[Transmission is made from Mokona's bathroom. She's floating around in the sink with a Mokona-sized inner tube and a Mokona-sized glass of lemonade.]

Everyone's been having hard times for a while, haven't we?

Mokona thinks that everyone should do something fun, like a beach party! We can grill things to eat and swim and play games and hit watermelons with sticks. Mokona won't organize it all herself, because Mokona's too lazy and too small to carry a lot of watermelons, but Mokona will "get it rolling"!

...Those big crab monsters like to come up to the beach sometimes, so someone will have to make sure they stay far away. Or make sure that the ones who don't stay far away end up on the grill. They do that at some of the seaside restaurants. They taste good.

That could be fun! Hm, I wonder which beach would be ideal for that...

[Poke poke prod at her Omni-tool.]

...Maybe the one just north of the docks? No, too polluted... West shore might be too long a distance... South, maybe?

[mokomanjuu]

South is supposed to have good sand for building things!

[myimmunesystem]

Hm, building things out of sand...

[This intrigues the little engineer. She'll have to spend a full week cleaning the grit out of her suit afterwards, but it may be worth it.]

I think we have our beach, then!

[mokomanjuu]

Okay!

Mokona will make a sand palace!

[myimmunesystem]

[...aww. She holds back a chuckle.]

A palace, hmm?

[mokomanjuu]

Mokona's seen them in picture books, but Mokona's never built one before. They look big enough for Mokona to hang out in.

[myimmunesystem]

That won't be a problem!

[Mokona can possibly see a large white bird on the screen. He's sprawled in a kiddie pool full of ice water and looks to be asleep. However when Mokona speaks he cracks open an eye]

Have fun....

[mokomanjuu]

Really? Are you good at building?

[mokomanjuu]

Mokona always has fun!

[myimmunesystem]

I think... I think so! I've already programmed my Omni-tool to emulate the smartphone they'd given me, and I can use it to synthesize several kinds of binding materials and epoxies...

[nomen_est_numen]

Good to hear.

[Are those... feathers floating in the water? As in unattached feathers? Someone could probably come along and pick them up and the overheated bird wouldn't even notice.]

[life_is_megas_wonderful]

That sounds like a great idea, Moko-nyu! You're a genius, like always! Hahahah!

[mokomanjuu]

Uwaa~

It can do all that? Mokona was just going to use sand and water!

[mokomanjuu]

[The problem with that is that it would require getting out of her nice cool sink.]

Mister, are you going bald?

[mokomanjuu]

Mokona has a talent for ideas!

[myimmunesystem]

That's way to brittle! There would be no tensile strength whatsoever! We can do better than that!

[nomen_est_numen]

[His eyes clicker open. And he's treated to an extreme-Mokona-closeup on his screen. BUH--wait, what?]

What d'you mean, 'bald?' [He looks at the water and wilts.] Right. That.

[alittleblackmagic]

What's a watermelon? Why're we hitting 'em with sticks? Are they monsters?

[mokomanjuu]

Do they grow back?

[mokomanjuu]

They're big tasty fruit. You put on a blindfold and then you hit around until you break it open and then you eat it.

[alittleblackmagic]

[beat]

Can I use my staff?

[mokomanjuu]

Mokona doesn't see why not!

[life_is_megas_wonderful]

You sure do! I think a beach party is a GREAT idea! I wonder if we can find a less infested beach, though?

[nomen_est_numen]

Hm? [He looks up from fishing the feathers out of the water and placing them on the ground all neat and straight.] They do, yes, eventually.

[It just means he's going to end up looking a bit fluffier than usual as they grow back in all small and soft.]
