T-shirts, cut-offs, and a pair of thongs

WHO: Beach Party People!
WHERE: The MAC, the party bus, a rest stop, and the Wildwood Beach!
WHEN: Friday 11am and onward into the afternoon and evening
WARNINGS: Possible make outs? Possible fights?
SUMMARY: Teens and young adults in an RV driving to NJ to have a drunken bonfire. What could possibly go wrong???
FORMAT: OPEN! There will be sections for different locations and times of day, so feel free to tag in and collect as much CR as you like!

Jessica was beyond excited. In the days leading up to the RV trip, she barely shut up about it. Even as she boarded the RV Laura had procured for their adventure and took the shotgun seat, she could barely stop talking. It was a beautiful day in the City, and the weather reports for their destination in Southern New Jersey called for blue skies and sunshine. It would be perfect beach-going weather, and it was bound to be the perfect summer night!

We could've been better. -hic- We might've learned with time. The new generation wouldn't -hic- have to reproduce the mistakes of our predecessors.

And I'll never be a -sobHIC- mother now... [ ;~;

she takes vriska's hands by the wrists and pulls them off of her ]

Would you -hic- stop it?! No one's going to hate you for feelings as though we've -hic- been taught to do things in a most damaging manner! It's the only -hic- idea that makes sense to me anymore!

I think we probably would've kept making those mistakes, though.

[A sniffle escapes Vriska now as Kanaya pushes her hands away.]

...I would have, anyway. I was trying really hard to. Because there wasn't any other way, you know. But--

[A bigger sniffle.]

Some of us, some of us were kind of different! And...and...!

[She bursts into tears and flops forward onto Kanaya's chest.]

You would've made a really good mother, Kanaya. Especially the way the humans thought of it. You would've been a better mother to me than my lusus ever was. I wouldn't have minded having you as a lusus, or a mother, or whatever!

[Is this the most horrible possible time for Vriska to try to kiss Kanaya? Most likely. Is this the time when Vriska does try to kiss Kanaya? You bet your ass it is.]

[ she'd finally wrapped her arms around vriska and probably would have had something to say but

what is even going on anymore

she sliiiides her head backwards in surprise ]

What--

-HIC-

What are you--

[Sniff.]

I don't know anymore! But it would...it would be pretty cool to kiss you, I thought. I just thought that. That's all.

[Because feelings! What are they even! Also, everything is kind of swimmy and they aren't even near the water.]

[ well shit, feelings, you're pretty much all over this thing. so she's just going to rest her chin on top of vriska's head ]

I...

-hic-

I never know how I should -hic- feel anymore. Especially around you. Too many -hic- directions tugging my heart around.

A part of me still -hic- loves you, Vriska, and it probably always will, but I don't think...

-hic-

...I don't know...

[It kind of feels nice. The chin thing. Maybe that's better than kissing. Just holding. Yeah. The holding is nice.]

You know. I'm starting to think. Yeah. I'm starting to think that...

That...

It would be cool if we didn't think so much about what we should feel and do. And maybe instead we just did what we really wanted.

I'm pretty sure that would be bad, though. I can't do that. You probably have some stupid reason you can't do that, too.

In the majority of instances I'm -hic- not sure what I want to do, though! Have I already -hic- said that? I feel as though I've already said that.

-hic-

But yes, I suspect everyone has such obligations and -hic- duties conspiring against them. You, myself, even Rose! But even that is -hic- unsteady ground. Tank Girl tells me that sometimes duties must be...one may have to -hic- neglect them for her own sake, but I don't know. I doubt I ever could.

She also -hic- says that some mistakes will be inevitable and instead of being -hic- afraid of them, we should embrace them and attempt to learn from them. She never did -hic- mention how not to be afraid of them.

That seems to -hic- be my response to much of her advice.

[Vriska sniffles a little.]

I'm not sure I was listening enough to tell if you said it already! Do you think I should listen to people more? Hey. Don't answer that! Don't answer that. I'm pretty sure...I wouldn't like the answer.

[More sniffles.]

Embrace mistakes? That's stupid! Mistakes are things that get you culled. That's what they are. Um, yeah. Why were we talking about mistakes? I don't make those. I don't...

I make a lot of mistakes.

[Kanaya, hope you don't mind being clung to. Vriska's at least not trying to make out with her anymore, though, so there's that.]

[ she will accept the clinging. this is just a clingy time for them right now. ]

We all -hic- do, and of the two of us, at least one -hic- has yet t be culled for it... The problem is when we b-b-b-blunder forward and repeat them again, creating some -hic- endless cycle of the same poorly thought out action for the -hic- rest of eternity.

[ she holds vriska a little tighter now ]

As an example, you really -hic- could do to listen more often. It may help you with this issue.

-hic-

[There's a long pause as Vriska tries to process that. Her brain just keeps trying to reject it like some kind of poison she's ingesting.

She tries to think of something to say about that, something Important about how she can't accept any of this because it goes against everything she's spent most of her life living up to, and even when she tries to stop that, she can only manage it for a few rushed conversations at a time before it's just too scary.]

...you're warm, Kanaya. It's nice. It's pretty nice.

[ she lets out a deep sigh...until it's interrupted with a hiccup ]

You weren't -hic-

You weren't even listening to me, were you?

I was totally listening!

[Now she's starting to sniffle again. And she'd just gotten over that, too.]

I was...I was listening. But it was scary. It was really kind of frightening!

[ kanaya pats her on the head ]

It will be for quite some -hic- time, I'm sure. It's difficult, after all, being an -hic- adolescent and growing to maturity.

[She leans into the patting a little. Why didn't she get more of this when she was little? Oh, right. Because her mother was a giant spider.]

And no one understands.

[ kanaya was taught by the best, and was lucky in that respect. grub-mom was awesome. ]

I'm beginning to -hic- believe that isn't entirely true. There are those who have -hic- lived through similar experiences, I've learned.
