Beach Bash Event

The Beach Bash Event is a summer-themed Parallel Event in Crush Crush, first taking place from July 20 to July 26, 2023, spanning a total of six days. It rewarded Kira as a dateable character. In following reruns, a new character was introduced as a reward - Shelly in June 2024.

As this event takes place within a Parallel Universe, things such as Time Blocks, Speed Boosts, Hobbies and other things are reset, meaning you start from scratch and work your way from the ground up.

This Event features "Goals", which can be completed in order to earn various items and boosts that are helpful in progressing further in the event, such as Speed Boosts, Time Skips, Time Blocks, Money, and Beach Balls. Additionally, some goals offer rewards for the Main Game, such as an Event Achievement and an array of outfits. If you complete every Goal before the event ends, you will be able to unlock the grand prize: a fully date-able Girl for the Main Game.

Cutscenes

Opening Cutscene

Upon entering the Event, you're greeted with an opening cutscene/dialogue which plays out as the following:

(You find yourself somewhere both familiar and not familiar. It's almost like you've stepped into...)
(A PARALLEL UNIVERSE!)
(The sun is shining, hot and bright. In the distance you can hear the tell-tale musical sound of an ice-cream truck. The sea glistens nearby, and there's laughter coming from the beach.)
(Excited, you race towards the water... Only to accidentally trip over someone's sandcastle!)
Iro: "Hey, watch it!"
(Whoops! You feel pretty bad... But at the same time, helping a cute beach babe fix her sandcastle sounds like a fantastic way to spend an afternoon!)

You then exit the Dialogue, and are greeted by Q-Piddy explaining the event:

Welcome to the Beach Bash Event! This limited-time event takes place in a parallel universe filled with sun, sand, and surf. It's downright tropical!
In this universe, all your summer jobs and beachy hobbies start at level 0. The same goes for any girls you meet, and they'll pay out Beach Balls as you get to know them!
Make sure you spend your Beach Balls while you can! Since Beach Balls can't travel between universes, you won't be able to keep them once the Beach Bash Event ends.
The good news is, Diamonds CAN travel between universes! That means your Diamonds are shared between the Beach Bash Event and your main game.
By the way, you'll earn rewards based on the progress you make during the Beach Bash Event. You can claim your rewards in the "Goals" tab.
Throughout the event, any Outfits or Character rewards you earn will travel back through the portal with you to your main game.
Just remember, Speed Boosts, Time Blocks, and Beach Balls CAN'T travel back with you, so spend them before the timer runs out!
You can return to the main game any time by going to the "Return" tab!
That about covers it. Have fun, and enjoy the Beach Bash Event!

Ending Cutscene

When Kira is the event reward

(It's the longest day of the year, and finally time for the Paradise Beach Bash. You've never had so much fun.)
(The beach really is a paradise. You dance, hula hoop, and limbo to the tropical music, cheered on by Roxxy. You and Nova sip on fruity drinks with tiny umbrellas in them, wearing sunglasses and feeling cool.)
(After winning the sandcastle competition, Iro builds you a sand-throne and declares you sand-royalty.)
(Shibuki and Sutra drag you into the surf where you frolic and play, and later, even Lustat closes up shop to join you and Kira in watching the late-night sunset!)
(You drink up every moment of this perfect summer utopia, until the sky finally darkens and you feel the portal calling you home.)
(You bid the beach farewell as the portal closes around you, and... What's that out of the corner of your eye? Was that a girl jumping in after you...!?)

When Shelly is the event reward

(It's the longest day of the year, and finally time for the Paradise Beach Bash. You've never had so much fun.)

(Shibuki and Sutra drag you into the surf where you frolic and play, and later, even Lustat closes up shop to join you and Shelly in watching the late-night sunset! The beach has never looked so sparkling clean...)
(You drink up every moment of this perfect summer utopia, until the sky finally darkens and you feel the portal calling you home.)
(As the portal closes around you, you see Shelly waving goodbye. You can't help but wonder... will you ever see her again?)

When Nixie is the event reward

(It's the longest day of the year, and finally time for the Paradise Beach Bash. You've never had so much fun.)

Iro

Adversary

Rest in peace, Rainbow Friendship Pony Funcastle... You were too good for this world... er, beach.

Sorry

Don't say sorry to me, say it to my sandcastle. Oh that's right, you can't, because it's been flattened! Also, it has no ears...
I'm not gonna lie, I'm pretty miffed. On a scale of 1 to 10, I'm 'zebrafish'. The scale is broken, in other words.
In all fairness though, that was really just a warm-up castle. The one I'm making for the competition is going to be wayyyyy bigger and better. So like, I'm actually totally fine?
My type? An athlete, obviously! Someone who can keep up with me, hang ten with me, carry me on their shoulders in the water... Er, you get the idea.

Poke

Ahh! No no no! Every time someone tickles me, I accidentally round house kick them in the face! Beware!

Gift

Listen, I'll level with you. This is about as appealing to me as a half-melted popsicle with sand stuck to it. Please up your gift game.

Upgrade to Nuisance

What is it, hurricane? I've got sand in my bikini bottoms and I'm looking for something squishy to punch. You ever want to be a human stressball?
Hahaha! What? Seriously? No no, that's okay. I'm not gonna hit you. Way to take one for the team though. The name's Iro, nice to meet ya.

Nuisance

Your offer to help me rebuild is sweet, don't get me wrong, but this baby was for the sandcastle competition, and having an amateur bucket dumper for an assistant isn't going to win any ribbons.

Sorry

My type? An athlete, obviously! Someone who can keep up with me, hang ten with me, carry me on their shoulders in the water... Er, you get the idea.
I love stormy waves and sun-warmed sands. So... I guess I just like the beach. Huh.
I really enjoy surfing and building sandcastles, but what I really love is parasailing. I feel like I belong in the sky or something.
My hair? Oh, it actually grows naturally this way. Apparently my Mom ate a rainbow when she was pregnant, and... I'm kidding!
When I wink at you, what's the first thing you think of? Is it, "Hey that girl's a flirty flirt", or is it, "She got sunscreen in her eye"?

Poke

Noooooo! BAHAHA! NO NO NO! STOP! You're out of line! Ahh haha!

Gift

Listen, I'll level with you. This is about as appealing to me as a half-melted popsicle with sand stuck to it. Please up your gift game.

Upgrade to Frenemy

Sorry for coming down on you so hard about the sandcastle thing. You just kinda confirmed my worst fears about later, when the beach is gonna get a whole lot more crowded.
Didn't you hear about the Paradise Beach Bash? The sandcastle competition is actually part of that. Hopefully a part that happens apart from it, or there'll be more trampled castles!

Frenemy

You need a nickname worthy of the destruction you bring. How about 'hurricane'?

Life's a beach and then you... fry. But not me, because I never forget my SPF!
Quick! Let's race to the lifeguard tower and back! Double time!
Do you think I bite my ice cream, or lick it? Trick question! I only eat frozen yogurt!
How long can you tread water? Come on, get out there and I'll set a timer!
If you were 20% cooler, you'd be IN my cooler, keeping my drinks frosty!
Lots of people think I'm a tomboy, but I like pretty things too. I can rock a floppy sun hat and dressy sandals!
There's nothing I like better than a motivated person! Work hard and play hard, that's what I always say. Maybe that's why I like sandcastles - because they're a little bit of both!

Poke

Noooooo! BAHAHA! NO NO NO! STOP! You're out of line! Ahh haha!

Gift

Classy! You dug a little deeper for this one, hey? I like it!

Upgrade to Acquaintance

Back for more? Listen, I know I've got a great bikini bod and teeth, and whatever else you might be into, but do you really want to go through the trouble?
Wow. Okay. Respect. We can hang out while I try and salvage this rubble. Maybe I'll even let you fetch water for me. You've got a weird underdog sort of thing going on.

Acquaintance

If you're determined to be helpful can you scrounge up some seashells we can use as decorations? I'm pretty sure I saw someone selling them by the sea shore...

Upgrade to Friendzoned

Am I going to the Paradise Beach Bash? Kind of, I guess? I gotta hang out until they judge the sandcastle competition, at least.
Maybe longer, if I'm particularly proud of what we build here and want to see it last the night. Did I say we? I meant I. What I build. Myself. Ahem.

Friendzoned

They just came and cordoned off the contest area so none of the castles get accidentally trampled by partygoers! Was that your idea, or did your clumsiness just inspire it? Either way, thanks!

Talk

I'm warning you - the next time you turn around, I'm gonna smack that bottom of yours. And I mean hard. Stilllll kinda mad at you. But getting over it.
Just keep those cold drinks coming, hurricane! You're almost in my good books!
Are you just going to hold my pail all day, or are you going to make a move? Sheesh!
I know once the tide comes in all this will be washed away, but that just makes me want to build my castle as beautiful as it can be for the time it's here! Make it count, you know?
I like big butt...resses and I cannot lie! Also, butts.
Let's dance like no one's watching. In fact, let's close our eyes, so we're really awkward. This idea is a good one.
You're sweet. But, like, a natural sweet. Like fructose. I guess. This was way smoother in my head.

Poke

Noooooo! BAHAHA! NO NO NO! STOP! You're out of line! Ahh haha!

Gift

Why do you do this? Are you trying to make me swoon? Well, no guarantees, but keep it up!

Upgrade to Awkward Besties

Okay, okay. I'll admit it. As assistants go, you're not half bad. Maybe I can let you turn over some of the sand buckets.
Just the ones for the littler turrets, though. The ones in the back. Don't get too big for your swimsuit, now.

Awkward Besties

You should ask me out. Walk over to the Snack Shack, come back with something yummy in both hands, and say something awkward but charming. I'll wait.

Flirt

Hey, after we're done this castle, can I bury you in sand and give you a fish tail? I just think you'd look cute as a mer-shmallow!
One of the best things about the beach is definitely the view. Not the sparkling waves, not the far off blue horizon, not even the sunset... I'm talking about all the beach babes in skimpy swimsuits!
You like my bikini? I may not have bought it with you in mind—on account of not knowing you yet—but that doesn't mean it's not still for you, y'know?

Poke

Noooooo! BAHAHA! NO NO NO! STOP! You're out of line! Ahh haha!

Gift

Upgrade to Crush

Hey, so, umm... Are you the sort of person that doesn't mind risking friendships by asking someone out? Like say there was a party going on and you had a friend that was pretty hot, and interested...?
Cool. Then I encourage you to do that. Risk friendships, and not just sandcastles. Date friends. Yeah.

Crush

I'm gonna need my shades, because you are a li'l ray of sunshine!

Flirt

I'm glad this beach allows bonfires, because you are smokin' hot!
Summer lovin', happened so fast...
I think you need to re-apply your sunscreen. You're looking like a toasted marshmallow!
Wanna go for a swim? I don't actually need to cool off, but I do really want to see you in your swimsuit.
When you kiss me, I get all these chills and butterflies and stuff. I think you're contagious.

Poke

I love the fact that your romantic plan includes "Awkwardly grope at random times". You're a real charmer, hurricane!

Gift

Thanks. Damn. I'm actually blushing here. What are you doing to me?

Upgrade to Sweetheart

You know, when you were bending over to fill a bucket earlier... I noticed you have a nice butt. And you make me laugh. You want to do the date thing sometime? Maybe even at the beach party?
Good. So I made the first move, and now you've got to do all the heavy lifting. Grab your wallet and let's do harm to it! All this digging in the sand has me craving a waffle cone!

Sweetheart

Are you a novelty swim float? Because you seem kinda awkward and silly, but having you around totally makes me smile. Also, I want to straddle you!

Flirt

I think you need to re-apply your sunscreen. You're looking like a toasted marshmallow!

Boop! Got your nose! If you want it back, you'll have to face me in a high stakes surfing competition.
Come on, let's roughhouse in the water! It's just physical enough that we can pretend we're not doing it just to touch each other.
So, how do you feel about gals with rainbow colored hair that build intricate sandcastles and ask you random loaded questions?
Will you rub sunscreen on my back? I'll pretend you're not checking me out while you do it.

Poke

I love the fact that your romantic plan includes "Awkwardly grope at random times". You're a real charmer, hurricane!

Gift

Bam! Someone just overpaid! Your bank account better not blame me for this - you clearly have heat stroke.

Upgrade to Girlfriend

Look, you need a plus one. And I'm willing to let you spend your time, money and Beach Balls on me. No no, don't thank me, it's the least I can do. You can thank me later.
Beauty! Now, umm... I've kind of been waiting for you to kiss me for, like, ever...

Girlfriend

You make my heart race just standing next to you... You're like a great cardio workout that buys me slushies.

Upgrade to Lover

If you're frightened of commitment, you're not going to like what I want to say. You cool with some serious talk?
Okay, here goes. I decided I want to stay at this party even after they judge the sandcastles. In fact, I might just stay with you until they kick us off the beach! Phew! Glad I got that off my chest!

Lover

I was thinking about trying out for the Olympics. There's just something about women's competitive beach volleyball that just... calls to me. Okay, okay, it's the uniforms.

Seduce

Even if we don't win the sandcastle contest, I'm proud of what we built together. That droopy drawbridge just means it was made with love!
Hey, what are our plans for the Paradise Beach Bash? Should I grab an acoustic guitar or a wetsuit?
I don't really do the words thing, but I like you. And I want to do stuff to you. Stuff where we get sand in places.
I feel like our relationship keeps getting deeper and deeper. Do you think so? Or am I just cuckoo for coconuts?
If your lips are sunburned, I could help kiss them better?
Wanna take a nap together on the sand? My beach towel is only wide enough for one, though, so we'll have to snuggle up...
We don't need to overthink the date thing. I love any activity where we can get some fresh air. Or air conditioning, depending on the heat index.
We should go skydiving together sometime! Nothing says "romantic date" like plummeting toward the Earth at terminal velocity.
What's up? I was going to hit the surf. Want to join? I might lose my bikini top!
You notice how there's never any cool stories that start with, "Remember when we did that safe thing?"
You're awesome. Just so you know.
You're neato. And I'm not very good with the talky talk.
You've sure got a lot of summer specific hobbies. I have no idea how your schedule even works.

[Moonlight Stroll] Wow. Everything is way more romantic by moonlight. Maybe even sunburns.
[Beach] If you think you can win my heart by taking me to fun and exotic places, you are exactly right and I applaud your sharp, forward thinking.
[Sightseeing] So I totally expected you to take me somewhere lame, and you didn't! Grats!
[Movie Theater] Thanks for a lovely time. That's right, "lovely". I can use classy affectionate words too, ya know.

Roxxy

First Meeting

(You're on your way to the Beachside Snack Shack for a snack, but instead you find... well, a snacc!)
(There's a cool, bubbly girl there handing out colorful fliers. You take one just for the chance to talk to her!)
Roxxy: "Hey you! You're invited to the annual Paradise Beach Bash! Celebrate all things tropical on the longest, hottest day of the year!"
Roxxy: "You wanna help me spread the word? Together we can make this the hottest beach party of all time!"

Adversary

Nothing attracts people to a party like good-looking and bubbly hosts! Let's get some music blasting and these fliers into people's hands!

Sorry

I don't know who you are, but the more people hyping a party, the better. This is what you do now.
Oww! I'm not sure how, but I think you stepped on my butt? We'll get WAY more fliers into people's hands if we spread out!
Welcome to party recruiting! Turn up the music, crowd in, have some water, and show me your moves!
This star on my cheek? It's because I shoot across the dance floor and you WISH you had these moves.

Poke

Oof! Did you trip? I'm not surprised... Look at those flip-flops!

Gift

I appreciate the gift, but remember: it's the thought that counts, and I expect your thoughts to be on hyping the party!

Upgrade to Nuisance

We'll get to introductions at the party! For now, just know I have a habit with meeting new people where I immediately imagine them naked.
It's always fun and usually an improvement. Don't be shy, go ahead and give it a try! It might help you charm people into accepting a flier!

Nuisance

I printed 20,000 fliers to give out! We only have... 19,000 left! Come on! We can do this!

Sorry

This star on my cheek? It's because I shoot across the dance floor and you WISH you had these moves.
Beach babes in the sand. Tropical drink, in everyone's hand. Falling in love to the rhythm of a steel drum band. *sigh* It's a great party pitch, yes?
I see you admiring my bathing suit. I like my bikinis like my parties - loud! So very loud!
The bass is not loud enough! I cannot feel it in my lungs! Should we get a bigger speaker? A SECOND speaker!?
What do you call that dance move? Maybe... "Cement Block In Washing Machine?" No! You must find better moves! People go to a party to dance! You must infect them with a boogie!

Poke

Ha! Is that a tickle, or a new dance move? Either way, I like it!

Gift

I appreciate the gift, but remember: it's the thought that counts, and I expect your thoughts to be on hyping the party!

Upgrade to Frenemy

Alright, I've decided we're on a first name basis now. I'm Roxxy. It rhymes with foxy, so it's easy to remember!
Here's my resume - I dance, I yoga, I roll, and I cause mischief. Ideally, all at the same time!

Frenemy

Show me your moves!

Can't hear you. Too busy cheering on the sun! He prepares for his longest dance at the Paradise Beach Bash. Look at him shine!
When I'm feeling down, I practice limbo! Then, when I pull myself up, it is both physically and metaphorically!
Did you know? These bracelets keep away bad vibes and haters. So does this lil can of pepper spray I keep in my bikini top. I don't like haters.
I cannot WAIT for the pig roast! All this dancing and hyping and flier-giving is really drumming up my appetite! And my thirst! When was the last time you had water? We both must stay hydrated!
I cannot say "do not mix business with pleasure". Dancing is definitely a pleasure, and it just so happens that right now I am being paid for it!
I'm headed downtown to dance in the water fountains. Want to come make a splash with me?
Maybe I am biased, but I do not think the sandcastle competition, the beach volleyball tournament, or the swimming race would be a good use of my skills. The hula hoop dance, however...

Poke

Ha! Is that a tickle, or a new dance move? Either way, I like it!

Gift

This is so kind and generous! But also a little suspicious... What are you up to?

Upgrade to Acquaintance

Hmm. I'm looking at your hips, and I'm just not sure if they're inviting people to the party...
Your enthusiasm is great! I just want to make sure your hips don't tell a single lie about how awesome the party will be!

Acquaintance

COME AND DANCE WITH US! NOW, AND AT THE PARADISE BEACH BASH! THIS WONDERFUL MARSHMALLOW AND I WILL SEE YOU ALL THERE! Don't look so surprised! I'm only giving the people what they want.

Hey - I want you to know that your charms are setting off some major alarms over here. Good alarms.
I'm just calling what I'm seeing. If you party half as hard as you flirt, we're going to be lifelong friends.

Friendzoned

Ugh. Now I have that song stuck in my head. You know, the one that goes "SOUND THE ALARM WUUR wrr WR wrr wrr wrrwrrwrrwrr WUUR wrr WR wrr wrr wrrwrrwrrwrr!" What a classic.

Talk

Oof. My hips, they are so sore. That will teach me to try and hula hoop dance for nine hours. Please, make with the body massaging.
You little dreamboat. Sailing into people's hearts. Maybe you are looking for a first mate?
Earlier, I was dancing on the beach, and my samba squashed someone's sandcastle! She chased me into a palm tree, and I was stuck there for HOURS!
I like the motion of your ocean and the toot of your flute. Play me a song about the ocean and we will take a little water break.
I wanted to learn hula dance before the party, but I underestimated it! How fast! How smooth! How mesmerizing! After a lot of practice, I am still only an amateur!
If 1 pineapple and 4 coconuts make 18 drinks, how many of each do I need to buy to make 2,000 drinks? My math teacher warned me this day would come...
Purple makes me feel magical and mysterious. Like I'm one with the midnight melodies. What do you wear to connect with the universe? I would guess socks and sandals?

Poke

Ha! Is that a tickle, or a new dance move? Either way, I like it!

Gift

What a strangely thematic gift! It's like the shops around here only carry things related to summer parties! Good thing I love summer!

Upgrade to Awkward Besties

We have spoken already to many people! We have handed out many fliers! We have danced many dances, and enjoyed many sick beats! Do you know what that means!?
Um. No. No, that doesn't mean it's time for a break. It means it's time for a REMIX!

Awkward Besties

Let's dance like EVERYONE'S watching - and make 'em jealous!

My idea to buy a HUGE rubber duck for the party was shot down. Apparently it's "not a good use of the budget" or something like that. Can you imagine being mad about a huge rubber duckie!?
Ready for a neat feeling? Close your eyes. Now tap your head with one hand, and rub your belly with the other. Okay, aaaaaaand *smooch!*
This song! It gets in my hips and makes them misbehave. Watch out - they are coming for you!

Oh so great! I call it a Carnival Crawl! Let's start with Mardi Gras and end with Dia de los Muertos, naturally!

Crush

...... Ah! Sorry, I was just having a moment of silence for people who do not party. They must be dead inside.

Flirt

Something tells me this Paradise Beach Bash is going to be the best ever! Though it miiiiiiight have something to do with the fact you'll be there!
You really do remind me of a marshmallow. You're sweet, scrumptious, and you go straight for my hips!
I take my duties as a Hydro Hottie very seriously, especially in summer! No one can say no when a hottie tells you to drink some water!
They say before you can help others, you have to help yourself. Well, every time I see you, I really want to help myself!
We should do yoga together. I need someone to help me stretch, and you get to find out how far I can flex. Win win!

Poke

Your fingers dance, dance, dance on my skin. You mean to make me giggle... But instead you make me... Warm... Warmer than the summer sun!

Gift

I love it! You are so nice to me, and so very mean to your wallet. Poor thing!

Upgrade to Sweetheart

You. You do not know this, but I giggle like a silly girl with no chill when I see you. You must keep pretending I'm much cooler than that!
You see... It is important you think I am cool. That way, we can hang out when there is no party to use as an excuse!

Sweetheart

That kiss... It was like ice-cream on a hot day... It didn't last long enough!

How cute would it be if I worked at the cotton candy stall!? I could spin myself a sweet cotton skirt!
I hear that you are quite the surfer. Maybe you can take me out on a wave sometime. I love to feel the motion of the ocean beneath me.
I'm so glad that the universe brought us together. The universe, and the irresistible pull that comes from a great party!
Our voices have a great sound together. Let's try the acoustics in my shower.

Upgrade to Girlfriend

You know how sometimes you hear a song and you just want to play it over and over again? And nothing else seems as good?
That's how I feel about you lately. Like no matter what I'm doing, I just want to be dancing with you. No other rhythm matches my feet.

Girlfriend

C'mon! Let's act like summer and walk like rain! I'm... not sure what that means, but we will figure it out on the way!

Hee hee! Yes, it is true! You are the melody of my heart... And hopefully soon, the bass drop of my bedroom sheets. *giggle*

Lover

My hips are doing their shimmy shimmy shakes! They sense this Paradise Beach Bash will be the best ever! It's all thanks to you, and your seductive moves!

Seduce

Did the sun just get brighter? Or did you smile at me?
Here's a deep and valuable secret: Just once, I'd like to lie in the sand quietly, warm in the sun, and be fed cold strawberries.
I am even more excited for the pig roast! Though, I cannot promise I won't dance on the table. It really depends on how strong the tropical drinks are...
In my heart, I am always dancing for you.
Let's party until we can't see straight, dance until we collapse, and make love until we can barely breathe. Sound good?
Parties are my favorite! I love the happy atmosphere, handing out water to thankful people, dancing in public, and everyone having a really amazing time!
Quick! You must grab my waist and dip me like the end of a dramatic romantic comedy!
Something about a great big bonfire gets my blood pumping! Almost as much as when you are near me. Keep an eye on me tonight, yes? I do not know how my heart will handle both things together!
Sometimes, when there are quiet moments, it is fun just to be near and to be loved.
You and me, we are poetry in motion. A great couplet on a beautiful sonnet.

[Moonlight Stroll] The stars are beautiful... Buuuut if I can see the stars, it means we do not have enough lighting for the party! Quick! We must find lasers, glitter, glowy sticks... anything you see that lights up!
[Beach] Dancing on the sand is always tricky business. And tricky business is my middle name!
[Sightseeing] We must take our inspiration from the wind! The rushing and tumbling! The spinning and moving! The tug on my scarf... The caress on my skin... Hint hint!
[Movie Theater] No matter what movie I watch, I am always waiting for the characters to break out into song and dance. It is an unhealthy thing.

Nova

First Meeting

(While pausing to apply an extra layer of sunscreen, you notice yet another gorgeous beach babe skateboarding down the boardwalk.)
(You're totally captivated by how cool she looks - even when her wheels catch on a crack, sending her flying! She lands on the boardwalk, her face turning red.)
Nova: "Aww, damn! That did NOT just happen!"
(Wow... She even makes falling over look cool! You head over to help her up, hoping some of her awesomeness will rub off on you.)

Adversary

You didn't just see...? You did? Frick! Well, that's embarrassing.

Sorry

Ha. Talk about a first impression. Seeing me ass-up on the pavement must've been pretty thrilling, huh?
The sun was totally in my eyes, by the way. Reflecting off the ocean, being all bright and stuff. I was basically sabotaged.
You won't tell anyone you saw me eat dirt, will you? 'Cuz if you do, I'll beat you up!
My face is only red 'cuz it's hot out, by the way.

Poke

Cool your jets. I need a minute.

Gift

Did... Did you find this tangled up in some kelp, or something?

Upgrade to Nuisance

I swear it's not my first time skateboarding. Not my first time wiping out, either. Not sure why I'm being so self-conscious...
Err, never mind. I'm cool. It's cool.

Nuisance

Yeah. Real "killer" moves I've got. And the scraped knees to prove it.

Sorry

My face is only red 'cuz it's hot out, by the way.
I guess I'll just walk it off. Or swim it off. Or whatever.
So... Nice weather we're having, hey? (Geez, I'm lame...)
Talk about a Hall of Meat high score...
Whatever. Everybody faceplants sometimes.

Poke

Ha! Don't make me bite you. I'll do it!

Upgrade to Frenemy

Okay, I get it. I don't need to feel embarrassed. Whatever. Can we just move on now?
You seem like a... neat person. Wanna hang?

Frenemy

They say the cure for anything is salt water. We could go to the beach for a swim, OR... Hear me out... We could go cliff diving.

Sorry

All right, I think I'm ready to laugh about it. Wiping out is hilarious, after all.
Why are you being so nice to me? I'm not complaining, it's just... kinda weird. Guess I'm not used to it.
I don't dance, I don't build sandcastles, I don't do beach karaoke or whatever. But I do know how to partaaay, so you should totally stick with me.
I wanna drink something fruity out of a hollowed-out coconut. Or something coconut-y out of a hollowed-out pineapple. Better yet, I'll take one of each. I've got two hands, after all.
I've literally never seen someone so impressed by bad skateboarding. Dial it back, fren. Your optimism is like the sun - it's too bright and it hurts my eyes.
Like I always say, ride hard or ride home. And for what it's worth... I'm glad I didn't ride home.
The world is your oyster. Shuck it. Do what makes you happy.

Ha! Don't make me bite you. I'll do it!

Oh, wow. Umm... Sorry, I'm mega awkward with gifts. Thanks?

Someone should really fix up that boardwalk. Maybe I'll take some neon spray paint and highlight all the tripping hazards.
Wow... Does that sound like a fun afternoon, or what? I'm a real party animal.

Yo, let's crash the Snack Shack. I need a rainbow popsicle.

What doesn't kill you gives you unhealthy coping mechanisms and a wacked out sense of humor, amiright? Hey, take a video of me reenacting that faceplant. Maybe it'll go viral on Fail Squad!
You seriously think I'm cool? You must not get out much.
Chilling with you feels just like air conditioning on a hot day. Really cool and refreshing.
I'm not like other girls. There are so many bubbly beach princesses and self-assured sporty gals around here... And dang, they are ALL cool and fun AF. Honestly, they inspire me.
My one goal in life is for my last words to be "Hey, watch this!"
Y'know, I'm not always sarcastic. Sometimes I'm asleep.
Yeah, I'm pretty pumped about the beach bash. Gonna get my limbo on! How low can I go? Pretty frickin' low, my friend.

Ha! Don't make me bite you. I'll do it!

Hey, this is like...really cool. Thanks.

Real talk for two seconds. I like knowing you've got my back...
K, that's all I wanted to say. Now, you wanna just stand around feeling awkward, or do you wanna go grab some surfboards and hit the waves?

Let's go parasailing. And then let's grab some fries. I wanna feel like a seagull.
Man, I wish there was an easy way to level up at life. I need a cheat code for getting my shite together. And maxing out my boob stat.

Flirt

Tan lines are cool. If you show me yours, I'll show you mine.
You're such a flirt. I feel like you're about to tell me I have ocean eyes or some shizz. Don't you dare!
Long summer days make me lazy. Lazier than usual, I mean.
Man, I've got sand all up in my shorts. Think anyone would notice if I swam out a ways and took 'em off? Other than you, I mean.
Wanna make out? But, like, as friends? I dunno - I'm complicated and kinda aroused.

Poke

Oh, it's ON. C'mere, you! I'm gonna toss you into the ocean! Hahaha!

Gift

Man, it's definitely my turn to get you a gift. But as usual, I'm strapped for cash, so... Yeah. Raincheck?

I'm really glad we're together. Hanging out, I mean. 'Cuz you're cool and, um... Yeah.
All right, all right. I like you. There, I said it. Now can we just shut up and make out?

My first crush was in the eighth grade. I was a punk, he did ballet... What more can I say?
Oof. That sun is scorching. You wanna set up my beach umbrella for me? I'll even let you share the shade.
There's some hammocks over there. We could go take a nap in one. I think we'll both fit, right?
You're mega nice. And mega hot. You don't find those two things wrapped up in the same package super often. So... Good job?

Poke

Oh, it's ON. C'mere, you! I'm gonna toss you into the ocean! Hahaha!

Haha! Okay, Captain Cheeseball... Whatever floats your goat.

Haha! C'mon, you know how I feel about you. I don't need to say it, do I?

Lover

I'm into you. Blah blah blah, sentimental crap. You get the picture.

Seduce

Boredom kills. Let's find something crazy to do before the beach bash.
Confession. When I see seaweed on the beach, it makes me crave sushi. Is that mega weird, or just a little weird?
Dang, you really do be making my heart flip flop like... a pair of flip flops, I guess.
I feel like I should give you a pet name. Like... Hot lips? Hottie McHotpants? Frick, I'm BAD at this.
I'm not doing anything today. It sounds lazy, but actually it's called "conserving energy." Which is extra important when it's hot out.
If this is as good as things get for me, I gotta say... Not too shabby for Nova. Not too shabby at all.
My whole life has been hand-me-down skateboards, beat up shoes, shoplifted bikinis... So how the heck did I end up with your whole, shiny, beautiful heart in my hands?
Next time we take a walk on the beach, you wanna hold hands like we're twelve? That was dumb. I don't know why I said that... But, I mean, DO IT.
Oh, babe! I found this sketchy arcade on the boardwalk, right next to the good ice cream place! Let's go blast some alien invaders in the A/C!
Thanks for always making me laugh, and for saying nice things about me. Guess it still kinda comes as a surprise.
This beach is way too packed. Let's go find somewhere we can really be alone together.
What do you think, should I switch up the hair? Maybe throw in a few streaks of electric lime? You could get some pink clip-ins. Then we'd be one of those dorky matching couples!
You excited to meet a bunch of new people at the beach bash? It's a great community around here. Everyone's good people - except Frankie. Don't talk to Frankie.

Poke

Oh, it's ON. C'mere, you! I'm gonna toss you into the ocean! Hahaha!

Dates

[Moonlight Stroll] Usually when I'm out that late it's 'cause I'm doing something shady. It's like you're a good influence on me or something.
[Beach] That was awesome. Legit. I am sunburned fo sho. If only someone wanted to rub me down with some after-sun lotion...
[Sightseeing] Yeah, nature's cool and all, but have you ever gone scuba diving and checked out the remains of a sunken yacht? Now there's a sight to behold. C'mon, I'll show you!
[Movie Theater] I hope my ability to make sarcastic remarks for two hours straight impressed you. Side note, the A/C in there was awesome. So nice to get a break from the summer heat.

Lustat

First Meeting

(You're enjoying a long walk on the beach when you notice an unnaturally beautiful beach babe - and she's actually selling seashells by the seashore!)
Lustat: "Yoohoo! Want to buy a shell? Step into the shade with me, and take a look at my wares..."
(There's something strange about this girl. As you approach, you notice little details - like horns and fangs - that make you think she might possibly be a vampire...)
(But then what's she doing out here on a sunny beach!?)
Lustat: "I do what I want! *hiss* Now are you going to make a purchase, or not?"

Adversary

Repeat after me: "She sells seashells, by the sea shore!" You get a discount if you can say it five times fast.

Sorry

Don't worry - even if you had tried to stake me, I would have turned to vapor and disappeared. In other words - you would have mist. Heehee!
Tee hee! You should have seen the look on your face as you realized what I am! It was simultaneously 'Ahh! I'm scared!' and 'Oh no, why is she so hooot!' Classic!
You know what's truly monstrous? IMPORTING seashells when you can sell the local ones! Local goods are HOT these days! I mean, everything's hot these days. It's called summer.
Ooh! Someone's coming! Pretend I've said something funny, and start laughing so they notice my seashell stand! Oh come on. You can manage a little levity, can't you?

Poke

*hiss!* Oh, you're not trying to stake me? That was a gesture of affection? Dear goodness me, you've got to work on that!

Gift

AH HAHA! This is extraordinarily tacky and thoughtless. As only a mortal could achieve. Please cast this back into the shadows, and let us never discuss it again.

Upgrade to Nuisance

This chat is all well and good, but I have noticed two very troubling things about you.
One, you're holding a bright Paradise Beach Bash flier, and two, you haven't bought a single seashell.

Nuisance

Alright. You drive a hard bargain. How about this. Just because you're kind of cute, if you buy a shell, you can get another one 50% off!

Sorry

Ooh! Someone's coming! Pretend I've said something funny, and start laughing so they notice my seashell stand! Oh come on. You can manage a little levity, can't you?
*sniff!* MMmmm! You smell amazing! A nice mixture of charming allure and raw passionate energy. Also cinnamon sugar. You're like a bag of mini donuts!
Could you talk about something OTHER than the Paradise Beach Bash? This may come as a shock, but I have no interest in attending a party where the guest of honor is the sun.
If you refuse to buy anything and continue to waste my time, then I may bite thee! But if you're a good little Marshmallow, and treat me kindly... Then I shall bite thee for certain...
It's just so hard to believe I'm the only one entrepreneurial enough to see the beach for what it really is - a smokin' business opportunity!

Poke

Ah! Hey! Hee hee! No, stop! Don't touch me with your sweaty little hands! Ah HAHA!

Of course, I've noticed a greater degree of success depending on how revealing my top is... But I'm certain that's only coincidence.

I don't drink blood during the work day. Apparently customers think it's 'icky'. Instead, I get that Impossible Blood they sell. It's nice! And vegan-friendly, in that it's no longer made of vegans.
You can trust me! I'm as honest as the day is long! And the days are REALLY long right now!
Do I look pale to you? Oh good. I got a new SPF umbrella online, and the seller was a bit sketchy. I was worried I had ruined my deathly complexion.
I'd think a fellow member of #hustleculture would appreciate the grind. HOW many jobs do you have at any given time?
It doesn't matter to me if you people have tropical drinks and a suckling pig. You're charging what, 1 billion a plate...? You're... You're not charging anything!? Where's your profit!?
Lost time is lost money. Unless there are other girlbosses there for me to mingle with, or you're going to pay me to come, it really sounds like a net loss for me to go to the party.
Oh Mr Sun, Sun, Mr Golden Sun. Please don't fry my faaaace... Ugh! That song is stuck in my head!

Poke

Ah! Hey! Hee hee! No, stop! Don't touch me with your sweaty little hands! Ah HAHA!

Gift

Hmm. A much better gift, I must say. You're already showing a better appreciation for the finer things. Still, improvements could be made...

Upgrade to Acquaintance

I find you intriguing, mortal. You have many vocations, many lovers, many talents. As if you're trying to be everything to everyone...
I mean, I'm not complaining. I'm super glad that, 'sexy buff' and 'witty conversationalist' are sprinkled in there. If you start to focus on less things, put those two at the top of your list.

Acquaintance

I'll give you this - you are a very charming party promoter. Are you sure you don't want to ditch the sun-worshipping nonsense and focus your promoting-power on seashells?

Friendzoned

I like you, mortal. You're not really in 'iconic' territory yet, but you're a solid 'guilty pleasure' if I've ever met one.

Talk

I relate to those cutesy little coconut drinks. Nothing should have to be out in the sun without an umbrella.
I've been stalking the other beach babes. They're all so hot! I'm trying to figure out which one I should hypnotize, and lure into a strangely erotic, unholy friendship. Any recommendations?
I would like to take you flying tonight. Mortals always swoon when I take them flying. You can even choose how I carry you. 'Super' style in my arms, or on my back like I'm a flying pony or something.
If you're allergic to peanuts, you don't eat them. If the sun fries you on contact, you stay away from it. I'm more... solar-intolerant. I know it might hurt, but I'll still indulge from time to time.
So you say there'll be lots of sports and stuff - beach volleyball, hula hooping, surfing, dancing? Hmmm... all activities that really get one's blood pumping...
The trick to being a successful entrepreneur is to flirt with investors, customers, reviewers, secret shoppers, auditors...
There was an awkward time that I didn't realize you mortals had started saying, "Bite me!" as an insult. I thought you all had just become very accommodating. Gosh, was my face red!

I had sworn off all relations with mortals. Can you blame me? They walk around saying everything 'slays'. I don't need that kind of stress in my life.

Say, will you assist me in my dark bidding? I need someone to watch my booth while I go hang upside down for a bit.

I suppose there'll be music at the Beach Bash? I suppose I could cut a rug? Bust a move? Shake my groove thang? Er... what is the current slang for dancing nowadays?
Look at me! Making an effort to go to a mortal event that has nothing to do with masquerades OR marketing!
Despite what you might think... Vampires also hate mosquitos. One got in my coffin the other day, and it was such a nuisance. Talk about a lack of professional courtesy!
Some kids asked me if I could umpire their baseball game. I think they may have misread my business card? But anyway, they paid up front so... BAT-ter up!
The sound of your heartbeat, it's just so... It's just so pleasing. It's warmth, and life, and sexiness, and deep magic, and song. I'd like to turn it up, so I'm gonna chase you around in the sand.

Poke

I saw you taking a long walk on the beach with another mortal, and I must admit... A rare streak of jealousy arose in me.
So I slew them, and drank their blood. Just kidding! Wow, can you imagine how awkward that would make things? Talk about being a party pooper!

Fun fact - the rule about inviting vampires into your home is true. Also your car, your garage, your fallout shelter, your parties, and... your heart. So... Hint hint. Get inviting.
Mortals are always asking me why vampires come across so, you know... Sorta nympho? And the truth is, even after hundreds of years, physical intimacy is still pretty darn interesting.
Some bouncy girl with purple hair called me a 'human disco ball'. She was wrong on both accounts, of course, but it was cute.
You'll have to go ahead of me and make sure none of the leis are made of garlic. My life, such as it is, and my beauty, are in your capable and noble hands.

Aww, darn it. I just know that I've smeared my lipstick, but... Well, the whole mirrors thing. Can you help?
Do you like my barely-there swimwear? Don't worry darling, I'm also wearing the SPF 3000 sunscreen you gave me. I thought it only right you also enjoy my perks...
Hee hee. Do you not find amusement in the parallels of humans gathering together at a party to watch fireworks? Both humans and fireworks have so much light and sound and fury! I'm enthralled!
Hey, if you decide you want to give up your soul and become a creature of the night, let me know. It's suitably poetic to use the end of the longest day as the beginning of our undead afterlife.
Hey... Someone just came by and bought every single sea shell I was selling by the sea shore. You didn't have anything to do with that, did you?
I know this might complicate things a little, but... you can absolutely bite me whenever you feel like it. I know the feeling isn't totally mutual, but I... kind of love it. So just do it.
I would be your lover... Until the long days of your body are spent, and you slip into eternity. Just so we're clear - I'm going to be mega hot that whole time, so this is a good deal.
I'm not sure how you did it, but I've completely fallen for you... Wait! Has this been your tactic the whole time!? How ruthless! Hahaha!
If I had a heartbeat, it would beat for thee. If I drew breath, it would draw for thee. If I... got sweaty? It would... bead... for thee? Those are things humans do in the summer, right?
Kiss me. Bite me. Touch me. Just be with me. You make me feel alive.
Oh! You've got a small cut on your finger. Here, let me... There. That bandage should do. Wait, did you think I was going to... Yuck! Hands are super unsanitary! They're not for sucking!
Snuggling in my coffin will have to wait. We have to prepare for the scavenger hunt! I've always been good at... tracking down my targets.
Why aren't your lips kissing mine? I really can't think of any excuse, can you? *sigh*

Poke

Hee hee. Tell you what. If you want something cold to lick, I volunteer as tribute.

Gift

Where did you find this!? Is it real!? Hang on. I might shed a single tear. This is the nicest thing anyone's ever given to me! Come, I wish to reward you with kisses of great passion and abundance.

Dates

[Moonlight Stroll] Ahh, the Moon. My constant companion. By whose light I've ended a thousand lives. Good times!
[Beach] Okay, I'm not totally sure why you insisted on going DIRECTLY in the sunlight, but I'm glad I trusted you. I didn't end up extra crispy, and I do admit, the change of pace was... revitalizing.
[Sightseeing] I hope they find whoever or whatever mangled that poor bird **HICCUP!** Umm... Is it too late to say sorry? It's just that I've been pitching sales since yesterday, and I haven't stopped to eat!
[Movie Theater] So cheesy! That huge shark had puppy-dog eyes, not the eyes of a savage, bloodthirsty killer! I, of all people, should know!

Shibuki

First Meeting

(You see a sporty beach babe dive under the surface of the water. She doesn't come up for a long, long time... So of course you dive in to rescue her!)
(To your surprise, she seems rather upset when you pull her back to shore!)
Shibuki: "Nooo! I was about to beat my personal best!"
Shibuki: "I'm training to beat the world record in freediving, so if you're not here to cheer me on while I hold my breath for extended periods, then stay out of the water!"

Adversary

I'll just take a few minutes to recoup... spoil sport.

Sorry

A true dive enthusiast must train constantly. So, what's next? Breathing exercises? Free Immersion? Variable weight practice?
Stay back! All divers carry a knife, in case they need to cut their way out of trouble. And you, are DEFINITELY trouble.
What do you mean "all divers wear wetsuits"? We wear whatever we feel most comfortable in. And... maybe I want to blend in with some coral!
You might have pulled me out of the water, but you're no lifeguard. Your skills don't make the cut! Not compared to the muscle babe that already works here, anyway. Have you met her yet?
You're a party hype-mallow! Handing out fliers, dancing around... You definitely don't have what it takes to endure the absolute solitude of free diving!

Poke

Don't touch me, you fox faced rabbitfish!

Gift

This'll just weigh me down on my next dive. That may sound like a good thing, but it's not.

Upgrade to Nuisance

If you'd like to train with me, let's see some dedication.
Excellent. It's important you know what you're doing, and keep a calm head. If you panic, you're toast. Soggy toast.

Nuisance

Soooooooooggy Toooooooooast. Don't forget!

Sorry

C'mon, pufferfish! Even a shrew could hold its breath longer than that!
Hi there, remember how I can hold my breath for a really long time and don't need to be rescued? Well... Don't forget!
I wasn't checking you out, I was analyzing your weaknesses. You've got the swim form of an unmotivated manatee.
That vampire chick tried to hire me to bring her shells from my dives. I turned her down. What could she possibly need me for!? She doesn't need to breathe! It's just lazy, if you ask me.
The Five-Point Secret Starfish technique is totally last year. What's the new hotness?

Ah! Nooo! Your hands are cold! Ahhhh! Ahhh... You know what, that actually feels really good. Don't stop!

I won't respect you until you truly grasp what the term "total lung capacity" means.

Your breathing skills look pretty good - like you've been doing it your whole life!

Excellent! Soon I'll take you on your first free dive... into a triple fudge sundae! What, you thought you were ready for the ocean? Not by a long shot!

Friendzoned

Sorry, what did you say? Something about a party? My ears are waterlogged!

Talk

*Sigh* I already knew the Paradise Beach Bash was coming up, I just hoped there'd be enough beach for both things.
I stopped free diving in lakes. Too many weird things in them. Fifteen feet under the water, what do I find? A moose. Try coming back from THAT one.
I'm going to go take a bath, and maybe watch an ocean documentary. It's been one dive of a day, you know?
I've tried dating other divers, but they always dip on me.
If parties were like oceans, maybe I'd be there. But they're not, are they? They're filled with people that make a lot of noise and don't act in a way I can predict. It makes me uncomfortable.
You're no salt water fish, but at least I don't need to clean your tank if I decide to keep you.

Poke

Ah! Nooo! Your hands are cold! Ahhhh! Ahhh... You know what, that actually feels really good. Don't stop!

Gift

Meh. I've fished up better from shallower shores. But I suppose the thought counts too.

Upgrade to Awkward Besties

I'm starting to get comfortable thinking... If I ever dive too deep, I'll be able to rely on you.
I'm not used to feeling like I can trust other people. Too unpredictable. I prefer to depend on myself! So this is... new. Huh.

Awkward Besties

I like you. You're... deep. Heh heh heh, get it?

Flirt

Are you using your cute butt to distract me from my breathing techniques? Just asking. No reason.
Either I have decompression sickness, or I'm starting to fall for you.... No wait, it's decompression sickness. Get me some oxygen!
Huh!? Are you some kind of octopus? Because you popped out of nowhere and ambushed my heart!
I can see myself spending WAY more time on the shore with you.
I could use a clever disguise technique to make myself more comfortable, like octopi do! I mean, in this context, it's also called doing make-up and putting on party clothes but whatever.
I feel the uncontrollable urge to share air with you...
I mean, if you really think about it, I guess dancing is kind of like swimming... right? You have to coordinate your body to... wiggle?
Let's explore that kelp forest and get REALLY really tangled up with each other...
Someday, I hope someone will black bag me and drag me off to a beach party for 'my own good'. Hint hint. Wink wink. Nudge nudge.
The life of a free diver is pretty tame compared to the murky depths and crushing pressures of the dating world.
Wait, am I getting feelings for a snorkel newb? Ah! Swim away!
You know, there's always a beach party episode in all the diving shows I watch, and I've always been interested in maybe, trying one?
You might not be a pair of goggles, but you still steam me up!
You're really distracting, you know that? But I still can't decide if it's in a good way or a bad way...

Upgrade to Crush

The truth is... Yes I'm determined to win the record for freediving and I need to practice if I wanna get there, but it's not just about being the best. It's about the feeling diving gives me.
Like the deeper I get, the more right everything feels. Down there, alone, it's all up to me. Where I go, how far, even breathing. And this party you're talking up? It's the exact opposite of that!

Crush

Ever seen a sunken ship up close? Would you like to?

Y'know, this whole "trusting someone else" thing isn't that bad. Just in case though, do you think we should establish a safe word?
For the party! If I go! So you know if I need help getting out of there! Not... I wasn't... Just forget it!

Sweetheart

You're my favorite diving partner, pufferfish. I like having you around above and below the water.

Flirt

Call me sand, because I wanna get aaaall up in your swimsuit.
It'll be a moonless night tonight. So dark, we could get away with ANYTHING on this beach once the sun goes down...
It's so strange, now whenever I find something interesting on my dives, the moment I get to the surface I want to show it to you! Is this... love?
Kissing burns 6 calories per minute. I'm leaving it to you to help me maintain my beach bod.
Now that I'm not underwater and safe from the sun, I should probably put on some SPF. Care to slather me?
Squeeze me! Let's practice what to do if you tangle with a giant squid.
The only thing the longest day of the year ever meant to me was extra practice time. But... this year, I'm glad I can spend it with you! Doing something maybe... Out of my comfort zone?
Time to practice some forbidden underwater wrestling techniques...
Wanna go skinny dipping? I know of a rocky spot down the beach too treacherous for any of the Paradise Beach Bashers to bother with...
Want to go pick flowers with me? I thought it'd be cute if we made our own matching leis for the party!
Want to search for hidden treasures with me?
You know, lifeguards must get bored, scanning the beach with those binoculars... Let's give them something to really look at!

I used to think diving among bioluminescent fish was the most beautiful thing I could ever see. Looking at your face, I realize how wrong I was.
It's almost the longest day of the year, and I still wish there were more light hours I could spend with you!
Quick! Get over here and give me mouth to mouth! I'm not drowning, I just want you to kiss me like my life depends on it!
You've become quite the accomplished free diver. You certainly swam right into the depths of my heart!

[Moonlight Stroll] That was the perfect date! The depth of the night sky reminded me so much of the inky beauty of the ocean. Let's do another one and go for a naughty night swim...
[Beach] I suppose spending some time on shore with you wasn't so bad. But don't think I'm going to give up the wonderous infinity of the ocean for sun and sand!
[Sightseeing] Thank you for bringing me to the shrine. Sometimes I get so wrapped up in diving, I forget there are beautiful things above water to look at.
[Movie Theater] My favorite part of our movie date was holding my breath while the characters did! I beat every single one of them! Take that, Finding Fabio!

Sutra

First Meeting

(The sun is hot and your drink is cold as you float on the back of an inflatable flamingo. There's a beach volleyball game happening on the nearby shore, which means your view is especially good.)
(Surprisingly, one of the volleyball players - a tall and stunningly beautiful beach babe - starts waving at you. Does she want to talk to you? Sweet!)
(You paddle your flamingo towards the sandy beach to meet her.)
Sutra: "I couldn't help but notice there's no rope fastening your flotation device to the shore. You should be careful. The current could have swept you away."

Adversary

No need to thank me. I am a lifeguard. Guarding lives is what I do.

Sorry

I am here to enforce rules, identify emergencies, and initiate rescue when needed. Also to proudly show off these abs.
I may be off-duty, but danger never takes a break. I will always keep a watchful eye on the water.
You are strong. Your heart is full of courage. Just be careful - fearlessness can lead to recklessness.
I was not expecting to be so intrigued. Which is saying something, because I have seen some very intriguing things wash up with the tide.

Poke

I see you are familiar with CPR. That's good, though your technique could use some work. I can show you.

Gift

Thank you. It's the thought that counts. And I did not expect you to think of me...

Upgrade to Nuisance

I do not remember seeing you around. Do you come to this beach often?
There are many summer activities for you to enjoy here, including swim lessons, boat safety courses, and first aid training. Please let me know if you would like to sign up for any of them.

You seem very relaxed. Perhaps you should wear a life vest. Or, at the very least, some water wings.

Sorry

I noticed you leave very cute footprints in the sand. Do you not have any water shoes? What if you step on a sea urchin?
The sea is my everything. She is in my mind. My heart. My dreams. My soul. She is beautiful and deadly. Above all else, she is to be respected.
You may be Buff, but a body is not just biceps and deltoids. Do you skip leg day? I bet you do, sometimes. But a strong swimmer needs strong legs.
You must discover the delicate symmetry between having fun and being safe.

Poke

Hmm. I thought I might laugh for a moment. You are a fun person.

I enjoy your presence. I will enjoy teaching you about beach safety. I hope you will also find me highly enjoyable.
It is time to reapply our sunscreen. Yes, again.
Have you learned to perform the butterfly stroke while swimming? I will teach you. Prepare to discover muscles you've never used.
I have heard about a beach party happening soon. It worries me. Parties often involve reckless behavior, which is not conducive to water safety. Does that make me a... "party-pooper"?
Keep calm and carry on.
Later I will be helping to judge the sandcastle competition. As with everything, my standards will be high.
Soon, we will begin SCUBA training. If you do not have a SCUBA tank, a snorkel is a good temporary substitute.

Watch out for jellyfish. Some of them sting. And you do not want to know what happens next...
You have several dangerous hobbies. Surfing, fireworks.... and suntanning? Clearly you are not afraid to walk on the wild side!
You have the gift of conversation. But you must also practice your listening, and never, ever ignore a lifeguard's whistle.
You must find beauty everywhere. In yourself. In the world around you. Even in the ugliest deep-sea creatures that sometimes wash ashore.

Chase me through the surf. If you catch me, I will fulfill your heart's desire. If you do not, we will still have gotten in a good amount of cardio.
It is almost the longest day of the year. Soon the days will grow shorter, colder. I do not much care for "sweater weather," but perhaps... it will be a good excuse to share our body heat?
We should go beachcombing. It will be romantic, and we can pick up any sharp objects like shells or broken glass that people might accidentally step on.
You talk a lot. It is not a bad thing. Your tongue must be very strong.

I am ready to attend the Paradise Beach Bash. I will let my love shine, and not be a stick-in-the-mud.
I have walked up and down this beach many times. I have a love/hate relationship with sand.
I thought this beach was paradise, but now I know that I was wrong. Paradise is in your eyes.
My love is yours. It will last when all other lights have gone out.
Oh. You have golden-lipstick on your face now. Just so you know. You look like a summer sunset.
Shall we swim laps? Or did you have a wonderfully frivolous and romantic ulterior plan?
Someone accidentally spilled iced coffee on me today. It didn't bother me though. I drink iced coffee for breakfast.
The summer can't last forever, but my love for you always will.
Yes. The beach bash will most assuredly be a good time.
You have the body of a sea-god. Though, surprisingly, it still reminds me of delicious rocky road ice cream - especially the little marshmallows they put in there.

(But you spoke too soon! Some grumpy cutie marches up to you, handing you an entire stack of little papers.)
Shelly: "There! It took me HOURS to get tickets written for all the careless littering I saw, and since YOU seem to be elbows deep in every single part of this Beach Bummer Bonanza... HERE YA GO."
(Wow. Those tickets come with heavy fines! Better get to the bottom of this, or the Paradise Beach Bash will go bankrupt!)

Adversary

What are YOU looking at, you butt? Trying to see if I'm paying attention? So you can disrespect your surroundings by putting garbage on the ground?

Sorry

BEHOLD! It is the consequences of your actions, you BUTT! What do you have to say for yourself? And don't even TRY getting out of these tickets!
HEY! Heeeeeeey! Hey! You'd BETTER not even be THINKING of throwing your tickets on the ground! You're an adult! Make sure you act like it!
I'm the founder and only member of the Beach Initiative To Clean Hastily! That makes me judge, jury, and executioner! I got my eye on this big party. Big parties mean big trash, and I WON'T allow it!
There's a perfectly good trash can near the parking lot at the other end of the beach. I don't understand why no one uses it! It's only 4,420 steps away! I counted!

Poke

Woah! Are you trying to start something, you butt?

Gift

AH! CITATION! ... Er, sorry. I still have a bit of trouble dealing with surprises...

Upgrade to Nuisance

Why do you look so happy? I just slapped you with a lifetime supply of citations! It should make you want to leave the beach! Preferably in tears!
I can't believe you think the Beach Bummer Bonanza is worth all those tickets. Do you know how much garbage gets left behind every year? No one cares about the sea life that gets impacted!

Nuisance

Don't sneak up on me or you're gonna get my clipboard right in the face! SMACK!

Sorry

There's a perfectly good trash can near the parking lot at the other end of the beach. I don't understand why no one uses it! It's only 4,420 steps away! I counted!
I can't understand why people don't like it when I throw their trash out for them. They're all "I'm still drinking that" and "Who are you?" and "Hey that's my bathing suit!"
If magic existed, we could just put a spell on the beach to throw trash BACK AT YOU! THERE. HOW DO YOU LIKE IT?
Sand castle competition? More like thinly veiled excuse to put bits of trash and plastic in the sand! Calling bottle caps decorations? Not on my watch!
Ugh. Litterers! You give them an inch, they walk all over you. That's why you gotta be just as tough on littering as any other crime! Maybe even MORE so!

Poke

Unacceptable! Those fingers should be picking up trash, not poking me!

Gift

AH! CITATION! ... Er, sorry. I still have a bit of trouble dealing with surprises...

Upgrade to Frenemy

Okay fine. I believe you. You don't condone people throwing their garbage everywhere, but that doesn't mean you're actively gonna stop people from littering.
I guess I can put a hold on the tickets for now. BUT IF THIS BEACH HAS EVEN ONE PLASTIC STRAW ON IT AT THE END OF THE BASH... I'M DOUBLING ALL YOUR FINES!

Frenemy

If I didn't know any better, you butt, I'd say you were following me. I'm not pardoning any of those fines, if that's what you want.

Sorry

I can't understand why people don't like it when I throw their trash out for them. They're all "I'm still drinking that" and "Who are you?" and "Hey that's my bathing suit!"

Okay, maybe I am a bit short. BUT DON'T YOU DARE CALL ME A SHRIMP! Unless you mean you think I'm like a MANTIS shrimp. Those things can punch through glass! They're so cool!
Why are you so nice to me? Stop that! Don't you know how hard it is to be steamed at someone who's so... YOU?
All I'm saying is... Would it kill that lifeguard to pick up some floating trash when she's out there saving someone? It takes an extra two seconds!
I don't know if you know this, but crabs throw the best raves! They're so clean!
Know what's a true plague on society? FLIERS! Everyone takes one to be polite and they toss them aside first chance they get! Just TELL everyone about an event! We all have PHONES. If we want to go to the event, we'll put it in our calendar.
Let me take a look at you. Hm. Hmmmmmmm. Yep. You look like a troublemaker. I bet you're even in league with that scary lady selling seashells right off the beach! She doesn't even have a permit!
Why did you even decide to help me in the first place? You're like 10,000 leagues out of my... er... league. AH! Not that that has anything to do with cleaning! You can clean even if you're ugly. AHH! Not that you're ugly! Just... FORGET IT!

Poke

Unacceptable! Those fingers should be picking up trash, not poking me!

Gift

Why are you giving me stuff? Don't get me wrong, it's nice, but it's unnecessary. Gifts make so much garbage, and you helping clean up is more than enough, dummy.

Upgrade to Acquaintance

I've seen you around these parts. NOT THAT I PAY PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO YOU. But you look pretty okay.
Er, what I'm trying to say is... it looks like you enjoy the beach. That means you have good taste.

Acquaintance

Look at my face. Isn't this the face of danger? Of a dedicated discipline committee enthusiast? And yet somehow... you keep showing up. Almost like you want to see me. Tch.

Upgrade to Friendzoned

So tell me something. And be honest. Do you... like spending time with me? Or did I just make you feel guilty because I was kinda mean earlier?
Oh good! I mean, I'm still holding you to your promise that people will clean up after themselves at the beach bash, but knowing there might be another reason you're hanging around... is nice. I guess.

Friendzoned

Come at me! Oh. It's you. Let me try that a little less aggressively. Hi. You can come over here if you want.

Talk

Hmph. I don't think I look crabby. Why would anyone say that? Is it my hair? My face? Tell me!
Turns out I really like it when you smile at me. You should do that more. Don't let the sun being in your eyes stop you. I won't take any excuses.
Don't stand so close to me! Oh, but not that far either. Closer... a little to the left... one step back... Perfect! Now don't move.
Don't you just love crabs? They're SO RED! I love red. Plus, all they have to worry about is "pinch" and "no pinch"! Ah, what an excellent life.
Huh. I don't think I ever thanked you for helping me clean up the beach. Well. Thanks. Not many people bother. Uh... I'm rusty in this whole "thanks" thing... Finger guns! You da best! Pew pew!
It's not like I'm at the beach every day because I want to see you! That makes it sound like I have a c-crush on you or something! Remember, I'm the founder of the Beach Initiative To Clean Hastily! Cleaning at the beach is literally my whole thing.
Wanna fight? You may be taller than me, but I'm stronger! Probably.

Poke

Unacceptable! Those fingers should be picking up trash, not poking me!

Gift

Yoink! Thanks. This is neat and I'm glad you let me take it.

Upgrade to Awkward Besties

Listen up, you butt. You may have a nice face. You may even have a nice personality to go along with it. Uh... where was I going with this... N-N-NEVER MIND! FORGET IT, IT DOESN'T MATTER!
Just... know that I'm onto you. Being all friendly. Giving me stuff. What's next? Cool outings that I'll really enjoy? Tch.

Awkward Besties

Don't take this the wrong way or anything, but I kinda like seeing your face. It's a lot friendlier than most of the others I see in a day. Hm. Maybe that has something to do with how many tickets I hand out...

Flirt

Ah! I wasn't winking at you! I got something in my eye! Like sand! Or wind! Or water! Or seaweed! There's lots of stuff you can get in your eye at the beach, dummy!
I don't know what it is, but something about your face makes me want to punch you. OH! Let's use that! For each trash left on the beach, I get to punch you! What do you think of THAT idea?
I was just thinking we should hang out here more. Ah! B-because it's nice here! Not because I like spending time with you! Don't get the wrong idea!

Poke

Unacceptable! Those fingers should be picking up trash, not poking me!

Gift

Yoink! Thanks. This is neat and I'm glad you let me take it.

Upgrade to Crush

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You got me. I admit it. I'm impressed by how much effort you've put into getting rid of litter, and how much people are using the bins we set up. But you wanna know something else?
I already knew you were going to figure something out. You just have this air of determination about you. Not only can I respect that, but I like your spark!

Crush

You'd better be here to give me some kind of compliment! I thought of one I want to give you, but I don't want it to seem out of the blue, so you have to start.

Flirt

I guess I should apologize to you for being so crabby earlier. Look at me. An attitude problem is basically the only way people will take me seriously.
If you go charging into the surf to get a plastic bag outta the water, make sure it's not a jellyfish first! Not that I'm speaking from any kind of personal experience or anything!
C'mon, we're gonna dig some holes in the sand! I LOVE digging holes in the sand! You never know what kind of trash you're gonna uncover, and it's really satisfying to throw it all away!
Hmph. I won't say that I have a crush on you, but I won't say that I don't have a crush on you either.
OKAY I HAVE AN IDEA. What if we made garbage bins shaped like an open mouthed fish? We could have a sign saying "Feed me trash! It's my favorite!" on it. People would use something like that, right?

Poke

Yes! I was hoping you'd do that! Now come here, it's MY turn! Heeheehee!

Gift

Cool! I'd fight someone over this. Thanks!

Upgrade to Sweetheart

Oy! You bu...bble? Bubble. Yep. That's what I meant to say. You've got a pet name now. That's okay with you, right?
Ha-HA! Good. I wasn't really going to give you a choice. I think bubble really suits you, 'cause you're both fun and it makes me happy looking at you.

Sweetheart

Y'know, I was feeling a little "left shark" until you showed up. Thanks for making me feel better.

Flirt

Another trash event prevented by the one and only Beach Initiative To Clean Hastily! Oh. I guess since you helped, I should make you an honorary member so you can have some credit too. How does vice president sound?
Me n' you, sitting in a tree! C-L-E-A-N-I-N-G! You'd be surprised how dirty leaves can get.
Thinking about it, I'm kinda glad I rented that beach shack for the Beach Initiative To Clean Hastily headquarters. Can you IMAGINE the scandal if I just left the hundreds of gifts I make you get me out on the sand? Yikes.
Where do you keep your snacks? I want some. Sharing your snacks is a good way to prove you like me.

Poke

Yes! I was hoping you'd do that! Now come here, it's MY turn! Heeheehee!

Gift

Why can't I hold all these gifts? I guess I lack discipline. Better give me more stuff so I can train!

Upgrade to Girlfriend

Bow down to the awesomeness that is me, your girlfriend, coming up with plans! I have just thought up the ultimate way to make sure the partygoers clean up after themselves! We'll offer a prize to the person who cleans the most trash!
Admit it. You're in awe. Maybe because I just called myself your girlfriend out loud, or maybe because I just blew your mind with my plan. Hopefully it's both!

Girlfriend

You put a smile on my face, bubble. Buuuuut it's up to you decide if it's because I'm feeling happy, or if it's because I'm up to something!

Upgrade to Lover

There's something I've been meaning to tell you, but I don't want you to make a big deal out of it, okay?
Here it goes. I'm IN love with you. My heart is full of love FOR you. And? I love you. Just in general. You're wonderful, bubble!

Lover

Hi, bubble! Oooh, you're so cute you make waves in my heart!

Seduce

Admit it! You're like a helpless piece of plastic caught in the waves of my awesomeness!
Do you wanna play a game or something? Checkers? Hopscotch? Wait. You can't have a winner in hopscotch, can you? What a useless game. Checkers it is!
Give me your hand. It's going on my head for a minute. I'd better not hear any complaints either! I may be demanding headpats, but my hair is silky and nice to touch. You'll like it.
Heehee! I like to think that I'm your deadliest catch. Even including that diver girl who can hold her breath forever! I bet she could snatch a plastic bag off the ocean floor in no time flat!
How did I get to the point where I feel like my life would suck without you? Not that I'm complaining, I've just been daydreaming about being with you since the moment I saw you... and now it's my reality. I'm grateful.
I'm just... really angry for no reason! Do you know what that means? You need to get your butt over here and hug me! Being hugged by you makes me feel calm and nice.
I... I love you! But it's kind of embarrassing to say, dummy.
Jeez! You're gonna blind someone with that smile! Heehee, I'm just pulling your leg. I really love your face, and I like the way it lights up when you see me. I hope I light up like that too when you're around!
Punch, buddy! Aw, come on, it's just a little love tap! How else are you supposed to know I'm thinking about you?
We're so good together! If I'd known a huge pile of tickets was all it would take to end up with someone like you, I would have founded the Beach Initiative To Clean Hastily MUCH sooner.
Yes! I'm just so happy that you're mine, mine, mine!
You're positively eco-friendly! Which is the highest compliment you can give a person. You're welcome.
Your love hit me like a tidal wave. I was defensive about it, but it carried me to exactly where I needed to be - in your arms.

Poke

Heehee! Ah! No! Heehee! Wait! Heehee! Watch out, I don't wanna punch you by accident!

[Moonlight Stroll] I can't believe you think the figure in the moon is a rabbit or some guy. It's clearly a BEACH! The sand's the speckled part, and the water goes out from the middle... You see it, right?
[Beach] I was a bit jealous of the beach babes you were hanging out with... but now I'm one of them! Hooray!
[Sightseeing] From a cleaning standpoint, that was a nightmare of endless leaf litter. From a date standpoint, though... what a beautiful place!
[Movie Theater] Of course I live under a rock. As the founder of the Beach Initiative To Clean Hastily, I don't have time to keep up with pop culture! But... since we're already here, can we see it again?

Nixie

Adversary

Shhhh! My favorite part's coming up! The shark is about to CHOMP that boat in half! Whoops... spoilers. Hehe.

Sorry

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water, amiright?
Whale, whale, whale, what do we have here? Smells like sharkbait! Heehee, just kidding. Thanks for joining me!
Oh, I know who you are! You are… someone in need of some novelty 3D glasses! Here you go! Heehee!
You look pale. And you're trembling. Are you cold or something? Maybe you should towel off!

Gift

I'm gonna getcha... I'm gonna getcha... Boop! Gotcha!

Poke

Whoa whoa whoa, watch the nose! You know we're sensitive there, right?

Upgrade to Nuisance

Wow, what an amazing movie! Don't forget to stay and watch aaalll the credits - out of respect for the filmmakers (and sharks) who worked hard on it!
Oh, hey! That was just a blanket announcement I make after every showing. You're the first person who's actually stuck around…

Nuisance

So... Did you like the movie? Do you want to go for a swim and talk about it?

Sorry

You look pale. And you're trembling. Are you cold or something? Maybe you should towel off!
By the way, I left some corn sitting out in the sun, so we should have popcorn aaannyy minute now…
I love hanging out on the beach. The movie nights down in Atlantis kinda suck... 'cause the popcorn gets soggy!
Thanks for being here. Most people avoid me… Maybe because I lean into the whole "big scary shark" thing, you know, for fun… even though I'm really a big softie who wouldn't hurt a shrimp.
I don't know about you, but watching a heart-pounding movie really works up my appetite. I could eat about 45 pounds of food right now! What do you say, wanna grab a bite?

Gift

I'm gonna getcha... I'm gonna getcha... Boop! Gotcha!

Poke

Ahh! Swim away! And back… And away! Heehee! This is fun!

Upgrade to Frenemy

So far, I've shown the one with the big shark terrorizing the beach, the one with the REALLY big shark terrorizing the beach, and the one with TWO sharks terrorizing a water park!
What should I show next? Oooo, maybe the one where the shark is a mob boss? That one's quite thrilling!

Frenemy

Would you walk around and hand out these fliers to let people know about the movie marathon? Actually, my legs could use a stretch, too... I'll walk with you!

Sorry

SPILL!

Gift

What's this? Is it a piece of Paradise Beach Bash memorabilia? Does everyone get one?

Poke

Ahh! Swim away! And back… And away! Heehee! This is fun!

Upgrade to Acquaintance

What do you MEAN no one wants to watch terrifying shark attack movies at the Paradise Beach Bash? Don't they like fun?
Wait a minute… is this why the line up at the Snack Shack is so long? Because everyone's too scared to go back into the water? Darn it!

Acquaintance

See this big, toothy smile? It might look threatening, but it's actually because I'm genuinely happy to see you! I wish more people understood that...

Talk

Oooo, did you see the one where the big tornado comes and teaches all the sharks how to fly? What a concept! I wish that would happen to me!
Word of warning: I try reeeally hard not to spoil the ends of movies, but… I just have a really big mouth! Maybe that's why no one wants to sit and watch these films with me?
I've got this song stuck in my head! It goes "Dun dun... dun dun... dun dun dun dun... dun dun DUN DUNN!!!" and then the shark jumps out of the water!
Rawr! I'm a cold-blooded predator! Only literally, though. Figuratively, I'm quite warm and friendly!
Maybe we can convince Lustat to watch the next movie with us! I'm sure she'll enjoy the shade under the big screen. Also, I couldn't help but notice that her teeth are kinda sharp… like mine… Do you think she's secretly a shark-girl, too?

Will you help me pick out some more... lighthearted... beach-themed movies? Sadly, I no longer trust my own judgment...
Thanks! Clearly, asking you for help was the right choice. So at the very least, I must be a good judge of character! Faith in myself: restored!

Friendzoned

Do you like stories? I know a great shark tail. Those two things are unrelated. Teehee!

Talk

Aww, man! I lost a tooth! Oh well, I'm constantly growing new ones. Hey, maybe I could hand out shark-tooth necklaces to everyone at the Beach Bash? Surely they'd like me then!
I rocked an eyebrow piercing once. Actually, it was a fishhook I accidentally swam into… Anyway, now I have this cool tiny scar! Do you see it? Look closely! Reeeeeally closely! Hey, your sunscreen smells good...
Did I ever tell you about the time I was captured by a glamorous pirate lady? She threw me back when she realized I wasn't a mermaid. Which honestly kinda hurt my feelings!
Confession time - I'm scared of clownfish. Needless to say, I will not be showing that particular movie…
Do you like my fishnet stockings? I made them myself out of reclaimed fishing nets! Now THAT'S how you save the ocean and look good doing it.
Have I told you I like you yet? If I haven't, guess what? I like you! And if I have, guess what? I still like you!

Gift

Another present? But I don't deserve this! How about I trade you some sand and seashells for it? Then we'll be even!

Did you know vending machines kill more people than sharks? It's true! There are ZERO recorded instances of sharks being killed by vending machines! Still, I think I'll stick to lining up at the Snack Shack... just in case...
You're looking yummy, sharkbait! Again, I'm not actually going to eat you. Unless…?
I found a SUPER cute rainbow bikini top in the water. Someone must have lost it while surfing. Should I try to find the owner? Or should I claim it for my own and finally get the chest support I've been needing?

Crush

Do you prefer chocolate or gummy candy mixed in with your popcorn? Just curious... no reason... I'm not planning you a special, personalized surprise feeding frenzy for the next movie...

Flirt

You wanna know why I call you sharkbait? It's because I find you very... alluring.
I just learned a new ability! It's called "surf", and it means you can ride around on my back while I swim across oceans!
You're so even-keeled. Like a boat on a calm sea during sunny weather. I guess that's why I feel so relaxed around you.
Do you like stargazing? Some people say a whale shark's spots look like constellations, so... I could be your night sky.
Be honest. Have you been going around saying nice things about me? It's just that… lately, people seem less scared of me. And more willing to chat. I'm not complaining - it's wonderful! Thank you, sharkbait.

Gift

Wow! I saw something JUST like this at the bottom of the ocean once. But that one was covered in barnacles, and this one is nice and clean. Thanks!

Whale sharks may not be one of nature's perfect killing machines, but I think I'm at least a contender for one of nature's perfect kissing machines! Let's test my theory!

What's your favorite color? I hope it's... shades of steely ocean blue with white polka dots.
Once upon a time, a whale shark became totally obsessed with a marshmallow, and… Heehee! Heeheehee! I'm sorry, it's just such a cute mental image! Heeheehee!
I've decided: after the Beach Bash, I'm going to take you on a seven-day vacation somewhere tropical where no one can bother us. It'll be your very own personal "Shark Week"!
You make me wanna breach for joy.

Good news! I found a movie where the shark is portrayed as a misunderstood yet lovable individual. I'm definitely going to show this one to the crowd, but… I feel like maybe you've already seen it?
I've swum all over the world in search of great beaches, but this one is by far my favorite. Because this one has something no other beach has: you!
Being with you is the most fun I've ever had - in and out of the water.
I wish the Paradise Beach Bash could last forever and ever...
I'm so glad you took the time to check out my beach cinema club. And that you called me out for terrorizing everyone with all my scary shark movies. …And that you helped me get back in their good graces, hehe!
You light up the whole beach. And that's saying something, because it's pretty sunny out here!
In my eyes, you're the best thing that's happened since buttered popcorn!
You are an absolute pearl. Rare, precious, beautiful… weirdly smooth...
Most people scream and flee when they see a shark. They don't stop to ask if the shark is a great white, a hammerhead, a gentle whale shark, or even some bizzaro shark-girl hybrid with a heart of gold! But you did, and that made all the difference.
Let's play! We could chase each other around in the surf, or go diving for treasure, or even... I dunno... borrow Nova's skateboard? I don't care, I just want to have fun with you!

Gift

Beachin' gift! Thanks, sharkbait.

Poke

TAG! You're it! Heeheeheehee! C'mon, you're supposed to chase me back into the water!

Dates

[Moonlight Stroll] Looking at the stars reminds me of swimming in the dark ocean surrounded by bioluminescent algae. After the Beach Bash, I'll take you on a midnight swim so we can experience all that beauty together.
[Movie Theater] Hey, wait a minute! Why did we just watch a movie INDOORS when we could be watching movies OUTDOORS? Don't get me wrong, I had a nice time, but still...
[Sightseeing] Any date where I get to eat taiyaki is a fin-tastic date in my books! Next time, let's hold hands and feed each other.
[Beach] The beach is my favorite place in the whole world. They really couldn't have picked a better spot to host the Paradise Beach Bash. I mean, c'mon - it's even in the name!

Trivia

The music for this event is the track Paradise Beach from the Hush Hush soundtrack.

Change Log

V0.438 (Jan 2026): the dialogue line for Shelly's event was changed - formerly "(You bid the beach farewell as the portal closes around you, and... What's that out of the corner of your eye? Was that a girl jumping in after you...!?)".
