(I'm going to assume we did this earlier in the afternoon, rather than 9pm at night, so I'm going with, there's still sunlight) ::Kaia pulled up in her open-air Jeep, wearing a short sundress and her flip flops, dragging her bag out of the Jeep, and within seconds of getting on the beach, her sandals were off. Her long hair was down today, held back from her face with combs, as she inhaled the salt air deeply, smiling as she headed towards the water::
Thom Black (Aug 23, 2010 10:15:04 PM)
::Walks the beach just in the surf. He was without shoes and wearing a pair of green shorts and a black long sleaved shirt. His hair was braided loosely back and he was smooking a handrolled cigarette::
Lukas Vangelis (Aug 23, 2010 10:17:31 PM)
*stands by his PoS pickup, leaning on the front bumper while he waits, a handful of pebbles he picks through and tosses at the grasses nearby. When he spots her, he tosses the entire hanful into the weeds and stands clear of the truck to circle it and grab a 5-gallon bucket from the back. The he walks with her* You bring a bucket or something to hold that glass of yours? *wearing a plain white tee and his usual faded green army shorts, looks like his sneakers are in the bucket*
Kaia Skaare (Aug 23, 2010 10:20:02 PM)
::she blinks... turning around... :: I have a Tupperware container? I didn't know we'd find that much. ::she moves back for the Jeep, leaning in the back, as she yoinks! it out, holding it up triumphantly, grinning, she looks to him:: I thought we were eating mussels and fish... ? ::looking to him curiously, as she skips back onto the sand again, moving for the cooler sand near the water::
Lukas Vangelis (Aug 23, 2010 10:20:25 PM)
*holds up his own bucket* I got that part taken care of.
Lukas Vangelis (Aug 23, 2010 10:21:12 PM)

Oh. Where'd you get them? ::moving to peer into the bucket curiously as she caught up, then looked to Lukas, raising an eyebrow, but follows his line of sight, and she smiles, seeing Thom:: Oh.. I do... ::she waves towards Thom::
Lukas Vangelis (Aug 23, 2010 10:22:21 PM)
I haven't caught them yet. I promised fresh. *laughs* Just said I've got what I need.
Lukas Vangelis (Aug 23, 2010 10:25:14 PM)
*tilts his head and kicks at a larger piece of driftwood..tugging it free of the sand and carrying it along with, letting it drag behind him as he walks, choosing a spot well clear of the tideline to put down the bucket and the first of the driftwood*
Kaia Skaare (Aug 23, 2010 10:25:14 PM)
::she smiles:: I figured fresh was... you know... purchased today. ::finding a spot to dump her bag in, she puts out her towel, then with rapidly moving fingers, she takes the combs out, and begins to braid her hair, one braid on each side of her hair::
Lukas Vangelis (Aug 23, 2010 10:25:40 PM)
Purchased? Why would I pay for em? *points at the sand underfoot* They're right here.
Lukas Vangelis (Aug 23, 2010 10:26:11 PM)
Well, complete truth.. *thumbs at the surfline* There.
Kaia Skaare (Aug 23, 2010 10:26:28 PM)
I .... have never hunted mussels. I've.... never hunted...anything. Ever. I do my hunting at the grocery store.
Thom Black (Aug 23, 2010 10:27:22 PM)
::he finishes up his cigarette then heads over. He puts the butt in his pocket instead of dropping it::
Lukas Vangelis (Aug 23, 2010 10:27:58 PM)
Then you're missing half the fun. *chuckles, digging through the bucket to pull his sneakers out, along with some smaller dry wood and a box of matches, setting a few nearby stones into the beginning of a circle on the sand*
Kaia Skaare (Aug 23, 2010 10:29:16 PM)
::she finishes with a braid, ends hanging to her waist, long soft silver ropes, as she starts with the rest, watching what he's doing:: I almost feel guilty... plucking them from the ocean to eat them...

::he upnods to the pair:: Hey
Kaia Skaare (Aug 23, 2010 10:30:47 PM)

Kaia Skaare (Aug 23, 2010 10:33:02 PM)
I'm getting sea glass... and I'm learning to hunt mussels, apparently. ::she smiles:: I've never hunted before. So I hope they aren't fast. Or gross. ::her tone teasing a bit::
Lukas Vangelis (Aug 23, 2010 10:33:31 PM)
Feel better if we pluck them from the sand? *smirks and digs around in the bottom of the bucket for a few rocks to line them up around the stones to complete the circle*
Kaia Skaare (Aug 23, 2010 10:34:17 PM)
No. I want to get in the water. ::she smiles::
Thom Black (Aug 23, 2010 10:35:51 PM)
Never gone after mussels. I've fished before though, but I'm sure those two arent exactly the same.
Lukas Vangelis (Aug 23, 2010 10:37:16 PM)
Not much alike, unless you fish with your hands. *half-smile, showing white teeth for a moment*
Kaia Skaare (Aug 23, 2010 10:38:59 PM)
I just eat fish.. and shellfish. I've never actually.. fished. ::finishing braiding her hair, she tossed them over her shoulder to keep them out of her way for a moment, as she meandered for the water, up to her ankles, then came back..bouncing on her toes:: I'm going in! ::she reaches down and slides up her sundress, revealing a blue bikini, fitted perfectly to her, as she folds up her dress and puts it away, eyeing her pale pale skin, which appeared to be -covered- in sunscreen, before grabbing her tupperware and moving back for the water::
Thom Black (Aug 23, 2010 10:39:48 PM)

Lukas Vangelis (Aug 23, 2010 10:41:04 PM)
*enjoys the brief performance by the kin, chuckling and not bothering to hide his attention, but he also doesn't move to follow her or catcall, just finishes prepping the firepit* Yeah, I'm not into zen hunger either.
Thom Black (Aug 23, 2010 10:42:50 PM)
Maybe one day I can just ask the fish to let me catch it. Don't think I'll be that good for a while though.
Lukas Vangelis (Aug 23, 2010 10:44:33 PM)
Good luck with that. *looking to Thom with a good-natured smirk* Till then, I think I'll stick with what I know.

Lukas Vangelis (Aug 23, 2010 10:46:20 PM)
*knocking the loose sand out of the 5-gallon bucket over a stone, he stands up and looks over their stretch of beach, eyeing the shoreline and calling to Kaia* Tide's shifting, don't go out too far.
Thom Black (Aug 23, 2010 10:47:31 PM)
Want any help or is this more a private thing? ::he softly asks Lukas::
Lukas Vangelis (Aug 23, 2010 10:48:05 PM)
Private thing? *lifts a brow* Just what the hell do you think I'm doing with the damn shellfish, kid?
Kaia Skaare (Aug 23, 2010 10:49:06 PM)
::she pops up from the water, wiping water from her face, she didn't acknowledge what Lukas said, but she moved in closer and knelt in the water, fingers digging into the sand, her other hand reaching for the floating tupperware, as she starts sifting fingers through the sand, she calls to the boys on shore:: Hey... when one of you gets in the water, can you bring my sunglasses, please?
Lukas Vangelis (Aug 23, 2010 10:49:16 PM)
*smirks, chuckling at the other Get as he walks down the beach toward the hollow he's decided is a likely spot* Find some driftwood, if you want to be useful.
Thom Black (Aug 23, 2010 10:49:42 PM)

Thom Black (Aug 23, 2010 10:55:33 PM)
No that's not why I'm wearing the shirt. I dont really care either way.
Kaia Skaare (Aug 23, 2010 10:57:43 PM)
::she tilts her head:: So.. keep your shirt dry? ::fingers filtering through the water again, watching him from behind her shades::
Thom Black (Aug 23, 2010 10:58:03 PM)
it's fine if it gets wet, probably cooler
Kaia Skaare (Aug 23, 2010 10:59:32 PM)
But then it'll be cold later, when the sun goes down. ::she shrugs:: It's your call.. I can always grab the blanket in the Jeep if you're freezing... ::Success! fingers came up and she brushed the sand from her hand, revealing an opaque piece of green sea glass, and she dropped it into her Tupperware::

Lukas Vangelis (Aug 23, 2010 11:11:08 PM)
*leaning forward, he stabs his straight fingers into the sand on either side of the scrabbling sand of the largest spot, pulling a clam out of the sand quickly and dumping it into the bucket to repeat the trick as the clams scuttle to emerge from the spots he'd boured whatever is in the cylinder down*

Lukas Vangelis (Aug 23, 2010 11:15:30 PM)
*he shifts to scuttle a few steps over while still crouched, to an undisturbed section of the clam bed* They're a little more than a foot down. And that.. *pointing to a little keyhole shaped tunnel* Is the target you're looking for. Pour a little from the cylinder into the hole. *waving a hand at the metal cylinder with it's lid on the stone nearby* Trust me.
Lukas Vangelis (Aug 23, 2010 11:15:36 PM)

::she nods, and watches, as her elegantly slender fingers picked up the cylinder, peering into him, before she drizzled a little into the hole, carefully:: What is it? ::slipping her sunglasses up to watch, eyes focused on the little hole beneath her::
Lukas Vangelis (Aug 23, 2010 11:21:21 PM)
Magic. I already told you. *a grin fading to a smile as he watches her, it's maybe half a minute before the damp sand starts to crack and shift around the keyhole, slowly breaking up as something climbs upward beneath it*
Lukas Vangelis (Aug 23, 2010 11:21:56 PM)
((whatever it is..it's white and granular, much like the sand))
Lukas Vangelis (Aug 23, 2010 11:22:39 PM)

Kaia Skaare (Aug 23, 2010 11:24:29 PM)
::she smiles to him, her eyes still glued to the little hole, and she had a smile on her face, before biting her lip, as though trying to get over the girly urges to be squeamish, fingers ready to dip down.
