Open Rolé on the beach

[Senin Ravelo]

Spoiler: OOC

Open to any character that is a Sith Acolyte

G'wenee was a tropical planet, where the temperatures in the summer could reach 45 °C. During these hot days, the inhabitants of Lay Pa-Sidian, the capital of the planet, would flee to the beaches.

Was during one of these hot days of summer that Senin decided to invite all the other Acolytes to spend a weekend at the Ravelo's beach house near the town of Sa-Arema. A summer festival would take place in this town, there would be food stalls, music concerts and several other events. Sa-Arema beaches were famous for its big waves, the largest of G’wenee, which attracted several surfers from across the Galaxy. During the festival, a surf competition was also going to happen.

In reality the idea of inviting the Acolytes wasn’t of Senin. Maxim and Aloia suggested it after they talked about the necessity of their adopted son to make more allies in the Sith Order. With the festival going to happen in Sa-Arema, they considered it as a good opportunity for the younger members of the Order to socialize. Since it wasn't a bad idea and it was also an opportunity for him to stay away from them, the young man accepted their suggestion.

Now dressed in a black t-shirt and beige shorts, Senin was waiting for the arrival of the other Acolytes at the hall of the spaceport in Lay Pa-Sidian. As always, he had black eyeliner around his eyes and his hair was dyed light brown. Even though he preferred to wear black pants and leather boots, the young man knew very well that wearing this type of clothing in the 39°C that was outside was asking to die of heatstroke. At least inside the building was pleasant due to the air conditioner.

The family chauffeur was waiting outside the spaceport to bring the guests to the beach house. Senin hoped that they wouldn't take long to arrive, he wanted to arrive in Sa-Arema as fast as possible to spend the rest of the day at the beach.

 

[Soren Shaggelian]

Well, he hadn't been able to do much as of late so a gathering of others at his rank was an ideal way to start. Should this party turn out to be not good, then he could always just leave, but for now he wanted to establish a social status among his peers. Soren was sure that eventually he would get to know the higher ranked Sith, but for now he wanted to get to know these Acolytes while he was here.

"Mister Soren we've arrivedto the location."

"Thank you Don. I will see you later when I call for a ride back."

"Okay just be careful, your mother would kill me."

"I know, now goodbye!"

Soren stepped out of the speeder limo as he walked to the Beach House in his beach attire ready to enjoy the day. It seemed he may have been a little earlier the the others though maybe it was a good impression to give as it was the first event he has attended. He would walk up and knock on the door awaiting entry to the beach house.

[Aadya Rasheer]

When Aadya had first received the invitation to the party she wasn't really sure it was her type of thing. She'd never even met this Senin Ravelo person or even heard of G'wenee, what possible reason did she have to attend?

The more she thought about it, though, and the more she had looked around her empty apartment, the more she thought maybe getting to know some other acolytes might not be that bad of an idea. Having a couple of friends wouldn't be the worst thing in the world, after all.

Her ship arrived on G'wenee right on time and Aadya exited it with just a little bit of nervousness fluttering in her chest. She was wearing a loose fitting, see through coverup over her swimwear. Aadya had opted for something a touch more conservative than she would have normally worn to a beach. First impressions and all that.

Walking through the spaceport, she spotted two men, one of whom she recognized as Senin from the research she had done after receiving the invitation. Approaching them with a friendly smile, Aadya looked Soren and Senin up and down with a quick glance. At least one of them was cute.

I'm Aadya, She said with a wave. Thanks for the invitation. This world looks beautiful.

Standing next to these two, Aadya felt just slightly out of place. Hopefully some others would arrive soon.

 

[Ashla Ti]

Ashla, unsure of the social norms involved with a party, having never actually attended one herself, had showed up an hours before the allotted time. Which is to say she arrived well over two hours before the cool kids, as they called them, arrived. With nothing to do, she had wandered off to the beach, where she had stumbled upon someone giving out lessons for something called surfing. With time to kill she had purchased the requisite outfit required for surfing, rented a board, and spent the next two hours becoming one with the waves.

By the time she returned to land the party-goers had started to arrive, and as she wandered in, dripping sea-water everywhere in her wake, and a surf-board tucked beneath an arm, three had already arrived. One she knew, two she did not. She assumed one of the strangers was their host, but unsure of how to figure it out without actually speaking to them, she walked up to the trio to introduce herself.

"Acolyte Ravelo?" She asked as she stopped as close as she could get without impaling one of them with her board, and looked from one man to the other, before using any sign of recognition for the name to identify the host and turning her attention to him. "I appreciate you extending an invite to me, not many do, given my background." She would then turn to the other acolyte she did not know, giving him a genuine smile of greeting. "Pleasure to meet you as well. I am Ashla." She then turned her attention to Aadya, the only one of the trio she knew.

"Have you tried surfing sister?" She asked as she wiped more seawater out from her eyes, and patted the surfboard that she still held in the nook of her other arm, a wide grin on her face. "You must give it a try," she addressed them all then, looking from one to the other, "you all must! It is the most exhilarating experience!"

[Malou D'Amaris]

Malou was surprised to receive the invitation at first, but not incredibly so. Senin and her got along quite alright; she liked hanging around him because he talked enough for the both of them. Even so, she debated whether or not she wanted to accept the invitation. 'A beach party for just acolytes?' The teen would admit that she really wanted to meet others her rank--and age. In the end, she accepted. 'What's the worst that can happen?' If anything, she was more likely to make connections, potential allies, and maybe even friends.

When Malou landed on G'wenee, she felt the squeeze of anxiety grip her chest as she descended down the ramp, pulling her black cover up closer to her chest. There seemed to be a group formed already, though she only recognized one: Senin. The others had already begun to group around him, wearing varying degrees of beachwear. Both boys were in shorts and a t-shirt, while both of the other girls were wearing a swimsuit of sorts. Malou relaxed a tad, assured that she had worn something appropriate. Back home on Serenno, the teen had only worn something as revealing as a swimsuit on the rare occasion her cousins had her over to swim and hangout. Truth be told, Malou had never even been that big of a fan of swimming. Things might be different now that she wasn't forced to rely on her own eyesight.

When the dark-skinned girl reached the group, she gave one slight bow of her head and quietly waited for someone to begin introductions. Though the length and color of her cover up obscured it, it still wasn't too hard to see the flame-patterned swimsuit Malou had chosen to wear. The suit had an open back, and the straps of the suit came down and tied around her waist. It was not revealing, but it hugged her form in a way that ensured she would be entirely uncomfortable wearing it around anyone who wasn't her age. Even now, she was content to just hug the cover up close to herself.

[Senin Ravelo]

Of the Acolytes that arrived, the only one that Senin met before was Malou. As soon as he saw her, the Acolyte went to give a proper G’weneen greeting: a tight hug “Mina! Is so good to see you!” after he released the Miralukan, the young man linked their arms.

“Hi, Aadya! I’m Senin, it’s a pleasure to meet you! Welcome to G'wenee!” he said looking at the other female Acolyte, his arm still linked to Malou’s. Senin never met the Firrerreo before, he only knew that she was an apprentice of Lord Stolas. So he refrained from hugging her. Senin just hoped that she would not be a spoiled brat, he really didn’t want to play the baby-sitter. “The chauffeur of my family is waiting outside to take us to the beach house where we are going to stay. Me sigam!” he started to walk to where the speeder was parked, while dragging Malou with him. “"Mina, you will sit near me. I have so much to talk with you since the last time that we saw each other.” After they entered it, the vehicle started to move. During the entire trip, Senin would try to talk with the Miralukan about various things, from their families to their Masters. He really appreciated how she seemed to like listening to him, but he tried to make her talk too.

After some time, the speeder stopped in front of the Ravelo's beach house. It had two floors, five suites, a swimming pool, a foyer and a room to watch the Holonet. From the house it was possible to see the beach. While leaving the speeder, Senin noticed a boy in front of the door. At first he thought it was strange, but soon he remembered that two acolytes had told him they were going to arrive early and go straight to the house. “Hello! You must be Soren. It’s a pleasure to meet you, mano!” he looked around, searching for the other Acolyte “No one else arrived with you?”

Before he could have an answer, a young female Togruta arrived carrying a surfboard. This was something he had never seen before. She presented herself as the Acolyte Ashla “It’s a pleasure to meet you!” he said to the Togruta. He was impressed with how she seemed to be excited about surfing “There will be a surfing competition tomorrow, perhaps you would like to participate.”

With everyone there, he decided that it was time to enter the house.”Galera, welcome to my house!” Senin said while crossing the door. While he walked in the foyer, the young man removed his t-shirt, revealing his swimmer-like upper body. He really did not care if it would shock the others, they are in G’weene one of the few planets in the Galaxy where is normal to walk half naked in the streets during the summer. “There are five bedrooms on the second floor. You can leave your things in any of them and change to your swimsuits. When you finish, we will meet here to go to the beach.” then he climbed the stairs and went to his bedroom. There he changed into shorts.

Back to the foyer, Senin would wait for some minutes until all the other Acolytes returned. “Partiu praia!” he would say when all of them were at the foyer, then the young man would start to guide the group to the beach, where the Ravelo’s servant had prepared a tent for them.

[Soren Shaggelian]

The excitement was clear in Senin, and Ashla. As for the two other females, it was hard to say. They seemed stand offish. Especially the one covering her eyes. She must be Miralukan. Not many others know the skill of force sight. Definitely an interesting personality trait. As for Aadya, he figured she was more of a respectful guest as opposed to the coming on too strong type of gig. All of the others had their own personalities, and customs. It was interesting to see at first glance. Maybe a couple extra glances as well seeing how everyone seemed to feature a lot of different attractive qualities. Whether it was beauty or mystery.

Then again, it was a little early to make assumptions yet.

Senin had then greeted himself and guessed Soren's name.

"Yes."

If there was anything to know about Soren is that he tends to get side tracked by attractive individuals and he feels like the bachelor right now. No, he wasn't going to make it obvious he was enjoying this, but he wasn't going to not enjoy it. He kept a soft genuine smile on his lips as he listened to everyone speak. He may not speak a lot himself but he enjoyed the way others spoke. So many different accents and cultures. He loved it.

"Good to meet you all."

After his returned greeting, he walked inside after Senin and made it to a bathroom where he would change into his own set of swimming trunks for the beach day. It didn't take long as he walked out and set his shorts into his bag. Setting the bag down after sipping it shut he waited for any others to finish by sitting on the couch in the main room. Once Senin had finsished and the ladies were ready, it was time to head to the beach.

[Aadya Rasheer]

When Senin started interacting with Malou, Aadya felt even more out of place than she had before. There was something about the man that she just found.. off, but couldn't quite put her finger on it. Thankful that at least someone she knew had also arrived, Aadya stuck close to Ashla once they all had piled into the limousine.

Once they arrived at the beach house and Senin explained the room situation, Aadya gave Ashla little time to make her own decisions. Grabbing the Togruta by the hand, Aadya almost literally drug her up the stairs to one of the rooms.

That Senin dude seems kind of weird. Bunk with me, please? She asked before dumping the one bag she'd brought with other clothes and things onto the bed. You can't say no to your sister! Aadya's tone was playful despite still feeling a little weird about the whole "sister" thing, but she was willing to play into it.

Since she was already wearing her swimwear, Aadya wouldn't take long before returning back down to the foyer to wait with the others. Approaching Soren, Aadya would give him a small wave and flash a smile.

Pretty nice place. Never seen you before - recent convert? She asked curiously.

@LouJoVi @lizziie @Wit @Scoobert

 

[Ashla Ti]

Ashla, with little more in her possession other than the surf-board she had purchased, and already in her swim-wear, had been a little lost when Senin had asked them to go drop off their things in the rooms and to change. She had been planning to just stand awkwardly, give the help-staff uncertain smiles, and just spread uncomfortable vibes till everyone returned. But then Aadya dragged her along and took the issue off the table.

"Sure," she replied to Aadya's request, coming to a stop inside the room and taking it in, it was a much more elaborate and ostentatious affair than anything she was used to. She was glad she had mostly dried off after her time in the water, she would not want to spill sea-water all over this fancy carpet. "but what do you mean weird?" That had drawn her interest, she had seen her share of weird during and since her time with the cadre, but she was yet to come to terms with the rank and file members of the Sith Order and what would constitute as weird. "Does he play with his targets before killing them? Or is he one of those crazy people they show on the holo-net who stalk their neighbors to steal their books and then kill them? he doesn't eat them, does he? That's just gross."

The questions continued as they descended back to the foyer, and as Aadya struck a conversation with Soren, Ashla made her way to where her surf-board rested against the wall and shoo'd away the droid that was trying to dry it out with a wash cloth that seemed more expensive than everything she owned.

[Malou D'Amaris]

Malou gave Senin an awkward smile as he pulled herself into a tight embrace. The girl was still getting used to his affinity for physical affection, something she was entirely unused to from anyone. Even her cousins and "friends" on Serenno were fairly standoffish, though Manon was an exception. It wasn't unappreciated though; it was just different.

Before Senin dragged her along with him to the chauffeur, Malou would take a quick moment to introduce herself to Aadya. "My name is Malou, nice to meet you." It was meant to be casual, but had an edge of formality that the Serennian noble had yet to find a way to shake. It came too with a smile, but before she could continue she was forced to follow along with Senin.

On their way back to Senin's home, Malou would listen quietly while he went on about whatever it was he went on about, giving him short answers whenever he asked something of her. Her mind wandered a bit during this time, and she thought about various things like her first impression of Aadya and whether or not she thought she would like the beach. Though she had not said anything about it, she liked the other acolyte's swimsuit.

When they finally arrived at his home, Malou introduced herself to both Soren and Ashla, then made her way off to find a room. Like both Aadya and Ashla, she had already come in her suit, so after choosing a room and setting down her other things she just made her way right back down to where they had all arrived before hand. Malou made notes of the house as she walked back, noting how modern it was compared to her childhood home. 'Modern and new.' It was probably considered prime real estate, as well. Her home had modern amenities, but the house itself had been in her family for centuries. New buildings like this had an air to them that she could not quite put her finger on.

Since Aadya had approached Senin to chat, Malou took the opportunity to talk with someone other than him. The blindfolded teen shifted her way over to the surfboard-wielding Togruta and began to walk quietly next to her after she retrieved her board from the droid. After a moment or two, she would ask "Ashla right?" then "How long have you been with the Order?" The Togruta seemed to be a tad bit older than Malou, so she wouldn't be surprised if she was a few years into her training. 'I'm...how many months now? Has it been a year?' Regardless, Malou was still relatively new to the Order and to her training. She certainly wouldn't mind making connections with other acolytes who could potentially give her a window into new knowledge.

[Senin Ravelo]

While he guided the other Acolytes to the beach, Senin noticed that they started to talk with each other. Aadya was talking with Soren, while Malou was with Ashla. The G'weneen wanted to talk with the other boy of the group, but gave up because of the Firrerreo presence. Aadya seemed to be the type of arrogant brat that he hated. So the young man decided to join the Miralukan and the Togruta.

"Is Ashla, right?” he said to the Togruta “You seem to have really enjoyed surfing. We could go watch the competition tomorrow. I heard that several professional surfers will participate. Vai ser maneiro!” Senin wasn’t that much interested in this sport, but he would make a sacrifice for the sake of making allies. Then he turned to Malou “Mina, you are so hot with these flames! This swimsuit fits you so well” the young man said while winking at the Miralukan. It wasn’t a joke, she was really beautiful in this swimsuit.

After walking a few minutes, they arrived at the beach. The blue sea stretched to the horizon and the ocean breeze blew over them, bringing small salty droplets. The beach was already full of sentient beings, all in bathing suits. Thankfully, the Ravelo’s servants arrived early to prepare for them a white-colored canopy. Protected by its shade, were everything they would need for a day at the beach.

Senin stopped at the beginning of the sand and turned to the others, with his arms outstretched “Galera, welcome to the beach!” he said smiling. Then he dropped his arms and looked at the white sand. One of the few bad things about the beach is the necessity of walking through the hot sand “I suggest you to run to the canopy, the sand must be hot like Sullust's lava.” without waiting for an answer he started to run, even with his sandals the Acolyte still felt how hot it was.

@Scoobert @Logan @Wit @lizziie

 

[Soren Shaggelian]

While he sat waiting, one of the girls came and sat with him. This was unexpected but very much welcome. Although he would be shy he really liked that the others were open to him. At least enough to chance a conversation with a stranger. Her voice came out elegantly and had so much beauty to it, definitely something most women lacked. She seemed like an alright kind of person, now all Soren had to do was keep the conversation going.

His eyes still locked on hers, and his heart giving a soft race, and the feeling of butterflies. Now would be a good time to mention.. Soren never really talked to a girl before. At least not one that was his age or close to. Hopefully he doesn't mess anything up.

"Yea, I finished all of the initial training not too long ago. Just waiting on my actual Master to come along. What about you? Practice the force long?"

That went well.. maybe. I think it went well anyway. Hopefully she doesn't think I'm weird. Oh no.. am I weird?

While he was contemplating his thoughts, his face would remain with his closed smile and his eyes focused on Aadya. He was remaining calm on the outside at least. He didn't want to run the first girl he talked to off. That would be a terrible start. After a short conversation Senin had finally come out and drug everyone out to the beach. Soren would stand up and give Aadya a smile as he scratched the back of his head.

"Guess we should go have some fun huh?"

Go have some fun? That was the best you could come up with? What a joke..

Soren then motioned to the door politely and said,

"Ladies first."

With that he would follow outside to see the beach of G'wenee. It was a striking sight, though the ground was definitely hot. Soren would go to walk on the sand thinking that Senin was overexaggerating, but he had come quick to learn that the grounds were burning more than a pile of dead grass soaked in gasoline. Immediately reacting he would do the foot shift of lifting one leg up then putting the other down on repeat for a few seconds before running forward as fast as he could to meet the rest of the group.

[Ashla Ti]

As Ashla returned with her board, she noticed Aadya was conversing with one of the other acolytes. She was about to figure out what to do when one of the others approached her.

"Yes," she replied with a smile, about to reach out a hand to shake with the other acolyte when she realized she needed them to keep the board steady and prevent it from bonking her new acquittance in the face, "and you're Malou right?" She paused when she heard Malou's question, trying to figure out the right answer for her. "Well, technically speaking I've been an acolyte for close to a year now. But before that I was part of uh....you can call it a special training program for around twelve years. I don't really know if that counts, I was training under a Sith, and he did teach me how to kill and torture, and all sorts of horrible things. But I don't really think I was taught what it really means to be a Sith. You know what I mean?"

Before Malou could answer though, Senin joined the duo and introduced himself, and him mentioning a surfing contest caught her attention. "Of course! I am sure that will be absolutely divine!" She wasn't really sure if that was the right way to use that expression, but Senin seemed like he had a more refined background, and she had seen on a holonet program that they used some rather odd phrases.

Once they were at the beach, Ashla would flash a wide grin towards Senin and Malou and start running for the water with surfboard in hand. "Come on, aren't you supposed to enjoy the water when at the beach?"

@Logan @LouJoVi @Scoobert @lizziie

 

[Malou D'Amaris]

'An acolyte for close to a year now...' So they were pretty much in the same boat, Malou concluded. This was immediately disproven by Ashla's next statement in which she revealed she had been training under Sith for over twelve years. What had been excitement at meeting someone around her same level quickly soured to disappointment, though none of it showed on her covered face. Then she claimed she didn't think she was taught what it meant to be Sith. 'Do I know what she means?' Malou pondered for a moment and went to answer, but before she could, Senin rejoined her and jumped into the conversation.

His compliment threw Malou off immediately. 'Hot?' Malou, though she did not move her head to do so, looked upon her self. Her swimsuit was, as many swimsuits are, a tight fit. It revealed shape and curve which was usually covered by thick robes or dresses which didn't cling to her shape. Malou had always been somewhat uncomfortable with the idea of wearing things that showed off her body, but the more time she spent away from home, she grew to have less reservations about it. Still, the acolyte pulled her cover up around her shoulders so it would hide her swimsuit for now. 'What an...odd thing to say.' It was Senin though. He was very out there in general, so the Miralukan girl didn't mind as much as she might've otherwise.

Rather than run to keep up with the two who had dashed off, Malou simply continued at the same pace through the sand. With minimal concentration she was able to feel the heat that burned her feet and push it away, leaving cool sand under her feet as she made her way across. Pyrokinesis, which she had been instructed by Artorgias to spent significant time training with, had other applications that weren't bursts of flame. She could amplify or diminish heat, so as she walked across the burning hot sand, it was not a problem.

"I've only ever been swimming twice," Malou stated when she finally caught up to Senin and Ashla. "Never at a beach though."
