[390] open beach mingle;
[Welcome newbies and today-only newbies alike, while you're getting accustomed to the sights and sounds here's a few more. Rebecca opens a channel on the communicator with a bright sunny view of herself on the beach, water in the background and bright blue eyes focused on the lens. While she talks she'll swing the view around, letting snippets of the set up of a volleyball net be seen as well as a few tables worth of baked goods (thank you Chuck) and a sexy redhead boyfriend working grill.]

Hey guys. If you're looking for something to do or want some free food, come by the beach in sector one. My name's Rebecca to make introductions short and we're having a fun get together that's open ended, mostly so I can work on my tan. [She winks. There's more to it than that but she can elaborate later to the people honestly interested. And with a hopeful bite of her lip:] If you remember me from any time before, let's catch up too? We've got some drinks and when it starts to get dark I'm going to try and dig a fire pit. No wardens are around to tell me not to light things on fire so that's exactly what I'm going to do.

[OOC: Rebecca's network replies will have their own thread down below, and you're totally invited to make whatever you'd like of the post in your own comments as well. It's something of a beach party/ mingle with food (pies and the like, courtesy of Chuck), drinks, beach sports and tanning and Becca digging a fire pit later on for people interested. The beach has barbeques (also one manned by Aidan), huts and cabanas and a few harmless fish in the water as well.]

	Well done-- I can put the stuff on it. [She's finnicky about the order and you don't... know it anymore. Slightly quieter, to reaffirm:] Real meat. I don't mind veggie burgers sometimes but I mostly do that for mom. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's my girl. [ Real meat it is and there hasn't been a burger in this or any other world as carefully cooked as the one he's grilling now. It has to be perfect. It's the first one he'll ever cook for her, after all. ] How's school? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[She settles down to sit, pooling her skirt and rearranging it for a moment as she talks.] Good.

[A pause; she forgets this isn't the every day 'how's school going' question, and after that second passes she thinks to add some substance to the details.] I'm pretty good at reading, I'm ahead of the class... I get to read books the kids a year ahead are reading, and do their reading questions too. But for everything else I'm normal, I guess. I don't mind math so much, it's just frustrating sometimes.

	Math is the worst. [ School was pretty awful in general for him, as far as actual school work goes. He tried his best and everything was hard and maybe somewhere along the line he just accepted that he's stupid when in reality he may have some learning disabilities. Reading is still fun though, even if he's slow. ] Mom help you with your homework any? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Mmhm. [She plays with some nearby sand, digging down to find the damp stuff to build a little mound-castle with.]

She's good with number and measurements an' computer stuff. You guys sometimes build things together, and I like helping with that too. When I'm older I want to take a class that Molly did in trades and stuff. [She may be a bookworm but there's so much to do in the world, she wants to do it all.] I already know how to do a lot of stuff but mom says I have to be older before I can use the big tools.

	We build stuff together? [ That's a surprise to him but if anyone would be able to teach him it'd be Rebecca, he's sure of it. Never met a more patient person in his life, not counting his mom. ] You'll get old enough to do it before you know it. It goes real quick. I know I probably sound like an old man right now, but enjoy bein' a kid while you can. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Yeah, I got a tire swing and you an' grandpa helped build that treehouse we have. [Mom did too but honestly Rebecca just had more fun playing up there with her kids than anything else.]

I don't mind being a kid. Sometimes. [She wants to be treated like an adult too, tho.] Dad, are we... can we see mom tonight too? You said she's here, right?

But she won't remember me... [Sad twist to her words when she remembers that.]

	redclayheroics 2016-10-05 09:05 am UTC (link)
	Yeah yeah, we can see mom. Of course we can — I'm sure she'll be real happy to see you, even if she doesn't remember. [ He was, after all, though truth be told he's not entirely sure how Rebecca will react. Good, he hopes. This is a good thing, like this burger he just finished up. ] Alright, all done. You got all your fixin's over here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[She happily hops up and moves over to her burger, sandy hands wiped on her dress but really should still get a rinsing. It's relieving to think that they'll find mom and sort this all out... or at least that she'll have both of them (to herself for a change) and then maybe they can live together? Right? That'd be nice.]

You said you weren't dating her long. You do like her, right? You have to like her. You guys got married.

	[ Oh, they are so living together if this lasts more than a day. He's cautiously hoping for it while still very much knowing in his heart of hearts that that's not how it happens around here. ] Yeah, of course I like her. I love her. We just haven't known each other that long, y'know? But, ah... I'm not surprised, seein' you. Not really. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redcurls 2016-10-07 06:03 pm UTC (link)
	You have to get married. You have to. [She repeats, quieter. How else will she exist if you don't? She settles down with her burger, taking tiny bites.] Are you still dating? Or are you a couple, with a house an' stuff? [She won't have to pick which parent to sleep over with, right? Right?] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[ Oh, that's a question and a half. He chews on it a little, wanting to give her an honest answer without getting too honest about the sexpartment. ]

Well, uh... we're dating. We kinda have our own apartments, but they're in th' same building and I can't remember th' last time we didn't sleep in th' same bed. [ Is that gross. ] So I guess you could sorta say we're livin' together?

[Separate apartments-- that sounds so... weird. And not close and you guys are literally bread and butter how can you not be living together 24/7 but well at least you sleep in the same bed. Like back home. Though that's kind of silly that you house swap so often but who is she to judge your weird way of courting. As long as you do love each other.]

So you like, have your own space. But you... don't always need it because you like each other? [Mom has a workshop. She's trying to relate her version of you both to this situation.] But just dating. I'm not going to make that weird, am I? [Stricken pause.] I don't want to cause you to break up.

I don't think we need it at all, actually. 's just how things are right now. I used to live with some friends before we started datin', 's just... all kinds of new. Y'know?

[ Does she know? She's so little. He shifts a little closer to her, not sure he should hug her but certainly offering up the possibility should she want it. ]

You're not gonna make anything weird. I promise. You bein' here is kinda proof that we stay together, ain't it? You already know what's going to happen.

[ At least he's willing to cling to that belief for the time being. ]

[She thinks she knows but it's questionable, really. She just blinks, looking up at Aidan with wide curious eyes full of innocence and soon squinting curiosity. Mom and dad meeting. Why did they never ask about this before? Or did they, just to get backward answers?]

I guess. I just don't want to jinx it. [Eyes quickly downcast.]

But I love you so I don't wanna go anywhere else. I want to be with you and mom.

	Where else are you supposed to be? [ It's so obvious to him and if Rebecca's against it (which, as far as he's concerned, is impossible) then he'll just have to take her in himself. That's all there's to it. ] I love you too, sweetie. It's gonna be fine, I promise. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redcurls 2016-10-13 04:53 pm UTC (link)
	[She quietly sets down her burger and with doe eyes looks up at him, reaching out with her arms. Daddy hug her.] And we can go home together. Somehow. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2016-10-16 12:32 pm UTC (link)
	[ And hug her he will, all warm and tight and safe, the way his dad used to hug him. It's the best thing to pass on. ] We'll go home together. Don't you worry about that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redcurls 2016-10-19 12:32 am UTC (link)
	[So much hugging. Tight little spidermonkey clinging.] I love you Daddy. I don't be here without you or mom. It's not bad here but - I don't like it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2016-10-20 05:47 am UTC (link)
	I know. I don't like it much here either. [ Compared to home, at least. ] You're never going to be alone here, alright? I'll look after you. You're safe here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redcurls 2016-10-20 10:41 pm UTC (link)
	Okay. [Still holding on tight.] I don't think I can finish my burger. Can we go see mom now? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2016-10-21 05:20 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, of course. You want me to carry you? [ She feels very much like a clingy koala. He's unsure they'll get very far at all unless he carries her there. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redcurls 2016-10-22 05:51 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah. [She's ready to scramble up into his arms in a heartbeat.] Thank you. (Reply to this) (Parent)
