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?

[artistwithasickness]

Attached. If it was the other way around, I'd still be a hermit.

[magicink]

I'm very glad you aren't a hermit then. Thank you for showing this to me.

[artistwithasickness]

You're welcome.

[She peels off her boots and socks, dropping her jacket over top of them and rolling up the cuffs of her pants to her knee.]

Last time I cam it was kind of crowded. I didn't get to enjoy it like I wanted too.

[magicink]

Want me to go walking the other direction to give you some alone time?

[artistwithasickness]

Two isn't a crowd, Julian. Plus, you're fun to talk to. Horizons are better to look at in pairs anyway.

[She smirked up at him as she finished rolling her pants legs and she started walking out into the surf. She stopped before she actually hit the water and looked back at him.]

Wanna see a trick?

[magicink]

Why thank you. I think you are too.

[He also removed his shoes and rolled up his jeans. He glances up as she talks to him. He expected some cool cartwheel.]

Definitely.
