Bonding

[kittened]

[Locked to Thea]
Felicity had been quietly watching both Oliver and Thea for quite awhile, not saying much but making her presence known all the same. Over the last few months they had been living together she noticed some things about Thea. She needed hugs like nobody's business and she needed some sort of constant in her life.

Right now, Felicity figured it was her and Oliver. She waited until Oliver was out of the room before approaching Thea's room. She knocked on the door twice, and then proceeded to push open the door.

"Hey, how about we do something fun... just us.... no icky boys," She asked with a grin.

[Locked to Oliver]

Felicity was kind of going a tad bit stir crazy on the ship. The jaunt to Pacifica had been wonderful, and she had come back feeling ridiculously happy about life with Oliver and the Enterprise in General. She was bound and determined that she was going to have a date night with her boyfriend, especially because of the month.

She strolled into their shared room. She raised an eyebrow at the cuddling kitties. "You and I need some time together.... just us. You have 3 choices.... Venice, Aspen, or the beach?"

[ota] Putting the 'out' in working out

[itmeanstruth]

Minoru was planning on working out in the holodeck, but as soon as they announced the ship was docking on Pacifica, he was on his way out. From the cargo bay if it got him there faster! He needed to be on a planet to absorb natural energy and he badly needed to recharge that seal.

Option A:
Unlike the last place the Enterprise docked, which was filled with mountains and exciting terrain to traverse, this wasn't all that interesting. He didn't like water and he certainly didn't like lounging around. But if anyone's up for exploring, Minoru is always happy to tag along. Perhaps a trip to the Submersible Research Institute would put him face to face with some sea snakes.

Option B.
The beaches are a lot more secluded at night - perfect for an after-dinner run or sparring session in the sand. As long as no one gets hurt, they won't get in trouble, right? Right.

Option C.
Minoru promised a few sparring matches, at least one of which would necessitate the holodeck. With natural energy flowing through his chakra pathways and a steady supply of it available until the ship takes off, he can use all his power without holding back!

The Witch Goes Exploring! (OTA for all options)

[radishearring]

When Luna got word of the upcoming Pacifica stop she was actually excited. Even now she was always up for exploring and whatever misadventures came up along the way. At the same time however she was still a teenager and well attractive men without shirts was icing on the cake.

(Option 1: Moon Frog Hunt)

Luna had her notebook in one hand as she stalked out one of many ponds, she remembered something her father had mentioned about the frogs and knew being around so much water would only up the chances of a sighting (and there was so many other creatures that live around water as well). Her wand however had been charmed into its usual chopstick mostly as a precaution but there was also a flower tucked into the teen's ponytail and radishes in her ears.

"So curious!" she was smiling now as a little frog hopped past her perch.

(Option 2: Beach Front)

At heart however Luna was still a teenage girl so she also had planned on some beach time to not just swim and enjoy the sun but to people watch (attractive men without shirts was just icing on the cake she decided) and learning a few new water sports. She had even gotten her hands on a tasteful two piece swimsuit (with magical help to cover her scars from the manor). But for the first time in weeks her heart was lighter, she could not explain it but Luna decided to just enjoy the break from her private pain.

"But now see if anyone would teach me to surf."

(Option 3: Submersible Research Institute)

The Ravenclaw in her however wanted to learn while having fun. So Luna signed up for a tour of the Submersible Research Institute. Sure she may not understand all of it but she could not pass up the chance to learn while having another adventure.

Sinthia rarely leaves the ship, honestly; she's lived most of her life indoors, and in cold climes, and beaches with bright sun and no walls are a little uncomfortably odd to her. It helps to know this about the girl, because she's currently standing in the sun with her (lightest) gray denim trousers rolled up to her calves, staring at the water lapping over her ankles as if she's incredibly suspicious of its motives.

When a wavelet laps a little too high and gets the roll of her jeans wet, she frowns expressively and simply lifts herself out of the water, although she's wobbly in the unfamiliar atmosphere. It will last, toes dripping excess drops into the ocean, until she's startled.

At which point you may have a wet eight-year-old on your hands. Good luck with that.

Pacifica

[redarrowqueen]

(Plotlocked: Oliver Queen)

Thea could not explain it but simply being off the ship was doing her some good mentally speaking. Was it actual sunlight or was it something else? No matter but she decided to just embrace it, maybe she was getting better after all?

So today she was on the beach when an idea hit, she leaned over to where her brother's towel was and made the suggestion. "We should go surfing or even wind surfing. Can't explain it but maybe getting off the ship is helping on some level and I'm wanting to embrace it somehow." she confessed.

(Plotlocked: Matt Murdock)

Once back onboard however Thea was on a mission: she was going to ask Matt on an actual (ok maybe more of an unofficial) date. Her idea was simple: she figured a picnic would be low key given him being somewhat new and a perfect way for them to talk and get to know each other better without certain things in the way (like her random dozing off). But she had tracked him down and waited for him to spot her first, this time she was in a much lighter place mentally and it showed. "Now to ask before I lose my nerve." she decided.

(OTA)

This was the happiest Thea had been in weeks.

She could not explain any of it but it was like things were making actual sense and it had been at least two days since any random dozing off in public or near bursts into tears. It was like something had dulled her inner pain but it was not what her old self would have done. "No matter, maybe its a good thing so going to embrace it while it lasts." not knowing the cause of her mood swing. So for now she was on the beach people watching and trying to decide what today's new sport would be (wearing board shorts and a bikini top). So feel free to chat her up!
