Galactica Point, Thursday Evening

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Cally was out at the beach, despite the partial cloudiness. She wasn't planning on a swim, but instead was sitting at the edge of the water, letting the waves splash up over her bare toes. She had her waterproof sack with her, and pulled out a single slice of toast from it, wrapped in paper towel.

She nibbled at it as she thought and contemplated. Images of friends gone, moved on, disappeared, lost forever. Relationships, friends and loves, all but shadows and memories left to cling to.

So apparently Anders still had excess energy to burn even after his insane workout, and figured a run around the island would do the trick.

Spotting Cally as he hit the beach part of his run, he slowed down a bit as he approached. "Toast on the beach, huh?"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Yep, toast," Cally said. "I forced Joxer to use the toaster for me."

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Anders put his hands on his knees and bent forward slightly to catch his breath. "That probably wasn't hard. You'd kick his ass any day."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, well, I wasn't going to risk using the toaster myself," Cally said. "As for ass-kickings, well... Not quite yet. I probably couldn't even faze a guy with a punch."

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Please. It's Joxer," Anders said. "Keep up your training, you'll be able to kick his ass with just your left pinky."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Cally chuckled. "Ass kicking isn't really high on my list of priorities," she said.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I can't really see you as the ass-kicking type. You'd probably be good at it, though," Anders replied. "Lords. I'm so frakking fidgety tonight."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Fidgety? How come?" Cally asked.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"I don't know! Trying to burn off some energy, or something. I've got way too much of it. Hell, I haven't even had caffeine at all today, and I'm still hyper," he complained, doing a few cooldown stretches just to keep active.

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"I vote you find Demyx," Cally teased.

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

"I would if I could f -- hey!"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"What?!"

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Anders leaned over and poked Cally lightly in the back of the head. "Stop trying to get me embarrassed!"

Walter finished with Pip up at Squirrel and jogged down to the beach. This location left him more solemn than the others, but he appreciated what Nadia was saying sending him here.

He spotted Cally and went to see if she was his next guide. "Hey."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Cally looked up at Walter and smiled. "Heeeeeey," she said.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter stayed back from the water's edge. Swimming here fully clothed was something for emergencies. "How's the evening going? And might you be holding something for me?"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Night's going fine," Cally said. "Though what makes you think I might be holding something? A girl can't just enjoy wet toes and toast?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Too casual. Walter grinned and said, "It might be because I've been on a bit of a chase around the island this afternoon and evening. I was just up at Squirrel cabin and a little bird told me to come down here."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"You met a talking bird?" Cally smirked.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter shrugged. "It's Fandom. Would that really surprise you?"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Nope," Cally said. "But I miiiiight have something for you, come to think of it."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"Might you? And would you consider giving it to me if I mentioned that it's my birthday?"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Really? Your birthday? Wow, I guess that does make it a special day, huh?" Cally reached into her bag and pulled out an envelope.

"But just handing it over seems to easy."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"I had to jump off the roof to get one of those from Pippi," Walter said with a grin. "Don't tell me I have to chase you into the water?"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Cally looked out at the water and back at Walter. "I totally don't have a swimsuit, and I don't want to get these wet." She appeared to think about things for a moment.

"What'll you give me for it?" she asked.
