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.

Why is the beach better? Jalian asked curiously.

//There's more space,// Jono replied, nodding to the shoreline around them. //We aren't walled in like we would be at the community centre. And... ah... we can see if anything is coming, this way.//

War. What was it good for? Making Jono paranoid.

//Less in the way of cover, I suppose. But the way I fight works best in open spaces.//

Jalian nodded. I work best with cover, but warning is also good. And I like the air.

//Plus, sand is much easier to be rid of than glitter,// Jono offered. Because only on Fandom would that be a legitimate concern.

"Sand washes off," Jalian agreed. Glitter never seemed to.

//And even falls off on its own, when it's dry,// Jono agreed. //I'd rather not have it all over me either if I can avoid it, but I've never been blinded by a rogue grain of sand when stepping out into the sun, either.//

She sent him a mingled confusion/astonishment. Glitter has blinded you? She didn't think it was that bad.

//Well, not actually blinded,// Jono replied, a bit amused in turn. //But it'll leave you with white flecks in your vision for a minute if the light hits it just so.//

Probably nothing that would kill you or anything. Lord, that would be terrible around here.

Jalian nodded in relief. I worried it was more dangerous than I'd thought.
furnaceface: (Awright)

//Oh, if it was that dangerous, there'd've been hell to pay over it years ago, most likely. Either that, or we would've figured out a way to weaponize it.//

A beat.

//But there's a thought.//

"Throw it at enemies?" Jalian suggested.

//A handful of glitter to the eyes would make a very effective distraction,// Jono agreed. //Even if it doesn't actually get in their eyes.//

So would a handful of sa" Jalian pointed out. Though maybe not as much.

//And the sand wouldn't continue plaguing them for weeks after the fact,// Jono agreed. Because he had experience with being evil, okay?

Jalian grinned. You beat them and annoy them! She liked that.

//If you can't do both, where's the fun in it, I ask you?//

This was really why Jono was teaching back in Westchester, too. To help bring up a whole new generation of bratty mutants.

Jalian's answer was wordless mirth.

She really did like Jono Starsmore, even if he was male.
