[Sand castles are great and all - but they could improve from a little bit of green, wouldn't you say? Hence why you might be surprised to find as you walk through that there's actually some... vines curling against the walls? Whoa, weird!
You can follow the trail a short ways to eventually make it to Tytree - wearing the """swim jock""" also known as The One with the Literal Butt Hole - with his ass planted firmly on the ground so that it looks like he's just wearing a normal swimsuit and stupid floaties. Apparently that doesn't bug him.
He's also got some grass growing around him, long grass, that he's not trying to weave into... a grass skirt. Grumbling to himself.]
Why's it gotta be like this anyway, huh...?! What was wrong with my clothes?!
[His fingers definitely aren't deft enough to really make an effective grass skirt but A GUY'S GOTTA DO WHAT A GUY'S GOTTA DO.]
[ PHASE II : DRESS IN DRAG ]
We gotta go, we gotta go, we gotta go!
[Could it be that you have to go?
The sandcastle is starting to collapse and Tytree is not wasting a second. He's making a mad dash, half-naked and half grass-skirted up, praying that no one sees an unfortunate flash of buttcheek as he's running.
But he's also picking up anyone who looks like they're a ) struggling or b ) just not running fast enough for his tastes, whether it's by princess-carry or tossing someone right over his shoulder.
Is the menace here the sandcastle or Tytree?]
[ PHASE IV : AND DO THE HULA? ]
[Whether you were ready or not to be shoved into one of these giant orbs, Tytree is... excited to say the least.]
Wahoo!! This is awesome, whoa!
[HE SAYS, KICKING HIS FOOT OUT SO HE CAN ACTUALLY GET A RUNNING START AGAINST THE WAVES?
Does that actually take you guys anywhere?
What did you do to deserve to be stuck in this ball with a hyperactive moron dressed like he's ready to hula?]
Nah, I think a lot of people want to help out - they just don't know how.
[HE'S AN OPTIMIST and a believer in good people, honestly. Given the fact that Tytree does have his force and is pretty good at thinking on his feet, that's how he's ended up here. Still though at the mention of "weird readings" he actually.... doesn't seem to be too surprised.]
Hm? Hm? Do you know how to sense people with powers or something?
Maybe they just need people to show them how then. [Tytree...it's sweet that you're so optimistic. Rise would believe that for about 85% of the people here, at least. She shrugs in response though, trying to think of the best way to word it.]
Something like that! It's part of what I can do back home. I think being here has made the range of people I can sense even bigger since so many people here have different powers. Know anybody else like that?
But then he's gonna turn to Mary and - they're really running out of time but he did pick her up kinda suddenly and rudely before so now he's at least going to warn—]
Oooh, never?! You're in for a treat! Hmmm, well I guess we can sorta head for shore again, but let's not go back immediately? Maybe we can find cool creatures!
[HE'S REALLY EXCITED??? Honestly Tytree's not the person that you should be looking to for ideas but regardless he's going to start walking and pushing them back over in the direction of the shore!!
At least the waves are calm for now, making it easier for them to head that way.]
[ he has no idea what Shion got himself into, BUT HOW BAD CAN THIS BE... ]
I suppose... [ he still sounds concerned mostly because if they come across a creature and they're stuck in here!? they'd be dead!
well if that happens then they just have to get out and swim away? hmm...
he shakes his head. ]
Let's say... [ he helps Tytree push the ball, mostly keeping an eye out on the ocean (his eyes do sparkle with a little of amazement though!) ] I didn't really have anywhere to travel -- do you?
[WHICH IS WHY TYTREE IS WORKING ALL THE HARDER TO DIG THROUGH THE SAND. On his knees, not unlike a dog. There is no pride to be found in this one, at least.
Regardless the vines are going to keep working too, poking through the sand to try to find Mikazuki?!]
Mm, the vines are mine - it should help us find you faster, hopefully!
[ Vine magic??? Mikazuki is intrigued but he'll have to ask more about it once they're not buried under mountains of sand. Actually -- those vines that he was staring at dust off sand in just the right place and reveal the sheath of his vessel. There's utter relief that washes over him, tension ebbing away while he digs free himself. ]
There, there. I should be alright now, thank you. We should make a speedy, ah..."heroic" exit now, yes?
[ BEFORE they're buried like his vessel had been. ]
C-Coward?! [ALREADY HE'S SHAKING HIS HEAD even if she can't see him.... But no he might be hugging the dogs affectionately now, even as his voice trembles a bit.] To think.... that's what it looks like...!
I'm never a coward, miss!
[ . . . . . but also -]
E-Even though that's preferable to being a pervert?! Let me fix one problem at a time, okay...!
Apparently the smoothie bar manager agrees as he slides over some concoction - Eating Tytree Crowe Soup, apparently - and Tytree puffs out his chest, gesturing to it.]
[Raven still looks baffled, but he takes the smoothie nonetheless. He'd never say no to a free drink. ...Then he squints at it suspiciously, then over at the chalkboard.]
Wait, does it have strawberries or doesn't it? I'm kinda confused.
[if you want him to wear the lei, he's wearing the lei, dust
But apparently Tytree is still spitting out sand, doing that gross thing where he's trying to brush it off his tongue with his hand... alas poor tastebuds, he knew you well]
But you had the opportunity? Perhaps I could teach you sometime, if you're interested... I am the Academy's greatest success story, after all.
[ Something about Tytree's smile is so pure! It's so natural. Shu can be happy, pleasant, all those things but it sometimes borderlines on the saccharine. ]
Advertising? Hm. That's a strength for sure. Marketing has never been my favorite thing to deal with. Perhaps, in some time, you could handle that sort of thing for me? If it's not too much trouble, that is.
[ Nothing wrong with being loud. He's used to much louder and sometimes, dumber people. Tytree doesn't seem like that at all. ]

RUBY
[wtf is up with all these speedsters
Not that Tytree isn't pretty swift himself but he looks a little confused at that - ]
You sure?!
[LISTEN HE'S JUST TRYING TO HELP CIVILIANS???
oh tytree, you don't even know who you're dealing with]
no subject
[She'll just grin at him, full of confidence.]
Put me down and I'll show you, okay?
RISE

I'm gonna lift you up again, okay?!

[ No, just do it. ]
SHION

KASHUU
[ . . . . . ]
Mmm? Are you not good with language, my friend? You have a sword - that doesn't mean you are a sword.
[OH LITTLE DO YOU KNOW, TYTREE]
Or is that a riddle? Hmmm, I'm not the best with word games.
no subject
No, I'm definitely a sword. The sword that I have is me!
[A PAUSE... It seems like he might leave it at that for a second, but no, he's marginally more merciful.]
I'm a sword spirit.
MIKAZUKI
Got it, got it!!
[WHICH IS WHY TYTREE IS WORKING ALL THE HARDER TO DIG THROUGH THE SAND. On his knees, not unlike a dog. There is no pride to be found in this one, at least.

ROCK LEE (SOUL BROTHER)
[ . . . . well. There are worse things than finding a soul brother immediately.]
Ah... Well, when you put it like that.... Then come on, soul brother, we're almost there!!
no subject
[There's just some more sand pillars in the way, but Rock Lee leaps up and starts kicking most of them down.]
FOUR
Ahh, I'll see, I'll see! Hey, hey, do you serve regular water here, buddy?
[To which the shop keeper points to the item on the board that seems to be regular water mixed with sparkling water.
For an absurd price.
Tytree blanches.]
What.... That's robbery!
CULLEN
Hmm? Then what's the problem?
[TYTREE IS A SIMPLE SOUL
WHY WOULDN'T YOU WANNA DO SOMETHING FUN AND NEW AND EXCITING]
no subject
[ HOW DOESN'T HE GET THAT BEING IN A FLOATY ORB WHILE MOSTLY NAKED WITH A GUY IS WEIRD... ]
RAVEN
[Good enough.
Apparently the smoothie bar manager agrees as he slides over some concoction - Eating Tytree Crowe Soup, apparently - and Tytree puffs out his chest, gesturing to it.]
That's why!! You wanted a drink right, friend?
no subject
[Raven still looks baffled, but he takes the smoothie nonetheless. He'd never say no to a free drink. ...Then he squints at it suspiciously, then over at the chalkboard.]

ALLEN
[if you want him to wear the lei, he's wearing the lei, dust
But apparently Tytree is still spitting out sand, doing that gross thing where he's trying to brush it off his tongue with his hand... alas poor tastebuds, he knew you well]
Ah... You were trying your best, huh....?
[ok.... then he can't be mad]
I think I'm doing ok...! Just - sandy!
no subject
There's a shop over there! I think they're selling some type of drink? But, I could get one for you! That should help with the taste, I hope.
[ with what money ]
SHUZO
Me? Nah, nothing fancy like that. I never had the chance to pick anything up and learn.
[does he look like a musician?! ohoho, what a compliment for a simple tytree.....
Still though, he's offering a grin.]
But I can help in a different way! I know I may not look it, but I can be surprisingly good at advertising, you know?
[well.
he's loud for sure.]
