SHUSH LEVI I AM THE BEST LEADER.

[bufudine]

Who: Serph, Cielo and YOU!
Location: Starting in the plaza! Anywhere else is fine, too.
Time: During the daaaaaay
Style: ANYTHING GOES.
Status: OPEN

[ Hello dear Vatheon, how are you? Good? Good, because you've got two rather oddly dressed guys in your plaza. They don't seem to be bothered at all by the fact they're dripping wet, though the one with the dreadlocks is carrying a submachine gun. Every now and again, they converse with each other, but they don't seem aggressive.

Approach? ... Well, even if you don't, they will be approaching you. ]

[She hates to say she told you so, Cielo...

Except not really. There's something satisfying about being right, after all. And even though she's been working on being a little less self-absorbed, there isn't a lot that can change that.]

So much for that.

[Pfffft. She is eying him to make sure he's okay, hardly even noticing Serph's lineface. But yeah, she can imagine he's dealt with worse.

...he'll live.]

[rainbowarch]

[You are both laughing on the inside he can tell. And Cielo is fine with that. Like they thought, a little crab pinch isn't much more than a small sharp pain that quickly goes away. And if it brings some joy to his friends, well, Cielo would happily let all the crabs in Vatheon pinch his fingers.]

I deserved that, ja?

[Okay, okay, he'll try not to bother the wildlife too much anymore.]

[bufudine]

[Serph doesn't say anything, but he does feel a sense of warm contentment. While his other comrades aren't here, it feels... nice, to be able to not worry about things. To simply enjoy the company of the people he's with.

But the sun is sinking into the horizon, painting the sky brilliant hues of pink and orange. Serph turns his head to look out at the ocean, reflecting the sky. The sight of it... it's a good reminder of what they had been fighting for. But night will be upon them soon enough.

Serph's voice is quiet.]

We should head back.

[Perhaps when they're more familiar with this new world, they can spend the night up here on the beach.]

[tsundyne]

[WELL, she wasn't gonna say anything, but y'know, she did try to warn you, Cielo. She shrugs though, and then turns to Serph when he speaks; because something about his voice is pretty demanding. He doesn't speak often, he's noticed, but when he does...

He has quite the presence.]

Right. [She's as taken in by the sunset as Serph seems to be...but suddenly glances towards the elevator, nodding her head in its direction.] It's the same way back down, so...

[...

Well, ladies first, she supposes. She'll lead the way.]

[rainbowarch]

[Cielo's a little disappointed to leave the beach, but he understands that they can't stay there forever. So he wades out of the water and follows Yukari to the elevator. He's dripping wet with water again, but just like when he first arrived, he hardly notices.]

That was a lot of fun.

[Crabs can't get him down.]

[bufudine]

[Good to know you didn't get crabs, Cielo.

Serph is the last one to enter the elevator, casting a lingering glance at the beach, the ocean, the sky. This is a glimpse of the future...

Once he's inside the elevator, doors shutting so it can bring them back down into the underwater city, Serph gives his two companions a nod.]

Let's go to the beach again.

[tsundyne]

[Yukari will nod, as the elevator starts to make its descent; both to agree that it was fun--confusion regarding their Atmas aside--and that they would definitely do it again sometime, after the two are a little more settled.]

...We will.

[And that's a promise.]
