It's summertime! Out with the snow and the dark, here come the sun and sea, watermelons and slushies, long lazy days, and all the things that make summer wonderful.

Along with a few other things.

Honestly, your character loves summer. How can they not? They don't mean to spoil the fun. They could've been having a grand old time right now, if it weren't for...

1. The heat! No kidding, hot in summer? Who would've thought. The AC broke and the fan just can't keep up. What to do? Why, complain, of course.

2. The bugs! EEK! It's cockroach season! Or possibly the invasion of the bloodsucking horde. Pick up a shoe and join the defending army.

3. Allergies! You know what's nice about the bare trees in winter? They're bare. Is it September yet?

4. Those meddling kids! Some of us don't get summer vacation no more, you little bastards. Stop partying at all hours!

5. The crowds! The beach was a lot nicer when you didn't have to share it with approximately twenty two billion other people. Some of them in wildly unflattering swimsuits.

6. That one unbearably cheerful friend who thinks summer is really just the best thing and they will prove it to you if they must shove a gallon of ice cream down your screaming mouth.

7. Or something else equally annoying and horrid, because fuck summer.

1 is good!!

[hinooo]

[I am glistening just a little with sweat, but happy happy all the same, it's a lovely day]

...they were out. I'm sorry!

[noisybird]

Ehh?

[My lip curls up in disgust, and I shift my legs to help change up the meager air flow around my body.]

Tch. Useless, aren't you? You promised me ice, you know.

[hinooo]

I know, I know, I'm sorry! What about some iced water? I can do that!

[noisybird]

It's not the same.

[My eyes drift to the window, and the little bit of sky I can see beyond it. The sun beats through it relentlessly, and the heat reaches me even here on my bunk.]

But I wouldn't say no.

[hinooo]

I'll get some for you. Then we can go for a walk!

[noisybird]

[He's already out the door when I realize what he just said.]

A what??

[The moment he returns I snatch the glass away from him and give him a scowl as I drink.]

Why the hell would I want to go for a walk?

[hinooo]

[wide eyed]

Sun's shining, and it's too hot in here?

[noisybird]

But if it's too hot in here, and the sun is shining out there, how is that going to be any better?

[hinooo]

It'll take your mind off it! And exercise is good for you, and you don't want to be cooped up in here all day.

[see, I am the epitome of cheerful logic]

[noisybird]

[what sort of logic does this moron function with?]

Tch. Fine. But only if we go somewhere and you buy me an ice. Understood?

[hinooo]

[PTSD goofy people person logic? :D?]

I'm sure we'll find somewhere. And we might be able to gather information, too! Everyone wins, Ankh.

[noisybird]

Right, whatever.

[swings down from the bunk and lands next to you on the floor]

Let's go.

[leads the way out the door]

[hinooo]

[a hand on your shoulder affectionately as I follow]

[noisybird]

[leads both of us out of the restaurant and into the street, but honestly doesn't know where to go from there]

Oi. Which way?

[it's just as hot as I thought it'd be, but there's a bit more air flow outside, at least]

[hinooo]

Let's go down to the water!

[noisybird]

Fine.

[starts walking in that direction]

What's got you so chipper today? Or does your usual stupid happy self defy even the scorching sun?

[hinooo]

I'm just in a good mood.

[strolling along, hands in my pockets, cheerful smiles to the people I know]

[noisybird]

Hmph.

[actively makes a point of ignoring anybody else we see on the way]

[my eyes occasionally swing up towards the sky for a moment before I drag them back down again, scowling at the dirt]
