

"Not to worry sweetheart, I won't move too much, and if it's too much I'll just sit out."

"AHA! Trying to take out one of my top players already?! Sweetheart, just because we're family doesn't mean I will take it easy on you!" Lorenzo shouted, jumping up and pointing to Wesley. "Make your next choice! Sun time is ticking!"

When Wesley made his choice, Lorenzo would follow his lead actually and also choose his love, Karolina. It would also lead to them going back and forth in how they will show the young ones the power of their love. WEsley smirked. "If you say old man.' Wesley chuckled. Though, now he turned his attention to the group and now he had to pick wisely. He definitely had to make sure his next choice would be good. "Hmm, who to pick next?" He eyed Grant and Jaakuna. On one hand, Grant has proved to Wesley that he can be serious and focused. However, on the other hand, Jaakuna is very energetic. "Oh why not?" Wesley said shrugging. "Jaakuna, get your skinny ass over here." Wesley said, choosing Jaakuna.

"WOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" Jaakuna yelled at the top of his lungs. He was so loud that no doubt it would hurt the ears of Savayna, Grant, and Emiri.

"OH SHUT UP! YOU'RE SO LOUD, GEEZ!" Savayna roared out.

"You jealous?" Jaakuna teasingly said. Savayna said nothing.

Jaakuna joined WEsley and Nadeline and proceeded to high-five them both. 'We're totally going to kick the old-geezer's asses!!" JAakuna was so pumped.

Lorenzo let out a hearty laugh, though he pounded his chest. "Ho, ho, ho! Relying on the strength of friendship, are we? Very good, very good, I am at a slight disadvantage in that stake...HOWEVER!" Lorenzo sat down next to his wife, cross legged and with crossed arms. "The bonds of friendship are strong, so much in fact that many say they are tied when it comes to the power of love. Yet one more power lies beneath the sand behind us, one that tends to get forgotten or left behind as friendship and love tend to overshadow it. BUT NOT I!" He then pointed at Grant. "The power of brotherhood, a power that is born between brothers is not one to be underestimated! Grant! I choose you!"

Grant had half a mind to tell Lorenzo to fuck off, but he still wanted to play. He remained exactly where he was, though he did nod at him. "Uh huh."

When Lorenzo went on about how while the bond of friendship is indeed strong, the bond between brothers was stronger. Jaakuna laughed a bit at that, mainly cause his own brothers couldn’t care less about him. Then again, Jaakuna really didn’t know how Roman felt about him. Whatever, he had to just focus on having fun. Wesley looked to Jaakuna and then to Lorenzo and then to Grant who was the least excited about all of this. He nervously laughed at Grant for that.

As Wesley would just try to gat himself to a place that didn’t include laughter, he spoke. “Okay, next up.” Wesley eyed Savayna and Emiri. “Savyana, come to us--” Wesley was interrupted. “WE HAVE DICKS AND VAGINAS!”Jaakuna blurted out. He didn’t know what came over him. “Dumbass!” Wesley said as he socked Jaakuna in the head. “But yes, please hurry.” Wesley said.

Savayna just huffed, but she walked over. She then looked to Grant. “You better watch out, Pussy-Pervert-Grant. I’m comin’ for you.” She eyed him, taking her middle and index finger and pointed them to her eyes then to his, then back to hers, and then back to his, and once more to hers.

Great, now he was a pervert, too. Grant huffed at Savayna, crossing his arms. Lorenzo hopped over to where Emiri was, and pulled her to him. "HAHAHA! Rozarrians versus the Outsiders?! I LIKE IT!" He yelled as he shook the brunette's shoulders. "Darling! Brother! And Emelia who likes to be called by another name now! Forward, to victory!"

Emiri laughed nervously as Lorenzo basically dragged her to the court, with Grant and Karolina following in their stead. Nadeline jumped out of her seat, punching the air and cheering madly as she went to her side of the court. It seemed the Lorenzo Fever was spreading, and Emiri only hoped she wouldn't catch it next. The four of them huddled together, mainly because Lorenzo wanted to. She felt so out of place with all of them, though she couldn't say she would have felt right at home with the now over enthusiastic Jaakuna and Nadeline, either. Lorenzo looked at each member on his team, putting on a serious face, though Emiri was more then sure the game was...a game to him.

"Alright, they have a pretty good team over there." Lorenzo said, looking at Grant and Emelia. "They may have agility over us; Karolina isn't going to be moving around too well (Not that we blame you darling!) and I'm sure Grant will be too busy fending off Glacie's attacks." Grant huffed again in annoyance. "That leave me and Elizabeth to make it up. What we lack in agility we make up for in passion, strength, and experience."

Did he just call her Elizabeth? Before Emiri could ask, Lorenzo dispelled the group, and they went to their positions. Emiri was front left, Grant front right, Lorenzo back left, and Karolina back right. Lorenzo tossed the ball over to the other side. "Visitor always goes first!"

And with that, they were off to the courts. Though, Wesley did smirk at what tagline that Lorenzo gave this match. In any case, Wesley and his team would huddle up as if they were doing football or something like that. “Okay, so here’s the plan.” Wesley began to speak. “I don’t know how good Lorenzo is, but it’s a safe assumption that his energetic nature is probably going to be a key factor in this, so Jaakuna you got him. You good with that?” Jaakuna nodded, “Okay, now for Grant, Savayna you seem to want him, is that correct?” Savayna looked at him like he was stupid. “Okay, I’ll take that as a yes.” He said chuckling. “As for you Nadeline…Watch Karolina.” Wesley didn’t want to hurt her feelings, but he didn’t know if she truly was good at this sport.

“Okay, team--” Wesley was once again cut off. “LET’S DO IT!” Jaakuna shouted fistpumping the air and they each took their positions. Wesley was in the center, Nadeline was in the back, Jaakuna and Savayna respectively were on the right and left. “SERVE!” Wesley said as he would jump into the air, throw the ball upwards, and backflipkick it over the net.

It seemed the other time decided to take the game just as seriously as Lorenzo was. Even Wesley was getting in on it. Emiri giggled slightly, though she caught Grant looking at her. "I think you and I are the only sane ones left." He told her, clearly exasperated. "Lorenzo gets much too competitive sometimes, I swear." Despite complaining of Lorenzo, she could tell he was taking the game seriously as well. He rolled up his sleeves and braced himself for the ball. Emiri would mimic him, as she didn't want the to drag the team down. She watched as Wesley backflipped, admitting herself silently impressed. It looked like he knew how to play. She found herself glad; it would give her some good competition.

"I got it!" Karolina called out as the ball soared over to their side, taking just a few steps back. She put her arms together, bumping the ball up. Grant eyed the ball carefully, and once it was in range, he set it up. Emiri ran over to it, leaping up into the air. She smacked the ball over, landing on her feet and running to the net.

When he sent the ball up into the air and over the net, Wesley landed on one foot, and swerved his body to face the net. As he would, however, the ball would be bounced back by the combined efforts of Karolina, Gran, and Emiri. It would come over and be sent back over, but this time it was heading to Savayna’s area. She would place her arms together, and bounce the ball off of her forearms. However, it would be sent backwards and not forward. However, as it was in the air, in came Nadeline as she jumped off of Wesley’s back(much to his surprise, mind you), and she would kick the ball like it was a football or something. It would go high up and fast over the net. Nadeline would land in front of Wesley and he had a very surprised look on his face. He gave her that ‘where did that come from?’ look.

Lorenzo let out a low whistle, cracking his neck as he watched the opposing team. His daughter did him proud, it looked like she refused to be the weak point. "INITIATE MANEUVER FLYING SUNSET CROW!" Lorenzo shouted, pointing to the ball came over the net.

Grant rolled his eyes. His brother was taking this much too seriously and they just barely started. "Yes dear!" Karolina sang as she walked forward, bumping the ball to Emiri. The raven haired man groaned, obviously knowing what was coming next. He knelt down, facing the middle of the court as Emiri set the ball high in the air. Lorenzo ran forward, using Grant as a stepping stone to leap up high in the air. Emiri watched curiously, seeing Lorenzo spin around as the ball descended. As both the ball and the blonde came down, a powerful aura erupted from Lorenzo. "TAKE THIS!" He yelled, kicking the ball. At first, it was as if time paused for just a moment as his foot made contact with the ball, and the next thing she knew it zoomed right off, as if it had been shot forward. It landed right smack dab in the middle of the court, having landed so hard it had created a crater.

"What kinda bull was that?!" Nadeline yelled angrily, clearly not amused by Lorenzo's 'attack'.

"We're in it to win it~" Karolina told her cheerfully. "Your serve."

The response that Lorenzo and his team did was…well it was normal, that’s for damn sure. Like seriously, it had some type of magic induced into it. Nadeline was right in saying what she did. Wesley and his team were under the impression that this would be a non-magic game. As it turned out, however, it would not be. Wesley, Jaakuna, anad Savayna were fine with that. They would just have to step their game up a notch, which is something they have no problem doing.

“Time out!” Wesley said as he formed a T with his arms. He would then gather his team in a huddle. “Okay, so it seems that we’re going to have to take a different approach.” Wesley said almost sighing. “Jaakuna, Savayna — I give you two free reign to use any means necessary.” Wesley said. The two of them would give Wesley a nod. “Nadeline, I need you on support duty. Gonna need some of that handy-dandy green magic..” Wesley would say to Nadeline as the group would break off.

As they all took their positions, Wesley had the ball in hand. He concentrated magic into it and it started to glow an ethereal white. Wesley would then command magick once more and project himself fifty feet into the air. He would toss the ball up into the air and downward spike it to the ground below. It was on like Donkey Kong.

"Dear gods Lorenzo, what have you started?"

Emiri found herself very much agreeing with Grant as the group had decided to huddle...which they only did because Wesley was doing ti so Lorenzo wanted to do it, too. She was expecting a regular game of volleyball, now with everyone riled up it would turn out to be a magical palooza. Grant was clearly displeased in all of this, well more so than usual, anyway. Lorenzo shook off his concerns, and once the other team was ready the group returned to their positions. As Wesley served, Emiri watched him, somewhat dreading his attack. Still, she braced herself, and as the ethereal holy volleyball came down, she watched it carefully. She didn't like the look of it, but it was in her area.

The brunette stepped forward, arms up and she set the ball. As her fingertips brushed it, she felt a sort of push from the ball, and since she wasn't expecting it, she felt herself get knocked back and found herself on her back, watching the ball in the air. Lorenzo let out a hearty laugh, pointing at Wesley. "Ha-ha! NOW the game begins!" He called, jumping up and spiking it. Unlike Emiri, he was simply pushed back. Grant appeared in her sight, and as she took his hand he lifted her up. She nodded in thanks and returned to her position as the ball soared over the net.

When Wesley had launched the ball downward fifty feet up, and covering in an ethereal white glow, the ball would go down, and come to Emiri. The force of the ball would force her back on her back. Grant would help her up and then the ball would go to Lorenzo and he would shoot it up. A moment before that, Wesley landed on his feet light as a feather. Lorenzo would then spike the ball. Jaakuna and Savayna had this one. Savayna would ride up on Ice and plop the ball up, and by gliding up with his Fire Foot Thrusters, he plopped the ball more into the air and that’s when Wesley would use the same technique as he used before to kick the ball and kick and kick it in the air. Each kick would make the ball go harder and then Wesley would spin his body(he’s currently ten feet above the net), and forearm, overhead punch the ball downward, and aiming it straight to Grant.

"Oh shi--" Grant's curse was cut short as the ball smacked him right in the face. Emiri let out a gasp as he fell back rather comically, his legs in the air before he finally collided with the ground. She ran to him, ignoring the oher team's cheers and jeers as she knelt down. "Oh my, I thought you would have gotten that." Karolina said curiously as she joined Emiri. Lorenzo chased the ball that had bounced a distance away. Emiri and Karolina both extended their hands, and together would lift Grant up. The raven haired man blew his hair off his face, taking the moment to shake the sand out of his hair. He huffed, clearly annoyed. Once Lorenzo came back, he slapped Grant's shoulder, grinning.

"Okay! This will be the last point!" Lorenzo announced, spinning the ball on his finger.

"WHAT?!" Nadeline yelled from the other side.

"The winner of this shall be King of the Beach!"

"What." Grant stated, clearly confused by his brother.

"Here we go!" Lorenzo served the ball, pimp slapping it to the other side.

When Wesley impressively served the ball, he didn’t expect it to hit Grant so hard in the face, but he wasn’t exactly angry. They did get the point, after all. Though, Wesley felt bad about Grant’s face. However, the two people that didn’t were Savayna and Jaakuna as they high-fived each other. “YEAH! TAKE THAT PUSSY PANTS!” Savayna shouted. Jaakuna cheered and woo-hooed as loud as he could. However, Lorenzo would announce that the next point would be the deciding point,

Everyone took their positions as Lorenzo served the ball and gave it some open-palm love and it went over the net. Jaakuna would respond by bouncing the ball off of his arms, sending it to Savayna, and she would do the same and Wesley would plop the ball upwards, and Nadeline would come with an overhead open-palm smack, and it went fast straight for Lorenzo.

Lorenzo cracked his knuckles, completely ready. As she ball came to him, he took a step back, sending it high in the air. Karolina walked over to him, and he put his hands together, bringing them on top of his knees. She daintily put one hand on his shoulder, putting one foot on his hands as she watched the ball. "Here it comes, dear." She told him, and on the count of three, he launched her into the air. Grant watched as Karolina flew, catching up to the ball. As she readied her hand, a glyph appeared before her, one that mirrored Nadeline's usual white magic glyphs. Emiri watched in awe as Karolina hit the ball, sending what could only be described as a mini holy meteor down at the opposing team.

“Well this is interesting.” Wesley said.

The Outsiders would watch as the response to their simple serve was met with a rather elegant one. Karolina had appeared up top of Lorenzo to which she had the ball in hand and she used a very similar style of magick that Nadeline had used. Wesley only put it together as Karolina was her mother, so it’s only natural that she had the same type of magick or at least similar to Nadelines. Anyways, the ball was now surrounded in the spell of Holy and it was shot forth to The Outsider’s side of the court.

As they readied, Nadeline would try to get it in their control, but she was pushed back. Then, as the ball itself would rebound off of Nadeline, Wesley would try and while he was able to get it slightly in his control, the force was almost too much and he barely got it to Jaakuna, who then used his magick to slightly alter the friction. Sad to say, that was not successful, and now it came to Savayna and after witnessing her teammates fail, she decided to up her game a notch. On accident, she gathered too much of her Ice Magick and an ice blade formed around her hand to which she meant to be a hammer of sorts. As she would go for it, the sword hand sliced the ball in half.

Silence took the court for a brief moment.

The cheers were coming from the side of The Rozarrian and The Outsiders all looked to Savayna with evil glares. She looked back at them, now in fear. “Look…guys…we can talk this out right?” She asked backing away slowly and thus began a group thrashing. The group would let out their frustration out on Savayna and they would let her know it. One pulled her hair, one tickled her, and one, by accident, accidently plopped her top off. Redness was appearing on Savayna. She then proceeded to run around the shores, only to, yet again, tackle upon Grant, tits on face yet again. Meanwhile, Wesley had her top in his hands as he would somewhat wave it as a white flag of surrender.
