[kill_switch]

Who: Furiosa and you!
Broadcast: Scenic shots
Action: Planet - Beachside
When: Today

It was almost too much to believe.

An unspoiled planet, clear blue skies, water as far as the eye could see. She pans the camera around to catch the expanse of beach with the ocean stretching out to the horizon, the sun glinting off the waves, a few puffy clouds wafting their way past.

"I will never tire of this."

She'll be on the beach, just walking along and taking it all in. Trudging through sand is not unfamiliar with her, but the sound of the waves is intoxicating and foreign.

Comments

[iamawaited]

[He had needed her urging to turn the Red Fish back around and return to port, but once there, it had taken very little to get him to leave the ship. He plans to have a good long poke around in its guts later, but just as she had on the Marsiva, she'd promised to show him water, and...

And she has more than done that. Her camera might catch him crouching on the very edge of the beach, boots digging into the wet sand, one hand in the water. He stares at the tide ebbing and flowing around his fingers.

Eventually, he scoops a little into his mouth, then grimaces and spits it out.]

No good to drink, though.

[kill_switch]

[Furiosa cuts the feed for now, tucking her device back in one of the leather pockets on her belt.] Saltwater.

[She remembers reading it, somewhere and somewhen long ago. She approaches him to stand at the edge of the surf and watches it roll over the sand.] What do you think?

[iamawaited]

There's so much.

[He moves forward a little more, the water just lapping around the soles of his heavy boots. Then, remembering the shower -- and how uncomfortable that had gotten after a while -- he moves back to sit on the sand and pull them off.]

You know things live in it?

[kill_switch]

[She nods, looking out over the waves.] Lots of things. Big things. About the size of the War Rig.

[iamawaited]

What? No, the one I saw was--

[He holds up his hand, holding his fingers apart to indicate the size of a goldfish.]

Man said it keeps him company.

[innercactus]

[ Ah! Even better, he doesn't have to find which ship she's on, if she's on the beach!

... Of course, then it's where on the beach is she. So Asteffiel wanders the beach, a long thin leaf over something he has tucked to his side, hiding it from view. Or at least view from the front - from the back, it's pretty clearly a little pot.

Wait there is a person. Looks like the right person? ]

I found a plant for you!

[ He's tall and purple and wearing leaves. Does he need to reintroduce himself? ]

action-

[kill_switch]

[Furiosa turns to the voice and gives him a good looking over. It's pretty apparent who he is.]

Asteffiel. It's nice to finally meet you.

action-

[innercactus]

[ He's nodding as he gets closer and finally stops. ]

It is~

[ He holds the thing he had been holding out, still with its leaf draped carefully over. ]

Your surprise plant!

[kill_switch]

[She smiles, small but genuine. It's always good to see a bit of green, and if she had to admit to herself, she was eager to have even just the teeniest connection to the Green Place in her quarters.]

So. What is this little guy?

[initforthemoney]

[I'm very sorry for this Furiosa but you have already met the talking pony so maybe a penguin will be less of a blow now.

Frobisher is having a swim as Furiosa records her video, as he's been doing pretty much since they arrived on this planet. Hey, it's not like he's going to get to go swimming again once they're all back on the ships, so better take advantage of it while he can.

Needing a break, he swims back into shore and waddles his way back onto the sand, just catching the end of her broadcast. And hey, he's always happy to make a new friend especially with a fine looking lady.]

You actually been in the water yet? You think it looks pretty from here, you gotta see the coral they got down here!

action -

[kill_switch]

[She focuses the feed on the penguin for a bit, because animals are a rare thing indeed.]

[And then he talks and she just has to lower the device and stare at him for a long, quiet moment. Yes, she has already been introduced to the concept of talking animals but it's still weird.]

I'm not really dressed for it.

[She's better dressed for a motorcycle ride, to be honest.]

[initforthemoney]

Not to blow your mind or anything, pal, but I think it's entirely possible to swap out what your got on at some point. Unless they're glued on or something, I ain't gonna judge.

[He trudges a little further inland, and gives himself a good full-bodied shake.]

This is the life, lemme tell ya. If I don't see the inside of one of them spaceships again I'm gonna be one happy bird.

[kill_switch]

Or I could just prefer this to the alternative. [She's spent so much of her life lately trying to look androgynous, trying to slide under the notice of hyper-sexed males; the last thing she needs is prancing on a beach in a bikini.]

[She can agree with him on that assessment, though. She nods with a thoughtful sound.] It is beautiful out here.

[ action ]

[touchofrogue]

[Assuming Furiosa is still walking the beach toward evening, then she'll likely come across Rogue, sitting on the stand and watching the sunset.

She glances over at the other woman's approach, gives a little nod of acknowledgement, and turns her attention back to the sunset.]

[ action ]

[kill_switch]

[She nods in turn. It was a pretty spectacular sunset.]

[ action ]

[touchofrogue]

[Well worth watching in silence, and Rogue is really... pretty okay with silence, although it's something she's more comfortable sharing with people that she knows. So if Furiosa has paused long enough to admire the sunset in Rogue's vicinity, she'll eventually feel compelled to break the silence.]

...it's kinda weird, right? But it is beautiful.

Re: [ action ]

[kill_switch]

[She's not the biggest talker, but she's not allergic to conversation like some people.]

It is. I didn't know sunsets came in these colors. [Her world had been high contrast; scorching orange and reds during the daytime, deep violets and near-black blues at night. It's a different environment out here, different atmosphere, andvisually stunning with all that water.]

[unbearablynaive]

[Clad in a bright yellow Speedo, the Vision is taking a shortcut back to where the Windrose's shuttle is parked. He's carrying a glowing yellow fish in a lantern-type carrying case familiar to anyone who's been into the bars and restaurants on this particular island; the color of the fish precisely matches that of the stone set into his forehead. He nods to her as he passes, recognizing the difference in dress that marks a Fleeter compared to a native.]

[kill_switch]

[By now Furiosa is used to seeing far more beings than she ever thought imagineable, so she's not entirely surprised by this new person. He's perplexing - especially the stone set in his forehead - but what draws her attention most is the fish in its lantern. Was the who Nux had been talking about?]

Nice fish.

[unbearablynaive]

Thank you. [It had taken him a very long time to find one precisely the right shade of yellow, so he's quite proud of his purchase and holds it up for inspection.] They're useful as well as ornamental. I could hardly resist purchasing it.

[kill_switch]

[She wonders. This had to be the guy Nux was talking about.]

Did you happen to talk to a boy? Heavily scarred, two lumps on his shoulder? Overeager? He was telling me about your fish, actually.

Video

[goldenglasses]

[Vash, a fellow desert planet resident, can spot the walk of someone use to walking on shifting sand. There's something subtle into it. Now, does that mean sand like this sea? Or one who often visits a land with soft sand? He can't tell, but he still smiles a warm and welcoming smile as he sits on a sand dune.

He holds up his hand in a wave as he sees her walking towards him.] Breath taking isn't it?

Video

[kill_switch]

[She directs her attention to him when she sees him waving. It's probably pretty likely she is from a sand-sans-beach environment, given the amount of tattention she was giving the ocean earlier.]

It really is. New for you, too?

Video

[goldenglasses]

[Vash nods his head and lets his eyes wander to match her gaze. He has also been unable to look away for very long from the ocean.]

Yes. My planet doesn't have anything even close to this. [He chuckles softly with a smile.] And here I was excited by the lake I saw on a different planet when there was something like this out there.

[kill_switch]

I'm not crazy about being here, but at least it can show me something new.
