It's been nice lately, and since something just happened I thought it would be a good idea to do something before the next disaster.

[ Definitely over stating things but it only took one word rather than 'crazy event that is crazy and inexplicable' ]

There's a great beach if you walk a little bit out from the mansion. It would be nice if we all got together and just did something - enjoy a day of doing something normal. [ Normal to her and anyone that would know what a beach party was. Obviously. Everyone else should come learn and have fun ]

Maybe bring a picnic and... whatever it is you'd want to do? There's probably enough room if anyone set up a game of something. [ Cliched beach volleyball anyone? ] We should enjoy doing something. And it'd be a nice way to get to know more of the people here - instead of running into them when something bad happens. I was thinking it could happen in the next few days?

( ooc; beach log over here!! everyone go crazy )

What a nice sentiment.

Thanks. I haven't really gotten together with that many people here. I thought that needed changing.

It's difficult to bond here sometimes. But a change of scenery is always nice.

And actually getting together in person. I don't do that enough. ( When she leaves her room, that is )

The journal is so simple, it's addictive.

It's really easy to find something out. But you should come to the party. It'll be nice to meet you.

[There's a long pause.]

There's a rare sentence...

A lot that happens here is pretty rare. ( Or can be. Things can change )

[Mostly it's just people rarely say it's nice to meet her, seeing as she is... well. But she quickly goes along with the subject.]

Such is the nature of Wonderland. If it made sense, it wouldn't be Wonderland.

I guess that's true. I don't think I'll stop hoping that one day it will make sense, though.

Hm. Nothing wrong with that.

Ah! What a wonderful idea! It sounds like a lot of fun. If you'd like, I could bring some food from the diner with me?

[It would definitely be a nice change after the last event. And every event before it.]

That would be great, thanks Tohru. Do you want any help bringing it down?

[Her first instinct is to say "No, that's okay, I can bring it down myself!" but...it really is a lot of food and it's eight floors down, plus the walk from the mansion to the beach...but she still can't bring herself to give an outright yes.]

That's really kind of you! I wouldn't want to inconvenience you at all though - I'm sure you'll be very busy with the party, right?

I figure if everyone's bringing their own stuff - blankets or a chair then there isn't that much to do? I need to walk down to the beach at some point, why not take some food?

( She could have a bag with a couple of spare blankets in it but getting the food down would be nice. Tohru's already being great by offering to bring them some )

U-Um, well. If you'd really like to and you wouldn't mind, I suppose that would be okay! Thank you very much, Quinn.

[It really is going to be a lot of food, after all.]

Let me know when you're ready to leave and I'll meet you in the diner. It might make it feel more like a party.

Okay. Oh! And Quinn - what kind of sandwiches do you like best? I'll make sure to make some.

[Since it's her party, there should definitely be food she likes there!]

( Aww, Tohru that's so sweet of you. She thinks for a minute )

I'm thinking ham. Thanks.

You're welcome! I'll make sure there are plenty of ham sandwiches then!

I'm going to go take some blankets to the beach and then I'll be there. If you're not done I can wait, or help.

Alright! That sounds like a good plan to me. I'll see you later then, okay?

Okay. And if you need anything getting just let me know.

_{[Squeezing in normal things before the next disaster... Yup, that sounds like Wonderland, all right. Actually, it sounds like life. If Quinn's learned to time her moments in between shit storms, she's practically a Wonderland veteran by now.

Adam isn't so much the person who joins in on a parade as he is the rain that ruins it, but Quinn's message is stirs his curiosity enough for him to venture a reply.

Besides, Quinn seems pretty normal and normal people need to stick together.]}

Hey. You're throwing a beach party? Is it spring break already?

I- don't actually know.

( It hadn't been anywhere near that when she'd been arrived, but she didn't know what it was supposed to be either )

The weather's nice enough either way.

Kidding. But hey, this is what summer's for.

_{[Or so he hears. He's only been living on the surface of the sun for the past few centuries.]}

And we should make the most of it. ( Especially when anything could happen next ) Hopefully this isn't it and it starts snowing next week.

_{[He's not an optimistic flower, and making the most of anything is looks like a pipe dream from where Adam's standing, but he's not about to argue with Quinn. If she's got a mind to do a little sunbathing on the beach, all the power to her.

People deserve normal.]}

Knock yourself out. No point worrying about what might happen all the time.

_{[He snorts in mild amusement at the mention of snow. He's had enough crazy adventures in the snow already. If they get another helping of it, does it count as his anniversary? A way to mark off a year? There hadn't been any changing seasons in Lucifer's Cage, nothing to tell time except his own longing to get out.

The idea of being in Wonderland for a full year doesn't make him feel like much of a veteran.]}

Time seems like it moves the same. Have you heard if anyone knows the months go by like normal? Looks that way.

I've not asked about it. ( Or been here long enough to really know. She'd only seen the lighter temperature months ) It's confusing trying to remember when it's supposed to be. It wasn't the same time of year when I got here.

Well, bet you've had other things on your mind.

_{[Which is to say he gets why she hadn't bothered to go on a fact-finding mission in all this time. It's enough just to stay afloat sometimes... and Wonderland is doubly hard on human beings who don't have special powers (or angels on their shoulders) to make life easier.

And then he pauses, having forgotten about people reporting how out of sync time is for them, like some people arriving in Wonderland in the winter when it'd been summer where they'd been. Downstairs, all twelve months looked the same. He'd taken a long time to even figure out what month it was supposed to be in Wonderland.]}

Right. I've heard that before. If we had a dollar for every time Wonderland didn't make sense...

You might be able to buy your freedom from the Queen?

( Get to go somewhere - anywhere that meant not being caught up in the events. Even home. not that she knew what he'd have to go back to )

An explanation for one thing would be nice.

Easier said than done, I'm guessing. _{[His tone is a little dry.]} I get the feeling it's not going to be that easy. Our room and board bill has got to be through the roof by now.

_{[But hey, what does he care? He'd been freeloading in Lucifer's Cage thanks to Sam, the ultimate shitty hostel. He'll happily upgrade to the mansion life until Wonderland sees fit to toss him out on his ass.

Living this way and getting the chance to talk about beach parties makes it particularly easy to ignore some of the extensive mental trauma he's lugging around...]}

Well... doubt we're gonna get that. Doing this thing before something weird happens again'll have to be good enough. Hey, it's not like you have to worry about the weather--it never gets bad.

_{[Maybe the weather mostly staying calm and moderate is Wonderland's way of making up for events.]}

Year long beach parties? ( She could get with that, it would be nice. Snow in the winter could be good though - silly snow fun brought people together ) Maybe next time it should be a barbeque.

_{[He makes a sound that could be a laugh, it's hard to tell.]}

It snows here, so unless you like the cold... But a barbeque, that sounds pretty good.

It snows but the weather doesn't get bad?

( Okay so snow wasn't always that awful. Maybe it just wasn't heavy snow )

Next month then, or after the next event. A small barbeque.

_{[She's right, maybe that hadn't come out right. He'd been thinking storms and unbearable temperatures, not the kind of mild stuff he'd been subjected to here.]}

Heh, yeah, that sounds bad, but as far as I know, it dumped snow on the ground a grand total of once and stayed like that the whole way through. Not that bad. No blizzards or Sasquatch invasions.

_{[Adam could just imagine Wonderland kicking them out of the mansion to survive in the middle of an ice storm. Hypothermia and death, fun.

He still sounds good-humored enough when he replies to her next comment.]}

Sounds cool.
