[That... worried him. Was he limited on his magic too? He could barely concentrate on her talk about the Saiyans as he was now anxious to get away and assess his power.]

Heh, monkey tails. That's uh... unique.

[artistwithasickness]

[He looked anxious, something she took in with a bit of amusement. Oh well, everyone adjusted differently. She had thought she transitioned just fine before it took her for a short hop from the crazy train.

Instead of pushing it, she arches an eyebrow and goes back to the pool table. The Temple was sink or swim. Maybe Bete Noire taught the kid how to swim.]

[magicink]

[You learn to survive, especially after you've died once. He had been kicked around a lot in Bete Noire, but so far he was still getting back up. He seems to snap out of it though.]

So what do people do around here all day?

[artistwithasickness]

Go insane with boredom? [She shrugs.] Since the temple rooms shift, no one really explores the same thing twice. It doesn't bother me that much, I keep busy, but other people are starting to beat their head into the walls I think.

[magicink]

Huh, well exploring does sound like fun. What sort of rooms have you discovered?

[artistwithasickness]

If I spent the time to list even half of them off, it'd take a while. Ball pit rooms, rooms full of rain, a beach, any kind of training room except the one that I need and there are so many flower gardens and courtyards.

I'm still looking for a forest room.

[magicink]

That would be awesome. So these room just have like a whole beach in them? Are they still the same dimensions of the room or does it expand?

[artistwithasickness]

Dude, the whole fucking beach. Cave systems and the water goes on forever. Proper landscapes, though the ones that I've been through that aren't endless like that still have a door at the other side leading right back into the halls.

[magicink]

Wow.

[Julian looks thoroughly impressed.]

Think we can still find it?

[artistwithasickness]

[She shrugged, finally looking back over at him.]

Yeah, probably. Wanna go?

[magicink]

Sure, when we're done with the game.

Have I been daydreaming on my turn again?

[artistwithasickness]

[She grins.]

You have. Just forfeit. We'll tally me a win and go see the ocean.

[magicink]

[He flushes a little.]

Sorry, I'm not used to playing this game sober. Plus you're distracting.

[artistwithasickness]

[She set her pool cue on the lit felt and smirked at him.]

It's fine, but no blaming me. What are you on?

[Her question held no judgment, no condensation nor opinion one way or the other.]

[magicink]

On? Nothing right now.

And I'm blaming you only because you're really fun to talk to.

[artistwithasickness]

[She'd miss heard him. Oops. She glanced at him disbelievingly.]

Thanks. Come on.

[She turns and heads out the door.]

[magicink]

[Julian frowns slightly wondering about that look and then follows.]

About every Wednesday a group of my friends and I hang out a bar and shoot pool. We tend to get pretty drunk. That's all I meant.

[artistwithasickness]

[She shakes her head as she leads them down a hallway.]

I misheard you. [She offers a small smile. She didn't mean anything by it.]

I've heard that, that getting fucked up either makes you fantastic at a game or makes you fail miserably.

[magicink]

Well, I'm not sure which is was. I could have been so fucked up I didn't know or care if I failed miserably.

[artistwithasickness]

I don't think I could ever do that. Be that fucked up on something. What if something happened?

[magicink]

Shit happens. It helps that I usually know the bar owner.

[artistwithasickness]

[Devi still couldn't get behind it, but then again it was like she'd lived in the demilitarized zone. She stops at a door and swings it open, stepping in and aside to let Julian in behind her.

She was right; it was the beach. They had maybe thirty minutes before the sun was down completely and had the run of it by themselves.]

As promised. An ocean.

[magicink]

Whoa...

[Julian stares at the beach. He aches to starts sensing what kind of magic this is, but he isn't ready to blow his cover. Still, ignoring the magic this place was magnificent.]

I've never seen the ocean.

[artistwithasickness]

[Devi walks past him, towards the shore line with her hands in her pockets and her trench coat flaring behind each step.]

It's the best place to take in horizons. At the end of things, I was on the Street by myself for three months. Most of my mornings or nights were spent at the beach it had.

[magicink]

Does that make you feel attached to this sort of thing or is it painful?
