[darkasnight]

Who: Night & Villa people (and anyone who wants to crash)
Where: The beach on the island.
When: Backdated to Friday (8-16)
Style: Action/Prose
Status: Open

[One of Night's favorite past times was going up to the island to do a number of things: hunt small wildlife, toss around in flowers, and sunbathe. The normal life of a cat, really.

But after a few recent events he feels like maybe coming up to the beach, not just by himself, but with everyone else, could be a good thing. Who didn't love being out in the sun all day?

Which is just what he does, leaving most everyone in the Villa a message asking them to join him at the beach Friday morning. It isn't a party only because he has no idea what to do or bring for a party, but the intent was to have fun and relax.]

Anya.

[She settles herself down, sipping her drink. So far she doesn't have any plans to go in the water herself, although she has no problems with slimy.]

Are you part of this crowd or are you crashing, too?

[proudsister]

Part of the crowd, actually. I live in the same place as all of these guys.

[ Liz sort of waves her hand in the direction of where everyone else is at, most of them seeming to be splashing around in the water. ]

From the same world as... well, just one of them, actually. The cute girl with the pigtails.

[dontyoujustwish]

[Anya looks over in that direction to watch them for a bit.]

I haven't figured out if it's more common to have someone else from your world or not. Some people seem to have quite a few acquaintances along.

[proudsister]

I have a few. A handful, really. I think the Villa is an exception; just about everyone living there is only from two places. A lot more people seem to only have one other person here, or no one at all...

[ :( ]

It's sad.

[dontyoujustwish]

Don't be silly.

I've been doing quite well for myself.

[proudsister]

Well, not for everyone then, I guess. Lotion?

[ Liz offers up the bottle of suntan lotion that she'd been rubbing into her skin. ]

[dontyoujustwish]

Oh! Thank you, I always forget about that.

[She takes the offered bottle and starts to rub some on herself.]

You'd think after all this time, humans might have evolved not to have such delicate skin. Then again, at least we don't catch fire and explode into dust.

[proudsister]

No, but sometimes it feels like it'd be easier than suffering the burn!

[ Seriously she's gotten some pretty bad burns before, when she was younger and less cautious. ]

I have a sister who would have way too much fun poking me.

[dontyoujustwish]

The burning sensation would be briefer, but much more fatal. I'm not a fan of fatal.

[proudsister]

True. Though I guess if it happened around here, it wouldn't matter much.

[ They're playing with the laws of life here. Though to be fair, a teacher did become a zombie back home... ]

[dontyoujustwish]

You're kidding, right? It still hurts.

[proudsister]

But it's temporary! And then poof, you're back, good as new.

[dontyoujustwish]

Physically, yes, but there could be mental scarring. Have you ever raised the dead before? It's not pretty.

[proudsister]

Not personally. There was a teacher at my school who came back from the dead, though!

[ shiver ]

He grosses me out.

[dontyoujustwish]

He announced it publicly? That's unusual.

[proudsister]

Well, it was sorta hard not to tell. I mean, he was at school one day all alive, and then he died. We all know he died. But then he came back a little while later. Friends of mine were there when he popped back out of his grave, too.

[ she says this so casually like it's not something to be alarmed about ]

[dontyoujustwish]

[Anya isn't alarmed either, but she does feel gypped.]

That sounds a lot simpler than it's really meant to be.
