It was a bright, warm day. The sun reflected off of the sands, keeping them warm. Vitalius walked along the beach, and looked around, there were shiny seashells everywhere, some very beautiful, but Almost all of them were broken in one way or another.[color•#0000FF] I want one,[/color] he decided, and he felt for one with the water in the sand, but there wasn't very much and the hydrogen imprint was faint.

The ocean was only a few feet away, and he could feel the almost lustfully warm temperature of the water. He decided that the murky depths of the ocean would probably hold more treasures, and he walked into the sea, leaving only footprints as he disappeared beneath the waves. The ocean was a wonderful bright sea green for about twenty feet, and it rapidly got darker and deeper as he went. He sensed no life, but he did not expect any, he had been told of the lack of fauna on shokushu. As he dived deeper, he could feel a vast collection of shells at the bottom of the sea, and one that literally seemed to call to him.

Waking up that morning, Makenna couldn't help but smile as she looked out the window, the weather that day clearly spectacular. Her first Saturday after classes had started she was glad for the break, her classes having become somewhat mind numbingly dull (as the first week usually is...) Leaning forward in her bed she stretched her arms out with a great yawn, the sunlight from the window by her bed illuminating her body in a bright glow.

Slipping out of bed and going about the various minutia of making oneself presentable to the outside world for the day, she pondered what she might want to do with her day. Of course she knew that she would very much like to enjoy the marvelous weather, but how? Then she remembered something her roommate had said the other day... "I can't wait to try on a bikini!"

Smiling to herself, she knew what she would do that day. Returning to her room she closed the door, sifting through her closet until she came upon a nice white bikini with light blue polka dots. Laying it out upon her bed, she also selected a light green floral print sundress for a cover up (as walking through the campus in just a bikini seemed inappropriate).

Changing out of her nightgown she put on the bikini and sundress. Moving to the bathroom to grab two ponytails to put her hair in its trademark style, she looked at herself in the mirror and smiled. Everything seemed to be in order!

Grabbing a towel off the rack and slinging it over one shoulder, she left her room, giggling to herself when she noticed that her roommate was still asleep. What a sleepyhead!

Making her way across the campus, her eyes wandered around, basking in the warm sunlight and admiring the beauty of the trees that dotted the fields on her way to the beach.

As she arrived, she spread out her towel on the warm sand, pulling her sundress back over her head and folding it as she decided to lay down, her hands behind her head and eyes closed as she relaxed in the sunlight.

As he settled to the bottom, he thought of the time that had passed so far on the island. His landing, when he had been accompanied by only Tullius, and yet met Aegir not long after. Only an hour after he left, a student had wandered to his lake. Oh hiw he had ravaged her, hours passed before she found respite. And the next morning he had caught a girl out running and followed her to her shower, and showed her just what the masters of this island could do.

Now, on this third day, he hadn't run in to any students, so he had come here to get a keepsake to liven up his private quarters on the Infinity. Thinking of the infinity, he was reminded that he needed to go into orbit soon, try and Lure in an ADD agent while Tullius collected asteroid bits for fuel for the ship. Lost in thought, he didn't notice how low he was until he settled on the sandy ocean floor, like silt in a lake.

He quickly gathered himself together, so to speak, as he was in aqua form. He could still feel the water reverberating from whatever it was. It was maybe 300 yards away. There were several large coral reefs, rather beautiful in fact. And an abundance of shells, some even taller than him.

The blonde girl on the beach let out a soft pleased sound of relaxation as the pleasantly warm sun beat down upon her from up above. It really was quite a nice day out. Feeling herself slowly drift in and out of consciousness as she lay there Makenna lifted herself up on her elbows, shaking her head to clear the fog from her rest. After all, she couldn't very well fall asleep on such a nice day without going for a swim! Especially since she hadn't been swimming at the island before!

Slowly raising herself to her feet, she left her towel on the sand with her things, figuring nobody was going to steal anything on the island; and padded her way across the warm sand to the edge of the water. The sunlight continued to shine down on her, reflecting off her bright hair and the sand, giving the beach a pleasant brightness to it to go along with the heat. Taking one step into the water, Makenna let out a small squeak. Dang that's cold!

Eventually she slowly eased herself in, the cold water causing her nipples to harden against her bikini top. Swimming out a small ways, Makenna began to float on the surface of the water, looking up into the blue sky, completely at peace.

Due to the reverberating beat of the mystery object, the surface was a mystery to him, he did not like being this blind, he could usually sense anything and everything that was in his domain for quite a ways around. He resolved to continue at his leisure, he couldn't be missing something, there wasn't any wildlife after all.. Except for the herds of sexy, nubile young girls. And not all of them counted as wild. He hoped his next catch would be different from all of the others who had been broken.

He could now see a curious green glow emanating from just around the next bend, the water was also significantly cooler, whatever this was, it was cooling a very large part of the ocean! The energy from this must be astounding, oh what possibilities!
