[...okay, so when was the last time he did this? Three years ago? ...ha. Right. It's really been three years since he came to Luceti.

Well, after a few moments of just staring into the journal, Riku clears his throat and decides to speak up.]

You know, it's been three years since I came here, but it feels like I'm just going through the motions. Everything's just so routine. Maybe I'm just not making enough effort to shake things up. Hard to say, but...

[Heh.]

Okay, you know what? I think I should just get to the point. So... yeah, name's Riku, and I'd say I'm in need of some friends. Yes, Kairi, I'm actually doing this by choice this time.

[Because last time was just awkward.]

And for anyone else who's been here a while, got any pointers for keeping busy long term? I know at least some of you keep pretty busy. Heck, if any newcomers have pointers, I'll take just about anything right now.

[OOC: WARNING. Thread with Ino veers slightly into nsfw territory.]

[Ino arrives shortly after, wearing what she usually does when she goes out to the beach - a purple see-through shirt that exposes her bra underneath and short shorts. She has a small bag with her, too, that also has essentials. Spotting Riku from afar, she calls out.]

Hey there, handsome!

Hey yourself.

[And once he spots her, he'll go ahead and head over to her in order to meet her halfway.]

Don't you agree on what I called you?

[She quickens her pace a bit so they can meet faster, slinging her bag securely on her back.]

And here I was trying to be modest.

[He smirks. One of these days, he'll totally give her a similar compliment just to see what she does.]

Even if it's true?

[She'll probably blush like a ripe tomato! In any case, when Ino's finally right in front of him, she kisses his cheek in greeting before patting the spot she pecked.]

Heh. Well, if that's what you think, then it has to be.

[But hmm, a cheek peck? He'll do her one better, giving her a quick kiss on the lips.]

So, you all set?

[Even with all the kisses they had already shared, receiving one from Riku always makes her melt and blush brightly. She gives him a small smile of appreciation, though.]

Yup. Let's go~ [In response to that kiss, Ino grabs his hand and holds it securely. Yeah, she's all about showing off her man.]

[Then it's time to march in the direction of the good ol' teleporter, so they can make their beach day a great big hit. Naturally, he'll hold onto her hand just as securely. No point in hiding the fact that they're a thing.]

[While walking to the direction of the teleporter, Ino smiles at him as she starts some small talk.] I take it you're excited?

Hey, how could I not be? It's a nice day, I've got you here...

[...Guh, sappiness. It's not something he's used to, but he's still managing to keep a straight face.]

Plus, it's been way too cold to visit the beach. About time it started heating up.

[Okay, you really know how to make Ino blush, Riku.]

I know, right? I've been wanting to go to the beach with you again ever since we began dating. [Or maybe even before they became official?]

[Hey, at least he's being sincere! That's gotta count for something...

Except now it's time to tease again.]

And I know exactly why.

[It's said in a rather sly tone... and then he just laughs.]

But seriously, it should be fun. Sure beats dealing with another three months of snow, anyway.

[Ino laughs at that sly tone. Oh, Riku. She knows what you mean.]

Well, that's true. I wouldn't be able to wear comfy clothes for a while when that starts.

Well, we might as well make the most of it while it lasts. At least we've got a few months to work with.

[And it'll only get hotter and sunnier as the days go on.]

Do I smell a frequent beach outing, then?

[She wouldn't oppose to this, but she's mostly just teasing.]

If you're up for it, anyway.

[Said with a totally straight face, too. He's serious about this.]

[Yup, she can tell he is, so Ino just gives him a wink.]

Of course, I am. I'm starting to feel that you're spoiling me too much, though. [Which isn't a bad thing, surely.]

C'mon, I know you like it.

[He nudges her lightly.]

[A giggle as a light blush forms on her cheeks.] You know me far too well.

Hey, I pay attention.

[Anyway, they should be reaching that teleporter soon, which means the beach is right around the corner!]

And that's why I really like you.

[Yup! Ino can see it from here now. Look at how excited she's becoming as she points towards their destination.] Look at all that sand!

Well, it is a beach.

[Time to find the perfect spot to kick back, though. Hmmm...]

[She snorts and playfully elbows him.]

I know that. I just didn't know I'd miss it like this.

Well, no need to miss it now. We've got a good three months to enjoy ourselves.

[But, ha, he'll elbow her right back.]

That's true. Plus, I have you with me. [That makes it all the better. Have a kiss on the cheek to communicate that, handsome.]
