Upon Arrival

    You know how it goes. One minute you're minding your own business. Maybe you're in your own universe, maybe you're in another one entirely. Whichever the case, you blink and suddenly you find yourself in front of a small, wooden information booth, without so much as a warning. The weather is lovely, the environment peaceful, until someone clears their throat nearby to get your attention. It's coming from the booth. Inside the booth sits an older gentleman, old enough to be your grandfather, and he's smiling warmly at you.

    "Welcome," he says, giving you a grin and a small nod. He means no harm and regards you with some curiosity before reaching towards a stack of very plain looking pamphlets in front of him.

    "It'd be in your best interest," he states, going through the pamphlets before pulling one up, turning to reach into a filing cabinet for an envelope clearly stuffed with something. "It'd be in your best interest to take these. And to check your pockets," he states. The envelope is filled with money, paper bills that seem to shift colors in the light, and the pamphlet welcomes you to the current settings of this pocket dimension and tells you that while lodging is free, entertainment, food and other necessities are not so it's probably best that you find a job.

    Inside your pockets are a set of keys and a map to a house. The house is yours. You'll even find a chest in your bedroom, containing six items from home, some of which you're sure shouldn't even fit in there.

    Welcome to Town.





Just ask anyone, Beachville is the most beautiful city anywhere! That's exactly what the NPCs will tell you with a genuine smile on their faces and a happy nod. It even just might be true. For a beach as crowded as it is, it's surprisingly clean! The sand is just right. Not too hot and soft to the touch. The water is so blue you can see marine life swimming just under the surface. A variety of multicolored fish. Dolphins. The occasional mermaid.

...yes, that was in fact a mermaid! They're playful, don't worry. They won't try to drown you, Maybe just knock you off your surfboard with a laugh and a flash of a shimmery tail as they swim off to who knows where.

There are still sharks in that very blue, very clear water, but they're not interested in you in the slightest. In fact, they seem very keen on avoiding you.

There's so much to do here in Beachville! There's fishing off the docks, well away from where people are swimming. There's a boardwalk with almost every shop imaginable. A tattoo artist, a piercing parlor, a place to buy silly souvenirs like hermit crabs in cages, or ridiculous shirts. There's so much food to be tried; Pizzas, Salt Water Taffy's, lemonades of various flavors and some of the best burgers and fries you've ever had!

If the day-life isn't for you, wait until dark. The amusement park (which opens at sunrise and runs until 2 AM), lights up the night in a fantastic and colorful display, the sounds of the roller coasters and laughing guests heard for miles around, and part of the docks turns into an open air nightclub, complete with dance floor, beverages for all and alcohol for anyone over eighteen. Don't try to trick the bartender. They'll know.

If the hustle and bustle and noise of the beach isn't for you, don't worry. There are many resorts nearby with their own private swimming pools and entertainment. There are coffee shops on almost every street, various boutiques and curios to look at and a movie theater or two.

Don't worry; you'll also find the more necessary stores like grocery stores (where there is something for almost everyone), pharmacies, book stores, clothing stores, hardware stores. There's even a police station, fire house and hospital.

But that's not what Beachville is about! Everyone needs a vacation, right?



Beachville Locations
(Feel Free to use our locations to spark ideas for prompts! Check out other fun locations Here!)


Beachville Boardwalk and Amusements

Just what it says on the tin. Every possible Boardwalk location you can think of is here. Tattoo parlors, really cheesy t-shirts and hideous beach attire, awesome food of highly dubious nutritious value. There are also rides, like a huge ferris wheel, bumper cars, spinning rides and a huge roller coaster. At night, part of the boardwalk closes and turns into a place for dancing, drinking (For anyone over eighteen) and watching fireworks every weekend until 2 AM.


The Surf Board

There are three of these places located along the beach, and each one seems to be run by surfers in 'business attire'. Of course, by business attire, we mean these shirts and khaki shorts. They're here for all your surfing needs whether it be board rentals, lessons or even board purchases and care products. Dude.


Shellfish Shack

A small, outdoor restaurant right beside the fishing docks that can happily boast the freshest, most inexpensive seafood. There are crabs, lobsters, shellfish of many edible varieties and other seafood, besides. They also sell fresh catches by the pound that you can cook yourself at home, so go ahead and buy some! And be sure to buy some of their fresh made lemonade by the gallon. It's known all over Beachville as the best.


Beach Breeze

The Perfect place outdoors to grab a smoothie or any kind of fruit juice. They also serve the best shaved ice you've ever had in your life. What a great way to beat the heat!

A growl, his hair going red at the tips, fangs bared. “I’m not from her universe.”

He had to hold onto the hope that the Lydia from his universe would forgive him enough to summon him.

“God, kid, didn’t you listen to either of us at all?”

"I listen, you're just not thinking," she replied, smug. "You're not from this universe either, yet here you are. If we can travel between worlds and realities and universes against our will, let's go find out who we have to beat up to choose our next stop ourselves."

“I have to think about Lydia 2.0 too.” He wanted to be in calling distance, heck, he wanted to be in calling distance of both versions of the kid. The demon wanted to be on good terms with both Lydias, and while he felt reasonably sure Beta Lydia trusted him and forgave him for his past—-

Beetlejuice couldn’t say the same of the Lydia from his world. He thought he’d made up for things by getting rid of his mother and saving the teen, but...he wasn’t quite as confident as he had been. Some part of him feared a reaction out of her line that he’d received from Beta Lyds when he first saw her.

His hair was rapidly going from red to purple, and he kept his mouth shut, because he knew Mal didn’t care. Didn’t see through him like Lydia, didn’t even really see him at all.

“She’s tough. She’ll be fine without us.” He said very quietly. “They see her there, the Maitlands see her back home.”

Evie! Nice. Any relation to Snow White?

[It's a wisecrack, of course. Because no one is this charming and sweet and tastefully offended by cursing, so...Snow White.

He's already decided that's her new nickname. That, or Princess Peach, but...the hair, so. Princess Toadstool, maybe?...]

[ Oh, Hannibal. Get ready for your first lesson in The Multiverse and all the crazy things therein. Like, for example; ]

She's my step-sister.

[ She said that far too seriously for it to be bullshit. ]

My mother married her father. And then tried to kill her out of jealousy. I was born on a prison island because of that.

Lovely girl with the pretty eyes, are you okay?

The temptation to pop that bubble was overwhelming. To try and curb that impulse, the demon floated upside-down in front of the diminutive mage, grinning widely.

“Hi there!”

No matter how Alec dressed, there was still some hint of what he was in his demeanor. Warrior, soldier, hunter... the term varied depending on who noticed him, but it was obvious that he was watchful. Especially now in a new setting and far from his loved ones.

He was relaxed, or as relaxed as possible in this situation. He'd stopped for a smoothie, pausing his explorations when he noticed the bracer on the Mundane's arm. His gaze sharpened, taking in details, looking for weapons or a sign of a threat. There was no glamour that he could sense and she wasn't a Shadowhunter, which made archery gear seem strange. Most Mundies weren't into the 'sport' and those that were didn't wear their gear for errands.

"Where's your bow?" Abrupt but tact or small talk had never been one of Alec's strengths.

I don't know.

[ She clenches her jaw, hating the fact that she is showing any kind of weakness. ]

I'll be fine. I'm just...this is a lot.

Since her training, Allison's own demeanor had shifted over time. Usually, she was more aware of her surroundings, always ready on some level for an attack or some kind of threat to come her way. Especially given they seemed to be constantly coming back home.

Now she was edgy for another reason and distracted just enough that she didn't notice the man right away or the fact that he was watching her rather closely. Not until there was a familiar little itch at the back of her neck, warning her that someone was in fact watching and causing her to turn slightly towards him even as he asked her about her bow.

It was a question that left her blinking at him before she frowned, ready to play dumb and ask him what the hell he was talking about before she glanced down at the reason he had asked. Then her gaze darted to his face again as she realized he had recognized the bracer and what it was for.

"I don't know. It wasn't on me when I arrived." She answered, lifting her chin slightly. "Why? Do you have one?"
mal_contented: (Eye roll)

[personal profile] mal_contented 2020-06-17 06:49 am (UTC)(link)
She rolled her eyes. "From what you've said, no clue why you'd want to go back to your version of her. Seems far more my type than yours. And yeah, from what I know, Lydia doesn't need either of us. Thing is, we don't need music either. I'd still rather have it around. But you're going to do what you want to do. Feel free. Me? I'm going to do what is smart." She stalked off.
guru_clef: (Intense)

Oh dear. Not the one of yours he was looking for, lol.

[personal profile] guru_clef 2020-06-17 07:37 am (UTC)(link)
"Ah... hello. Either this is a Storm or I have truly arrived somewhere new. In either case I am looking for a few people, as you can also fly, would you be able to help?"

Mal got another bucket of water for the perceived slight against his Lydia. “She gets me.”

Beetlejuice rolled his eyes. “It’s just another summoning, kid. Did you freak out this badly about the other place?”
creepyoldguy: from: stratfords @ livejournal (Default)

He’s so rarely what anyone is looking for

[personal profile] creepyoldguy 2020-06-17 12:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Beetlejuice righted himself, before standing in front of Clef, hand in his pockets. “Who are ya looking for? They’re probably not here. I’ve only run into one familiar face and they hate my guts. Although, I guess that could be because I keep dumping sea water on her, but, she had that second one coming since she insulted Scarecrow. Why are you in a bubble?”

Clef, meet Beetlejuice.
angelic_archer: (Nervous - fidget)

[personal profile] angelic_archer 2020-06-17 03:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Alec almost crossed his arms over his chest to give her the type of look he'd give Clary or Izzy, then he realized that he'd probably frighten her. He knew he seemed intimidating even when he was trying to be polite. Instead he kept his stance relaxed, or as relaxed as a Shadowhunter stuck in another reality could get.

Watching her reaction to his question, he was reminded of his sister and had to stop himself from rolling his eyes. Expecting either the denial or the little sister wheedling that Izzy would try, he almost smiled. "I had one back home. I'm not sure if I have one now, but I will get one eventually." And the rest of the weapons he was missing, even if he had to improvise or make them himself.

[ Peter had been watching his girl friend hang ten like a pro but he'd seen fallen asleep under the hot son. He's laid out on his own beach towel, a cheap pair of sunglasses on his face and just a pair of swimming trunks. ]

[ He also appears to be getting alarmingly red. Did he remember sunscreen? It might be doubtful at this point. ]

[ When Gwen shoved her board in the sand though he wakes up and sits up, unaware of just how the burn is. ]


Yeah, me too.

[ He won't love the sunburn though. He's in for a rough night being coated in aloe vera gel. ]

[ Gwen is going to be kicking herself for the rest of the day, starting in about three seconds. She opens her eyes to look at Peter and freezes for a moment, eyes wide. ]

Peter. Babe, you're a tomato.

[ They're going to stop at the pharmacy on the way home to get a shit-ton of aloe. And cooling spray. She's sure his healing will take care of it fairy quick, but he's in for a rough time until then. ]

There's outdoor rinse-off stations nearby. You should probably step into one and coo yourself off.

She spun to face him. "Sent to me sent to you may all attacks come upon you true," she snarled eyes green so that, hopefully, any further magic he directed at her would hit him instead. "Trust me," she snarled, "you have not yet seen me freak out."

"Caramel ribbon frappuccino for me. Biggest one they have. Extra shot. Whipped cream," Gwen says. She knows what she likes. No one should be surprised.

She steps back from Mr Stark and holds her hand out for Peter.

"But I'm coming back here after to sign up for surfing lessons. There's no way I'm skipping that."

“You sound like Dr. Seuss. And all you do is freak out, I’ve seen literal toddlers with more self control.”

He trailed behind her, utterly unconcerned.
guru_clef: (Dramatic)

ROFL. Pood BJ.

[personal profile] guru_clef 2020-06-18 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
Was... any of that meant to make sense? Well part of it did, given he recalled his arrival in Naut.

"I am looking for my son or his brother. He held up a hand and an illusion of each appeared. "Link might also look like this," and the illusion shifted to Link's wolf form. "I am also looking for," the image shifted to Zelda. "Zelda," then it shifted to Connie and Nita "Connie or Nita." What was Link talking about, him needing to be more social. Look how many people he knew!

"As for the shield spell, it is an efficient way to both travel and keep myself safe at the same time."

Beetlejuice reached over with a claw to see if he could pop the bubble.

“Nope, haven’t seen ‘em.”
mal_contented: (Um no.)

[personal profile] mal_contented 2020-06-18 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
"It is a spell. Rhyming makes them stronger." Probably. She wasn't actually sure since there were only two people she could really learn from - her mother who was probably lying, and FG who refused to teach them.

"This is not freaking out. Have I killed anyone? Cast a wide spreading sleeping curse? Kidnapped anyone? No? Then this is not me freaking out."
guru_clef: (Seriously?)

[personal profile] guru_clef 2020-06-18 01:48 am (UTC)(link)
Not without a lot more intent. Though seeing that, he was reinforcing his spells. "I see. Then I shall have to keep searching. Good day to you."

Sorry, Link, he still wasn't good at social.
