if nif can’t stay in the sun than she rather
paint it. nif gets out a large canvis and puts
on some relaxing and summer chill music.
she stays under a palm tree and takes her
soft as a feather brush and does sleek stokes.
nif paints the sun’s bright and beautiful rays.
she adds white as a shine. she draws the beach’s
delicate sand. she remembers to shade it in with
the ocean’s mysterious blue sky waves. in the distance
of the ocean she paints a beautiful bottle noes dolphin
jumping out of the water. she goes back to the shore
line adds some rocks and waves crashing over them.
she makes a seagull flying over the bay, looking for food
to steal. and maybe a little crab to capture the beach
feel. as she lets it dry she sets up a fan and grabs palm
leaves and makes the fan blow them at her. she waits
for it to dry as she starts to set up a limbo made out of
palm tree. she plays by herself for a while. after she fails
she builds a decent sized sand castle (still in the shade!)
she grabs some crabs in the shady area. she sees a few out
in the sun but she can’t risk her sun burnt. he gently places
them into the castle. when her painting is dry she adds a layer
so it looks shiny and finished. after that drys she heads to the beach
shack and buys a dragon fruit and passion fruit smoothie.
she heads home and goes to a painting gallery room. she hangs the
beautiful painting by the rest of them. she truly does love the sun.

The AC units hummed softly in the background, while the clear blue water lapped against the pool's edge. Artemis had heard of indoor pools before, but had never imagined they could be this luxurious. Her sunburn still ached dully, but with some effort she was able to ignore the pain. The pool was situated on the lower deck of the Kruise Ship, and was just about the only nice thing on that wretched boat. How they had managed to construct something of this standard, she had no idea, but was grateful for the gentle ripples of chlorinated water washing against her shoulder. Even if she wasn't able to enjoy the beach, at least she could find sanctuary here. Sure, the ladder's handles were somewhat rusty, and the pool floor a little dirty, but that was a small price to pay for serenity.

There were no other Kalons in the rectangular pool, as they were likely all on the beach, soaking in the suns ultra-violet rays. Turns out Artemis has forgotten to pack sunblock in her hastily packed suitcase, but had simply shrugged it off, as surely, it would not make a difference. It did. The sun's relentless heat had easily penetrated her short fur, leaving burns all over her skin. Not exactly the tan she was hoping for. But for now, it was all okay. This forgotten room served as her haven, her own personal beach, minus the sand, sun, and er, tourists. Artemis was not exactly fond of other Kalons, and preferred to swim alone.

Dipping into the clear blue water, she thought about her neighborhood pool at home. Oh, how she couldn't wait to arrive back there, and throw all her belongings along with herself back onto her bed! But for now, this would suffice. For now...

username; SilentMelody | kalon name; Yasmin | gender; tranfemale

Yasmin loves to bike, but she tends to burn easily and sweat profusely. Her back and shoulders got the worse of the burns, plus her face and armpits would get very moist. She was tired of having to apply aloe after every day and needing to take a shower after getting stinky. It gets especially hard since Yasmin lives close to the beach. She loves the sun and summer, but she just hates what it does to her.

Instead of biking outside, this summer she bought an exercise bike. It's kind of lame to have to stay inside, so she put it out on her backyard porch and pedals under the shade. That way Yasmin can still look at the beach from her house and pretend that she's riding on the sand. She usually does this early in the morning or towards the sunset, that way she ensures her safety away from the sun. Sometimes a few of her friends will visit her and cheer her on or do yoga beside the bike. Afterward, they all head inside to drink a peach or kiwi strawberry Snapple.

Everything is a lot better since Yasmin bought an exercise bike. Perhaps in fall, she'd be able to ride on the beach again.

Aloe, aloe, more aloe. Sully roamed freely through the shadowed deeper parts of the green overgrowth that covered the island, hunting for the plant that one of the workers had helpfully described to him. Of course, his sandy fur was already coated in a thick, slimy layer of the green stuff, making him appear almost like a monster that had raised up from the bottom of the sea to hunt all these stranded cruise passengers. But he knew it would wear off soon, and he would need more to soothe the burning red hidden under his fur, fried by the unrelenting sun.

How had he forgotten the cardinal rule of sunblock? Being a pale-colored kalon, he'd always gotten sunburnt easily and yet he never learned his lesson. Instead it was the green plant that saved him, soothing his screaming skin.

Of course, that ocean had been too tempting and he'd jumped into it without a second thought about the sun high above him. He was much too focused on the water so clear it looked like glass, the colorful fish darting around his paws, or the coral that looked like stuff he'd only seen in movies or aquariums behind thick walls. It was a once in a lifetime kinda chance, after all. And he still thought it had been worth it despite his body being sore with every slight movement.

"Aloe!" He practically screamed in delight as he spotted another plant hiding.

This was where he would spend the rest of his trip, it seemed. The indoors' air conditioning was much too cold on the burn, so instead he sat in the shade and nursed his wounds with plenty of what the doctor ordered - and water, of course.

Calvin huffed as a strange kalon ushered him into the shade. Couldn't they see he was working on his tan? He shook his tail and tried to stride back to the sun-kissed sand, but his path was blocked by the kalon. Guess he wasn't leaving anytime soon.
He decided to make himself busy. He pulled out his shell collection and decided to sort them. First by color. Then by shape. Then by size. Then alphabetically! He sorted and resorted his shells until he was thoroughly bored. The stranger had to let him leave now, right?
He got up and strode over to the kalon. "Can I please leave now, random stranger? Why are you blocking my path?"
"Can't you tell you're badly sunburned?"
"I am?" He checked his back. "I am. Well... Do you have anything else I can do then?"
"Hold on one second." the kalon said, then walked off. "AND DON'T RUN OFF!"

They eventually returned with a young, shy-looking kalon tagging behind.
"Perhaps you may want to share some seashells with this young lady...?"

Gender; Female
Prompt; 300/300 words

Kiona smiled internally as she watched Leah wade into the pool, wearing her rather fashionable hat and sunglasses. Thankfully, the other kalon hadn't put up much of a fight beyond a few feeble protests when Kiona had said (as gently as possible) that she was clearly a bit sunburnt and it would be good to get out of the sun. While Kiona hadn't been able to convince her to get inside, at least Leah had agreed to wear some protection.

Kiona's tail swished as she watched Leah grab a drink from a pool bar and a feeling of jealousy arose in her. Ugh, a drink sounded soo good. Maybe she'd grab a soda or some other cold drink later. Not too long after, Leah emerged from the pool, soaking wet, and gave herself a good shake. Kiona moved closer and sat down near Leah. "What's that?" she asked, pointing to the glass that the other held in her right hand.

"Just a lemonade!" said Leah cheerily. "I wanted something simple and..."

"You can't get much simpler than that."

"Mhmm."

"Any drinks in particular that you like?" asked Kiona awkwardly. Small talk wasn't her favorite past-time, but she had promised Brandy and she kept her promises...

"Yeah!" exclaimed Leah. "I love lemonade, piña coladas, pretty much any soda and... Uhh..." She shrugged. "That's it, I guess?"

"That's a lot," said Kiona mildly. "Me, I'm just fond of fruit drinks. Pineapple, strawberry, watermelon... It's healthy and tasty."

"Would lemonade count as a fruit drink?" asked Leah with a sly smile.

Kiona made a show of thinking about it. "Lemons are considered fruits, right?" she asked. "So yes, I suppose."

Leah stood up and dragged Kiona to her feet. "Well, time for you to try one of these lemonades because they're just heavenly."
