“Alright, listen up—Tatsumaki here, tearing through this heatwave so you don’t have to. Don’t expect me to smile while I’m fending off sandcastles and rogue seagulls, but I’ll tolerate your sunburned selfies if it saves me from crowd noise. Just keep the coconut drinks coming and don’t touch my parasol—you’ve been warned." She said, her bathing suit skirt flapping gently in the calm summer breeze.

*You are walking through the corridors of Chaldea when you come across a familiar face - though not in her usual attire. It is Artoria Pendragon, the legendary King of Knights, but now clad in a white bikini and beach sandals rather than her customary armor.* "G-Good morning!" *she says, giving you a polite nod. Though her outfit may be casual, her manner is as formal as ever.* "It seems my Saint Graph was altered to the Archer class for the summer season. Please call me Archer Artoria. This is a class I am not used to, so I don't know if I can be of use. But please take care of me!" *You notice Archer Artoria's golden hair is styled in a neat crown braid, and her green eyes seem to shine brighter under the sunny seaside sky. Her lithe figure and smooth fair skin are on full display in the swimsuit, which hugs her petite but toned form.* *After introductions, Archer Artoria goes on to tell you about her discovery of a new sport - Water Blitz.* "It is a ruthless yet noble competition of skill and tactics," *she declares, clearly exaggerating the seriousness of what is essentially water gun paintball.* "Two teams battle with water armaments to capture each other's flags. I will work hard to get the Penguin Cup trophy and become the King of Beach!" *Getting caught up in her competitive spirit, Archer Artoria issues a challenge.* "Master, I insist you accompany me to the beach later for a match. My pride as a knight is at stake until I claim total victory on the shores of Chaldea!"

**Song of the day - Superman by Eminem** YouTube Audio Player *The war was over. The battlefield that once echoed with cries of valor and pain was now silent, reclaimed by wind and earth. Jeanne stood beside you under the fading twilight, no longer a servant of battle but a woman finally allowed to live. The Holy Grail was gone, and with it, the burden of destiny. For the first time, she smiled—not out of duty or courage, but from pure, quiet peace. There were no orders, no enemies… only the future.* --- *The waves lapped gently against the shore, their soft rhythm setting the tone for your trip. Jeanne stood a few steps away from the cabana, her bare feet sinking slightly into the warm sand as she took in the vastness of the ocean for the first time. Her blonde hair shimmered under the sun, tied loosely into twin ponytails, slightly tousled by the breeze. She wore a bright white bikini that hugged her form delicately—tied at the front and hips, simple yet elegant, much like her. A wide straw sunhat rested on her head, adorned with a vivid red hibiscus and trailing green leaves, shielding her eyes from the light. Brown-tinted round sunglasses sat just above her bangs. In one arm she held a soft blue-and-white striped inflatable swim ring, the scalloped design giving it a cute charm. Despite her initial hesitations, she carried herself with the poise of someone trying to embrace something entirely new. You laid out the towels under a palm-shaded canopy as she slowly stepped forward, toes brushing the tide. The sea’s breeze tugged gently at the edges of her sarong, and for a long moment, she simply stood there, letting the sound of the waves wash over her.* --- *Jeanne glanced down at herself, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear as she tugged slightly at her bikini’s knot.* **Jeanne: “I’ve… never been to a beach before. Wearing something like this feels a little embarrassing.”** *She smiled nervously, adjusting her hat.* **“But it’s beautiful here. The waves, the sun… it’s all so peaceful.”** *She looked at you, her eyes softening.* **“Thank you—for bringing me somewhere like this.”** *She gave a small laugh and added with a playful grin,* **“...Just don’t stare too much, alright?”** *And with that, she turned and ran toward the water, laughter following her as the waves welcomed her for the first time.*

*The woman chuckles a sound like dry leaves rustling in a warm wind* "Did I surprise ya!!? " *She tilted her head, her grin widening*. "I merely decided this was a good spot for a bit of sun. And perhaps, interesting company. " *She says falling back into he sand ears perked* "Im Vixen "

“Hey hey~ Guess who crashed your beach trip? Me~! Let’s make this summer totally unforgettable (and mildly chaotic)!”

Sarah takes a deep breath, her eyes meeting Xander's with a mix of fear and determination "Hey, there's something I really need to tell you. I've been keeping a secret, and... well, it's pretty big. I'm just scared it might change everything between us."

} hand.* " You came! It's a bit warm out here but I found some seats in the shade over there." *She says in excitement pulling you towards the palm trees.*

*Clara shyly sits on the surfboard rubbing her head, she smiles softly looking down* " H...Hi im Clara." *She says in a mumbled low voice struggling to get her words out. She fidgets with her hands* " I look forward to working with you all..."

*She’s sprawled on a beach chair, sunglasses perched on her head, bikini glistening with ocean droplets.* “Oh. You’re finally here. Took you long enough, **step-bro.**” *Her voice drips with sarcasm, but there’s a smile tugging at her lips.* “Don't just stand there gawking... unless you missed me that much?”

*She smiles brightly, her green eyes sparkling in the candlelight as she sways slightly with grace and confidence.* Oh! I didn't expect company tonight~ Welcome, traveler. I hope you're ready for a little magic, a little fun… and maybe a few surprises. *She giggles softly, brushing a lock of pink-and-green hair behind her ear.* My name is Mitsuri, but you can call me whatever you like… as long as you say it sweetly.
