Day-Dreams of the Twins (Open RP)

"Wow... this is a nice place." I'm sat on the sand at the top end of the beach, safely away from the waves assaulting the shore. The coast stretches off in both directions for as far as I can see, a golden strip of cloth in the evening light. The rising moon is a semi-circle on the horizon, and it's pearly reflection shimmers over the waves.
"Yeah, it is." I turn to look at my sister, she says it, but I can tell she doesn't mean it. Her nose is still in her book and has been for the past five minutes. I'd be surprised if she knew where we were.
Looking back out over the ocean, I begin to drift into a day-dream.

"Yeah, it is." I slowly respond to Ajax's statement, something about a rice face? Meh, I'm not particularly bothered, the book I'm reading being far more interesting.

I was walking along the coast of the beach to take a breather for the day. Man, I've done a lot. I looked out to water and sighed. I sat right in front of the shoreline so the water would hit my feet only. The water was cold, but it felt nice. I haven't been here for a while and I'm still not quite used to things. I drew pictures of stars and hearts in the sand.

I'm snapped out of my day-dream by a figure walking along the beach below us, then sitting right by the sea, letting it wash over their feet freely. I'm tempted to go down and greet them, but this spot is just so comfortable.
I nudge Alyssa to get her attention (she mumbles at me a few times first) and when I do, point at the lone figure.

"Hey!" Ajax is nudging me. "Quit it!" Still nudging me. "Stop it! Now!" He stops when I look up at him, and expecting him to say something stupid like 'Gotcha!' or sarcastic like 'I didn't do anything.', I'm surprised to find that he just points to a girl sat by the sea.
"Yeah, so?" I go back to my book. I hear him sigh heavily and out of the corner of my eye I see him rise and slowly make his way down to the girl himself.
My brother making a fool of himself in front of a girl being much more fun than reading, I fold the corner over, close the book, and watch the two talk.

I had just finished drawing a little owl shaped figure when I sensed something beside me. I look up and I see a boy. "Erm...Hello." I smiled friendly-like. I looked at him. He's familiar. I know I've seen him before. "Uh, have we met before?" I asked standing up and brushing the sand off of my pants.

She looks up at me from the sand, where an owl had been drawn, and smiles in a friendly sort of way.
"I'm not sure, it might've been in Capture the Flag." I suggest this to her, smiling and sit down next to her. "If we have met though, I don't remember your name. Sorry" I smile at her again. Thinking now that I'm smiling too much, I wipe the emotion off my face, maybe a little to quickly.

He sits down next to her now, and they start a conversation. I lean slightly forward, thinking this will help me to hear them but it makes no significant difference.

Subject: Re: Day-Dreams of the Twins (Open RP) Wed Jun 01, 2011 7:49 pm

"Possibly." I reply, smiling. "My name is Kennedy Sykes, daughter of Athena. You are?" I ask smiling. Maybe it was Capture the Flag where I had seen him. But I believe I've seen him around camp other days. I run my fingers through the sand. I've always loved the beach. It's such a nice place to be.

"Ajax Manning." I reply in what I think is a confident voice. "And that up there's my sister." I turn to look at Alyssa who seems to be leaning towards us, but I can't really tell from here. She lurches back though when she notices us looking and hides behind her now open book. "She's a bit shy."

What are they saying down there? Oh no! They're looking at me, I grab my book and sit upright again, pulling the pages in front of my face and try to read, only to realise the book's upside down. I blush and am glad that no one sees.

"Nice to meet you." I smile. I turn to look at his sister but she was reading. "I used to be shy too." I said picking up a rock and skipping it across the water. It bounced a few times before sinking. "It's beautiful here, don't you think?" I ask Ajax picking up another rock.

"Yeah... I said that to my sister before but she didn't seem to appreciate it." Again I found myself gazing out into the pearly, silver semi-circle sitting on the horizon. Copying Kennedy, I pick up one of the rocks and skim it as hard as I can, it bounces a good number of times before dropping into the water with an audible plop.

Subject: Re: Day-Dreams of the Twins (Open RP) Wed Jun 01, 2011 8:08 pm

"Well she's reading. I'm like that when I read too." I laughed skipping another rock. I see Ajax's rock skip like, ten times before sinking. "Wow! I can only get to four skips before it sinks." Right when I said that my rock sank. It skipped three times. "See?" I laughed looking around for another rock.

Charity walked down the beach. She was holding her flip flops and looking at the moon. She generally made this trip during the day, but the day had gotten busy. She looked at the moon, for obvious reasons, it reminded her of her aunt Artemus, who she'd never met, but heard a lot about.

She glanced down the beach and saw a girl and a boy talking, and another girl sitting on the beach reading. She was impressed. Reading? For one thing, half-bloods were known for dyslexia, but it was dark, even with the moon. Charity supposed that if she read enough, it would get easier, but she didn't like sitting in the same place for too long.

"Hello!" She said, walking toward the boy and girl. "Popular place."

"Yeah, it is." I reply this to the girl who had just joined us, then pick up another rock and this time just throw it as hard as I can out to sea. It travls quite a distance and the resolute plop of it sinking sounds a moment later.

I decide to head down and join the others, I mean, what's the worst that can happen? Really.

Subject: Re: Day-Dreams of the Twins (Open RP) Thu Jun 02, 2011 6:10 pm

"It is, isn't it?" I reply to the girl who had just joined me and Ajax. "My name is Kennedy Sykes." I told her. I KNOW I haven't seen her before. "Do you like to skip rocks?" I asked handing her a rock. Then I her Ajax rock way out in the water before sinking. "Why can't I get it that far?" I laughed throwing another rock. 4 skips. "Goodness gracious." I laughed.

"You just have to have the right technique." I skim another one into the sea then turn to face her again. "Want me to show you?"

I reached the others and sat down next to the girl who'd just arrived, laying my book down next to me carefully. "I'm Alyssa." I said to the girl rather suddenly.Maybe too suddenly, oh no, this is a bad first impression. I don't show this though, smiling to cover it up.

Subject: Re: Day-Dreams of the Twins (Open RP) Thu Jun 02, 2011 6:19 pm

"That would be great!" I laugh picking up another rock and smiling at him.

"Nice, well you do it like this." I move to sit behind her than put my right hand over hers, before picking up a rock in her hand and making the sweeping motion I'd used so often before. The rock skimmed a good six times before sinking.
"It's all about strength as well." I grin at her, tensing my right arm.

Subject: Re: Day-Dreams of the Twins (Open RP) Thu Jun 02, 2011 6:31 pm

I blushed lightly when his hand touched mine. Hey! Don't laugh at me! I've never been this close to a boy before! "So, like this?" I said picking up another rock, and copying the move he showed me and put all my strength into it. It skipped nine times. "Yes!!" I laugh as I do a mini victory dance, forgetting he was there. I turned and saw him again and immediately stopped dancing and started blushing again. "Erm...sorry.." I laugh nervously.

"Not at all." I smile back at her, blushing in the moonlight. "D'you wanna go for a swim?" That was weird, but I've said it now and I have no clue why. So I just reinforce myself with a grin.

Subject: Re: Day-Dreams of the Twins (Open RP) Thu Jun 02, 2011 6:45 pm

"Sure." I smiled. I had my bathing suit under my shirt and shorts so I just took those off and put my hair in a pony tail. "Ready." I laugh.

Posts : 250 Join date : 2011-03-22 Age : 26

"Oh." I was shocked at her willingness. "Yeah, okay then." I took off my shirt, trainers and shorts, then wading in after her, I splashed water towards her, laughing as the moonlight danced over our bodies.

Ugh, what's Ajax doing now? I sigh aloud and thinking the girl is looking at me strangely, I pick up my book and begin to read again.

Subject: Re: Day-Dreams of the Twins (Open RP) Thu Jun 02, 2011 6:57 pm

"Hey!" I laugh splashing him. I waded away from him as quickly as I could giggling. The moon shone down on us. I started spacing and started looking up at the moon. Man, It was beautiful tonight.

Charity watched the boy and Kennedy. If she had to guess, they had something between them. It was almost like an awkward relationship. She shrugged, they weren't really paying attention to her, so she turned to look at the other girl, Alyssa.

"Hi, I'm Charity." She smiled back at her pleasantly and sat down. She looked at the cover of Alyssa's book and tried (and failed) to decipher it. "Um, so what are you reading?"

She glanced at the boy and Kennedy, wading out into the water. She was almost jealous. Even though she'd been here a year already, she hadn't met someone who she was completely comfortable around. Sure, she had friends. She was a friendly person. She liked people, but sometimes she got into moods that seemed to drive people away. She looked back at Alyssa and smiled again. "Are you and him siblings?" She waved a hand at the boy.

I laugh as we splash each other and dive under the waves. She's a really nice gilr to be around. I glance at the shore and see Alyssa in conversation with the girl, so they're fine. I'll stay here with Kennedy for longer. I smile at this thought.

"Uhm, it's a collection of Greek stories. And yeah, yeah we are. Twins actually." I closed the book and lay it next to me, so that I could start a proper conversation with Charity.
"I'm Alyssa by the way. Just arrived today. How long have you been here?"

Subject: Re: Day-Dreams of the Twins (Open RP) Fri Jun 03, 2011 6:12 pm

I saw Ajax go under the waves. I waited until he came back up. When he did I splashed him again. "I'm going to win this splash battle!" I laugh going under the water.

"Not if I can help it!" Saying this I bring my arms up so strong a mini tidal wave covers Kennedy and tries to push her under. Not realising the strength I'd put in, I tread water waiting for her to retaliate.
