Warning(s): n/a



ONE: BONFIRES & TREATS

( there's a celebratory mood in the air and while roxy doesn't quite trust that it will last — that the armistice will last — she certainly enjoys it. she also enjoys the salt in the air and the rush of the waves against the shore. there are many lines of poetry about the sea, about salt and sand and water. roxy understands the appeal.

one stand claims to sell drinks that make one capable of breathing underwater and roxy stops near it, considering. )

Has anyone tested that claim yet?

TWO: FIGHT CLUB

( roxy ends up visiting the fight club. it's not that she's incapable of not following up on whispered rumours and hints, that she can't let a mystery go, it's that she's disinclined to. so here she is — a young woman in a pretty sundress and a straw hat, not particularly tall or strong-looking — watching the fight that's on-going.

she winces, now and again — but while it is in all the right places to make someone believe that she's unused to the sight of violence, that it isn't it at all. it's that the people fighting look like bloody amateurs. )

This is undignified. ( she complains after a moment, though only quietly. )

THREE: WILDCARD

( ooc: want to catch roxy talking a stroll along the beach, having a cocktail in a beachside bar or sitting in a beach chair under an umbrella? come at me! hmu @ abiosis if you want a more personalised starter or w/e!! )

Comments

[akron]

( and yet, here she is. )

Someone has to bear witness. ( she offers a shrug, unconcerned with his comment. ) Besides, I couldn't have known, could I?

( there goes the illusion that violence makes her wince. of course, her story involves the army because the best stories are based on truth, so that illusion was never one she wanted to maintain. )

[beknight]

No, probably not.

[ No one — even the most prepared or empathetic — knows before they experience something, do they. He rolls a shoulder and glances to the side. ]

Found anyone to bet on, yet?

[akron]

I'm not sure yet that I will.

( but she has been observing, of course. watching and assessing. after a moment, she points at someone she thinks is good, but not the best in the room. )

What about him?

[beknight]

Him?

[ He gives the appearance of some consideration. The truth is: Bruce knows the measure of every fighter here. ]

Hmm. What about him?

[ Indicating with his chin someone more roughed up, bloodied, but with the flash of an iron will in his eyes. He's been climbing the board slowly today — quite typical to set up an underdog and then have them lose the last match. ]

[akron]

Think he's smart enough to win against someone much bigger?

( he has the will, but in the absence of strength, will alone isn't enough. )
