Five always claimed he was an alcoholic but I have hardly seen evidence to back up such claims.

Of course I’m not obligated, but I am interested. I’m rather fond of you and Luther.

You're probably a good influence. Or, hah, maybe this place is just less stressful than home.

I believe someone on his unit also asked him not to. He is kinder than the gruff he puts on.

What rooms haven’t you seen? We have a movie room, a dance hall, a beach and a planetarium to name a few.

And a drink or two wouldn’t hurt. I can make sure you don’t have too many.

Or we can sit around until you feel better? Haven't actually seen that much of your dorm, but I don't want you to feel like you gotta play host. I'm just here to be pretty and useless.

--What do you mean you've got a beach.

I think it is decided then.

And I do plan on relaxing once we find a venue. Do not worry about that. Your company is really all my mood needs.

[He bring two slices of cake and take them to the beach. It’s really cool sorry I can’t seem to find the description on mobile. But there is sand and the water and little cabanas. Emet gets an umbrella he stored near the entrance and a couple of buckets and heads towards the water.]

Let me guess. You’ve never made a sand castle either.

This is so cool. This is so cool! What the hell!

[ he's kicking off his shoes and running to the water ]

Whaaaaat!

[He will kick off his shoes and roll up his pants as well. He’ll sit just at the edge of the water under his umbrella and with his buckets and cake.]

Was it Yvette who decided this? Or Paloma? Either way it is a relaxing spot. The sky will even change with the day.

[He smiles when he sees him running to the water.]

And I do believe that is exactly the expression they were hoping to bring out in people.

[ SORRY HE'S BUSY BEING FASCINATED ]

Is this what the beach is actually like? That's so cool!

[ peers out at the horizon, standing in the shallows ]

This is so cool!

[He will get up and leave his shade to walk up next to him.]

Have you never been?

Maybe I just don't remember? But I don't think I have. I feel like I'd have less of a this is so cool what the fuck reaction if I'd been before.

You and your siblings are truly remarkable, and not from your abilities. There is a pure wonder you all have that burns ever so brightly when brought to the surface.

[He ruffles his hair a bit.]

Well, enjoy it to its fullest. I dare say your joy is infectious.

[ ???????? what does that even mean??? but also splashing a bit and spinning in place to kick up a small wave ]

Did Five have a reaction like this too?

[It wouldn’t be a compliment from him if it wasn’t at least somewhat cryptic.]

More subdued, but yes. Though I think he enjoys the pier on a lake over the beach.

[He makes a shooing motion at him.]

Go on. Get soaked. I have towels and bathrobes and we can dry your clothes. Unless you can’t swim.

I have no idea if I know how to--

Oh. Actually. I think I do! I learned something new today. Awesome! Something I probably learned from Dad that is actually useful!

[ HE'S GOING FOR IT ]

[He just lets him go. Worst case scenario puppeting will get him back safely to the shore.

Probably.]

[ HE CAN SWIM!!1 but he's also not really going in far enough that he has to! he mostly doesn't go in deeper than his hips, but he does eventually sit down in the water so that the water laps at his waist and chest, laughing brightly ]

Ah, man. This is awesome.

[He goes back to his shade and let's Klaus enjoy himself. He does take out his phone and take a picture.

Because there is something quite special, quite heartwarming, in watching a Hargreeves experience joy.]

[ he's going to pad back up to alex's umbrella after a bit, and dropping down to the sand next to him, far away enough that he won't get alex wet ]

I'm gonna have sand everywhere.

I assure you we have a tub for that and it is well worth it.

You never strayed far from the city, did you?

Nope. Never had the chance to? I mean, I'm pretty sure dad took us on missions or something, but it's not like we really got to explore or anything.

If it doesn't bring up too many painful memories, where do your memories and Five differ?

I mean, it's looking like... I can't say for sure, but I'm pretty sure we had the same childhood, right? But Five remembers me with some tattoos I don't have--which, I dunno. I was thinking maybe that me is from later than whenever I'm from? But then I got that memory back of being sick, and Five says it was in the apocalypse, but he also remembers us being dead. Sooo... I dunno.

[He leans back on his hands looking out at the water.]

Do you get flashes as well? Of being sick. The smells. The images of being in the apocalypse.

[ laces his fingers together and stares out at the horizon(?) (is it a horizon if it's a beach inside a building...?) ]

Nope. But I also barely remember the memory of the apocalypse I do have. Five got a better look, since he saw when I took it, but I was busy dealing with food poisoning. Haven't gotten another one since, so... Maybe we overthought things.

[He messes up his hair a little.]

Good. Hopefully, you never will. Or it won't burn and sear within your mind if it does.

[It's a horizon if they want it to be. It's all Hell magic, right?]

Five. Overthink things? Perish the thought.
