ɪ. ᴡᴇʟᴄᴏᴍᴇ

Congratulations, you've made it to the Good Harbor Beach September barbecue! With the weather cooling, but still pleasant enough, it's a pleasure to have a hangout involving ADI's residents and those who live at Bonnie's. There are still so many people who don't know one another, and many to strengthen bonds with, so the hours your dearest Wanda and Ren spend cooking and flipping and seasoning are nothing but rewarding! Seeing people enjoying themselves is great and it's motivating for them to keep doing these encounters every now and then.

On the menu, we have:
- Burgers;
- Steaks with jacked potato sides;
- Ribs;
- Zucchini-and-Pecorino fritters;
- Several different salads, including ovcharska;
- Aubergine kebabs with charred onion salsa;
- Salmon yakitori;
- Takoyaki;
- Cupcakes
- Apples and honey;
- Cherry dumplings;
- Sarmale filled with rice;
- Bundevara (pumpkin pie);


For drinks, there's a selection of alcohol, as well as coffee, water, tea, and a variety of sodas. Take in the nice view, jump on the ocean, sink your toes in the sand and enjoy yourselves. There aren't any usable tables, but there are several blankets on the floor for your perusal.

With bellies full, now it's when the real fun begins. There are a few decks of cards being passed around, as well as one of their single tables now organized to a beer-pong competition. Individually, games such as Never Have I Ever, as well as Truth or Dare can be seen, and those who wish to use their skills for entertaining are more than welcome to do so.

A little bonding here, a little drunken chatting there, this is your time to shine!

With those who have a curfew to worry about in mind, a bonfire is lit, and a few tents are set around the beach (may have to be shared). If anyone's got a nice story, now it's the time to share it, or perhaps if anyone can play an instrument, it's about time to break it out of its case. The night will be lively until the early hours of the morning, and of course, mindful of those who couldn't stay up this late.

The next morning, everyone will be properly thanked for their attendance and tupperwares will be distributed with leftovers for those who'd like to take some food home, the beach will be cleaned impeccably and everyone will go their own way, hopefully with smiles and a new sense of unity and connection from the amazing night they've just experienced.

"If they can help you to block out the urges or stop using your powers, then they can halt whatever this is in its tracks. What do you think not ending well looks like?" he asks.

[bossyboiler]

"My death," she is matter-of-fact about it. "Outside of ADI, who knows that I'm here? I have no documentation save for what they provided. I'm expendable and easy to get rid of."

[abrightboy]

"And if you kill somebody? Where does that land on the spectrum of good to bad endings?" he asks.

[bossyboiler]

"Will you please stop suggesting that? I'm not going to kill anyone. I'm not going to hurt anyone else."

[abrightboy]

"I hope that's true," he tells her. "I'd really like it to be true."

[bossyboiler]

"It is true," Kate replies because it has to be true. She wants it to be true and doesn't that mean something?

[abrightboy]

Well, he's not convinced, but he'll leave it at that.

"Good," he tells her, taking a bite of apple. "That's good."

[bossyboiler]

"Have you bothered anyone else with this?"

[abrightboy]

"Like who?" he asks curiously.

[bossyboiler]

Her response is immediate, "ADI."

[abrightboy]

"Why would I do that?" he asks, raising an eyebrow.

[bossyboiler]

"For the amount of shit you gave me that night, I thought you would have."

[abrightboy]

“I was trying to help you. Turning you in doesn’t really accomplish that. Maybe that will change if you become a real threat to people, but… you can still choose otherwise,” he tells her.

[bossyboiler]

Malcolm did help Kate, a little. She had been forced to think about what she had done. Kate believes that she won't scare again. She can resist it better now that the edge was taken off. However, believing in something doesn't make it true.

"Telling ADI would have given them a heads up if I start to harm people though." And just like that, they are back at where they started. Kate looks irritated, again. "And I've told you that I'm not. There is no way that I can prove it to you though.

[abrightboy]

“And I’ve told you I don’t see any point in telling them,” he reminds her, getting up from his seat. “Yet.” He tilts his head towards the campfire. “I think I see one of my roommates. I’ll talk to you later, okay?”

[bossyboiler]

"Okay," Kate replies. Their conversation is over and Kate feels that she has heard enough from him. "Take care."
