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.

"I would tell you, but I don't know what most of this is. Except for the potato. You know, we actually have potatoes back where I'm from. But not... whatever this is?"

He picked up a strawberry to show it off.

"This is good, though. I could probably handle having more of these in my life."

"A strawberry," Wash supplied with only moderate humor. "No, not much fruit in space in my experience."

Somewhere... Sarge was wondering why he wanted to make a crack about Private Donut.

"Well, the fruit is grown planetside," Kanan replied with a shrug before popping the strawberry into his mouth. Yeah, he could definitely live with more of those in his life. "And for the most part, the galaxy I'm from has some fairly reliable shipping routes. But it all depends on where you are and how many credits you have."

And whether or not the Imperials had burned down the fields out of spite, yet.

Well, maybe those fields were filthy seditionists. Just sayin'.

"Any fruit we'd get was freeze dried. And terrible." Thank you, Wash. Thank you so much for that addition.

It was entirely possible that Kanan couldn't guess that freeze-drying fruit made it terrible!

... But not likely.

"I suppose it would at least last longer that way. But... yeah. Hard to imagine this, freeze-dried, being any good."

He ate another strawberry.

"It's one if the better ones." Which said all that needed to be said about the other fruits freeze dried.

"Eegh."

That was wonderfully insightful commentary, Kanan, thank you.

"Well, I guess at least you can appreciate real food all the more while you're here?"

"...that's true," Wash replied. "Even if the island is almost as bad as space."

Re: Tables and Seats

[personal profile] uncertain_dume 2016-05-27 07:48 pm (UTC)(link)
"Key word, almost?"

Almost was still a step up. Kanan had needed to settle for 'almost as bad' a few times in his life, after all.

Wash nodded in agreement, a slight smile turning up the corner of his mouth. "We take our food seriously here."

"I've eaten at Mooby's, Washington," Kanan chuckled, shaking his head. "You've got a long way to go before you convince me of that one."

This wasn't entirely true. Kanan had met Eliot and Hannibal, both of whom had opinions about the things that Kanan had been eating since getting here. Some of them slightly more murdery than others, but, well, talking cow, right?

Re: Tables and Seats

[identity profile] worstofalltime.livejournal.com 2016-05-28 01:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Talking cow indeed.

"Well, this is America. We take our bad food serious," he corrected. It was even true!
uncertain_dume: (Hey Hey)

"I would say I'm concerned," Kanan noted, "except I've seen much worse food than what's served up here, myself. If I could live off of that, I can live off of this."

He looked down at his plate.

"... Whatever it is."

Re: Tables and Seats

[identity profile] worstofalltime.livejournal.com 2016-05-28 01:49 pm (UTC)(link)
"I have no idea," Wash replied, looking concerned again. "Please don't get sick on me from all that."
uncertain_dume: (Beard Stroke)

Re: Tables and Seats

[personal profile] uncertain_dume 2016-05-28 01:51 pm (UTC)(link)
"If I can't eat it all, it'll be coming back home with me for breakfast," Kanan shared, unconcerned. "I don't plan on wasting it, but I'm not going to make myself sick with it, either."

A pause.

"Unless strawberries don't go so well with whatever it is that those ones are sitting in, anyway."

"Well, I guess we'll find out." NO, WASH.

[personal profile] uncertain_dume 2016-05-28 02:00 pm (UTC)(link)
IT WAS MUSTARD PICKLES. NOTHING WAS WORTH THIS.

"I guess we will, won't we?" Kanan picked up a strawberry, and then lifted it up slightly as if he was toasting with the thing. "Here goes nothing."

Re: Tables and Seats

[identity profile] worstofalltime.livejournal.com 2016-05-28 02:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, Wash had plenty of practice keeping a straight face when someone was about to do something completely horrible. THANKS, PROJECT FREELANCER.

That was the only reason he didn't look queasy over this. Literally the only reason.
uncertain_dume: (Bzuh)

Re: Tables and Seats

[personal profile] uncertain_dume 2016-05-28 02:09 pm (UTC)(link)
And into Kanan's mouth went the mustard strawberry.

And to his credit, this time he didn't even make a sour face. Not really. He looked a little surprised for a second, and then stared down at his plate skeptically for a moment as he chewed. Then swallowed.

"Tangy."

Yes. Yes, it would be.

"And I will completely understand if you choose to leave me to my fate," Kanan replied, reaching for another mustard-dipped strawberry, and then this time not-so-subtly trying to wipe the excess mustard off on the most spongy thing on his plate.

That chocolate cake was going to be a treat later, really.

"I brought this upon myself."

Re: Tables and Seats

[identity profile] worstofalltime.livejournal.com 2016-05-28 02:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeeeeeah.

"It's like watching a trainwreck that keeps going," Wash replied with a more pronounced smile.

"That's probably the most appropriate metaphor for my entire experience on this island so far, yes," Kanan agreed, and was relieved that the next strawberry was a little less disagreeable. "Once they're done wrecking the train, they send another one through."

Re: Tables and Seats

[identity profile] worstofalltime.livejournal.com 2016-05-28 02:30 pm (UTC)(link)
"That sounds like a general metaphor for life." A terrible, terrible life.

[personal profile] uncertain_dume 2016-05-28 02:35 pm (UTC)(link)
"Wreck after wreck until they run out of trains? Damn, Washington, that's bleak."

Bleak, but Kanan wasn't exactly arguing. So.
