Who: All the cute little heroes
When: Day 35, evening
Where: Back To Your Regularly Scheduled Great Outdoors, Just outside the train

[ The beach fades away all at once, taking the cheery sunshine with it as evening hits all at once-- it melts away in a shower of sparkles as the familiar setting re-emerges. There are new stars in the sky above in clover pink, senna red, jasmine blue, and licorice violet.

Just before the beach disappears entirely, the bubbly voice speaks once more: ]

Wasn't that so much fun! You all rrrrrreally got to know each other, didn't you? Keep up the good work~!

[ If you had any alcohol in hand you still have it, otherwise everything from the trial is gone. ]

[oh boy]

How you holding up, bud?

[schrodingerscockroach]

Exhausted, mostly. That was a lot of socializing.

[Also he's kind of wet now thanks to screaming into the ocean.]

Name's Dusk now.

[crimeson]

Dusk! Good to get your name.

[Randy is actually also pretty wet, but for nice reasons.]

Went swimming too?

[schrodingerscockroach]

....in a sense.

[crimeson]

...Promising.

[schrodingerscockroach]

....did find out screaming helps lower the stress levels.

[crimeson]

...Into the water?

[schrodingerscockroach]

Needed some way to muffle it.

[crimeson]

Did you jump into the ocean so you could muffle your screaming.

[schrodingerscockroach]

More walked into the water, but yeah.

I want to shake sense into so many people.

[crimeson]

That many? Damn.

[schrodingerscockroach]

It's stupid.

[He sighs, rubbing at his face.] Should have grabbed a drink when I had the chance.

[crimeson]

...I've got some back at Jasmine, if you need.

[schrodingerscockroach]

That sounds amazing.

[It's going to be a trainwreck, he hasn't had alcohol for like ten years.]

Though I was thinking of at least taking one memory tonight....

Might be better to drink after, in case Rean's worrying is justified.

[He figures it's a good compromise. Just take one memory just so he has some frickin' context.]

[crimeson]

Yeah, I've got plans at the moment regardless, but we can meet up when we're free?

[schrodingerscockroach]

Sure. Later tonight?

[crimeson]

It's a date! I'll message you when I'm free.

[schrodingerscockroach]

Aye aye sir. [Salutes.]

[crimeson]

[...POINTS AT.]

None of that, buddy.

[schrodingerscockroach]

Not a fan of those kind of jokes, huh?





Or because 80H?

[crimeson]

Both? It can be both, right?

[schrodingerscockroach]

Yeah, that works. Got it. No cheeky military terms of address, just possibly silly ones as the opportunity presents itself.

[crimeson]

I can handle some silliness, sure. Just a little.

[schrodingerscockroach]

It's always good to be able to laugh at yourself, I think.

[crimeson]

[he laughs]

I know we met in a kinda heavy trial, but you don't need to worry much about that with me.
