[He'll become the sword version of Ariel, it'll be great fun until he finds a climate that he hates and then it'll just be nonstop complaint central.]

We'll make a list! That way we can keep track of everything we wanna try out. There's sundaes and soft-serve and rootbeer floats, too - that's not even counting all the other stuff that can just be frozen for fun, like the fruits. Nice, huh?

[majinken]

[at leat they'll probably complain together, since stahn is really only good with temperate weather, mostly.]

Yeah! We can make a list and then when we think of more things, we can always add to it! I saw a stand nearby that had... ice cream in sandwiches too!

[a big cookie ice cream sandwich, actually, but stahn was too busy being amazed at ice cream in sandwich form to take note of that.]

[sharplydressed]

[The more sugar crammed into one treat, the better.]

Eh, really? I don't think I've ever seen 'em sold in stands before... Let's go take a look!

[Fortunately the beach is pretty empty at this hour and day, so it's not like chances are high that someone's gonna run by and steal their watermelon and food and towels... Kashuu's already standing up, grabbing a widebrim hat to cram on his head so the sun can't get him even after he steps out from under the umbrella.]

[majinken]

Yeah! They had a lot of different things, but I never saw ice cream in sandwiches before!

[stahn is stahn, so he's trusting enough even if there is a crowd of people to leave their belongings behind. of course, first comes standing and...

shaking some of the sand out of his hair. oops.

he doesn't seem to mind the sun exposure... but too much sand in his hair? no thanks. he'll be washing it out for a week as it is.]

[sharplydressed]

[Since it's kinda-sorta his fault (or definitely his fault) that Stahn ran over so fast and thus got that sand in his hair in the first place, he'll reach out to hopefully help pat some of it away, too.]

Geez, your hair's like some kinda trap...

[Ensnaring all that wanders too close.]

D'you need a tie?

[majinken]

[it just can't be helped, he has so much hair that there's no avoiding getting sand in. especially since he kind of flopped against it when he got there.]

...Do you have one? [for some reason, he's not expecting kashuu to be that prepared. even though it's kashuu, and even though that definitely can tie into #aesthetic.

good job, stahn.]

[sharplydressed]

[It totally ties into #aesthetic, and Kashuu immediately starts rummaging around in his beach tote...]

What color d'you want?

[Because of course does he not only have a tie, but he has Multiple in Many Colors. The handful he pulls out has reds and pinks and blacks and whites, but there are some blues, greens and purples mixed in too. Why is he like this.]

[majinken]

Whoa... amazing! You have so many!

[of course, stahn is also terrible at aesthetics by normal fashion standards because he truly comes from the strange world of super 90s character design.

so even though his swim trunks are a very typical blue and white pattern, he reaches out pretty thoughtlessly for a red hair tie.

because you know. who needs to match their hair tie to their attire?]

This should work! Thanks, Kashuu!

[sharplydressed]

[The real questions here that Kashuu asks himself every day essentially just boil down to: why am I surrounded by these people? Just! A red tie!! With blue trunks!! Exhausting.

And while normally this would be a completely miniscule oversight to any normal person, or at least something that they could let go of, this is Kashuu. Kashuu "actual moron" Kiyomitsu.]

You sure you want that one?

[majinken]

[and of course, stahn is completely and totally oblivious. it's not even a miniscule oversight—it's a whole and complete one for stahn.]

Eh? Is there something wrong with it? [he's looking at the hair tie very closely. what's wrong with the one he picked? kashuu offered it!]

[sharplydressed]

Don't you think it might be a little, y'know... clashy?

[GESTURING toward his very blue trunks and then the very red tie.]

Those colors work good as a pair but not as a combo in an outfit.

[majinken]

[this is something stahn has literally never thought about before. he wears blues and greens and whites and purples all at once, so color coordination is definitely not something stahn thinks hard about.]

Is it bad? I didn't think it mattered when it's just a hair tie. [will anyone even be able to see it?

(will anyone even care but kashuu?)]

[sharplydressed]

[No one will care but Kashuu, probably. But Kashuu will also care so much that it'll make up for anyone who doesn't...]

You're out on the beach! Tons of people will be here eventually, probably, so you should look your best.

[He's already fishing around for another hair tie?! The beach isn't even that full, someone tell his ass to settle down.]

What about something like - oh, this white! That'd match.

[majinken]

Am I trying... to impress someone?

[he's really confused, they're at the beach, sure. but what does that have to do with how he looks? why does he need to look his best when they're there to just hang out and go swimming?

kashuu aesthetic is something that really baffles stahn sometimes.

either way...]

White's okay too, I guess. As long as it ties my hair back...

[sharplydressed]

Maybe we should get you something cute to put in your hair too, while you have it up like that...

[Meanwhile, his ass completely ignores the first question since clearly Stahn's joking! "Am I trying to impress anyone", he says, like the entire world isn't a stage waiting to be impressed. Gosh, that Stahn, so funny.]

Ooh, maybe you could do a braid someday, too. Like one of those beach styles! You'd let me style your hair again, right?

[RIGHT, STAHN, RIGHT.]

[majinken]

A beach.... style braid?

[kashuu, he doesn't even know what that is.]

That sounds like a lot, ahahah....

[even if he trusts kashuu to not destroy his hair, after the last hair-styling experience, he's still wary. he's truly too simple a soul for this life.]

[sharplydressed]

[Meanwhile, Kashuu is already getting swept away by visions of loose and chic braids with stupid little beach trinket-y decorations that would totally put Ariel and her sisters to shame... Maybe he can go scouting later and find some nice sea shells, even! Yes, a good plan, good work Kashuu.]

It's not! The whole point of beach-style stuff is to look good without actually putting a lot of effort into it. Or, like... at least make it look like you didn't put a lot of effort into it.

[Welcome to yet another side of the wild world of fashion, Stahn.]

[majinken]

Wouldn't it be easier to not put a lot of effort in if you're trying to look like... you're not putting effort in?

[he doesn't get this at all. he's asking so sincerely because the concept of putting a lot of effort into looking like minimal effort was done just for... a hairstyle is...

weird?

stahn definitely does not get this kind of fashion thing at all.]

[sharplydressed]

[DOES ANYONE REALLY. Not even Kashuu gets it, probably - he just knows it's the hip cool thing for trendy people to do, and so he is here for it.]

No way! There's totally a difference between actually not putting any effort in and just making it look effortless. Like... bedhead versus super messy, pretty and relaxed curls!

[majinken]

...I don't think I get this at all, Kashuu...

[this is just confusing him even more, honestly. it sounds like way too much work to him.]

[sharplydressed]

[It's too much work, no normal person would go through all of this trouble and yet here Kashuu is.]

I'll show you someday, okay? When you let me do your hair again.

[Just stating it like it's definitely going to happen RIP IN REST, STAHN.]

A-ny-way! If you don't wanna do it now, that's fine - let's go check out that food before it gets bought up by everyone else!

[majinken]

[there's definitely A Face that he makes at the thought of having his hair done—he's so not prepared for this life yet.

it's definitely better to focus on the other stuff for now—at least stahn is easily distracted enough that he won't be dwelling on it.]

Oh, right! We don't want to miss any of it!

[that would be the real tragedy today, apparently.]

[sharplydressed]

[It's the most unfortunate side effect of being friends with Kashuu - having to deal with his Literal Nonstop Fashion Parade.

But he's easily distracted too, at least, so there's that!]

People always get the good flavors so fast, y'know?

[He complains, while planning to snatch up the good flavors himself... He'll also stop several times on the walk to readjust his sandals and beach sleeves (which he is totally still wearing because sunburn is the skin's enemy!!) though, so he's not the fastest-moving beach-goer...]

[majinken]

[stahn, on the other hand... is easily clad in just swim trunks without very much care for what the sun may do to him.

(he's wearing sunscreen, it's fine??)

he's got his flip-flops and he's just casually enjoying it all, patient enough with kashuu needed to stop. it doesn't bother him.]

I wonder what flavors they'll even have. I didn't get a good look at it since I was running!

[sharplydressed]

[SUNSCREEN IS ALL ONE REALLY NEEDS unless they're Kashuu "anyone who sees me naked will die" Kiyomitsu.]

They'd better at least have strawberry and peach.

[AND LO, once they get there, that's exactly what they have!! ...And like, fifty other flavors, honestly. This is one well-stocked cart. Kashuu's almost intimidated?!]

Woah... How are we supposed to choose from this?
