[CLOSED] you better pack your bags

WHO: the birthday girl & invited guests
WHERE: Magatus
WHEN: 7/16 ~ 7/18
WHAT: (short) road trip
WARNINGS: Probably nothing but will update if something happens

Jen had this trip all planned out. The camper looked a bit riduculous with the pirate flag Satsuki had stuck to the side of it, but it was all in good fun so why not leave it?

On Monday, Jen arranged to pick up everyone ini the city before noon. The idea was to get them all to the recommended camping site well before evening, set up the tents and fire pit, and scope out the lay of the land before taking it easy. Of course the roads are not without their share of hazards, in the form of the random small monsters getting curious about the engine noises. Curbing any temptation to run the beasties over (it's a RENTAL, people!), Jen will suggest that the two powerhouses of the group (Kara and Satsuki) hop out to deal with them while she grabs the emergency tool kit in case anything manages to sneak inside.

Tuesday was a day to be filled with exploring, hiking, some climbing, and the highlight of it was the end of the trail with cliffs peering out over deep, clear waters below. Perfect for diving for the more adventurous of the lot. All the while Jen will be leading the charge like she'd been saving up energy all week for the trip. When they all get tired of that? Time to retire to camp for grilled meats and veggies, popcorn, s'mores, soft drinks and hard drinks, and chatting around the campfire. Maybe someone has some good stories to tell - spooky or otherwise? It's just the five of them underneath the stars.

Wednesday morning was time to take in any last-minute sightseeing, clean up the camp, and head back to Recolle. Hopefully with their sense of adventure satisfied, friendships deepened, and spirits high. Most of that is up to each individual, but Jen will do her best to make sure this birthday outing went as smoothly as possible.


((OOC: kinda barebones in a way but I didn't want to bog everyone down with a boatload of details. if your chara wants to bring along some games, suggest activities, or w/e Jen will be happy to oblige!))

I gathered that much. Wish I could say mine was that impressive. Super strength isn't all it's talked up to be, let me tell you.

It isn't...? It sure sounds amazing to me!

[ Haha... ha. Okay she'll stand here next to the fire and she dusts herself off a little. She did meet everyone in the ride here, but that doesn't mean that she knows everyone well my any means. She smiles and, ]

... I could show you more of mine?

-Satsuki plopped herself down.-

Sure! I could go for a show!

[ Okay.

So she's actually going to walk a ways back from Satsuki, the fire, and the van. Inhale, and exhale, and she pulls out... a pen. She needs some sort of focus, and she holds it like a baton for a conductor. And with that, she swings up, summoning four three or so foot look blades into existence around her. She makes a slow circle with the pen, resulting in them slowly spinning up above her head, rotating both in place and around her in an orbit. ]

-Satsuki's attention was held rapt, eyes practically glowing with reverie as she watched the show. Something about this...-

[ Okay, and then a flick of her wrist and... the four swords split into eight smaller ones. They continue to spin, and then another flick, into sixteen. They spin in multiple layers as she keeps her concentration to keep it in order . . . ! ]
me_matey: (oh i heard it through the grapevine)

[personal profile] me_matey 2018-08-06 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
Whoa... -It was beautiful, to be sure, but it was also admirable how she could keep them all moving like that without dropping any. She definitely looked like she was deeply focused...-

[ Oh it is a lot of focus but... it seems also surprisingly exhilarating. Something fun for her. Natalia's grin grows a little bit more and she waves her hand again, moving them around a little bit as they're layered like this before shooting in one way there and the sixteen rapidly all merge into one blade the size of either her or May and then with a wave down, it crashes into the ground!

But before it touches the ground she flicks her wrist again and -

It shatters into glittering sparkles, leaving just Natalia exposed, sweating a little from the control needed there, but pleased with herself. ]
