Ezra had put out the call for the challenge, not quite understanding the exact nature of this game but Nyx recommended that they start participating since they had joined so late. Leaving a note on a bulletin board in town square, they waited calmly on the shore for someone to show up. Nyx, in a simple white sundress, appeared to be standing alone on the sand. In her arms was a black and white cat plushy, complete with fake sunglasses and a pair of dark blue swimming trunks. Ezra would obviously never let the plush cat going into the water, but felt that dressing the part of a beachgoer was appropriate.

Walking down to the beach in cut off jean shorts, a black bikini top, sunglasses, and a white wide floppy wide-brimmed hat, Zora had a large cloth beach bag with a blanket, a towel and some sunscreen in it.

Zora loved the beach, ocean, anything water related actually. It was her element - she was a water witch and felt such an affinity to it that she could never live very far from the beach, a lake, river or some other huge body of water.

As she neared the water's edge, she spotted who she assumed was a regalia. She had three of her own, and two others that she had passed on to her boyfriend, she was quite familiar with their presence by now.

"You are the ones looking for a challenge, yes?" she asked taking off her sunglasses to get a better look at the two in front of her, raising an eyebrow when she saw the puppet, Zora glanced up at the regalia questioningly.

As a woman's voice rang out inquiring about the challenge, Nyx shifted her body to fully face Zora with opalescent eyes sparkling with curiosity and a little bit of... malice? The plush cat in her arms, meanwhile, seemed to perk up at realizing who approached and gave a wave of the paw. "Miss Zoraida, hello. I am glad the first challenge I am participating in is with someone I already know." The cat patted the Regalia's arm, trying to get down to approach the woman. Nyx appeared hesitant, but eventually acquiesced and let the toy down.

"I would prefer to play a simple game for the contest, if that is alright with you. My body is not fit for a physical challenge and Nyx would prefer I did not do anything strenuous." At the mention of her name, the Regalia opened her arms and the plush was pulled away from Zora and back into her arms. "Is there a challenge you would prefer to do that could fit those requirements?" The spirit asked from their hug-based prison.

"Hey..." Zora said when Nyx picked Salem up, acting like Zora might have the intention of hurting him. "Salem, Ezra, is my friend, let him down if he wants."

"In fact, let's sit over here," she suggested, pointing to a secluded area near the water where they could sit comfortably, safe from the wind.

"I brought a beach blanket we can sit on ... together," she said evenly while looking at Nyx fixedly.

"I was thinking that maybe we could do a game of some sort, maybe questions, riddles, truth or dare. Something like that," Zora said as she took the blanket out of her beach bag and spread it out on the sand for them to sit down on.

"It is alright, Miss Zora," Ezra said from their captive spot, "Nyx is very attached to myself and Salem especially. She is not being so much aggressive as she is protective. Nyx, we should sit with Miss Zora. She is a very nice woman and we are in no danger. You do not need to be afraid." The Regalia, without breaking eye contact with Zora, took a seat down on the freshly spread blanket and proceeded to sit.

"As for the game, I would be very interested in a game like twenty questions. Although I would politely ask that we do not include celebrities or people as one party might not be aware of their existence. Would that be a fair game for us to play?" Ezra asked, shifting a little as Nyx continued to snuggle the plush cat toy.

Zora just nodded and then glanced with some uncertainty at Nyx. If Ezra said he was okay with the behaviour she wouldn't interfere. Although, that still didn't mean Zora had to be comfortable with the way he treated Salem.

"I am more than fine with that," Zora agreed, thinking there were too many wannabes too and social media figures and they'd just add to the confusion if they included celebrities and famous people.

"We can just stick to historical figures if you prefer, or we can decide not to use people at all and just stick to places, animals and objects_" Zora suggested as she removed her hat for a bit shaking free her hair which had been tucked under her hat.

"Places, animals, and objects would be ideal, Miss Zora. I am not a very competitive individual, nor is Nyx, but I would like to at least say I made an attempt for whatever this contest is meant to end on." Ezra stated, while Nyx continued to look on. She slowly let her grasp loose and the cat plush wiggled its way to freedom. The Regalia stared for a long moment, then slowly reached out her hand to pet the cat toy as they looked to Zora.

"Miss Zora, would you like to start guessing first? Or would you like to think of something and I can guess first. Either way is alright by me."

"You can think of something first, Ezra, and I'll ask you some questions?" Zora suggested as she looked at the puppet sitting besides her, and just smiled at how "Day at the beach" he looked in his swim trunks and sunglasses.

Starting her questions, when Erza/Salem finally chose something, Zora started with the typical "Is it alive?" and found out that it, indeed, was. Immediately after this, she asked if it was an animal - which it was - and ended up asking everything from what it ate to whether it lived in a forest. Finally, after asking if it was bigger than a suitcase, Zora finally took a guess.

"Is it a squirrel?"

"You are correct. It is a squirrel. Excellent guess, Miss Zora."

The cat plush gently pat Nyx's hand, to which the Regalia gave them another pat on the head as she continued to watch the game go between Ezra and Zora. After asking everything from whether it occurred in nature (it didn't) to it being safe for children (it wasn't), the spirit was beginning to flounder. Glancing down at the woman's hand, they noticed a simple silver band with a small red gemstone embedded within. The spirit remained quiet before looking up and simply asking,

"Is it a ring?"

Seeing Ezra glance down at her hand, Zora smiled then, knowing he had guessed it, "Yes, it is a ring."

"Okay, my turn," Zora mused happily as she looked around the beach, glancing at Nyx for a second before asking Salem a series of ten questions going from is it found in a house, can you find it on the floor to finally, was it a tool?

Thinking hard about everything, still a bit perplexed, she unexpectedly spotted a black pen sticking part way out of her handbag, and had a kind of realization. Glancing then at Ezra, Zora decided to make a guess. "Is it a pen?"
