Things to Do at the Beach, Galactica Point, Friday Morning, Class #4

[fh_extras]

"Good morning," Jarod grinned, more focused than he'd been the week before. He was also wearing a swimsuit and his hair was damp. There was also a battery-operated CD player, currently playing The Beach Boys' greatest hits. "It's getting a bit warmer, so I thought we could try something a little different today. Today we'll be surfing. We have a collection of surfboards or bodyboards for you to choose from. Be careful with them, though, since they're on loan."

"Also," he said, gesturing towards a pile of equipment over on the sand, "we've got wetsuits available, if the water's too cold for you."

He grinned, possibly anticipating getting back out and doing some surfing for himself. "For those of you who don't want to surf, there's also some snorkeling equipment. All I ask is that you be careful, swim with a buddy, and snorkel in an area away from where people are surfing, so we don't have any accidents. Or there's always the get a tan and build sand castles option."

The CD player switched to Jan and Dean. "Go have fun!"

Isabel took a seat on the sand next to Jaye. Jack danced around Jaye and yipped.

"So, I was thinking..."

"Yeeees?" Jaye asks, waving hello at the fox.

Jack tried to nudge at Jaye's hand for a head scratch.

"You know how we were talking about about a Fourth of July beach party?" Isabel asked, mostly innocently. "Well, I was thinking that the best way to make sure it happens, is to arrange it ourselves. I'm going to stop by one of the admin's office hours and see if I can convince them to give me approval and a budget."

Re: On the beach

[fates_jaye]

"Ooooh," says Jaye, automatically going to scratch Jack's head. "Do you think 'shirtlessness encouraged' would help or hurt?"

Re: On the beach

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Jack whined happily. If it was possible for a fox to purr, he might have done that as well.

"I think we need to work the subtle angle. Set up a situation where they'd want to be shirtless," Isabel said with a sly grin. "Say perhaps in a volleyball game?"

Re: On the beach

[fates_jaye]

"That would really work," Jaye says innocently. "It's the beach, and it's hot, and there's exercise. They're just going to get all sweaty, and who wants to mess up their clothes?"

It hasn't really occurred to her that she's having this conversation in front of fox Jack.

Re: On the beach

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Exactly," she agreed. "Want to be in charge of arranging a game?"

Jack just sat there and looked smug.

Re: On the beach

[fates_jaye]

"I could maybe do that," she says slowly. "I mean, if it's for the pretty..."


[Heading out, back hopefully soon.]

"That's why I asked you Jaye," Isabel smiled. "I knew you'd be willing to make the sacrifice for the pretty. Good, that's one thing crossed of the list." She reached into her bag and pulled out a notepad and literally did cross something off a very long list. "Now it's just a matter of talking to people and getting some money. I'd like to see about a caterer for food and maybe some fireworks."

Re: On the beach

[fates_jaye]

Jaye kind of stares at the notepad. "You have a... Catering?"

Re: On the beach

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"If I can get a budget? Why not?" Isabel shrugged. "Nothing fancy of course, burgers, dogs, that kind of thing. But still, it's 4th of July. A barbaque is required. And I really don't want to be the one stuck working a grill."

Parker came by and patted a hyper Jack after Isabel and Jaye had been talking a while. "It's possible Jarod is the biggest dork on the beach. But I'm glad we're finally surfing."

Jack rubbed his head against Parker's legs then bounded away to dance in a circle around her, before pouncing on her feet.

When you're shaped like a fox, certain behaviour comes naturally.

"I suppose I'll have to get in the water at some point," Isabel said. "Is it difficult? Remember, desert girl here."

[ooc: going out with the husband for dinner. Hopefully I can pick up later.]

Jack flattend his ears and shook his head vigorously, twining around Isabel's legs. //I'm not going in the water wearing a fur coat. You have to stay here and keep me company.//

Re: Sign in!

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"You can sit on the beach and watch," she told him. "I don't think Jarod has any PFDs that would fit a small fox."

Re: Sign in!

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Jack grinned at her. //They'd clash with my fur, anyway.// He put his paws on her knees and whined, then flopped into her lap, legs waving in the air.

Re: Sign in!

Isabel rolled her eyes and rubbed his belly. "You and I are going to have to have a talk when you get vocal cords back again."

Re: Sign in!

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Jack looked up at her out of half closed eyes, ears flopped backwards, completely limp and utterly happy.

Re: Sign in!

"And who's this?" Jarod asked, offering a hand for the fox to sniff. He was also dripping water everywhere after spending some more time falling off his surfboard.

Re: Sign in!

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Jack rolled off Izzy's lap and shoved his head under Jarod's hand, ignoring the water dripping onto his fur, front feet dancing in the sand.

Parker snickered, and jerked her legs out of his reach before grabbing him but the scruff of his neck. "Hey, you. God, you need to change back, but you are so damn cute like this." She rubbed under his chin, and grinned at him.

Re: On the beach

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Jack grinned back in complete agreement, eyes half closed as he leaned into her fingers. Being a fox was fun, but, as far as he could tell, he was the only one on the island. And that was very depressing.

Re: On the beach

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"And so pretty too." Parker stroked his fur back over his skull, and shook her head. "You are so explaining how this happened when you're back. Knowing you, there's sex involved somewhere."

Re: On the beach

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

//Yes. Yes. And almost.// Jack pushed into her hand, ears flicking forwards and back in agreement, before settling into smugness.
