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.

Ugh, he hadn't meant for that heaviness to happen, for her smile to disappear like that. Shit. But if they were going to talk about it, now was the time, when so many other things were hanging overhead, so many other delicate topics were being discussed. Epsilon would have probably broached it if he was here, but he wasn't.

She was stuck with Tucker.

"Kind of fucks with your head when you put it that way." He frowned a little, before lying backwards, hands under his head and warm cement against his back. "You should go do something fun with them. Maybe take the tension off."

[brisance]

"Mm. Maybe." She's not sure how much she wants to do that, but she tries to think of something positive.

"... I got to apologize to CT. She tried to tell me something during the project and I didn't believe her. So I'm glad I got that chance, to see her."

[lovernotafighter]

CT. CT was... She was something. He smiled a little, different than the normal smirk of someone trying to get some and throwing out lines likes bands threw out guitar picks at the end of their set; there was an undertone of investment that didn't seem capable by someone like him.

"Yeah, she told me a little." Their first talk, when the desert was fucking him up, her story was fucking him up. "She's a pretty awesome chick. Glad you're getting your shit together."

You know, while she had the chance.

[brisance]

Oh, she catches that cute little smile. And she seizes upon a subject change like a lioness getting food for her cubs.

"So, you've met her. What do you think of her?" She leans in, elbowing him. "You know, besides awesome."
