Under the shade of an umbrella Janet and Jenna lay out on two towels. The disturbance caused Jenna to reach around and grope around for her blanket to cover herself. After a little searching all the managed to grab was the towel. Taking that and rolling over she managed to pull the covering out from underneath her. In the process however she displaced herself from the shade and unto the how sand around the umbrella. Taking a breath she managed to catch a might bit of sand and woke suddenly, sputtering and spitting trying to get the grit out of her mouth. Eyes adjusting to the bright sun she peered at the jungle on one side and then whipped around to see the ocean on the other. What exactly was going on wasn't nearly on her might just yet as she had to alert her sister. [color=plum]"Janet, Janet wake up we've been..."[/color] Shoving her sister to rouse her she stared at her twin baffled. Literally shaken from slumber Janet flailed slightly before giving in and opening her eyes. Nothing that she saw was familiar. Umbrella, sand, water, jungle, Jenna... Jenna? Looking up at the one that woke her she tried to understand what she was looking at. In the time that they had used the Red Coin it's effects on their mental state had slowly but steadily guided them toward chivalry. It complemented their vow of Charity but also had other more subtle effects. Like for instance their behavior and choice of wear. They would not tempt another by wearing revealing clothing among others. Even as normal girls they would dress proper, often opting to don dresses or at least a shirt and some form of pants for something more casual. However, here and now the twins found their bodies shockingly exposed for all the world to see. Armor replaced by jackets that would hardly serve as a covering and the clothing beneath having become nothing but a two piece set of bikini. Their near perfect forms ordinarily dressed for battle now dressed for fun in the sun.

They too were in swimsuits of varying degrees of appropriate. How did they get here? Why was everyone dressed for the beach? Where could they find some clothes? After being frozen for far too long the two approached the others. [color=khaki]"S-so uh... W-what's going on right now... exactly?"[/color] Painfully aware of how little she was wearing Janet was uncharacteristically nervous. Jenna seemed to be adjusting a little quicker but she still had her arms crossed as if it would hide anything. [hr] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/zDkJ0k8.png[/img][/center] Being a girl with Enhanced Sustenance had its perks. It meant that sleeping was an occasional thing. And for a Puchuu girl that meant more time to work and get the sweet rush of accomplishment. But even someone like Shannon needed some sleep every now and then. Having gone to sleep in the apartment she had been staying in since arriving in Penrose she was brought out of slumber when her Awareness kicked in. Something was wrong, well, off more like it. Sitting up and quickly taking in her surroundings she was very clearly on a beach that was not of earth. Additionally there were others there that she hadn't met, but were all wearing swimsuits. That was good as it probably meant that they weren't all there to fight. Spotting a sign she read it over and at least got some kind of direction. Sliding her legs under her Shannon got to get feet but stopped briefly. The feel of her clothes was odd and a quick once over she found that she was wearing a one piece swimsuit that you would expect from someone competing. Sitting by her feet was also a rather thin white shirt of some kind. Picking it up it was actually more like the top of a sailor's outfit. It wouldn't actually hide much when worn but for Shannon that didn't really matter. Draping the extra garment over her arm she joined the mishmash of girls that appeared to also be or had only just woken themselves. [center][hider=Ready to Race][img]https://i.imgur.com/Arnquj8.png[/img][/hider][/center] [color=tan]"Hey there. Did I win an all expenses paid vacation or something?"[/color] Attempting to shift failed pretty quickly. Attempting to reach her Paree didn't get anywhere either but that wasn't really an indication of anything, Puchuu were fickle like that. Looking off in the direction of the center island she considered a way to get to the island without getting wet. She could make a land bridge. Chain islands tended to be shallow and have sand bars in between. Or make a raft. She could actually kick a trees roots straight out of the ground without much effort. But greetings were in order. [color=tan]"I'm Shannon by the way. Pleasure to meet you."[/color] The girl offered a hand to anyone that would accept it.
