ALEX AT THE BEACH

Damn, it was good to finally hit the beach. It'd been way too fuckin' long since everything was this relaxed, but hey, nothin' was better than getting out for the day. He'd have liked to bring Vegas along, but she'd said something about hanging out with friends for the day. Well, it was good that she was making friends, so he wouldn't be too upset about it.

"Yo, babe, you want a drink?"

Cracking open a beer as he leaned back in his beach chair, Alex watched the waves with a content smile on his face. Man, it sure was nice out here. Nel'd mentioned a friend was coming for a visit too, yeah? That was good. It was kinda hard to explain, but he liked the idea of meeting her friends. Made their whole thing feel like...well, even more official, you know?

The Heat of the Sun, the Heat of the Heart [Alex, Nel, Tier] Beach

NELLIEL TU ODELSCHWANK

"Yes, please."

She was sitting in the sand, the idea to create a sandcastle had come to mind and so she had set herself to work on that while she waited. Harribel could hardly be called a friend, an acquaintance that she was friendly with though? Yes. It would be good to let her settle, they were both former Tercera Espada without their fraccion who they held dear to them after all.

It was strange how it all foiled.

Her hand worked on moulding the next part of the castle. It was a nice castle, it didn't look like that awful Las Noches for one. She hated that thing.

Tier Harribel | The Shark of Hueco

A beach? How strange of a meeting designation. However, it is the first time that she has been sought out by another. It would prove rude to simply turn down the invitation. That doesn’t make things any less foreign for the former Tercera Espada. A Garganta opens over the sands of the beach, depositing the Arrancar a few meters away from Alex and Nelliel. Dressed in her normal white attire, Harribel is not too acquainted with Beach etiquette. She does know that humans normally wear different attires due to their lack of resistance to the high temperatures, but she does not see a reason why she should have to. Besides, that string wear does not cover her face at all, and she would not want to cause a panic because of her looks.

Absently moving her hand to the zipper that hid her lower jaw, she moves over to the two that are waiting for her. Hueco Mundo proves this lively at times, but that is, of course, for the wrong reasons. The waves are rather nice, her affinity to water pulling her attention to the sea as she moved. However, that would prove haphazard for her as a child’s abandoned hole leaves her stumbling and almost falling. That was embarrassing, but her stoic expression barely faltered. Not even the laughs of a few kids not too far off caused her to lose her composure. She wouldn’t mind retreating back to Hueco Mundo though.

“Nelliel…” She greets, making her way over a tad quicker before looking down at the sand castle. Seeing the other Espada dressed for the occasion actually causes for her to feel a bit dissatisfied. Why? She doesn’t know exactly.

ALEX AT THE BEACH

"Gotcha. Heads up."

Pulling a chocolate milk out of the cooler and giving it a gentle underhand toss to her, Alex watched her with a small grin. It was cute, seeing her put that together. He'd probably help her out in a bit, but watching sure was nice in its own right...

Oh. Seemed like the guest'd arrived. On one hand, Alex wanted to say something about her outfit, but on the other hand, he wasn't even actually sure where to begin. Plus, it wasn't like Nel's usual clothes when they met were exactly high fashion, so that wouldn't have worked out great anyway. Oh well. Giving the newcomer a small wave, despite the fact that she technically hadn't acknowledged him at all, Alex greeted her with his usual relaxed and friendly demeanor.

Yeah, friendly. He's a friendly guy, leave him alone.

"Yo. Tier, yeah? I'm Alex, nice to meet ya. Want a drink? It's kinda hot out today."

NELLIEL TU ODELSCHWANK

Without moving her attention from the sand castle she caught the drink off centuries of instinctive movement and pesquisa. Nelliel sure didn't appreciate this heat, the beach was a nice place to cool off. It was time for a break from her little endeavour with the arrival of Tier anyway, she poked the straw in her chocolate milk and started to sip. How could one not like such a treat, really?

"Harribel."

She responded just as bluntly, really? That was it.

"Oh, come now. Surely you can muster more for me than just my name? Why are you dressed like that anyway? You're going to scare the children by walking around like that with your zanpakuto strapped to your back and your face obscured."

She felt inclined to point that out, it wasn't like it was intentional on the part of Harribel. She did feel like she ought to point it out to her fellow Arrancar though. Then again, it wasn't like her mask fragment was any less discomforting for young people she imagined.

What a predicament.

Tier Harribel | The Shark of Hueco

Mmm… “...”

She does not have a response for Nelliel’s inquiry. Small talk is not her forte, nor has she ever been in a situation where she is required to relax and enjoy a day. Even with her Fracción, she proved the least lively. Then, they are on the subject of her outfit which is even harder to sum up. Tier is not familiar with shopping. She is not familiar with any of this. She is still trying to understand the appeal of a beach. She is annoyed at times with the dunes of Hueco Mundo. Humans must find it just as unpleasant, if not more, but everyone around her seems to be enjoying themselves.

“I apologize, Nelliel. I am unaccustomed to Earthly norms. It is strange to leave one desert for another. I do not own an outfit like yours, and I am sure that the others would find my appearance unsettling.”

Her eyes do fall on Nelliel, obviously picking apart the woman’s outfit. It is revealing, and leaves nothing to the imagination. It is similar to her own outfit in ways. However, one is formal and the other obviously isn’t. The same can be said for Nelliel’s spouse. He is just as bare. Today will be interesting, to say the least. Watching Nelliel drink whatever it is she is drinking doesn’t help her understand anything. Hollows do not need to consume nutrients, and Tier is special in her inability to consume food. Ah. It seems she feels a bit jealous.

“Hello…, Alex. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance.” That’s a better way to greet someone, yes?

ALEX AT THE BEACH

"Ah, c'mon, I'm sure the kids around here have seen way scarier things than a lady with a mask on. The sword might be a bigger worry, but I'm pretty sure the kids around here would think it's sick as hell."

Alex, of course, had no particular context for why Tier dressed the way she did, or for her general personality, but that hardly mattered anyway. He was in a good mood, and even if these two seemed like they might've been off to something of a rocky start, he wasn't gonna let a trip to the beach go poorly.

"Anyway, it's nice meetin' you too. Always good to make friends, yeah?"

Given her awkward personality, Alex thought maybe he should be at least a little bit less...well, himself about it. Normally, he wouldn't have cared that much, but his understanding of the situation meant he wanted to be cool with a friend of Nel's.

He wasn't the brightest.

NELLIEL TU ODELSCHWANK

Nelliel wondered how long Harribel spent in that desert, too long if she had forgotten all these norms. Granted, she couldn't speak. From the time which she died compared to the modern world which she experienced there had been a lot of changes- and her dear friend Abalia had been introduced to her by a matter of public indecency on her part. Right, she couldn't be too critical of Harribel's ignorance now. She sure had gotten comfy in this world, hadn't she?

"Mmm. You make a fair argument, we can get you sorted out shortly. Places with swimsuits are fairly close to the beach after all."

What luck right? Of course the beach would have stores for beach-related needs nearby. Nelliel could get the fellow former Espada sorted easily, it would be just like taking Vegas shopping and helping her try things on.

"Regardless, do try and have fun today. Yes, Tier? The lonely desert and your inclination for solitude must leave you starved for people to talk to."

Tier Harribel | The Shark of Hueco

“Starved… I suppose…”

She did not say that with confidence, obviously unsure if social contact is what she’s missing in her life. After her resurrection as a Hollow, she had lost a lot of her general knowledge on Earthly subjects. However, as she sees more, there’s a constant ticking in the back of her head reminding her little by little of her human life. Of course, she’s unable to recall anything of her past, but the constant déjà vu proves annoying. At first, she didn’t know what a beach was, but as soon as she stepped foot on it, it felt as if she used to live her life here. Maybe she adored beaches in the past. Maybe her powers are representative of it. She’ll never know.

“If you believe my appearance will cause no issues, I will not refute changing clothes.”

She is unsure about leaving her Zanpakuto behind somewhere, but this is a situation where weapons are normally prohibited. Even if something were to go awry, there are enough capable individuals here to ensure everyone’s safety. She is more cautious about her appearance than if she is able to protect her friends. Friends? Strange. They barely know one another, but Alex has already labeled her as being worthy of his friendship. He is an interesting man, reminding her of that one Shinigami who had invaded Hueco Mundo so long ago to save his friend. The straightforward ones must be Nelliel’s type.

“Continuing on, how does one go about enjoying the beach?”

She feels, by instinct, that she will enjoy herself, but she can’t shake the strange feeling looming. Knowing that you know what to do and actually being able to do it are two different things. She is sure that whatever familiarity is bothering her will help her only so much with actually enjoying her time here.

ALEX AT THE BEACH

"Ah, it's easy to have fun at the beach. Sandcastles, volleyball, swimming. Shoulda seen me a couple years back, I was out here oil wrestling all the time. Er, not that I'm saying you should jump right to that. You get what I mean."

Alex actually didn't know at all whether or not Tier did, in fact, get what he meant, but that was fine. She'd figure things out.

"Tell you what, you two go snag a bathing suit and I'll get everything for a good ol' beach cookout. What kind of food you two want? Drinks too. Just whatever sounds good, really, if I can grill it that'll be easier."

This was honestly pretty good in Alex's book. He hadn't gotten to show off his cooking chops in a hot minute, and besides, when was there ever a bad reason to have a sweet beach bonanza?
