tab While it was always hot in Summer’s Touch, there was a sudden and sweltering feeling in the air. Heat unlike anything the ponies of the land the world had ever known. Even those ponies under summer’s influence feel it, unable to explain why it suddenly hits them so hard. Sweat dripping down their brow, bodies tired and worn. One day it’s normal, and then it isn’t- oppressive and exhausting from seeming nowhere. In a desperate attempt to combat the heat, the ponies of Seaside Breeze have a plan.
Known for its beachfront locale, Seaside Breeze brings a number of tourists to Summer's Touch when the weather gets too cold elsewhere. Not too hot, the air is cooled by the breeze off the ocean. The town operates a thriving boardwalk, with restaurants famous for their seafood and spicy fare. Visitors are welcome to tour the avenues, with fantastic spots for shopping the latest in fashion trends. Many a famous celebrity have been spotted in this oceanside resort, making a getaway to the luxurious hotels and black-sand beaches. It's said that the ash from nearby volcanoes has given the sand its obsidian color, but the ponies of Seaside Breeze claim it's just the town's own kind of magic. Vendors hawk bottles of the stuff on the corner with their carts, and you can always get a snow cone any day of the year here. So when it gets too hot, what do these ponies do?
tab A beach party! Obviously! What better way is there to beat the heat and enjoy the summer? The circumstances might not be ideal, but they can make the best of it. What else is there to do, anyway? Mope about it? No way! That’s not what Summer ponies do!
tab The shore has been outfitted with umbrellas, drinks, everything imaginable for a beach party. Ponies of every sort are laid out on towels, making cocktails (but not for the foals!!!), playing volleyball. Foals dart around the beach, kicking sand up and laughing. Their parents keep a watchful eye and chase along the waves, helping them find sand dollars and shells. All sorts of ponies have come out in droves, seemingly brought out to enjoy the day despite the heat wave. This is peak tourism season, with many foals out of school for a break, and Seaside Breeze welcomes them all with open hooves. There's no reason to let something like the sun get them down!
tab It’s a beautiful day, even if it’s hot.
You can only bring one pony to this RP event. For the sake of our RP staff (aka Moonstone's) sanity, one pony per player will be allowed- so if you want to bring a foal, you will not be able to bring their parents! Your pony MUST be certed to participate. There won't be premade ponies going out for you to RP this time- bring your own ponies for casual, nice fun in the sun! Get to know each other, make some plots! Be a good sport! RP works the best when we all play nice and work together. This is a fun event! If you have concerns, please take them up with staff! No whining or bullying allowed! This takes place in Seaside Breeze. Please ensure your pony is RPing where everyone else is; Seaside Breeze is a newly named city in Summer's domain, bustling with life. Typically it's of a lower temperature, making it more accessible for non-summer ponies. However, right now... it's just hot hot hot! If you have any questions, ask Moonstone Dazzle (So Long Gay Bowser) first. They're the creator of this META and the Head RP Manager! Please approach them first for questions, as they know more than Nym does about this META!

Babbling Brook was so excited to be back in her seasonal home. She'd spent a good amount of time traveling, but when she heard rumor of a new tourist town opening in her Summer paradise, she knew it was time to circle back and size everything up.
Accompanying her was her serpentine pet, Ripple. The Serapent looked so similar to Babble that she often said they were made to belong to one another. Her pet was currently wrapped loosely around Babble's neck, looking more like a necklace than Babble's actual accessories.
With dancing eyes and high spirits, Babble looked around with a giddy, foal-like excitement. "Should we go in the water? Or should we talk to somepony? Oooh, look, Ripple! Popcorn!" Her mind made up, she approached the stall and the unicorn that was running it! "Hey there!" She greeted the other. "How much for some popcorn and soda pop? Golly gee, you've got popsicles too? Everything about your stall pops, don't it?" She joked with a smile.

Marmalade hummed to himself as he began setting up his stall. The summer heat was unpleasant to the autumn-loving pony, but not all unwelcome. The warmth from the sun brought ponies from all around to this location, and it was perfect for handing out samples for his new jams.
"There we go," Marmalade said to himself, proudly looking over his finished handiwork. Homemade jams and jellies filled the small stall shelves, an array of flavors and colors. In the center of the stall sat some small paper cups, each with a spoon and a bit of jelly inside.
"Free samples!" He called, hoping to attract attention. Typically, he knew jam wasn't exactly a summer-type food, but perhaps with all the ice cream shop lines so long, ponies seeking cool food of any sort would linger over.

For whatever reason there was for the weather to be so terribly hot was beyond Mewori, but it didn't stop her from going down to Seaside Breeze. The hot sand on her paws was surprising when she stepped out onto it while looking out over the water. "Hot!" Mewori exclaimed, jumping off of the sands and checking her paw paw pads to make sure they were okay. It was quite the shock! She spied a nice little spot not too far from the water with a table next to a lounge chair and umbrella that seemed to just be calling out to her. Making sure that her duffle bag wouldn't fall during the run, she then made a mad dash to the spot, a chorus of "ouch" and "hot" falling from her lips every quickstep of the way.
Once she was close enough, the car jumped off of the burning sands and barreled into the chair. "Oh thank goodness!" she sighed out in relief as she curled herself up and off the hot hot ground for the moment. With a great deal of cation, Mewori reached her back foot down over the edge of the chair, lightly patting the sand hidden from the sun's brutal rays by the cover of the umbrella. She sighed in relief as the coolness from the shady sand soothed the bottom of her paws. The cat dangled her feet off the edge and wriggled her toes beneath the grains of sand. "This is sooooo much better," she said to herself.
After having taken a few minutes to soothe her toes in the cold sand beneath the shade, she refocused her attentions to the happenings of the beach. It was bustling and it was something else. She didn't really come to socialize, but just to relax. Maybe even have a drink or three as she read the new trashy romance novel she picked up a few days back. With her book, bottle of water, and an adjusting of her sarong, Mewori happily settled back into the chair. With her feet kicked up and her book in hand, she got to reading and drinking some water... for now.
