Who: Roxy Morton (akron) & you.
What: Roxy visits Flona Cove.
When: first week of may
Where: flona cove
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!! )

[Rocket barks a laugh.] You can sell out completely to one of the schmucks in either city if you want something like that. There's a few places run by our people, but they're few and far between.

[akron]

What makes you consider it selling out?

( her tone is crisp and precise — but not challenging so much as curious. )

[beatupgrass]

Eh, I don't do loyalty to any kind of government, especially ones as screwed up as these guys. You get committed to one, and you might as well be stuck.

[Said the raccoonoid with maxed out Wyver REP, but that's almost entirely because he works for Cree...]

[akron]

( this is getting interesting. )

Screwed up? ( she lets her eyes widen a little. )

[beatupgrass]

Were you here for the kidnapping crap? 'Cause that was pretty bad. And there's some people in power who ain't right in the head.

[akron]

No, I wasn't.

( her lips press together. ) I woke up just after.

[beatupgrass]

Well there you go. [He snorts derisively.] We're supposed to be the Blessed of Thesa or some religious crap, but all I've gotten for my troubles is nothin' that makes me feel any kind of blessed.

[akron]

( ah. that makes sense, she figures. it's another piece of a puzzle about this place, about the people in it, refugees and natives alike. his name's popped up way back on the network. )

Doesn't it come with any benefits?

[beatupgrass]

There were some people kissing ass something fierce when y'all came down this last time. That's about the only benefit I've seen.

The only benefit we've really got [and this he says with an aggravated sigh] is the one thing we can't talk about around these losers.

[He lowers his voice so the other patrons can't hear.] That whole "we should all be dead with our universes thing, but thanks to the Natha we ain't" thing.

[akron]

Yes, that's quite something, isn't it.

( she's still not sure what to make of it. of her parents in stasis, of the dead galahad alive in stasis, of merlin — it's a lot. )
