Just your average beach. Sand, water, and ice cream! And a very creepy light house...

Her black hair glistened in the sun as she walked, kicking up sand as she went. Oh how she wished she could swim . . She sighed, "Oh well . . whoa!" Her eyes moved up to the huge lighthouse, sitting on top on a small hill. She started running towards it, staring at it with huge, curious eyes. She reached he door and peered in the small window. There were boxes and an old staircase, leading to the top. She jumped when a rat scurried across the floor. She turned away, disgusted, and started back on her way to the sand. ███████████████████████████████████████████ █████████

╚═══════════════════════════╝ "... The creative urge within us is the demon..." "... That will not accept anything second rate..."   Raniero came out onto the beach, wearing a plain white tee, and a pair of surf shorts. He was carrying a white surfboard with black tribal markings, something he'd bought with the extra money he had (from working at some diner) a few days ago. His left arm; the demon arm, was extra-tightly bandaged today so the gauze wouldn't easily slip off.
Smiling, he said, "Ah, it feels so nice with the sun's warmth mixed with the gentle breeze coming from the ocean... But it is still sweltering... Gotta get used to this." Sighing, he stuck the surfboard down into the sand and took off his shirt, placing it on a prominent-looking rock nearby. Picking up his board again, he began to wade out into the waters.

She tilted her head to the side curiously, then proceeding to sit down in the sand. Her eyes never left the boy, intrigued by whatever he was doing. She had never seen anyone do anything like that - it looks dangerous!

╚═══════════════════════════╝ "... The creative urge within us is the demon..." "... That will not accept anything second rate..." Raniero gave a smirk on his face as he said, "The waves look strong today. Alright... Here we go!" He waded out as far as he could, and then jumped onto his board. Easily creating powerful strokes, he managed to swim through and under four waves. His eyes keenly examined the heights, but hadn't found one that was big enough yet; and many of them were just rolling, lazy waves that only held potential. After a few more, he found one especially big that was just created and, whooping, began to swim away...
Barely a few seconds later, he felt his shape get picked up by the wave and, grinning, he stood up, keeping his balance in check, and began surfing along it, making sure that he stayed away from any parts that came crashing down. It took the wave a good few minutes before it was close enough to the shore to begin falling apart and, taking the hint, he kicked at the water, adding some speed, and barely made it through as the whole waved crashed and fell apart behind him. He kept going until the board slid against the sand of the beach, quickly stopping it from going any farther in motion.

Her cheeks flushed pink, but was unnoticeable in the orange sunlight of the sunset. ███████████████████████████████████████████ █████████

Raniero looked down at the at the girl and, smiling, said, "You're that new girl at the circus... Lucy, right? Nice to meet you... Name's Raniero, but you can just call me Nero." He sounded pleasant and charming, and his grin was only tarnished a little by the small fangs he had. "So you watched all that? Oh, that was just simple surfing... Well, I can't say it's simple... It took me quite a number of years to learn the craft. You see, it all starts with one having to be able to, I dunno... Feel how the waves go by and how it reacts to your body, and then how you can make it so that it can let you ride the wave."

╚═══════════════════════════╝ "... The creative urge within us is the demon..." "... That will not accept anything second rate..." "It's not hard. It just depends on the individual person's natural abilities." He put down his board on the beach nearby with a soft thunk into the sand, and then fetched back his shirt. After putting it on, he said, "That's a shame. Skateboarding and surfing aren't so different; one's just on land, and the other's on water." Picking up the craft again, he smiled, "Well, I'm heading back to the circus. I wanna do a little rehearsing with the animals before dinner..." He started walking away, checking to see if his bandage got any damage, which it didn't.

╚═══════════════════════════╝ "... The creative urge within us is the demon..." "... That will not accept anything second rate..." Raniero raised a curious eyebrow, "You really think that? Well, let's see then." He stopped in his tracks and turned to face the girl, looking up and down at her figure. He actually had a knack for noticing patterns, as it was his general pastime in the carnival, and was known as a sort of makeshift psychologist. After a minute or two, he remarked, furrowing his brows, "Well, you spent a majority of your life without guidance; mostly either on the streets or in an orphanage and... You weren't liked by many people." When he couldn't find anything more, he looked back up at her and asked, "So, how'd I do?"

No, actually, I haven't heard yet. I've been wandering around town all day; I work at a local diner for extra money to spend on some luxuries around here. Like this beach," he winked, giving his toothy grin once more. He straightened up and said, "Have you ever tried swimming? You could always just wear a life vest; they're made of a material that can be made flame-proof and makes any thing that's worn by it floatable above water."
