After a night out with Ruby, and Scrappy the night before, she's currently trying to lounge off a minor headache. To her left, her mother, and niece play in the sand together. Deena appears to be observing some of the local flora near the edge of the beach, and to her right, Ruby is trying to relax while being lavished with attention by at least half a dozen other beach goers. Asuka does feel kind of bad for her. This whole trip, Ruby has clearly been trying to get close to Asuka, but when they're out in public, she's always swarmed with attention. Back at the beach house, they're both usually too tired to even do anything but nap, eat, or sleep either.
So, Asuka lounges on her towel, alone. Doing her best impression of a vampire by trying to stay out of the sun as much as possible. Now... If only she could do something about his headache.
//This one's open, I swear. #rp
//Meant to post another beach post today, open this time. Cannot find the energy to do so. Bleh.

This was not an opportunity any of them wanted to waste. After the guys left for their trip earlier this afternoon, Asuka, Ruby, Scrappy, Deena, Betty, and Cookie all made a little trip of their own.
The drive to their destination was only about 25 minutes, with the majority of that being due to traffic. A quarter of the time it would take the guys to reach theirs.
Betty pulls the SUV the group is riding in up to a beachside house on the beaches of Lunar Bay, and all six occupants slowly file out. The house is in a prime position for maximum vacation, as it has easy access to the beach, a direct route to the Lunar Bay pier, and Bay Way, THE tourist spot in the bay. The house itself was nice too. Two lavishly decorated stories with plenty of space for all six mares, and a VERY fancy looking hot tub out on a porch overlooking the beach.
After picking a room for herself, and her niece, Asuka changes into her bathing suit. A black bikini with white frills, black sarong to cover her legs, and a big sun hat. After she finishes helping Cookie get changed into hers, the two meet up with the other mares below the porch as they prepare to hit the beach. While Scrappy, and Deena wear fairly moderate one piece swimsuits, Ruby is wearing a very fashionable black two piece with a black sun hat. Asuka thinks she looks kind of like a vampiress trying to enjoy a beach day, even if it kills her. "Looking good, Countess." Asuka quips, with a wry smirk. Ruby retorts with a "Anything to make you blush."
The last of the group to emerge from the house is Betty, in a modest one piece swimsuit covered by a white sun dress, and sunglasses. Compliments are exchanged, and after checking to make sure they have everything they need, the group makes their way down to the beach for an afternoon in the sun. #rp

"Which one do you like? The gray cat themed one piece, or the black bikini with the white frills? Personally, I'm thinking the one piece." #rp

She was let off 5 hours early after a particularly... bad... call. After a quiet tram ride home, with all the other passengers shying away from her, Asuka finally makes it home. She finds the door unlocked, and only barely manages to muster the strength to open the door. She moreso pushes her whole body against the door to open it.
Upon entering her home, Asuka finds her brother, and niece watching a movie together on the living room TV. Nar pauses the movie upon hearing the door open. He looks over his shoulder, and is surprised to see Asuka. It looks as though he's about to speak, but then, he notices her disheveled appearance, and the distant look in her eyes. No words are exchanged. Nar simply rises from the couch, and shuffles over to the front door. Asuka collapses forwards, Nar catching her into a hug. Asuka heaves a gasping breath, then begins to sob uncontrollably into her brother's chest.
Nar says nothing. He only closes the door behind Asuka, then gently guides her over to the couch. He sits, and Asuka practically melts on top of him. Her form little more than a sobbing mess atop him. Nar gently strokes the back of her head, as he whispers comforts, and assurances into her ear. Beside them, Cookie glomps onto her aunt, with comforts of her own. At this, Asuka's sobs pause momentarily. Her head turns so that she can look at Cookie with one eye. Suddenly, Asuka's arm flashes out, and she pulls Cookie close to her, sobs beginning anew.
That action alone gives Nar a pretty good idea of why Asuka might be so distressed right now. He'd heard there was an accident at a daycare only an hour or so ago. No details, but he'd rather not know. More than likely, Asuka responded to it. Nar's hug grows ever so slightly tighter. He even hugs Cookie tighter as well. He can't even begin to imagine how much Asuka is hurting right now. Nor could he imagine how he'd react if it had been Cookie in that accident.
There, in the living room, the three share a hug until Asuka sobs herself to sleep. Then, and only then does the hug break, and Nar carry his sister to her room to tuck her into her bed. #rp

After Ruby, and Roy started joining the band for their visits to Shifty Sai's, the restaurant's owner, and band's personal friend, Artuo has re-modeled his dining room a little. For the most part, it's the same, only now, there's a big, circular corner booth in the back right corner of the dining room. The walls behind it feature Attack on Mango merchandise, and photos, instead of the usual Tex-Mex decor the rest of the restaurant uses. The booth comfortably fits all 8 of it's usual occupants, with room enough for a chair or two to be pulled up for guests.
As of right now, the booth is almost full, save for one spot. One of the usuals, Deena, is not present. She's busy overseeing the furnishing of her new flower shop. Despite this, the band, it's two former members, and Cookie all sit, and celebrate their successful release.
"I'm telling you, Nar. You've got chops." Roy tells his old friend, pointing a cheese covered chip at him. A single glob of cheese drops onto the table below, and Roy quickly shoves the chip into his mouth. He reaches out to grab a napkin to wipe up the spillage. "Oh come on. I didn't have any lyrics or anything. I was basically just screaming into the microphone." Nar responds, obviously a little sheepish. "Yeah, but there's SOUL behind it! Like there's some sort of deep seeded trauma that you're pouring out into your singing!" Suddenly, the table becomes much quieter. Asuka gives Roy a look, and he realizes he's just made a mistake without knowing it. "Uh. Sorry. You've just got great chops man." His voice picks back up again to add "You gotta write some lyrics some time! You'd be the next Parry Gripp!" This causes Nar to burst into laughter. Across the table, Asuka joins in, adding "Great Nachos, Great Price is TOTALLY a song Nar would write." The rest of the table joins in on the laughter, and Roy's earlier comment is practically forgotten.

First thing in the morning, he left to buy groceries, despite the fact that the house is fully stocked. Then, later in the day, he asked Asuka if she could babysit Cookie a few days from now. Later, after they finished recording for the day, Nar asked Roy if he could borrow his acoustic for a few days. Roy only agreed after Nar pointed out he was done recording his acoustic parts for the single, and promised to buy him a new one if anything happened to it.
Asuka's father even sent her a text telling her about how excited he is that Nar is interested in learning some of his recipes. Nar is up to something, but Asuka doesn't know what. Thankfully, she has a trusty spy in her niece. With some well placed bribes of sweets, and a few promises, Cookie has vowed to keep an eye on her father, and tell her aunt about anything she hears, or sees. Asuka knows Juno is suspicious as well. When Nar leaves the house for a delivery that night, the two grab Ruby, and convene for a meeting to discuss the possibilities. In the end, they agree to keep each other updated. All eager to find out just what Nar is up to. #rp

A warm breeze blows through the outdoor community structure of a Ponyville church. All along the concrete floor of the structure are tables set up. Most are currently occupied, while some remain empty. Along the south edge of the structure, three long table have been set up with food, plastic silverware, and drinks atop them. In the playground next to the structure, children play as their parents help set up, or sit and talk.
Asuka can't remember the last time the family managed to get so many people for a holiday celebration. The last time she'd seen so many family members was during her mother's family reunion 5 years ago. Asuka sits at a table with Juno, Ruby, Hiari, and a few of her cousins. The chairs next to her are notably empty. She knows where one of the occupants is. Off in the playground, she hears her niece shout "Wait for me!" as she chases after two other children, who are hurrying to climb the slide. The other, she has no idea where he went.
"Nar Thomas Yakushi!" Asuka's mother's voice shouts from the north side of the gathering. Asuka whips her head in the direction her mother is looking. There, she sees her brother standing over a bowl of bread rolls on the food table. The tin foil atop it has been carefully peeled back. He has one roll in his mouth, and his hand in the bowl, reaching for another. "You get your hand out of the bread rolls this instant!" Betty scolds. Nar quickly poaches another roll, then grabs his half-eaten one with his magic. "You'll never take me alive!" He then hops out from under the tin roof of the outdoor structure, then sprints behind a nearby shed to consume his stolen rolls.
Asuka's table erupts into giggles, and laughter. Asuka rises from her seat to go put the tin-foil back on the rolls, and check for any other stolen food. Once she's confirmed that two rolls are the extent of Nar's stolen goods, she returns to her table. Only a minute later, Nar slides into the seat next to Asuka. None of the evidence of his thievery is visible. Even so, Asuka can FEEL their mother giving him a glare. His first words when he sits down? "When are we eating?" #rp

Sat at their usual booth, the members of Attack on Mango, both present, and past engage in conversation as they eat. Unfortunately, Deena wasn't present at the time. She was busy finalizing the paperwork to buy a place for her own botanical shop in the city. In the right booth sit Roy, Juno, and Nar. In the left, Ruby, Scrappy, and Asuka, with Cookie in her lap.
After taking a huge bite of a taco, Nar looks around the table with a huge smile across his face. He doesn't even finish chewing before he speaks. "Man. This feels like old times." Asuka gives him a curt "Don't speak with your mouth full, Dingus." She then flicks her crumpled up straw wrapper at him. The tiny paper ball bounces off of his cheek, and falls to the table below. Beside him, Juno nods a few times. "Yeah. Just without all the PDA from Asuka, and Roy." He smirks slightly, noticing Asuka shoot him a glare. Roy simply laughs. The conversation becomes mundane again, but not for long.
After finishing off his food, Nar reaches over the table to swipe a tortilla from Asuka's plate with a cheery "Yoink!" Asuka growls a "Hey!" in response. Beside Nar, Juno folds his arms, and relaxes in the booth. "You know. It'd be cool if we all played a show together at some point. Or recorded a single, or something." All eyes at the table fix on him. Except for Cookie. She's busy taking a bite of her aunt's food. Like father, like daughter. Beside Juno, Roy raises an eyebrow. "An interesting idea, yeah, but I don't know any of your songs." Juno shrugs. "Who says it has to be one of our existing songs? We can write a new one." Beside him, Nar nods. "Yeah!" Then, he comes to a realization. "Everyone on our side of the table can songwrite." At this, Roy almost does a spit take. "Bull! You don't write songs!" Across the table, Asuka nods, sagely. "He's written one song for us. It was pretty popular too."
The table falls silent, only for Roy to break it moments later. "I've been writing a song for the past few weeks, but I'd need a full band to play it." At this, Nar leans onto the table to look over to him. "Then show us it later!" Roy simply nods. Before the conversation can go silent again, Asuka speaks. "So. Nar." Her tone is fairly serious. Eyes begin to shift towards him. "Why did you buy a playground set for the house?" Nar leans back in the booth, seemingly unbothered. "Oh! Camille is uncomfortable around other children, so I figured I'd buy us a playground so she can come over, and play with Cookie more often." Beside him, Juno perks up. "Does it need to be assembled?" Nar shakes his head. "After the treehouse debacle in 2015, I don't trust myself building things anymore." This gets a laugh from Roy, Juno, and Asuka. #rp
