Humans. Drawn always by the beach. All too human.
Dazzling summer sun, and blue skies... the beach is absolutely the best place to spend a summer vacation.
You might not be able to go to the beach for a vacation for various reasons, and can't meet your friends from other places, so for those of you with these problems, we have the best holiday plan for you!
An immersive summer beach story! Spend an unforgettable vacation with your closest!
Overly upbeat music plays in the background. Lee firmly turns down the volume of the game.
The first thing that appears is a page full of various clothing.
[Select the clothing you want to play in]
...What's this?
It's the usual avatar-making stuff before entering a game! We have our appearance data already, so we just have to choose our clothes.
They're all... swimsuits.
I'm starting to regret being a part of this.
But why? We Constructs don't normally get to wear clothes like these.
Liv looks a little ill at ease when she sees the rows and rows of various swimsuits.
I haven't ever picked outfits other than combat coating... Do you have any recommendations, Commandant?
Huh...? Eh? Y-you want me to wear this...?
Lee looks over with a gaze that must have burnt through your VR goggles.
Commandant, I never knew you had such... tendencies. I've learned something new about you.
Ah... Then I'll pick this one.
After thinking it over, Liv chooses a black and white swimsuit. Her avatar changes into a swimsuit-wearing one, with a black and white fishtail unfolding behind her.
...
I-Is that so...?
Lee, in contrast, quickly skims through the selection and confirms immediately after selecting a swimsuit.
Hey! You made your choice so quickly! I didn't even get to see the other clothes!
There's no need to consider water pressure and resistance when it's all virtual, so the swimwear doesn't matter. Also, didn't you play this before? You should've seen all the clothes already.
I only played a little bit of it. And character creation is part of the fun too!
I don't get it at all.
So what should I pick? Commandant, help me!
...You think this suits me, Commandant? Well, I guess it's easier to move around with less fabric...
Uh... This is a little... Kamui, you might want to try another one...
Oh yeah! This is nice! Feels just like a vacation!
If you wear that in the game, I'm leaving right now.
This feels kinda weird... Is this duck bill even detachable?
...Stop messing with him, Commandant. He'll take it seriously.
Hmm... They all look so fun to wear, though. Which should I choose?
I recommend none of them.
It looks like... The swimsuit Lee chose earlier is one of the more normal-looking ones...
Kamui frowns and scrolls through the selection list, then suddenly slaps his thigh.
Forget it! Clothes don't matter! We don't always get to play together, so let's not waste precious time!
With that, Kamui exits the clothing catalog and enters the game with his default avatar.
Well, I've tried all of 'em on when I was playing by myself anyway.
Oh! Let's see... We can play beach volleyball and have matches! Teams of two!
To make it fair, let's play rock-paper-scissors! Winners one team, losers the other.
I know you guys will all want to be on Commandant's team if I let you choose.
...
Don't assume that everyone's like you.
Commandant, let's go first. Rock, paper, scissors—
Haiya!
Kamui plays rock!
Kamui plays scissors!
Kamui plays paper!
Huh? A tie? No way! Again! Rock, paper, scissors—
Haiya!
Kamui plays rock!
Kamui plays scissors!
Kamui plays paper!
A tie again! Commandant, we are so in sync! Let's just be on the same team!
Should have just done this from the beginning...
Then Lee will be teaming up with me.
Since we've decided on our teams, let's get started!
