If anyone's free, I could use some company on the beach this afternoon.

( He doesn't actually want to enjoy the beach. It's an attempt to further explore and expand on the growing archive he's making on the city and its current residents. Might as well add on some sort of attempt at intimacy or good deeds while he's at it. )

( it's really too bad for bruce, because kara does want to explore the beach. and also because the other bruce wayne is like, clark's pessimistic pen pal buddy. he's practically her grumpy uncle. so this bruce wayne? probably also a grumpy uncle figure, even if she doesn't know it yet. )

the beach sounds great!
i could definitely use some time in the sun :)

[frightknight]

( It will be different for him. He doesn't have the closest relationship with the Kara of his own world, and she's much less... cheerful. )

Most people do. Some might more than others.

( Like a Kryptonian. )

What time would work best for you?

[advena]

i'm free all afternoon!

( she may already be in the process of changing into her swimsuit. )

i wonder if there's a firepit at the beach here
it would be really fun to have a bonfire
we could make s'mores!

[frightknight]

The more appropriate question, then, is how fast can you be ready?

( Good. Saves him having to wait. )

There's one way to find out.
S'mores sound like a plan.

( How long has it been since he did something normal like make s'mores?

Too long. )

[advena]

pretty fast :)
i bet a whole bag of marshmallows i can beat you there

( unless he's cheating. which he might be. )

[frightknight]

You're on.
​
( You can't trust a bat, Kara.

Especially when he's already there. )​

wait
hold up
ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT YOU ACTUALLY GO OUTSIDE WHEN THE SUN'S OUT???

[frightknight]

Turns out moonlight doesn't do much for your complexion.

( He hates you. )

[speedforcer]

make sure you wear sunscreen
wouldn't want you to burn the first time you see daylight

[don't lie. you love him really, bruce]

[frightknight]

Want to put sunscreen on my back?

( We'll see. )

[speedforcer]

i don't get physical on a first date
what kind of a person do you think i am??

[frightknight]

You'll hug me, but you won't help prevent sun cancer? Seems selfish of you.

[speedforcer]

in case you've forgotten
YOU HAVEN'T LET ME HUG YOU YET
so your complaints mean nothing!!

[frightknight]

It must have slipped my mind.

( He isn't hugging you, Barry. )

[speedforcer]

then i guess i'll just have to remind you
WITH A HUG

I've never actually been to a beach. Well--not a beach like this.

[frightknight]

What type of beach are you familiar with?

( Don't mind Bruce, attentively taking notes. )

[depressiveoptimist]

The british kind. Cold.

[He never made it to Eudio's beach.]

[frightknight]

​​I'd call those miserable, not a beach.

[depressiveoptimist]

Well they have the sand and ocean parts of a beach, so I think they are technically beaches---but you are right, they are miserable.

Is there any reason you want to go to this beach? Or just to enjoy it?

[frightknight]

Just to enjoy it. Care to join me?

( He's a lying liar who lies, Kieren. )

[depressiveoptimist]

I would like that very much, thank you.

[Luckily Kieren is very used to those!]

[frightknight]

You're welcome.

I'll meet you there at 3. How does that sound?

( Good. He'd hate to blind side him. )

I didn't think your complexion was beach-ready.
Or is it just another distraction

[ private text ] this punk

[frightknight]

I'm not sure I should tell you, Mr. Kent.

You might report it to the locals and ruin my nefarious plans.

[elscion]

Didn't I tell you?
I'm done writing puff pieces. [And the only thing worth reporting on the public identity of one B. Wayne is... well, puff.]

[frightknight]

Reassuring.

Are you going to join me or not, Clark?

[elscion]

I haven't had any better offers today.
What time should we meet? I'll bring you a parasol.
