[ rng says the terrible burning sands of the artifical beach await them.
which isn't the worst place they could be, honestly. the temperature is currently not terrible? there are snacks? and an entire ocean over there? this is a step up from the miserable cells of a few weeks ago.
the bathing suit options though? not so much. ]
Oh come on, this is just asking for trouble. [ he's holding a truly weird pair of swim trunks. they look about four sizes too big. a lot of them look like they could be too big? or just truly terrible.
date is just staring at them. ]
... No, I'm not sure I want to go swimming in Hell's Ocean, actually.
[ isn't that kind of your job description, minus the tentacles?
anyway, this takes... maybe a moment longer than it should, but finally he emerges in his baggy trunks and t-shirt, with a towel draped around his arms like a stole, which isn't weird at all. ]
How many regular human criminals do you know that have tentacles? [ … ] Actually don’t answer that, I’m not sure if I want to know or not.
[ criminals are a slimy as sea creatures though, so there’s that.
date takes one last long look at the mystery man on his trunks — they will remain a mystery, forever. and then he shrugs and makes his own way into the changing room.
it’s going to take him a hot minute as well — he doesn’t have a towel to drape around himself, or a t-shirt he just has the trunks and a lack of self preservation in the face of hell sun.
he probably looks like a 90s rap video, these trunks are only hanging on in there by the sheer determination of the ties around the waist. there’s a distinct chance a hefty gust of wind could cause a minor marilyn monroe moment.
That mystery man should be honored to be a part of such a stunning sight.
[ and actually that reminds him to grab some shades (which clash pretty horribly with patrick's shade of pink) off a rack for himself before they leave.
he slides them on and looks around for a moment. ]
...You know, everything really does look more pleasant through these!

glancing over... ]
Who is that?
[ he shakes his head. ]
Well, at least they should technically stay on if you tie the drawstring tight enough...
[ no guarantees about other malfunctions that might result from the oversized leg holes, though. ]
no subject
I have no clue. They're not some kind of celebrity then?
[ he glances up over the comically huge swim trunks at mephisto in HIS comically huge swim trunks and just.
lmao. ]
The beach isn't going to be able to handle all this style, steady on.
no subject
The face seems a little familiar, but I'm not sure if I've seen it before or if he just happens to have a generic celebrity look.
[ anyway!! he does a little twirl with the spongebob trunks held high. ]
Pretty impressive, right? I'm sure we'll send the krakens jet-propelling themselves away in shame.
no subject
[ he turns the trunks to Look at this mystery man. who are you? (it's a random stock photo). who ARE you?
oh well the twirl gets appropriate slow clap applause. ]
Very impressive. But they'll see you coming a mile off, so maybe prepare for that.

You’ve met our new friend in the bar here, right? Hopefully your audience won’t be related.
no subject
These aren't my first krakens.
no subject
Alright, alright. Not everyone fights evil — with or without tentacles — for a living.
no subject
Aren't you a cop or something?
[ isn't that kind of your job description, minus the tentacles?

Your turn!

and a stylish pair of sunglasses which are absolutely on his face when he emerges.

[ he squints through his. ]
Mine are just making everything look dim. [ … ] Hang on.
[ he’s going back in to find a better pair give him a moment. ]
no subject
[ moment granted, he'll look at dumb beach hats. ]
no subject
Yeah? Do you still see another weekend of nine hour trials and executions with them on? Asking for a friend.
[ the friend is him. ]
no subject
[ a bit of a head tilt as he looks over the new glasses. ]
Those are fun. Do they come in blue?
no subject
[ HE WISHES THEY COULD DO THAT but his conscience won't let him not invetigate for the truth.
he looks over them like he's in mean girls. ]
Yeah, there's... [ mentally counting ] So many colours. I definitely saw light blue and darker blue ones.
no subject
[ solely to be an absolute bitch and troll yukio if he can take them with them. ]
Well, are we ready? I grabbed a few snacks from the convenience store on the way over.
no subject
[ yeah he's definitely grabbing like four more so he can just show up to school events with them on and make mizuki yell at him. ]
Sure. If we squint really hard maybe we'll forget we're literally on the beaches of hell. [ yaaaay beach break. nothing wrong here. ]
