[open] gotta get down on...saturday

[littlecousin]

Characters: OPEN
Date: 9/7, early afternoon through night
Location: shell edge somewhere
Situation: impromptu partay
Warnings/Rating: warn in individual threads, if necessary

This is a party. Kara had the idea and Nita managed the execution. With some Green Lantern help (the universe's most powerful weapon? great for transporting buffet tables and tiki torches) a section of "beach" has been set up with snacks, a surprisingly good bar, deck chairs, and various pool toys--where Nita came by an inflatable horsey ring is anyone's guess.

As it gets closer to evening, the grill is lit and heartier foods are available, though the selection runs rather heavily to fish, since the ocean is right there and nothing can outswim either of your hostesses. That said, you owe it to yourself to try the grilled pineapple.

Anyway, you know what to do.

[bereavements]

Not that I know of. [ He shrugs. ] As long as we can get back?

[unfettered]

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

[Giving him a grin, Erica breaks into a run and as soon as she can, leaps into the water. It's deep off the edge, and so she sinks under completely immediately.]

[bereavements]

[ A beat, before he shakes his head, follows after at a running start and leaps with her. He dives, easily into the water coming up as he shakes his hair out. ]

[unfettered]

[Erica surfaces a moment later, hair drenched down her back. Sure, all of her curls are gone but the important thing is that somehow her swimsuit stayed in place. Hooray for Atlantean swimsuits.

Looking over to Isaac, she wades in the water.]

You know aside from the whole kidnapping thing, this is pretty incredible.

[bereavements]

Yeah. We're on the back of a giant turtle in a space between death and dreaming. It's crazy. And most of the time, not dangerous.

[unfettered]

[Wrinkling her nose, she drifts around Isaac, looking between him and the people on the beach, at times to the water beyond them.]

Any chance they're just saying that to be dramatic? I mean seriously, death? Dreaming?

[Superman, she gets. This existential limbo is a bit harder to swallow.]

[bereavements]

[ He treads water, happy to be getting a change of pace. ]

I don't think so. We were docked at this place called Sinbrilee a few weeks back. There were these two realms. Death and dreaming. Stiles had to wander on into Death.

[unfettered]

Of course he did. Can't go anywhere without getting into trouble?

[Erica rolls her eyes slightly, but really it's not like this is a shock. Isaac might as well have told her the ocean is wet and the sun is bright.]

Heard something about that earlier. Heard it was pretty messed up in there for all of you, actually.

[bereavements]

Yeah, it was. Did Stiles say something?

[unfettered]

No, actually. Scott did when I first got in a couple days ago. Realm of death, he said. Followed by a warning that I shouldn't explore on my own and that Stiles talks about threesomes a lot when he gets drunk.

[Y E P.]

[bereavements]

[ And he goes under, emerging, getting his hair a little more wet. Not what he needs to hear. ]

[unfettered]

[Then it occurs to her after the fact.]

He didn't proposition you and Scott, did he?

[Oh ho ho.]

[bereavements]

Agh, no! [ No, no, no, no, no! ] He didn't! He just talked about how he'd be a virgin forever and me, Scott and Allison should just "do it already."

[unfettered]

[Erica snorts at his reaction, can't help it. Poor Isaac, that's a mental picture he didn't need, apparently--wait.]

Wait, wait, you and Scott and Allison?

[When did Allison get into the picture? Or was it Isaac into the picture with Scott and Allison?]

[bereavements]

He thought we should all have a threesome.

[ Oh, does he have to explain this part? He's trying to skirt that as he swims around Erica, stretching his arms. ]

[unfettered]

[Erica just shakes her head slightly.]

Well that would be something.

[Hot is what that would be. Hell Erica wouldn't mind her own threesome but that's not likely anytime soon. So she dives under a moment, enjoying the activity, before surfacing again.]

Can't see you appreciating his interest in your sex life.

[bereavements]

It's not going to be.

[ He waits, sorting his thoughts, how to explain if she asks more questions. ]

I didn't. I wanted to punch him. But, I was falling asleep on Scott. [ Why does all of this sound so suspect?! ]

[unfettered]

[Falling asleep on Scott. Erica raises an eyebrow at that.]

Sounds cozy. Three of you all living together and all of that.

[She flicks some water at him playfully.]

The company must be nice, huh?

[bereavements]

It's fine. It's convenient. A lot of the time I miss my own suite. It's massive. Best place I ever lived. [ A beat. ] I slept on the floor of Derek's loft.

[ He shields himself, smiling. ]

But, I don't hate waking up alone. [ KEEP THROWING THOSE OUT THERE ]

[unfettered]

[RIGHT LIKE SHE REALLY BELIEVES THAT NOW.]

Having your own space can be nice. Don't mind my suite even if it's a bit...rustic.

[Flicking water at him again, she adds:]

Show me yours after the party? Haven't been in the Fire sector much yet, much less seen the suites.

[bereavements]

I liked it. It was -- yeah, rustic's a really good word.

Yeah, sure. Try not to be too jealous. [ He flicks it back, finally. ]

[unfettered]

I won't be jealous. I live in a tree. Everyone else's is probably boring.

[She pushes her hair over her shoulder with a grin. It's nice to just talk about this. To swim and chat and pretend that everything is completely, entirely normal. Carefree, even.]

[bereavements]

[ He grins, also appreciating their quiet moment. ]

And I live around fire. You should see my kitchen.

I need to steal that icon

[unfettered]

Oh yeah?

[Erica swims back slightly, arms guiding her as her legs kick gently.]

You know how to actually cook anything in it?

YEP, ruining hearts everywhere

[bereavements]

I can make cookies. And if I can get my hands on oven pizza. Grilled cheese?
