Warnings/Notes|

Considering Tucker had been the first to visit Carolina's habitat, it was no surprise that the fact she had a water park based on the one they'd had back home was quickly disseminated around to the others from back home. It wasn't exactly the same - there was a longer lazy river in this one that circled around the apartment complex.

Once she'd returned from the little jaunt around the planets, Tucker had suggested that maybe she let the others visit the water park. And given what she'd been doing during her last mission? She was inclined to agree.

She wasn't throwing a party, she wanted that noted. There was not a grill in her habitat right now, and tofurkey or beef-flavored tofu wasn't the same. So - what passes for chips and dip is set out nearby. She did get a couple boxes of synthehol, and had managed to sway one of the bartenders into letting her have a bottle of actual, real whiskey. And she'd let the other freelancers know they could come by, and bring friends if they really wanted to.

Other than that, it was BYOB and food. She was just providing the entertainment. And the entertainment was the waterpark itself, complete with Carolina sitting on an inner tube, dressed in a swimsuit. She's temporarily lifted the lock she normally sets on her habitat so it won't stop anyone from coming inside.

She and Connie have talked since the hospital - and while things aren't perfect, they're okay. Less awkward than things with her and York.

So when Connie shows up, Carolina - buzzed - shoots her a big grin, walking over to meet her. She's found or stolen a large t shirt and tied it at the waist.

"She makes an appearance," she says to the other Freelancer, hesitating a moment before she slips her arm around her elbow. "Hi."

Connie's not exactly dressed for a pool party but she looks comfortable in her tanktop and leggings. Transitioning from her habdeck to Carolina's means her thick hoodie is much too warm here, hanging partially of a shoulder as she strolls across the grass to the concrete decks of the water park.

She quirks an eye at Carolina's grin, her mouth twitching with a smile in reply as Carolina links arms with her.

"Hey. You started early, huh?"

"Only a little," Carolina says, the pink of her cheeks belying how much a 'little' actually is. She's still walking, talking, and making sense, though, so - not drunk, in her book.

"Welcome to the habitat. Please don't judge the water park, I didn't design it."

Only a little, huh? From what Connie remembers that's still quite a considerable amount.

"Thanks for letting me in. And...I will withhold my judging of the water park until after I test the slides," she replies with a small grin, noting Carolina's swimsuit and the deck chair she'd risen from to greet her, "It's nice to see you taking it easy."

"Hard to not take it easy at a water park." And don't get her wrong - she'd definitely tried to, at first, but now, in Legion, she brought it with her so she might as well use it.

"C'mon, I'll show you around. Some of the guys are already here."

"All that's missing is a barbecue, but it's not the same with the Legion's rules about meat and all."

Giving the waterpark a quick glance, Connie kicks off her shoes so she can continue on barefoot.

"I should have brought my swimsuit."

"Look, they offered to get me big vegetables but it isn't the same, you're right."

Carolina gives a little laugh when Connie mentions needing a swimsuit. "The cool thing about it being my water park, is there's no rules about wearing swimsuits. I have some spare clothes if you wanna jump in."

"That's true," Connie grins, "Means you get to set the rules."

She tips her head and considers the offer, giving the pools, the lazy river and the slides a calculating look.

"Hmmm lets take a look at those slides first. The big one looks like fun."

"And you know how I feel about rules," Carolina says with a little grin - that is, they exist to get bent. When she looks at one of the slides, though, Carolina tugs her towards them.

"Absolutely. Blue one first."

"Mm-hmm."

Get bent is a good way to put it. More like Carolina to bend them over her knee and make them say uncle, but...Connie doesn't want to test how quickly Carolina could shove her into the water just yet.

"What do you think about all this super hero stuff so far?"

"I mean... it's super hero stuff. The things we used to read in comic books when we were a kid. Except it's just as horrible as my parents used to insinuate it really was."

Probably because they were real life heroes, for one of them. Maybe.

"The powers are kind of fun, I'm not gonna lie about that. I can walk through walls."

"Yeah...it's different when you're living it and not reading about it from a fan standpoint."

Connie still has nightmares from the Silent Horizon. And the techno-virus but she's not going to let her mind linger there long.

"Damn, that's pretty cool," and a little terrifying, if they were back on the MOI... "I've got limited teleportation and holographic projection. Way better than my armour, too."

She grins and gives a half shrug, "So, you know. Not counting that last mission I'm better at getting in and out of trouble."

"I can walk through walls and make myself super hard," Carolina says, almost with a straight face before she snorts a little.

"No, really, I can't be moved. I'm like a rock wall," she says. "But, that's interesting. You got stuff like your armor and I got nothing like it."
