Hendrik's Task List

[bearshermark]

[Scrawled quickly just before the mad dash to leave. No fancy handwriting here]

Quick! I need a list of activities to do at the beach!

Make him let you bury him. In the sand.

[bearshermark]

Bury him? That sounds dangerous.

[darkenedmoon]

Oh, only up to his shoulders!

[bearshermark]

That sounds fun. Maybe it'll force him to relax.

I wonder if he'll let me.

[darkenedmoon]

I suggest asking the duck children for aid.

[bearshermark]

That could be an idea. I wonder how he'll feel about being ordered to have fun.

[darkenedmoon]

Oh, I cannot wait!

[That might out her, but.]

[bearshermark]

You must know him well to be so enthused.

[darkenedmoon]

He has had this coming, and I wish you luck in this endeavour.

Find and inner tube and float lazily on the ocean... avoid sea monsters.

- Hel [That's what she planned to do]

[bearshermark]

That sounds nice, but what is an inner tube?

[paradoxical_personality]

It's a two-dimensional circle of a rubbery material with a cut out in the middle, that's filled with air to remain buoyant.

[bearshermark]

Oh. I wonder if they'll have any of those.

[paradoxical_personality]

If not it wouldn't be hard to find someone to conjure one up. It's not a complicated design.

[bearshermark]

That's true. I'll add it and ask around, thank you!

[paradoxical_personality]

No problem. [He hadn't asked for more suggestions but Skuld wasn't here to add her two cents either] Some people like to play games when they go to the beach or eat copious amounts of food that they cook over an open flame.

[bearshermark]

Well I don't think I'll have to go so far as to order him to eat.

What kind of games?

[shiningkindness]

There's lots of things to do at the beach! You can go swimming, make sand castles, sunbath, look for hermit crabs or shark teeth, go snorkling to see the underwater creatures...

[Really, should could go on.]

Really, it's just about having fun.

[bearshermark]

Sand castles? How do you make them?

[shiningkindness]

There are actually a lot of different ways to make them. The easiest way is just using sand and some water to make as best a castle as you can.

[bearshermark]

That does sound fun. I'll definitely have to make him try it with me.

[shiningkindness]

Who?

[bearshermark]

Hendrik. He's going because I am of course, but if I don't make him have fun, he'll just stand there and glower at everyone. So I'm making a list of fun things for him to do while we're there.

[shiningkindness]

Oh! Okay. What kinds of things does he like to do? Maybe we can find something related to that that he can do at the beach.

[bearshermark]

He likes sparring.

I actually don't know if he has any real hobbies. I know I tried to tell him he should try bala-inlota sometime, but he insisted that he didn't have time for hobbies.
