I'm sure we can walk back there within 20 minutes, so nevermind :V

>"Ah, I see."
>The trip back is a little hurried, but you make it to find a black cab waiting for you at the Fairfield parking lot. The driver, a thoroughly unimpressive older man by the name of Dennis, asks for your drop off point, then launches into a rambling diatribe about the various beach parties he's totally been to. Given the fact most of the tourists seem to be older people and their children, you're pretty sure he's either omitting some details, or lying outright. Thankfully, this doesn't last terribly long as as he more or less follows the same route you used to get to your campsite to start with, and in fact dumps you off about about three blocks from where you initially parked, near the beach. The whole trip costs 29 dollars.

>"Geez, thanks a million, kid!" Dennis says as you tip him generously and depart.
>"You must've really liked his probably fake stories," Archer says, as she looks around.
>Heading toward the beach, it is empty. This isn't surprising, there's only a small neighborhood around it, this is hardly a tourist or party area. The sky is dark, but there's a surprising amount of visibility from the reflection of city light in the distance. The ocean seems pretty calm, you aren't really familiar with it but the waves don't seem that high or nasty. The beach is kind of nasty, though. There's a fair amount of trash that has probably been washing in for heaven knows how long. Looking around, you think you can see someone some distance down the beach, to the northwest.

>You...think he is. It would help if you could see his face, or something that you could attach to him. Caster definitely feels correct, though.

The beach is the shore. If you're going inland, you need to specify that.

> @Archer: "I think I know who it is! Let me know if he has puffy hair and a mustache!"
> Looks like we'll have to build a sandcastle! Pick a spot to throw down our Wall and take cover.
> If we decided we wanted to turtle, would using Forbidden Zone be appropriate for building solid fortifications, or should we try to sustain a few Walls simultaneously?

>"Got it!" Archer sends.
>You cast a wall spell and hide behind it. It would be much better to use the latter technique, Forbidden Zone doesn't like to be shaped like that.
