[ location: bronte beach ] let that igloo cooler mark your piece of paradise.

Word has it, Taxon, that there's going to be a party. These rumors are not untrue, for one slaying has arranged something of a get together for the Fourth of July. Unfortunately, the Extras have caught wind of this soirée and are already in the presence of crashing it, rocking those holey jeans and chilling with some Lynyrd Skynyrd and good ol' Hank Williams. This is their kind of party.

Don't let them have all the fun. The sun is getting low, so get on out here and get your party on before fireworks start lighting up the faux night sky.

[ he laughs and waves the frisbee. ] Oh good, I was...advised to bring it, we don't really have these things in my world. [ frisbees? beach parties? beaches? any would qualify, really. ]

Are you settling in? Found a place to stay yet?

[ Piper laughs ] They can be fun. If you've got really great catching and throwing skills, that is.

Yeah, I am. [ She smiles ] As best as I can. Do you ever get over the fact that you were brought here by aliens? Or is it hamsters? I can't seem to keep track.

Ah, well, given my coordination... [ he chuckles and shrugs, pretty much dimissing his own frisbee-ish abilities ]

Aliens that look like hamsters. [ quick nod of confirmation goes here ],/small> A-and...kind of? I mean, for me it's just kind of how things are, you know? B-but then this is my second summer here so-- I've kinda gone native, I think.

You can still have fun. I can't throw something in the direction I want it to go in to save my life. [ Feel better, Glitch. Piper's really good at blowing shit up. Sports? No. ]

[ She cocks an eyebrow ] So they take on the appearance of hamsters. That's not scary. [ Piper laughs, despite herself ] And that's a good thing? Going native? Does it make being here any easier?

Oh, I'm sure with some practice you can...i-it's all about rhythm, and physics and wind resistance. [ there's the firm nod of someone who has strung together a set of words which he knows sounds impressive. ]

I I think not being scary is part of their thing, they like to talk about taking care of us but... [ he shrugs and looks out to the ocean, tries imagining the forests of home. ] It's easier but m-maybe easy's not good, you know? If you get to used to it you stop wanting to leave. I think.

[ Incredibly impressive. ]

[ Makes sense. But the Extras are still freaky. And that's what Piper focuses on. ] Take care of you? Do you mean in the hospital sense or in the put clothes on your back and food in your belly sense?

[ there's a head tilt as he tries to figure out how to explain it. ]

Well, the clothes and food do help, even if they cost credits, but i-it's more just...trying to make us happy. Like this whole beach thing wasn't here before, and and they probably think it makes up for keeping us cooped up for weeks.

[ Her eyebrows raise at that. ] So they just add things to make us happy? [ Huh. ] Do you trust them? Trust the things they make appear?
