BEACH BAD, BEACH BAD [OPEN]

[sin-and-misery.livejournal.com]

To say Vader was out of his element was the understatement of the millennium. He'd taken refuge under a large umbrella and was seated in his his chair as though it were the Emperor's own throne. Under the pretense of meditating, he was keeping a three-foot radius of space around him sand-free.

His beach towel would stay immaculate until he got someone else's blood on it.

Ava's an aerokinetic; this isn't anything out of the ordinary, let alone bothersome, to her.

In response, Ava simply slaps her hair up into a ponytail and builds a fairly solid wall of air between herself and the mysterious breeze. If her wall just so happens to nudge some extra sand into Vader's sand-free space, well...

Vader frowned out at the sea, and the waves began to creepy closer...and closer...

Oh look, its started lapping at Ava's toes.

Ava glances at the incoming tide over her sunglasses, looking distinctly unimpressed by the water. She's almost positive that the tide doesn't come in during the space of five minutes... and she's almost certain that is the guy next to her can keep all the sand in his area away from himself at the beach, he could drag the tide in faster than usual. (The water rising especially high near Ava's towel was a very nice touch.)

... or she's decided to blame him anyway, which is much more likely.

"Oh, that's very mature!" Ava calls over to Vader, remaining resolutely on her towel. If staying in her spot meant she'd have to go for a swim rather than get a tan, so be it; Ava is not about to get out-stubborned by anyone.

"You have chosen and inopportune spot," Vader replied evenly. "What a shame."

A toothy shark-like creature began to flop about in the shallow water surrounding Ava's towel. However could it have gotten there?

Ava gives the alien shark an exasperated look-- really, she's going to have her beach time interrupted by some kind of dying fish-thing from another planet?-- then scoops it up in a bubble of air and tosses it back out to deeper waters somewhere to her left.

She is not moving. She's hovering above the water at this point, but she hasn't moved from her spot yet. (She'll just look at this... incident... as good practice.)

"Is it truly worth it?" Vader called form his chair, "the elements themselves seem to be conspiring against your presence here."

[sonotasuperhero.livejournal.com]

"Okay, first of all? Elements can't conspire, because they're not alive. It's either someone trying to screw with the water and whatever or just bad luck." Ava says, adjusting her ponytail and pointedly not looking at Vader. "And it doesn't really matter which of those two it is, because neither of 'em is going to make me move."

"It is a figure of speech," Vader went folded his hands across his stomach, adjusting his position.

"Only one of us can win, and I intend for it to be me."
