[Open] Let's go (back) to the beach!

[tantailizing]

🧙 WHO: Everyone invited by this network post
⚔️️ WHAT: Throwing Colette a birthday party!
🕒 WHEN: June 19th
🗺️ WHERE: Beach near Camelot City
⚠️ WARNINGS: It's Colette's Birthday. No getting out of hand, but warnings will be added if they must.

Sunny, clear, bright with calm, but visible waves, all those perfect conditions for a day at the beach.

... Really, he'd been checking to make sure. Meanwhile, he had to trust nothing would happen since Camelot was still right there. Just one day, one day of things staying normal with no interruptions was all he was asking.

Anyway, rental grill and table? Check.

Beach umbrellas? Check.

Extra towels? Check.

Beach balls, floating rings, basically things that said 'beach fun'? Check, check, aannd check!

While Zidane had the bowls, water, and toys for the dogs, Eustace was supplying what they ate (which was for the best), and he's making sure to keep them away from the disposable plates and cold foods so no mistakes were made. If anyone wanted alcohol? Well, that wasn't available - Zidane's only packed water, juice, and some assorted carbonated beverages for those that wanted it. BYOB if one really needs it - heck, he has some pizza on order later for people who'd rather that than the fruits, vegetables, or meat he's cooking up.

All-in-all, should be enough for people to chill out, have fun, and save room for the ice cream cake once it was time to sing 'Happy Birthday'!

[OOC: Dog beach birthday party fun! Heads up, I'll try tagging everyone that top-levels with Zidane since he's hosting so if you don't want a tag, just tell me. Also, have any specific questions? Also hit me up at demidemonLove. Just final note: blue decorations, and plants present courtesy of Aerith!]

Oh I'm sure you already know what. You were glaring at me because of it.

[flamekthunder]

So you know what you shouldn't be encouraging.

[Eustace places a firm but affectionate hand on the whining dog.]

Spoil them too much and they'll learn bad habits that will it harder for them to be adopted.

[tantailizing]

Don't worry, I'm not trying to. If I could talk to them, I'd tell them we only get to eat bad for special occasions.

[flamekthunder]

Hmph. Even if you did, dogs are stubborn and will try to get their way, anyway.

[tantailizing]

... So how hard is it for you to not cave?

[Eustace, how often do you spoil them?]

[flamekthunder]

...

[Just a frown.]

I'm not that easy.

[tantailizing]

Uh huh... coming from the guy who couldn't eat his rice at the cafe...

[flamekthunder]

That's completely different.

[tantailizing]

Not that different when your decision comes down to both being cute.

[flamekthunder]

One involves having to consume something and thus destroying a culinary masterpiece. The other is feeding dogs food, that is completely different.

[tantailizing]

[Stares.... staaares...]

... Just warn me when you treat them so I don't give them more.

[flamekthunder]

[He just makes a small noise of discontent before sighing.]

If you really want to give them treats and they haven't had too much, at least make them do a command first. Sitting, waiting, anything simple. And only give one, not a handful.

[tantailizing]

I wasn't giving them a handful...

[Did he end up handing out a handful though? He might've lost tract.]

But okay, commands before any treats.

[flamekthunder]

And don't give it to them if they beg, just ignore them.

[Is Zidane about to get a lecture on how to take care of dogs? Maybe.]

[tantailizing]

Got it, got it...

[Zidane's not good at focusing on lectures. Also, they still had dogs with them that needed at least pets. Pet, pet, pet...]

[flamekthunder]

[HEAVY STARING.]

[tantailizing]

[Yeah, this is about the time the Boss might give him a thump on the head.]

... I'm still listening.

[flamekthunder]

[JUST MORE STARING......

Before he just sighs and let's it go.]

As long as you understand.

[tantailizing]

Yeah, I got it. Don't overfeed the dogs junk food, and if you do, only a little on occasion. Also, don't give in if they beg and only reward them if they follow commands.

[flamekthunder]

[Just going to look at Zidane with some doubt...but good enough.]

I'll take this one back with me and let you get back to cooking.

[tantailizing]

Alright! By the way, you want anything grilled up?

[One sec, even he knows he has to wash his hands to handle food, okay? Or at least clean them off enough.]

[flamekthunder]

I have no real preference, so whatever you already planned on making will be fine.

[tantailizing]

Alright. I'll call you back over when it's done.

[flamekthunder]

[A small nod as he begins to herd the dogs away. Come now shoo shoo.]
