The big Memorial Day Beach Party.

The staff and students of St Reinette's University departed from the University building proper; early in the morning. They all met out front of the School building, and all shared Draught Chocobos for the journey.

The staff travelled through the shroud, into Thanalan. They made a few scenic stops along the way, with Headmistress playing tour guide to interesting destinations along the way. Stopping at a cliffside in the Clutch, in Thanalan; Higgie regaled the story of the founding of St. Reinette's University and how it was upon that cliffside that the idea was born.



The rest of the journey proceeded without incident, and they group made it to Costa Del Sol, for a day of fun at the beach. Along the way, they met a bard by the name of Mana; who played the harp quite well. She joined the school as a student, and agreed to play music for the group wherever they may go.

In Costa, they commenced things by starting off with a fashion show. Four judges, six contestants. Each wearing summer clothing, and telling them what they enjoyed about summer time. Lady Evelyn took home the first prize, followed by Mana, and then another new student by the name of Nina.



After the fashion show, the students and staff moved to the water, and partook in swimming, splashing, and all sorts of water-like activities. (Including drowning, in Kalm's case.)



After the swimming and socializing, the group got together for some traditional Doman food, courtesy of Ajisai, Vonnie, and a band of moogles who apparently don't mind following them around and helping, for whatever reason. The group induldged in Miso soup, onigiri, sushi, and other various foods laid out.



After that, began the games! Starting with a game of tug-o-war, the two teams faced off in the waters; but it turned out TEAM BRAWN managed to win, with the help of Kalm, Yuja, and Sami. The other team, being mostly scrawny women, was not the least bit surprised they lost. The prize for the winning team was a complete set of Zu horns.



The next game, the group gathered around Kalm, who had the group break pieces of driftwood by any means necessary. However, as the contest progressed, the stakes were raised; until Jordan Kennedy, the physical education teacher went home with the Wind up Leviathan prize.



Then the final game of the evening, was Volleybomb! Two teams faced off with a rubber bomb ball, and they hit it back and forth across a line. Eventually Team Kalm, Yuja, Jordan, and Ajisai won. It seemed that they were on a winning streak that night! The winning team walked home with a matching set of Garlic Jester minions.

The night winded down with gathering around a bonfire, and sharing spooky ghost stories. The party goers were extremely exhausted after nearly six bells of partying and events, so the night ended on a quiet note, with everyone retiring to their own devices.



As always, I thank everyone for attending, and especially thanks to those who helped organize the events!
