W1 : MONDAY

[situationship]

[ here they are... on the cult animal crossing island... He pats her head. ]

Maybe we should be worried about a lot of things, but I'm glad to explore a new area.

[sootprints]

[ he pats her head... and it's actually clean! he does not get a soot-covered hand this time. ]

Me, too.

[ gazing out at the island scenery... ]

... It's very bright.

[situationship]

[ He blinks and looks at the sunset. ]

More light than you usually get?

[sootprints]

[ I MISSED THAT but actually it's fine i'll run with it, because ]

... The island I came from has a dark cloud of smoke that's always hanging over it.

[situationship]

[ it is okay it is monday and we can assume in general she has gotten a lot of light across the time here, during the days that are light out. ]

Ooooooh. Well! How do you feel about the change of pace?

[sootprints]

... I like it. I've always wanted to see new places.

[situationship]

Then we should use up all the time to check out this place in case it disappears.

[ He has decided. ]

Where to!

[sootprints]

How about... the beach?

[situationship]

[ It doesn't take long to get to the beach... The waters are likely beautiful despite how creepy this place is. ]

Usually, you'd bury someone for fun here, but the sand isn't warm... Being buried under cold sand is just torture.

[sootprints]

But it's okay if it's warm?

[situationship]

Warm feels nice, doesn't it? Cold only feels nice when it's hot.

[sootprints]

... I guess so.

[ she takes off a glove and kneels down to pick up some sand and feel it slip between her fingers. ]

What else do you do on the beach?

[situationship]

Go swimming, play sports, sunbathe... [ Hmmm. Hands on hips. ] Some of it isn't as fun to do when it's at sunset, but we can try building stuff with sand.

[sootprints]

Oh, like working with clay! I make little shapes like that sometimes, to pass the time.

[situationship]

[ Points at her. ]

Exactly. What should we build?

[ He's genuinely excited. ]

[sootprints]

I usually build little sootmen...

... Is that too plain?

[situationship]

Depends on what those are, but who am I to start you?

[ He's going to go gather.... some wet sand. ]

[sootprints]

[ she kneels over the sand, scoops up a handful, and rolls it into a smooth sphere. then she sets it down, makes another sphere, and puts it on top.

it's a little snowman. but in sand. ]

They're like this...

[situationship]

[ Crouching down, he watches quietly. ]

Ooooh, like snowmen? But made of soot?

[sootprints]

[ she nods. like that! ]
