The Beach, Friday Evening

A new Friday, a new change of scenery. Tamsin had hoped for somewhere else that stocked booze, but thankfully, she'd had the foresight of getting a whole bunch of it from the Restaurant before they moved this morning.

It was Friday evening, and Mobius's sun hung low in the sky, but it was warm, and there were birds chirping as they flew past Fandom's dome. Perfect atmosphere or whatever. There were large, glittery umbrellas dotting the sand for effect, a bunch of chairs and tables arranged just a few feet away from the sandy parts of the beach, and a few grills were cooking away meat and veggies for the incoming guests.

Fandom beach party. This would definitely end well.

[[ wait for the ocd up! ]]

Jalian grimaced and rolled her eyes. "There was a class, we had to. But not before then."

She paused. "Should I not question your taste in clothing?" she asked. "I was only concerned."

Jalian's directness could be very refreshing, and Lucille couldn't help smiling. "Some would assume it was an attempt to be cruel, but I don't."

Jalian nodded. She didn't see how that could be cruel, but she already knew people here were strange. "Good." She grinned. "Have you ever tried pants?" she asked. "I have tried a dress!"

She was only partly teasing.

Looking a little uncomfortable, Lucille said: "I believe there are trousers worn by women in my time for sports and cycling."

Clearly Lucille needed to find a pair of bloomers.

"Why not for other things?" Jalian asked. "I've seen the clothing; males wear pants."
crimson_sister: (serious)

"Oh, but I couldn't wear men's clothes," Lucille said. Perhaps that wasn't obvious to Jalian, like some other things.

"Why do they have different clothes?" Jalian asked. "Why can you not wear them?"

Nope; she'd seen the differences, she just didn't get them.

Lucille had never considered this, and struggled to find an answer. "It is customary." That was all she could some up with.

Jalian's eyeroll said what she thought of that. "Nobody here is customary," she pointed out.

"Perhaps it is a custom I like," Lucille replied, looking a little huffy.

Jalian shrugged. "If you like it, then," she said agreeably. She certainly didn't, but she wasn't the one having to wear the heavy, unwieldy things. If Lucille wanted to, that was her right.

Jalian was strange, Lucille noted not for the first time, but her directness could be oddly comforting.

"How have you spent your time lately?" she asked, expecting an answer that was truthful rather than just polite.

"In classes, and attempting to build a Doorway. It's going slowly," she confessed with a sigh. "I have to build the components first. You?"
crimson_sister: (curious)

"I have attended classes, and spent the rest of my time with books and music," Lucille said. "What is a doorway?

"A device for traveling the timelines," Jalian said. "I need to find Raven and bring her back, and Portalocity will not help."

"Where has she gone?" Lucille asked. She had heard on the radio that Raven had left, and while she didn't know her well, Raven had been someone she had at least liked better than some.

"To Kathy's world." Jalian frowned. "Only now she is stuck there."

"Kathy's world? I thought Kathy was dead?" Ringo had told her so, but Lucille had been asleep during that week.

Jalian nodded. "Kathy died, and Raven was left. They have closed all the portals there."
