standing in sunshine [raichi] (305 views)

The sun was shining, the birds were chatting about to one another, laughter and the pattering of shovels filled the air. This married along with the soothing churn of the sea. Mystery Island home to tribal prints, exotic foods, and crafty natives going about their business on this lovely day. A blue kougra made her way down to the beach of her homeland, shades on, sports shorts, flip flops and bag full of items to keep her occupied as she took on sun, and the rolling waves. She paused at the board walk inhaling the sea’s scent and sighed dreamily. “Ahhh home!” she purred flicking her tail about excitedly.

Mystery Island was one of Yosca's favorite destinations this time of year, it was definitely a place that helped him find himself when he was lost. Especially because it's easy to get lost if you're not a local, which pretty much forces one to find their-self. Yosca was walking along the boardwalk, his gaze fixed on the sea. He was always on guard when it came to the big waters, on the look out for a familiar pirate ship. Seeing that the coast was clear he smiled in relief, assured that he could spend another day out of harms way.

She decided to remove her flip flops, and sunk her paws into the soft milky sand. A soft sigh escaped her lips as she padded about the beach avoiding running children and sun bathers a like. Her hair braided back so it was easier to tame when she went swimming. Searching for the ideal spot she looked about and found it, not to far from the water and not to far from the boardwalk where the shops sat about.

Yosca´s gaze shifted to the shallow part of the water where neopets were playing. He couldn´t help but feel envious as they splattered in the water, but he knew he couldn´t get his shirt wet or else his pirate brand would be revealed. Nevertheless he could still enjoy the sun and began his search for a good spot. Of course the best spot was taken. He could see a blue kougra getting ready to settle in it, but that didn´t stop an ex-pirate from joining in. When he reached the same spot he greeted her with a friendly hello, then got straight to the point. "This spot is great. Really good choice. Care to share?"

Hoa stretched and sighed happily, pulling her towel free she set it as neatly as she could with sand everywhere. Placing her bag down her, ears flicking and twitching about the calls of of surfers heckling each other, the hum of skeedos and boat horns. Until a voice broke into her own sort of soundtrack. “Oh…Uhm, I wasn’t expecting anyone to realize this is the ideal spot…but uhhh sure.”

"great" he said happily, glad he could have some pleasant company instead of sunbathing by himself. He put down his small bag, which only carried his towel, a bottle of water and his wallet. He took the towel from the bag and carefully placed it next to hers, still leaving some inches between for personal space. All settled for the sun he lay down on his back, enjoying the sounds of happy neopians and the natural environment. It was perhaps a bit odd for someone to go sun-bathing in his shirt and shorts, but in the daylight he had little choice. He looked at the girl beside him and realized they hadn't introduced yet "My name is Yosca by the way, it's nice to meet you"

Hoa chuckled and scratched her ear as she flopped onto her towel curling her tail about herself. “Sinn is mine. Thanks for the company.” She smiled and turned to look at the sea.

After a bit of sunbathing Yosca sat up again, the heat was starting to make him drowsy and he didn't want to fall asleep. Feeling a bit bored he looked at the Kougra beside him, and felt curious about her. "So, are you from around here?"
He grabbed a bottle of water from his bag and took a sip, then offered it to her "Do you want some?"

[knox]

Sun glasses resting on her face she soaked up the sun, having come prepared for a long day. Her ear nearest to her neighbor twitched and she turned to look at him with a small smile. Shaking her head she spoke "No thanks got my own. And yeah I am born and raised about these here beaches. Yourself?" she felt compelled to ask.

[Raichi]

He put the bottle back in his bag and got comfortable in tailor style. "That must have been nice" he looked at the boardwalk and the jungle in the distance. "this place is beautiful"
He waited a moment before looking at her, hoping for the topic to change as he wasn't fond of speaking about his past. Though they didn't make a song after the eye of the kougra for nothing, as she still seemed to await his response. He scratched his head and smiled shyly. "Right.. Where I come from. Not anywhere special, a pretty dull place really."

"Mystery Island though" he shook his head "This place will never bore me, I've been through some crazy things here" he laughed thinking about it. "I bet you have to, living near a beach and all. Are you good with water and beach sports?"

[knox]

She chuckled and nodded looking to the skies "Hell yeah it is!" she exclaimed before waiting for him to carry on she didn't want to be rude as she did ask about him.

Nodding she pursed her lips then smiled "I pretty much doubt that, you sound like you've been on a few wild adventures haha!" She chuckled and combed through her tail. "I can't agree more! I go to school in Faerieland but when I get a chance to come home I always try to hit the waves with my board, haha Im alright at volleyball too. I like water ski the most though. Again haha what about you? surf at all?"

[Raichi]

"Never tried it, but I do want to give it a go. It always seemed fun"
Yosca heard an annoying buzzing sound. A mosquito landed on his arm. He was quick to swat it using his hand and wiped it off on his towel. He laughed it off "hehe, sorry about that. Anyway I'm a good sailor. Whenever I receive some generous tips I spend it on renting boats." Just thinking about it brought a smile on his face.

"How about you? Ever been on a boat?"
