A little under half a mile to the west/southwest of the main house began a long stretch of white sandy beach that stretched over half a mile to the south, before coming to a corner. A path led downhill from the main house through the jungle down to the beach. Near the entrance to the path were several deckchairs, which could be adjusted to sit upright, or laid flat to lie down. A short distance from those was a small building, containing a number of water sport equipment, boogie boards, some windsurfers as well as a large assortment of mask, snorkels and fins.

 

The water off the beach was crystal clear, revealing shallows that stretched out hundreds of feet before reaching coral reefs, beyond which the water darkened quickly, as the depth dropped off rapidly. The waves along the beach were low and gentle, the reef taking the brunt of the ocean tides.

8:45am Saturday Local Fiji time.

 

Mizuki seemed to be the first there. She sat down her orange bag, knowing she had everything set for the little trip she was going to go on with Lawrence, but being it was the start of the whole weekend she should start getting some things set up. While the small building had a whole selection of gear, She also had in a large yellow drybag a few more extra goodies. Extra floats from last year were also neatly folded.

 

She spent the next 10 minutes using her electric air compressor to get things inflated. Until a fine selection of rings and mattresses were set up, as well as a pair of single-person military surplus life rafts she found surplus. She hung up some red foam life vests from the storage building on to a pole that was bridged between two sturdy posts.

 

Satisfied with her work, she stepped into a stall with a curtain and changed into a blue swimsuit, laying her sailor themed sundress on the backpack. She snapped the buckles on her fluorescent yellow snorkeling vest, put on a pair of goggles with a snorkel, and sat on the beach putting a pair of swim fins on. She was absent mindedly blowing up her snorkel vest when she could hear footsteps...

Ryan appeared in mid-air amidst a sudden black tear in the air. He turned and plunged into the water below from about ten feet off the surface. He immediately swam back to the surface and laughed as he  swam back to shore.

 

"Wow, didn't know if that would work." he said, wading to the beach. "Should have brought a towel or something. Ah well, the water was very refreshing." he turned to Mizuki. "Wow, you sure know how to hit the beach right." 

 

He stretched. "Sure beats the cold of Freedom City right now, though. It's gorgeous here."

"Eh it's just normal Snorkeling gear you can buy online anywhere... well except the swimsuit, had that custom. No one makes sailor collared swimsuits that don't look well... fanservicey."

 

She decides to forego putting on the fins for now but adjusts her mask and snorkel on her head. "The vest's more because I'm feeling lazy and want to just float. I mean swimming's fun and all, but sometimes I just wanna lay back and watch the seabirds."

 

She laughs a little, getting up. "Lookit me... one of the fastest swimmers in our school and I still got a floatie on. Ah well." She pulls down the vest a little and adjusts it's waist buckle. "Wager some others will be showing up?"
