Beach-a-Palooza, an annual celebration hosted by the denizens of Beach City that carried on from sunset, all the way to sun-up. Originally, the 'holiday' was exclusively a human event, but in the recent years, due to the influx of gems in Beach City, some gems also celebrated Beach-a-Palooza amongst themselves. Of course the gems weren't entirely welcome in the city, and so gems often set up small booths just outside of the city, content to celebrate with one another. The sun was just finishing its arc in the sky, and the festivities were just about to kick off.
Indicolite was making his way out of Beach City, making his way to the gems' area. Even before gems partook in the celebration, Indy had his own small business he managed during the holiday. Throughout the year, the blue gem forges all sorts of metal weapons, containers, trinkets, and the like, then when it's time for Beach-a-Palooza, he sells them off for human currency. Indicolite didn't actually sell them himself, of course. Instead, he dumped the responsibility on some human, telling him that he could keep 50% of the profits. The human readily agreed, and now the human and Indy retain the yearly routine to this day.
The blue gem smiled wryly as he realized that the human probably kept more than 50% of the money, but he shrugged away the thought, quite indifferent to whether or not he was being cheated. There were more pressing matters at hand, and brought his attention back to making his way to the gems' celebration. He smiled again, legitimately this time, as he admired the decorations that led the way to the booths. Instead of simple lights, cords were adorned with multicolored lanterns, and the vibrant colors filled Indy's eyes. The ground was already painted with the serene lights, and the effect would only become better as the sun sank below the horizon. With a deep breathe, Indicolite took his final steps out of the city, and prepared to enjoy the festivities.
((Just wanna establish a few things here. First off, I really wanted to make a thread that could develop gem relationships/interactions, and I also kinda want this to be a peaceful event-thing. So I ask that ya'll keep any violence to a minimum, even though I have no real power over that. Second, because this is a sort of casual thread, I don't believe a posting order will be necessary, go willy nilly, just like.. don't post twice in a row? Do I even have to say that? Finally, I would also like it if no corrupted gems showed up because.. reasons already stated, but again, I have no real power over that. Thanks, and have fun!))
