008 // summer lovin, having a blast

[serpentis]

Who: Dorian and YOU
Broadcast: Everywhere
Action: INSIDE THE THREE TWINS
When: right meow

[Dorian's got on swim trunks and a loose robe over that and is holed up in his bunk with a pile of books next to him.]

You know, I certainly didn't sit down one day and say to myself- "you know what would be lovely? Something that would truly make me wish I was trapped in a small metal can all day, shooting through the air and feeling sick"- but here we are. Ah, yes, what could be better than a little beach vacation? Why not something entirely too hot with giant bugs and sand that gets fucking everywhere. Oh, and to top it all off? Rain! And storms! At entirely inopportune moments!

Lovely.

[UGH.]

Vinhedis. Let me know when we're planning on leaving.

action ....

[ino]

Awww, c'mon, Dorian. Think of all the cute shirtless boys running around.

[serpentis]

[Dorian quirks a brow at her from over his book.]

Can't I just have them delivered to me? Isn't that what this network is for?

[ino]

What, you want someone to set up a creep cam for you?

[Video]

[child_of_bhaal]

You don't like the beach?

[She's getting pretty tan. No, not burnt. Tan. Yay special genetics. Also she is smiling and there's tropical flowers woven in her messy, curly braid. Beach vacation certainly agrees with her.]

[serpentis]

What? No, Maker's left asscheek, no.

[He laughs softly.]

I meant more...call someone up, request three men with palm fronds to be sent to fan me while I read. I would even pay extra if they brought alcohol.

[ino]

[ She snorts in amusement ]

All the alcohol here is made with algae, you know.

[it's bright out and there's a big glare on his screen, so Nel shields it with his hand, peering down to try and see Dorian's face on the communicator.]

...Are you inside??

[dawnwillcome]

[Cue concerned bestie look.]

Have you run out of the tea I gave you? It was supposed to keep you from feeling sick.

[Fenris has, of course, been spending most of his time working. He's not a fan of this planet, either, the fish smell just follows you around everywhere. So he can at least offer Dorian a little sympathy.

A little.]

You are still feeling unwell.

[Part statement, part checking if he's okay.]

action; hello new shipmate

[zessica]

[And here's a knock on the hatch door! After a moment, Zessica peers inside.]

Not a fan of beaches?

[Video]

[serpentis]

I don't care for the outdoors and sand on my buttcheeks, no.

[video]

[serpentis]

Where else would I be?

video

[serpentis]

I...yes, I have, back after our little excursion with the bug ship. I've been meaning to see you to get more...but I'm certain you understand how hard it is to pry me away from a decent book.

[serpentis]

You might think, being born out near the sea, that I might have more of a tolerance for it, but no. Between the smell and the damnable boats that get tossed everywhere when you're in them, I'll stay inside.

[He's still wearing his swimwear tho.]

[Video]

[child_of_bhaal]

[Thanks for the image, Dorian. We all know you did that on purpose.

Moving on. She'll just pretend that didn't happen and make silly, obvious jokes instead.]

How do you get anywhere if you don't go outside though?

video

[dawnwillcome]

Dorian.

[That's her disapproval tone. She disapproves because you are dumb.]

I keep enough prepared that you should never have to run out. Honestly, you should have told me you were running low. I'll bring some now.

Video;

[wolfuncaged]

....And yet you insist on wearing those blighted things.

[Dorian he always appreciates seeing more of you, but that swimwear is garish. ]

Video;

[serpentis]

Oh? Would you prefer me out of them? That can be arranged.

[wow Fenris walked right into that one.]

[serpentis]

[DISGUSTED NOISE]

I'm not quite that desperate.

[Video]

[serpentis]

Who says I need to go anywhere? I have a stack of books from the library, and mildly edible protein cubes.

video

[serpentis]

You needn't bother yourself just on my account. I'm perfectly fine at the moment, Jove.

[Dorian Pavus Hates Gifts.]

action!

[serpentis]

I'm not a fan of the outdoors in general.

[He rests his book on his chest, open to the page he was on.]

How are you today? Zessica, was it?

[Video]

[child_of_bhaal]

Books, though certainly staples of life, are only a taste of the feast that is the world.

[This sounds like a quote. Surely, Syeira is to young to be that pretentiously philosophical.]

Though, I suppose, in this case, "cosmos" would be a better word.

Video;

[wolfuncaged]

[He really did. Fenris groans, blushing and putting his face into his hands. Dorian, no.]

I thought you were desoerately unwell.

[That's not a no.]

Video;

[serpentis]

Only when I look at the water, and there's hardly any to be seen here. But here, look for yourself.

[A quick pan around the room and nope! No water. And then there's a nice panning shot and he lays back down on his cot he hopes you appreciate the abs, Fenris.]

See?
