The Beach, Monday Morning

[blinkandsneeze.livejournal.com]

Viki had to admit that, really, the water was quite beautiful in the morning, as she sat with her legs curled beneath her and watched the waves break upon the beach.

It was almost soothing, though she wasn’t perturbed by anything, and she wondered idly how long the waves had been landing here. Or rather, as the island had a tendency to move about, just how long the waves had been here, carelessly breaking against each other in the tumble-over-the-head sort of play that waves indulged in.

What a luxury, right? To ceaselessly play. Viki laughed, startling the birds no doubt, and fell back against the sand to stare up at the sky.

[Open as a beach tends to be!]

Amber was in a fairly good mood, a reflective mood, and as it was Monday morning and she was bright-eyed, she had nothing better to do so a walk it was. One that led her to the beach and slipping off her shoes, they dangled from her fingers as she walked along barefoot. The sand felt wonderful through her toes.

Laughing, however, had her head spapping up and she followed the noise quite easily as it was ahead of the set path she'd chosen. She came upon Viki and smiled down at her, totally interrupting her with a bright, "Good morning, Vikki."

Viki blinked up at Amber, still laying back on the sand, and grinned. "It is rather, don't you think?"

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

"Yah," she said with a glance around before looking back down at the girl, "it is. I was just taking a walk, and can be on my way if I've interrupted you at all?"

[blinkandsneeze.livejournal.com]

"Thoughts are made to be interrupted," she said easily, pushing herself into a sitting position. "Though walks might not be if you'd rather not. I was just thinking about the waves."

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

Amber totally took that as an invitation to sit down and interrupt away. "What about the waves?" she asked, staring out across the ocean.

[blinkandsneeze.livejournal.com]

In her own way, that had been an invitation.

"They're always moving," she said, with a quick grin at Amber before settling her gaze on the waves, "and I wondered if it was some sort of play to them, and how they felt about an island interrupting their game. And then I thought it wouldn't be much fun to be forever playing a game, so maybe they're happy with the change."

Ah, Viki, Amber mused silently. Can always count on her to be so philosophical. "Maybe, or maybe they just ever are. They keep moving and moving no matter what happens around them because they're supposed to."

[blinkandsneeze.livejournal.com]

"Maybe," she said, "though I thought, really, that doing anything for forever would get tiring. Not just with waves. Do waves have a boss?"

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

Amber chuckled. "Doing anything forever normally would, but... I guess their boss is just Earth... Mother Nature... the moon and sun." Hee. Amber could really have fun with this kind of talk. Trying to make crap up and stuff.

"It's possible," she mused, contemplating that, "though it might be hard to say for sure any which way."

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

"Maybe there are people here who can actually talk to them," she mused. "Not that I know of any, but you just never know. Isn't there like a God of the ocean?" Yeah, this was Cal's mythological geekery coming out in her.

[blinkandsneeze.livejournal.com]

"Maybe this ocean," Viki said. "Though I've never heard of one back home. Perhaps they don't mind following orders here."

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

"Hm," she murmured. It was something to think about when she didn't have anything else to do. And now she would ask Cal about there being a God of the ocean.

"Besides staring at the waves," she grinned, "how have you been?"

[blinkandsneeze.livejournal.com]

"Well and good, I should think," she said, completely amendable to a subject change. "Momoko asked if I had superpowers, and I met a frog while at work."

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

"Aside from teleporting?" she smirked. "And... Robin the frog?"

[blinkandsneeze.livejournal.com]

"The same, teleportation," she explained, "because Miss Mary had me scheduled in two places at once on Saturday, so I had to be certain not to be caugh neglecting one job in favour of the other. And, yes, I think that was his name?"

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

Amber wrinkled her brow. "Why would Mary schedule you in two places?" She nodded. "Little green guy. He shocked me when I first came here. I had no idea what to make of him. Sometimes I still don't but he's pretty cute."

[blinkandsneeze.livejournal.com]

"I didn't mind," she said, "and it wasn't like I couldn't do so, but she needed someone to run both the booth at the market, and to be at the hotel. It was rather quiet, either way, so not too much of a hassle. He's sweet enough, one supposes, though I'd not know if that is just him or something of all frogs."

Viki considered that. "I don't think I've talked to a frog before."
