Prompt four: What do they uncover?

Digging through the sand, sweeping the beach with her gaze, and wandering back and forth, Allison couldn't find a whole lot of stuff still usable. Loads of tiny metals bits, sure. She could also pick those up to make sure no critter or beach dweller stepped on them, which was good. Same thing for glass, and some pieces of wood. But... nothing usable.

Sighing a sigh of defeat, she turned around to go back along the beach, again, looking for ANYTHING that could be of use, when her foot snagged on something. Down she went, face first, into the sand. It took a minute for her to muster the mental energy to even get up and get her face out of the sand again, such was her resignation to her cursed luck. Getting up and turning around, she was dead set on chewing out whatever inanimate object had tripped her up. What her eyes actually told her was in the sand made her stop, however.

A tiny statue. She had tripped in the head of a tiny statue, buried in the sand. It didn't look like any of the typically gaudy statues on the cruise either, or a souvenir. Curious, she picked it up and looked at it. It looked like... a monkey perhaps? It had tiny horns and sharp teeth, with some wicked claws too... oh dear. She best leave something alone, to be honest, but... perhaps some of the island natives could shed some light on this weirdo. Allison pocketed the strange statue, and kept sweeping the beach.

Your kalon goes beachcombing for spare parts, but they find something else in their search.
What do they uncover?

Pip brushed his bangs from his eyes and briefly scanned the beach before proceeding. You'd think it would be simple enough to find spare parts on a beach. The sand was such a bright yellow that anything out of the ordinary should stand out. Unfortunately, it seemed Pip wasn't the best at beachcombing. He'd never done it before and his lack of experience was clearly shown in his technique. He absentmindedly kicked sand around whilst leveling his vision with the horizon. It seemed all there was in this area was sand, sand and... oh? More sand! At this point, he was a little frustrated and ended up picking up a jog. Maybe if he got out of this little zone of bad luck then things would go more smoothly. Pip ran along to a new area and finally ended up digging his paws in the right spot. He felt something! Ears perking up, he dug faster and with more energy than when he was searching before. Finally, Pip uncovered the item from the sand. It wasn't what he had expected at all. Strangely enough, it appeared to be a rusted, old locket. He popped it open and saw a picture of a small kalon kit. Puzzled, he decided he'd have to look for its owner after finishing the job at hand. He continued on, looking for anything else of interest.

What did he discover?

Sal was happy to do as his captain asked, and immediately bounded down to the beach with a smile on his face. He’d already changed into swim trunks, so he wasn’t afraid to get in the water a little bit as he searched. Seeing as it was for the boat, he tried specifically looking for things that seemed artificial. Of course, he stopped to admire pretty shells and little creatures along the way, but for the most part he was looking for plastics (yuck) or metal. For the longest part, he couldn’t really find anything that seemed to be from the ship... then he saw it. Just a little offshore, as the waves went back, a shiny piece of metal sticking barely above the water. He whooped in excitement and immediately jumped into the ocean to try to grab it, grunting as he lugged the metal piece back onto the dryer sand. Once he had it safely to shore, he finally stopped to observe it, and couldn’t help his face from twisting in confusion.
“What the heck?” He said as he looked at the giant metal K in front of him, not connecting that it was the K from the name of the ship.
“What does potassium have to do with anything?”
With a shrug, he simply went back to his goofy grin and brought the piece with him, determined to return it even if it wasn’t needed- they said to bring back anything, right?

Prompt Four :: What have they uncovered?

Thia dug around in the sand, really hoping she would find something. Seemingly not finding anything at all first. It was very difficult to find anything since the beach was so filled with shiny things. She was definitely more focused on the shiny things, wanting to bring them back, however, she looked for stuff for Shark. Pulling out everything she found, mostly a lot of trash, which was okay, since she was going to get rid of it, but nothing of importance just yet.
That's when the sun started to set she was digging and found a strange thing sticking in the sand. She pulled on it, trying to get it up when she found it. A giant piece of. . . driftwood. She sighed and just sat down, the only good thing she found today really. A giant stick that was stuck in the ground. She just huffed and walked back to Shark, saying she hadn't really found anything to help really.

eden's giving shark a weird look as the latter runs down the events of the past couple of days, needling it down to something like, i need another favor from you kruisers, please and thanks. eden chuckles low and brushes his bang out of his eye; it had been bugging him for minutes now, but this was the perfect time to unveil his left eye.
eden sighs, continuing his dramatic facade. "honestly? i'm kinda sus about you, sharkie. can't you do these things yourself?"
shark doesn't wince at eden's usage of the cute nickname, but he can tell well enough it rubs him the wrong way even if he's used to this behavior from eden. eden almost (almost) makes another joke at shark's expense, the name of the professor on his tongue, but decides against it. where would shark be if eden didn't do the heavy lifting around here? yeah, he loves the island (he, in fact, just confessed to it with carter earlier today) but running away from shark or doing errands for the other locals doesn't give him the same kind of wind-in-his-face as looking over his balcony on the ship.
he also misses brandon? brandi- brandy. eden can't even remember the name of the bartender nowadays (it's because of his one brain cell. not the short-term memory he's been gifted since young). he doesn't even have an veritable excuse to oh, he doesn't know, get lost in the cruise ship that's been broken down and mostly inhabitable since, joke around with brandy and listen to his story-weaving, but be on the edge of begging for a decent drink, yes still.
"anyways, i can do it, of course. i'll see you later, then," eden says after exploring his reverie for a minute, to which shark had been eyeing him suspiciously. eden is already turning away from him, walking towards captain and her friend whose name rang stranger than hers, when he hears the gruff "thanks and good luck."
well. that's gonna put a smile on his smug face all day.
─
he had spoken to captain before, at that spontaneous volleyball match, but had only gotten the chance to witness parts of her. she hates sand, that's the first thing. but underneath that, she's kind and polite, willing to go the distance to help a stranger out. they make casual conversation as they sift around in the sand, and eden tries to subtly edge some of the beach-related burden off of her. he thinks she's noticed by now, but it's fine, they're almost done anyways. they have a few mechanical parts in a pile to egg's right.
eden's asking captain about her favorite way to consume crab, when he feels something knit through the sand and his mellowness settles out like the waves at that. "how do you feel about coquina clams? do you like them in broth?"
captain shrugs, "i don't like to play in the sand for the fun of it, remember?"
"okay, fair. i was just asking, 'cause i used to chase after these things a lot," he explains, digging his feet deeper in the sand so he's got a foothold. "i used to keep them until they grew up and mysteriously left the house. i think i'll do it again, actually."
when he gets back to shark, eden's dragging the parts he's dug up with captain and her friend in one hand and cradling a seawater-filled water bottle in the other. shark looks at it questioningly and eden answers, "just a childhood whim, sharkie."
maybe i'll write a short one this time! me, later: 700 words - "stupid title"

what do they uncover?
venita - searching | rudy - 'searching' | 403 words

"for the love of god, rudy, will you stop it with the sandcastle?"
rudy glanced up at venita. covered in sweat, with a nasty glare in her eyes, she was clearly not having a good time. the two had been searching for parts for hours, but they hadn't found anything of importance quite yet. rudy laid it out for her when they started: he'd probably lose focus quick. and yet, here she was, still getting mad at him.
he blew a raspberry at her. "i'm just as productive as you are, ven. i'm working on a creation. on my art."
"then at least give me the shovel so i don't have to dig with my hands."
he obliged, letting her take it, and continued to add water to the sides of his small tower of sand. venita huffed, and after making her way to a chunk of beach she hadn't touched, began to dig once more. the sun was pounding on the girl. what a relaxing vacation.
at least rudy was having fun. she was glad he was. but if she was the one goofing off, his reaction would probably be worse than hers. what a hypocrite. when he did attempt to dig around, he'd collected a bunch of shells, and was now sticking them into the mounds of sand he was slaving over.
ven smiled and shook her head as he called out, "look at my sick pattern!", before giving her the 'ok hand'. he was an insufferable dork. turning back to the task at hand, she started to dig at the sand once more.
as she absentmindedly tore at the beach, she almost didn't notice the bounce back from her shovel. a hit. "rudy," she waved him over, "we've got something!"
he pulled himself up, the back of his legs coated in hand. "oh, hell yeah. what is it?"
"let's see..." she brushed the sand away,reaching her hand for the neon pink object that was revealing itself. when she held it up, she frowned. rudy grinned.
"a single croc." she sighed. "it's a single, pink croc." ven took a good look at the shoe. "you know what? i give up. let's head back to the room. i need a shower."
and with their discovery made, they decided to end their quest for parts. but not before venita hurled their prize into the ocean, to be found by another unlucky hunter.
