Summary: Funtime Ocean/Beach Shenannigans!
Rating: G-PG

It's been a lot of hard work, but the New Feather Party is set up and ready to go! A make-shift canopy has been set up, underneath which are a few small tables covered with various foods, some made by Welcome Center staff(though people are encouraged to bring dishes of their own to share!) along with some small ice-filled coolers full of various drinks. There are also a few beach balls, some buckets full of water balloons and some small water pistols (All Pilouette could find were the basic kind; no pumps here!) scattered about for for a bit of fun in the hot weather.

((OOC: There are subthreads, but feel free to post your own top level comments as well!))

[Tenenbaum is looking out at the sea while walking, always a good combination and just avoids running into the girl.]

Ah, I am sorry.

[Unlike most people she is not dressed up, wearing tattered clothing. Yup she's a new one.]

[tearmeanewone]

[Elizabeth herself is looking out at the ocean as well, and doesn't realize she's about to be hit until the other woman stops in time.]

Oh, no, I wasn't paying attention either.

[She eyes the woman's clothing with a little frown.] Are you alright?

[mothergoose]

[She thinks she's still talking about running into her.]

Yes, I am fine.

I was just distracted by the ocean.

[tearmeanewone]

[That answers one question, though given Elizabeth was distracted by the ocean as well she figured it was something along those lines.]

Yes, it is beautiful, isn't it? [She's trying to be polite, of course, but she's also still curious about the clothing situation.] Did you run into something angry on the way here? There's a rip in your sleeve...

[mothergoose]

Hmm?

[She glances over at her sweater sleeve. Oh right.]

Oh, no. It's just falling apart. Have been meaning to stitch it up when I had the time... but always more important things coming up.

[The bottom of the sweater is also frayed and coming apart in one spot.]

[tearmeanewone]

[Wow... this sweater sure has had a number done on it. Elizabeth manages not to stare and looks back up at the woman.]

Have you been to the clothing shop in the village? I'm sure you could get a new one there. [This is a New Feather party--it's entirely possible this person is new and hasn't read the guide in the back of the journal.]

[mothergoose]

A new one?

[New clothing, what is this concept.]

Ah perhaps.

What sort of currency is used here?

[tearmeanewone]

[Currency....]

[This woman really is new, isn't she?]

None, everything is free. It takes a little getting used to, but everyone seems to manage alright. You... haven't been sleeping outside since you arrived, have you?

[mothergoose]

No, I have been staying with someone.

[tearmeanewone]

Ah, I see. Well, there isn't any currency here. If you wanted to live alone, you could do that without having to pay for your room. It's the same with clothing.

Unless that sweater has some... personal value. In which case mending it might be the best thing to do.

[mothergoose]

I believe I may do both.

Thank you.

[Oh right, manners when talking to people.]

I am Dr. Brigid Tenenbaum.
