Right... Two suns?

[piteous]

Five moons.

[camena]

Well then if you had an ocean, the tides would be crazy.

[piteous]

Gravitational pulls and stuff, right? Our sand seas can be wild, but... I don't think they're easily influenced by our moons.

[ He puts on a matching sunhat. ]

Okay. Direct me. How do you become... "Summer vibes."

[camena]

A sand sea sounds cool... But I [ a weird pause ] like the ocean? [ WHY IS IT A QUESTION

anyway ]

We've got hats and shades, so I think that's about it. The other thing would be swimsuits, but—even if that was an option, uh, no?

Oh! Inner tubes and floaties! [ SHE IS RUMMAGING to find him a flamingo tube. ]

[piteous]

Youuu don't sound so confident. If I were the ocean, I'd have trust issues with that.

[ When she says swimsuits, Vash looks at himself who is very, very, very clothed. Like he has a lot of belts, so it is a very "i think i'm good" on that front, too. Too much of a hassle.

Since she's looking for floaties, he does the same? What he pulls out for her is a unicorn one. ]

What is this.

[camena]

[ just fully ignoring that first part ]

That's a unicorn. And I want that one.

[ but she'll trade him for the flamingo. ]

[piteous]

[ He will let her do that and let her escape. Taking the flamingo, he inspects it... ]

This is... A bird?

[camena]

[ bless ]

Yep! It's cute, right?

[piteous]

... I think?

[ He puts it on, holding it around his waist. ]

It does make me feel cute.

[camena]

[ she laughs and wiggles into the unicorn inner tube. yeah!!!! unicorn!!!! ]

Ready to take the picture?

[piteous]

As ready as I'll ever be.

[ he says while putting another pair of sunglasses on, but they're lifted up to push back his hair. Tries to get into posing, obvious indecisive about how to pose cause he has never summered. ]

Is this set on a timer or something...?

[camena]

Yeah, it's like... Here, I'll set it up. [ don't make me figure out the actual camera situation, but alex gets it all ready for them!

she just does a peace sign with one hand since the other is holding up her inner tube. ]

[piteous]

[ They probably have the most ridiculous photos because Vash is extremely dramatic in every single sense of the word. The poses... Immaculate and cursed.

They can have copies. ]

Maybe I went overboard.

[camena]

[ hehehe no they're perfect. ]

What? No! These are great...!

[piteous]

[ He laughs a bit. ]

Then we can keep these, then! But we need to add stickers to them, right?

[ He motions to the sticker sheets. ]

[camena]

Yeah, obviously.

[ she is looking through the stickers... searching for a cool sun with sunglasses. naturally. ]

Sooo. You don't have the beach. What sort of stuff do you do for fun?

[piteous]

[ He slaps on some polar bears cause he does not know these are not for summer. The polar bears are flat. ]

Sling some cans? Play ball... Worm catching. For adults, we obviously drink and party.

[camena]

[ that's fine polar bears are cute...... and flat......... ]

Teens drink and party too. [ just saying. ] But, wait, back up. Worm catching?

[piteous]

You drinking and partying, Alex? Next thing I know, you're going to ask for a gun.

[ Not that he's a cop or anything and this is all jokes. He adds... What... I guess these are tidal wave emoji stickers. ]

Worm catching—but I think the worms are different from the ones you know. The larvae are small, though I guess as big as a cat, and can fly, but they grow to be bigger than cities.

Kids usually catch the larvae.

[camena]

Iiii don't want a gun.

[ scary! ACTUALLY THE WORMS ARE SCARY TOO help. ]

Oh. uh. Yeah, where I'm from larvae and worms are like... [ she gestures with her fingers. a couple inches! ]

[piteous]

... I'm guessing that kids normally don't want guns where you come from?

[ SORRY HE'S FROM ANIME TEXAS. He hovers over to see the measurement, bumping shoulders. ]

That's cute! Worm larvae are... [ Puts the photos down and shows. Hm. ] Maybe worms are smaller than a cat. The one I saw here is massive.

[ the danmei cat is fat ]

[camena]

I don't know about want, but that's illegal. You have to be 18 to buy a gun, and they're not that common, anyway.

[ also wow she hates those measurements. is this why everyone has a gun where he's from? FOR WORMS? ]

... That's too big.

[piteous]

Culture shock...

[ EVERYTHING IS BIGGER IN TEXAS ]

The cool thing about worms is that they glow a beautiful light at night. It gives the illusion of a whole galaxy in the sky.

[camena]

Why are they in the sky? Wait, isn't there already an actual galaxy in the sky?
