vii λ beach (forward-dated to Thursday)

[assassino]

[Ezio had made a discovery.

Insolitus had soaked up a lot of his free hours (or at least, the hours where he was not eating, sleeping, socializing or buried to the hilt or face first in a beautiful woman) but somehow, the Four Seasons room had managed to elude him. Maybe he'd just had bad luck with the doors. But now, there is was -- a beach.

To the journal!!]

----- Stephanie and Lucrezia -----

[Dictated!]

Have you seen the room with the shoreline in it? I have never seen that door there before today.

We should explore.

same filter foreverrrr

[heloise]

[ A shoreline in a room? But that's impossible in anywhere not a magical castle. ]

You will hold the door open for us?

yyyy

[secondchances]

If he's not drowning.

[assassino]

I'm not drowning!

I'll hold the door. It's on the third floor, near the music room.

[heloise]

[ She hesitates. ]

Must I wear a dress to the beach?

[secondchances]

Oh--crap. That's right. Beachwear. Uhh... time to play dress up again!

Lucrezia, you can come to my room before we head to the beach. I'll get you something to wear.

[assassino]

Again?

[Wait, what? Does he have to stand here holding the door while they go get dressed for the occasion? Women.]

[heloise]

I wanted you to say that.

[ She laughs. And ignoring you, Ezio. ]

I will be there soon.

[secondchances]

[Some laughter over here, too.]

We'll be quick, promise. Make us something out of sand in the meanwhile.

[assassino]

What would I make out of sand?

[heloise]

A miniature of Florence, Ezio.

[ For once, she takes less than half an hour to walk across the hallway. Here's knocking on Steph's door! ]

[secondchances]

I was going to say a mountain, but that works too.

[Openin' the door :) ]

Let's hurry before you-know-who gets all grumpy.

[assassino]

[Well. He'll just wait here, then.

Carving out a crude map of Florence in the sand, with his sword, while keeping an eye on the door. He doesn't want it to vanish again, trapping him forever 8(]

I'm not grumpy...

[heloise]

No, you are not grumpy, are you, Ezio?

[ Laughing with glee as she ~twirls into Steph's room. ]

You are simply delighting in your memories of Florence.

[secondchances]

Sounds like he is. That, or sulky.

[She pulls Lucrezia over to the bed, where there's a cute bathing suit laid out. Not sure how she'll react...]

Here it is. You can wear stuff over it, of course, but this is for going into the water.

[assassino]

We're going into the water?

[heloise]

[ That thing is cute, but very tiny and flimsy. She picks it up by the sleeves. ]

Will it--hold? Against the waves?

[secondchances]

That's what you do at the beach--go into the water.

[She laughs a little at Lucrezia. Valid concern.]

Yeah, it will. You'll be fine.

[assassino]

Is that common now, for men and women to bathe together?

[Listening to them change... hahaha.]

[heloise]

And the skirt?

[ She throws a worried look at Stephanie. ]

We're bathing together?

[secondchances]

Nonono. We're not bathing, we're swimming. And it's not really even swimming, not if you don't want it to be. It's more like... playing in the waves.

[She lifts the bottom of her shirt to show Lucrezia that she has her swim suit on underneath, bottoms and all. :) ] See? If you're not comfortable with showing so much skin, you can wear shorts. It's not a problem.

[assassino]

[He's not sure there's much of a difference. Since when do men and women swim for pleasure? Does Stephanie not know what goes in rivers? :|

Teasing:]

I'm sure that no matter how revealing these outfits are, they don't show anything I haven't seen before.

[heloise]

[ Still staring at Stephanie's outfit. It makes to difference if they're playing in the waves or just standing around at the beach if they do it in that. ]

No, no. I am comfortable.

[ She chuckles. ]

Won't Ezio need beachwear as well?

[secondchances]

[Lucrezia gets to see Steph roll her eyes at Ezio's comment as she hands the bathing suit to her and nudges her towards the bathroom to change.]

We'll take care of him when we get there.

[assassino]

[BUT HE WAS BEING SO FUNNY AND CHARMING :'( HIS EGO IS SHATTERED.

Ugh whatever, ladies! >:( He's at least pulling off his jacket because goddamnit it is hot in here. Assassins hate heat.]

[heloise]

[ She laughs at Steph and skips to the bathroom to change before Ezio starts making little people for his little Florence. Poor guy.

Taking her clothes off takes longer than putting the beachwear on, which says something. She steps out hugging all her clothes in her hand because, yes, clearly uncomfortable but so not admitting it. ]

Have you really seen everything, Ezio?
