Today is the first day to the start of the best summer ever, and the place to be right now is Legendary Surfer's Island.
Legendary Surfer's Island is the most well known beach resort known to man kind, and only the filthy rich can afford to go, but luckily this year I was offered a job as a worker for The Pearl, the most luxurious hotel in the world which just so happens to be owned by the greatest surfer there is, that owns the beach.

After the dreadful three hour bus ride, Skye finally arrived on the Island. It was full of tourists walking around in the plaza, unfamiliar with her surroundings she walked around wondering where was this famous hotel. Feeling dumb after asking a random tourist, it was obviously that it was the hotel on the beach.
Skye grabbed her bag and carried her surf board to the hotel, once she got to the front office she found out that she wasn't the only new grom that was going to work there for this summer.
"So where will the employees be staying?" she asked the manager who was at the front office.
"There is a special place for employees, please follow me Skye." He said with a professional smile.
He lead her to the shake where all the young employees lived.
"Skye, just dial #1 if you got a problem and need assistance. And today just enjoy yourself and walk around the resort or do whatever you wish to do, since tomorrow is your first day of work." The manager said waving his hand as he headed out the door.
Skye was the first person to arrive before anyone else, so she got to choose her bed. Sure the shack was no where to be compared to the hotel, but it was a good start. She laid down on her bed taking a small nap, waiting for everyone else to arrive.

Hiroshima Hayate heard about the job at the pearl a long time ago, and through a whim, he signed up, not thinking anything of it really. Just a job, where the surf was good, the beach was amazing, and he even heard the pay was good. He never thought he would get the job. He thought it would go to a really good surfer, and someone who was way better off than he was, but when he got the call that said to be there, he smiled to himself because he knew his summer was going to be amazing.
That leads us to now. He was looking at both the beach and the Hotel, with a few bags being carried behind him. the salty smell in the air, the soft whispers of laughter and talking that came from lower on the beach, and the beach. He was an okay surfer, but getting to surf these beaches would hopefully help him become better and even after that give him a good time. This summer was a summer he knew he was going to enjoy very much.
Getting to the front desk of the lobby and announcing that he was here to work, stating his name, and his job title, which was to be desk clerk, they led him to the small shack that would be the employee area. it may not be the best way to spend his time, but he really didn't hate it. he got to what he pretty much decided was his own bed and started unpacking, putting clothing away, setting up a few things for himself to make this place a little more livable. Hiroshima Hayate was already enjoying what would be the first day of a long summer

Emmily Moaned "dad, do I really have to?" she asked, her voice raised just the slightest as she asked about the horrible, cruel, and downright horrible punishment of taking her whole summer away with the most gruesome task of taking peoples orders. "what if I do it wrong? what if the co-workers hate me? I know they will!" Emm had a fear of people, always afraid they would bully and pick on her, all she really wanted to do was stay home and go to the beach, but her father had different plans for her.
"Emm, you have to do this, it's for your own good! your always asking me for money that you don't earn and it's about time you really earn it!" He said in a stern voice, and that was that, along with other arguments and trying to get out of it, it was all settled, Emmily Strider was working at her fathers hotel as a waitress, which means she would have to talk to people, carry out food, and even be nice.
"this is not fair!" She yelled. Her things were being moved from her nice luxurious room to another because no employee was allowed to live off of site. "Daddy we live two feet from the Hotel, why do I have to live with them!" she said angrily as she walked with her stuff to her new, less amazing room, with other people she did not know. "I really don't want this!" she said as they entered the door. her summer was going to be down right boring with all this work to do.

It only took Gabe about an hour to reach the hotel, but she woke up late. Having to wake up early was a total bitch, so she simply didn't. Unfortunately after her phone buzzed off the table and into the metal garbage can, she was startled enough to have to get up. Since she was already so late, she ended up keeping the shirt she slept in on and just pulling on a pair of skinny jeans. The train ride was equally as horrible, anytime she had to sit still for more than twenty minutes was hell. Though being a maid wasn't going to be the most pleasant thing either. It was about then they she started to regret her decision.
Upon her arrival a man in a tie and suit greeted her, quickly briefing her on her duties and then taking her to where she was to stay. Maybe being a maid wasn't going to be all bad, she only worked in the mornings since that was when people were allowed to check out, and really all she had to do was make beds and restock the rooms. Other than that she was allowed to do whatever she wanted, as long as she carried around a special beeper in case they needed her, which she happily noted was waterproof so she could swim with it on.
Though she was also told that she was not supposed to use the hotel faculties, meaning the pools, diners, and such, but they were permitted to use the staff cafeteria. Finally they arrived at the shack, apparently she was the third one to arrive. Settling down on a bed, it was one nearest the wall, she threw her bag down on the floor and sat down on the bed. For a moment she wondered what would be a respectable time to stay in the room before heading towards the beach.
Taking her suit from her bag, she went in the bathroom to change and then slipped outside, going off to the beach.
It took a while to convince his father to let him get a job but when he agreed Johnathon seemed awfully surprised that his father agreed. but after hearing that he was going to work as a vallet he just seemed excited to start working and make his own living. "thanks pops i won't let you down you'll see!" he pretty much exclaimed then grabbed his bag and board and headed out.
Stepping up to the front desk He quietly said his name to avoid any prying eyes. "sorry i got here so lat it took a while to convince my father to let me get this job." he said following the manager to where the employees lived. "ahh not quite like how i grew up around but i guess if i'm going to work i better stay with the other employees." he stated stepping through the front door. Putting his bag on and empty bed he just kept looking around then started to unpack organizing while he went along looking out the window to the beach every now and then. "after i'm done here i think i might go surfing."

The bus screeched to a halt as Lana pulled on the flimsy wire alerting the driver that she was exactly where she needed to be, she began to make her way down the isle muttering a couple apologies for whoever's suitcases she might have hit on her way out,
"Thanks." she added while passing the driver. The next thing she knew she stood on sandy ground...This was the definition of unfamiliar territory. Her boots sunk into the sand and she stood out like white on black. She'd taken this job out of sheer desperation. The small town she lived in back up North not only remained economically dead from the repression, but it also did not offer the exciting clients and nightlife of this interesting little Pearl...Of course, when Lana really thought about it. If a publisher did walk up to her...She probably wouldn't say anything. Lana got sick to her stomach nerves just thinking about it.
---
Tredding through the sand onto a tiny little path Lana lugged her backpack on her shoulders and made her way to the extravagant lobby...She had a funny feeling that this was too good to be true, and she was right. Upon telling the kind front clerk her identity she was guided to an employees quarters. A shack in the sun if you will. Tiny, quaint, and more than likely bubbling with stories to be told.
"Now if you don't mind, I'll be on my way." The clerk said and before Lana could whisper thanks he was gone.
---
Lana entered the home with caution hearing just little ounces of footsteps and creeks that made her worry that she'd run into someone right of the bat. With haste she made her way down a hall way claiming a modest room with a tiny desk she was sure she'd pen many-a novels at.

An hour passed after her nap, she got up and scratched her eyes. Waking up slowly she heard steps around the house.
Her face grew big, and she got up and went to go greet everyone. Skye jumped off the bed and closed the door right after her.
Walking towards the living room of the shack she noticed that no one was there, nor in the kitchen.
Skye cried out.
"Hey is anyone here?" Her voiced echoed loudly around the corridors and through the walls.
She stood there waiting to see if anyone was there or not.
Skye all of a sudden remembered that she had a day off today, just like everyone else. Before she left the living room area she shout out one more time.
"I'm going to the beach to catch some waves, does anyone want to join me?" She yelled out hoping that people were in the shack, and not ghosts.

after he finished unpacking Johnathon quickly grabbed his board and walked down the stairs stopping right when he saw one of his room mates as she was calling out to see if an one wanted to go surfing. "there's no need to yell i think every one can can hear you at the hotel." he said in an attempt to make a joke. "any way i was just heading out." grabbing the door knob he opened the door then turned. "well see ya out there." he said stepping out on the porch and walking off towards the beach.
The sand felt great under his feet and the waves looked killer. "sweet nothing i enjoy more then surfing with these conditions." he said waxing his board like his old man taught him how to do. "all the better i get to surf with out being near any sharks." When he finished he sat for a second before heading out.

When Hiro was finished unpacking he grabbed his guitar, changed into a bathing suit, and got a towel and began downstairs. on his way he heard a girl say something about joining her on the beach, and another guy say he was heading out and to meet him there. Hiro smiled.
"i'll go with you" he said and nodded to her lightly. noticing the girl he had just answered. "My name is Hiroshima, you can call me Hiro if you want." he said and once again smiled lightly at her. getting to know the people was probably a good idea seeing as they would be both roomates and hopefully friends for the summer. He saw no reason to let a chance to meet someone slip out of the way.
He wondered if anyone else would join them in their escapade to the beach or if they would just meet others on the beach front.

Lana peeked out of her door hearing the lot of them talking about the beach...Lana would join if she liked swimming or sunlight...actually no she wouldn't. She'd probably stumble over her words and say something stupid like 'Oh hi, I'm a potato, watch me reenact photosynthesis' She figured the best move of action was not speaking. For her dignitiy's sake. She did take note of the three of them however, they were all off to catch what Lana assumed to be sick waves.
------
Moving about Lana did start to unpack everything from home, taking out a photo frame and a family that looked to big for it, a few changes of clothes, and a moleskin...and she was done! Today had the potential to be very boring if she didn't do anything, she contemplated going out to the living room and at least greeting the lot of them and becoming acquainted. But then she thought of all the stupid things she might say;however, if she was going to be living with them she'd better at least get to know their names.
------
Ever so bravely Lana stepped outside her small door frame and headed out to the living room which was only a short excursion away. Everyone appeared to be rather friendly and the looks of things said that they were already becoming well acquainted, so she figured she'd best not take up to much of their dwindling daylight,
"Hello." She said softly forcing a mildly awkward smile, "I, um, heard you all talking and thought I'd just come see what all is going on. I'm Lana, it's nice to meet you."

Once Gabe changed into her suit she exited the shack, immediately regretting not bringing sunglasses. The sun was terrible, yet another reason she mostly chose to go out mostly at night, and the reason why she was almost as white as a ghost. She heard the girl yelling behind her and turned, arching an eyebrow at her before watching another boy appear and attempt a joke. Rolling her eyes, she managed to just step out of the way in time for him to past by her, announcing that he was going down to the beach. Another surfer apparently, since he was carrying a board. For a moment she debated bringing her own, but decided against it. The waves were okay today, but that meant a lot of people would be out and she didn't like amateurs messing her up. If she really wanted to, she would go out at night and surf.
She began heading towards the red headed boy, but as soon as she approached to say something he ran off towards the waves. Sort of rude, she thought before plopping down in the sand and crossing her legs underneath her. Well, she would just sit here then. At least until she got the energy to go back to the shack.
[ My OOC question is apparently a no. xD ]
Emm threw her stuff around. sticking up posters of her favortie people and things, letting as few as possible cloths get into their set drawers as possible, and letting the rest either unfold on top of the drawer or fall onto the floor right next to it. she didn't want to waist her time with actually getting ready. that would be annoying and a definite waist of time of her first day at the beach.
when she was all set she got into her bathing suit, got a towel, and grabbed her board. She went downstairs to see a group of people and almost paused on the stairs. she looked around, no where to be seen was her brother, which she would have settled right next to and just not talked at all, hoping no one would notice her. She disliked people with a passion. what if they didn't like her? are they mean? she hated just the thought of actually having to introducing herself.
hmph, well if she wanted to go out she had to pass them, and since they were in her way, she'd just go. "Excuse me!" she said rudely, pushing past everyone and going out the door with a slightly rude motion. the second she got out the door she didn't look back, her walk moved from a slow, angry walk, to a scared run every step she got away from the door. She hated people.
{OOC: gonna be out for a while, be back hopefully soon, i'll try and jump in when i get back, with both characters}

Valdimar Woke up from his resting place, behind the couch. He got up from behind the dirty sofa, and saw another slave to the system. He had fallen asleep behind the couch last night, after getting all of his job details worked out. The next course of action he saw was to make some food, eat it, then sleep to pass the time. His plan was to wake up in the morning, go surfing, then comeback home to the little, quaint shack. He checked his watch, it was midday.
He also stared at the girl who had woken him up with this mentioning of surfing. "Sure, gimme a second." He jumped over the couch, and ran up the stairs to get changed. He unlocked his door, threw off his jacket, and got into some gear. Coming back down he grabbed his board. It was emblazoned with a large Finnish flag. Awesome.
"You said you were going surfing right?"

Johnathon had already reached the water when he noticed some one sitting near where he was at and his little sister walking out of the shack. "hold up i'll be right there!!" he called out to them both turning around wincing because he missed a good chance but then shrugged it off and walked over to the one girl sitting in the sand "hello there i don't think we've met would you like some help up?" he asked holding his hand out towards her.
Then looking toward his sister Emma he set his board down and waved her over "hey sis this way wouldn't want you to get scared by the people behind you." He called out to her keeping his hand held out. "any way did you come to surf?" he asked with a smile while picking his board back up.

Skye waved her hand at the three people who just introduced themselves.
"Hi I'm Skye, it's nice to meet all of you." She said with a kind smile on her face.
For a moment she got distracted with all of these introductions, and completely forgot that she said she was heading to the beach.
Skye shook her head when she remembered, and immediately nodded.
"I mean yes, I'm going surfing. You're more then welcomed to join me, I'm heading to the beach right now." She said with an embarrassed look on her face.
Skye always seemed to get distracted easily, and day dream. She already had her bathing suite on underneath, she walked towards the wall where her surf board was leaning, and grabbed her beach bag.
"Ready to go?" She said all excited, as she slide on her shades.
"Hi I'm Skye, it's nice to meet all of you." She said with a kind smile on her face.

Gabe frowned somewhat, hearing red's words. She hadn't meant to distract him or anything, and surprisingly she actually felt a tad bit bad about pulling him away from the water. Then again it seemed he was also talking to someone else, and she turned slightly to see another girl that had just exited the shack. Great, she thought, another bitch to deal with. It was quite possible that Gabe was the most negative person, and she really hated most females.
The boy approached her and held his hand out, offering to help her up. "No thanks, I'm comfy down here," she said quietly, shaking her head. Suddenly he was waving the other girl over, and calling her sis. Right then would have been a very good time to leave, but she didn't want to seem overly rude. This boy at least seemed to be trying to be nice. His next question caught her a bit off guard, and her eyes flitted back up to his face. "Not right now, I can't stand amateurs getting in the way," a small smile formed on her lips as she recalled her earlier thoughts. "It's much nicer to surf at night, in my opinion."
Laughing Johnathon straightened up "that's why people alternate on and off one will get a wave you'll get another there's always enough surf to go around." he said still laughing. "oh and before i forget let me introduce myself name's john well that's what other call me, my name is actually Johnathon Strider" he said almost hollowly before turning to the water again then sat down while waiting for his sister "and just so you know my little sister is not one who makes friends easily." a small laugh escaped his mouth "though i don't see why she doesn't exactly seem like the loner type... any way i'm going to surf and yeah surfing at night maybe fun but no where near as fun as just surfing as much as you really want." putting his hands behind for leverage he looked to the sky "if you do what you enjoy then don't let other drag you down or worry about being judged' just a little something my old man used to say" he stated with another smile
Gabe nodded slowly, taking in everything that the boy spewed out. By the end it almost seemed as if he was talking to himself, as she pretty much just stared at him slightly wide-eyed. "Uh," she managed to mumble, almost not even loud enough for him to hear. "I'm Gabe, it's nice to meet you." She managed to give a faint smile, sitting up a bit straighter and turned her body slightly towards him in order to look at him without staring at the sun.
"I don't blame your sister, I sort of hate people too," -which is sort of why I wanted to get out of here before she makes her way to us. Though she didn't say that, it wasn't worth it. "It's another reason I prefer to surf at night. And it's just so much more peaceful," for a moment she looked sort of far off, thinking about the many times she'd snuck out at night to go surfing. "But if you're busy," she gestured to the water. "Don't let me keep you."
Ezra stood in the shadows of a rather overly large palm tree, smirking in amusement. He had only recently turned eighteen, yet he felt older than most here. His long blond hair clung wetly to his face and neck, from his quick swim. So far, Ezra was really liking this new job. He taught what he loved and interacting with new people every day was interesting. Graduating a semester early had its perks.
But now... He had coworkers, and lots of them. They looked fun though. Ezra could still taste the salt on his lips and the waves looked so blue and inviting. Too many people. He would surf later, tonight. He smiled to himself. Surfing at night was always fun. His aqua eyes observed it and decided they look like carefree little children. Ezra felt a twinge of envy but pushed it aside.
One girl caught his eye though. She had bright blue hair. Cute. She was currently being talked to. Ezra smirked. She didn't look exactly social. Maybe he'd help her out. He glanced at himself. His pale abs gleamed with salt water and his black shorts were soaked as if he wet his pants. Ezra shook some water out of his hair with a hand and walked over casually from where he had been standing.
"Hey," he flashed a white smile at the girl sitting in the sand. She looked tiny, but then again, he was taller than everyone he met. He met the eyes of the redhead. "Hi, I'm Ezra," then he turned to the girl. "I'm kind of hungry if you'd like to join me for a snack. I know this great place, my treat,"

"Hi, I'm Ezra," then he turned to the girl. "I'm kind of hungry if you'd like to join me for a snack. I know this great place, my treat,"
shaking his he John just sat still "no i doubt if i was here and my sis saw you she'd probably do or say something rude." he sighed looking far off. "and besides it's no fun being a loner." he said looking back "but any way if you do enjoy surfing so much just go any time you feel like it's not like i'm going to judge what being the "amateur" that i am i wouldn't have any room to talk about how any one does on how they surf." he said using his fingers in the air quote gesture then sat back. "but if i'm bugging you just let me know and i'll just head out and that will be the last you see of me today."
Gabe was still looking around for a distraction when her eyes met the blonde-haired boy that had looked as if he had just taken a swim, or was running in his bathing suit for a very long time. It wasn't a bad sight either, easy to be distracted by. Not that she would admit it, but her eyes did happen to travel down to his clearly muscled arms and abs, though when she realized it she quickly shook her head and refocused on the boy next to her. It was unlikely she'd ever see the blonde boy again, he probably was staying at the hotel and she'd be cleaning his room tomorrow morning. There goes that optimism, she thought sarcastically, watching John make air quotes with his fingers. "You're not bugging me, I just saw that you had been heading out to surf and it would suck if you missed some of those waves."
Her eyes returned to where the blonde boy was, and she was quite shocked to see that he was gone. Without realizing it she began to search for the boy, unable to find him as it was like he'd disappeared into thin air. She was startled out of her search when someone spoke, clearly a male but also not John. Eyes flitting upwards, they landed on the boy. Found him. The next bit was a blur, as she couldn't really believe that he was almost sort of asking her to go eat with him, which could very easily be mistaken for a date. "I guess," she muttered, giving John an apologetic look and promising herself that she would make it up to him later. Standing, she was momentarily glad that she had remembered to throw on a pair of black skinny jeans and a thin white shirt over her suit. "By the way, I'm Gabe."
After the male appeared John stood and grabbed his board. "oh you two had better head out if you don't want to lose your chance as well avoid the impending rude comments my sis will speak." he said with a laugh then waved good bye before going back to the water for his chance to surf and enjoy himself. 'freedom at last' he thought diving under letting one of the smaller waves pass over. As soon as a good sized one began to rise he decided to go for it the rush and excitement took over when he even went into the barrel something only the most experienced or the most dare devilish of surfers would do.
After he exited the barrel John forced a wipe out. "whew!! now that is a rush." he said to himself remounting his board then lied there and stared up to the sky 'all that time i surfed and i never even tried to surf the barrel i never knew what i was missing.' he thought kicking lightly in the water. After a while he went back to shore and just sat in the lied in the sand under the shade of a coconut tree before practically falling a sleep.

Valdimar turned to his new friends: Skye, probably the happiest of the bunch, Hiroshima, who looked to edgy for a coral reef, and Lana, who seemed nice enough. Ready to make an impression, he darted out of the room and out onto the beach, making a mad dash to the water. He didn't know what fuelled such a passionate excursion, just that he was about to run into a group of three people; oh joy.
Valdimar turned, spinning in a slow-motion movement like he was Neo in the matrix. He didn't understand that movie very well, but it was it was still awesome. He briefly locked eyes with the girl, flashing a quick smile until he saw who she was with. Probably two of the best looking beach-bums he had ever laid eyes on. This was getting interesting.
Not as interesting as his momentum, as he continued to spin and resumed running for the shoreline.

Sounds good! Thanks for taking an interest. Unless you want to be a life guard?

Re: Gnarly Waves
Woah... the pictures at the top... are huge... and while they are very pretty[ I wish I lived somewhere like that XD ] maybe you should just link to them. x.x
Re: Gnarly Waves
I also have a question about this shack, is it one shack, that every employee has their own room with maybe a male and female side, or two shacks, one male and one female. there is no definite answer that i see and everyone keeps saying 'shack' as if singular. just for 'bump into' or 'answering a call to go somewhere' so i know who's in vocal range and who's not (if it's two separate)
Re: Gnarly Waves
This might just be me being considerate but... shouldn't we wait for everyone to at least post once before reposting? It's usually proper to do so...
Re: Gnarly Waves
1 LOL rainbow dash jokes, 2 sorry about my double post as Emmily guys, i'm not used to the chat while i'm writing my posts, need to remember to hold shift and enter to actually get the spaces down
Re: Gnarly Waves
Guys I changed the character skelly, and added a new couple of things. Be free to edit yours whenever you can. I just feel like it needs to be..20% cooler.
Re: Gnarly Waves
omgomgomg :D Do we have all eight characters now? c: Does this mean we'll be starting soon?
Re: Gnarly Waves
I'll have my character up in a few hours, as soon as I get home from church. Sorry for the wait!
Re: Gnarly Waves
would it be a bad thing to ask for the last open character, along with my other one?
(if someone else wants it feel free to tell me that, i was just gonna grab it so we can begin)
