While all around you the buildings sway | August Catchall

Characters: Pepper Potts, Devin Parker, and you! Many open starters
Date: Throughout August
Location: KPD, the beach (everyone come have fun in the sun!), and around Keeliai
Situation: It's hot, Pepper is planning beach parties, and Devin is avoiding people
Warnings/Rating: None


A. [Pepper] KPD | Throughout August | Open

There is, thankfully, less to do at work this month. Unfortunately, it's also incredibly hot. The police headquarters doesn't have the best cooling system, so there are a lot of fans set up to keep the air moving, but Pepper still feels like she's melting for the first half of the month. The second half is better, at least, but it seems like the heat is keeping pretty much everyone from making trouble. Pepper is rarely seen in the armor at work this month, instead favoring to patrol in her street clothing.

B. [Pepper] Night Markets | Throughout August | Open

It's considerably cooler at night, although still quite warm. The markets that open up at night are not only pretty but fun, and they remind her of street fairs that sometimes popped up in New York City. She does some regular shopping here, but she also goes just for fun, occasionally dragging along friends with her. Finding her there will be easy enough, if anyone else is shopping.

C. [Pepper] The Beach | Early August | Open

It's hot, and there are few better ways to beat the heat than to go swimming. Pepper's been to the edge of the shell before, but only when it was colder during the turtle move, so this is awesome. On a few of her days off, she gathers up snacks and towels and a bunch of water along with Tony and Gene, and herds them towards the shell's edge in the morning before it gets sweltering, grinning most of the way. There's an open invitation for any of their friends to join them, and it seems like a lot of the kedan have a similar idea, and there are even a few trips organized by one of the Guilds.

Pepper hasn't had the chance to swim much since coming to Keeliai, but it's hard to forget how, and almost as soon as they reach the water she divests herself of anything that shouldn't get wet and runs into the shallows. She hasn't forgotten about Gene potentially not being able to swim, so after some time just to splash around, she'll make sure to drag him out there, probably with Tony, to see how he does.

There will also be sandcastles, or at least sand sculptures of some kind or another. It's not a competition but... it may also be a competition.

D. [Devin] Water Sector | Throughout August | Open

Being naturally a few degrees cooler than the average human, the heat doesn't both Devin as much as it might some people. He continues his 'hobby' of learning the city, mapping and memorizing the streets. Most of the time, he's in Water Sector this month, both because he can find an easy place to cool off if he wants to, and because he's assuming that a certain someone will be less inclined to spend time near water, given her pyrokinetic abilities. If approached, he might talk, but he seems a bit more irritable than last month.

Marinette smiled a little weakly, "I might look her up then." Or she might ask Tikki if she knew anything about dances. Her kwami might not have any suggestions though. "You're right.. I'm being a little silly." Her nerves were going to end up sabotaging her date better than anything else.

At mention of the dress, she clapped a hand to her forehead, "My dress! Oh gosh I have to hurry up and finish it!" She grinned at Pepper though, "Well, it's going to be kind of Chinese motif, red on top, with roses at the upper left and lower right side, with a black skirt."

"If I had a camera, I'd ask Adrien to take pictures. But you can always come by when it's done, after the dance, and I'll show you what it looked like~!" She laughs a little, "People watching is definitely just as fun - I don't think some people appreciate the benefits of it." She's gotten some of her best ideas just watching people.
