You're not on the beach!
You're on the lawn!
In front of a small house!
-he gives a thumbs up to Jean-
1.5 imperial gallons of tea were consumed during the writing of this post[—"Wha...?"—
-Opens her eyes and sits up-
"...Oh son of a bitch, come on!"
-Immediately pulls the towel off the ground and wraps it around her shoulders instead-
"I was on the beach ten minutes ago!"
"Eep."
Roof (Jean)
-...Was she on the beach before...?-
"Uh... S-Sorry...?"
-She feels bad for bothering Laura.-
Girl: (holds hands up defensively, revealing the book in her own hand) Hey, calm down - I wasn't trying to judge you. If you want to get good at writing, you gotta start somewhere, right?
"Hate this freakin' place sometimes..."
"...Yeah...yeah, you're right. Sorry. My name's Via."

Life's a beach ain't it?
1.5 imperial gallons of tea were consumed during the writing of this postGirl: Via, huh? Interesting name. Is that short for something?
"...That pun sucked."
"No, just...just Via. Via Lactea Chaaaaaaaaanyway...what's your name?"
Roof (Jean)
-Even Jean can't help but roll her eyes at that pun.-
"You might wanna work on your puns a little..."
Girl: (pause) Call me Isabella. That's a real pretty name you have, Via.
Hey, it isn't even my pun.
I saw it on a t-shirt.

-OK, correction:-
"Whoever made that t-shirt needs to work on their puns."
-Huh, this girl can be kind of snarky sometimes!-
"That shirt sucked."
-Laura pulls a jacket on over her swim suit-
"Damn it...I was gonna meet some friends later..."
"Heh, thanks...picked it myself..."
-Her eyes are...orange?-
Oh yeah, it was a terrible t-shirt.
-to Laura-
Well you're in luck because you can meet new friends!
Like me.
Well. Actually not me.
I'm not really a person that people consider a friend.
Too much baggage.

"Try me."
"Thaaaaaat's a long story."
Roof (Jean)
-Well, that is one good thing about being here... Meeting all sorts of people...-
-She looks over at Xenos with a raised brow.-
-'Too much baggage'...?-
Isabella: ...I got time. (Puts the book down on the coffee table and turns to face Via. The book's title can be easily seen: Arts and Trade of the Kievan Rus''.)

I mean.
It's in my name.
I'm Xenos, the destroyer of worlds and end of life.
But I am sparing Earth and humanity.
The world's not worth destroying when there's pizza.
1.5 imperial gallons of tea were consumed during the writing of this post"...Finally someone who gets it."
-What-
Roof (Jean)
-Jean just stares at Xenos.-
-He's... he's joking, right?-
-And then he hears Laura and just looks over at her, with the same dumbfounded expression.-
-She just keeps looking back and forth between them with that expression.-
"Uh..."
Isabella: (looks at Via, then at the book) Oh. Kievan Rus. You could say it was the precursor to the modern state of Russia.
-Xenos blinks for a moment-
-and gets the widest, happiest smile that he can have-
Yes!
You are the reason why I like humanity.
People like you. It's absolutely fantastic to meet you!
Oh it has been a WHILE since I met someone with this attitude. I almost thought it was only that pizza chef.
-to Jean-
I'm not joking, by the way.
I have destroyed planets, and caused extinction events for other alien species.

Roof (Jean)
-Jean gets frightened for a moment as Laura swatted her hand towards Xenos, but was relieved to find that he got away and got back on the roof.-
"T-Thanks..."
-Jean picks up her phone and starts looking it over...-
-...It seems fine! Awesome!-
-She exhales out of relief. Seriously, she has way too much stuff on this phone...-
-Wait, Xenos shouldn't say stuff like that!-
-...-
-...Too bad Jean doesn't really have enough nerve to say anything...-
