friendship was a mistake [closed]

They all needed a vacation, he'd said. They should take it together, he'd said.

After that little bit of uncharacteristic thoughtfulness on Kaiba's part, he regretted it almost immediately. But the plans were now set in motion, too far along to stop without undoing the progress he'd been making these last few weeks.

That was how he found himself on Hano Beach, dressed in his casual beach wear (with cargos. rip.) and sitting on a large trunk full of Stuff. His smaller Pokémon are nearby, playing in a shallow puddle he'd carefully dug for them and stuck an umbrella over.

There's a table with Anela's famous berry smoothies, also with an umbrella over it, and chairs for the humans to sit and relax. Have fun. Try not to kill each other.

part one: busting on the beach

Come enjoy a smoothie, lounge a while, go for a swim, or chat amongst yourselves. It's all about that chill life.

part two: rain rain go away

[blue_ice]

Various messes happen in quick succession. Peace is destroyed. Lives are ruined.

part three: welcome to hotel hell

Somehow, they've secured rooms at Hano Grand Resort! Not enough, and that's a mess on its own, but let's sort that out. And maybe play some tunes. Do try not to disturb the other guests.

part 0.5: get in, loser

Maybe the Ring-Spirit was having a perfectly reasonable day with nothing exciting happening. Maybe he was plotting something nasty. A Nasty Plot. Maybe he was torturing small Pokémon in an alleyway. Who knows?

Whatever he was doing, it's no longer relevant, because a pair of metal d10s are sailing towards the back of his head at an irritating-but-not-injurious velocity.

"HEY, DWEEB! CATCH!" Zahra's voice is half-filled with genuine affection. The other half is schadenfreude.
