1st mission ☀ fun in the sun

[Reno's one of the hardest working women in Edge, and lately it seems like there's been nothing but work in her life, especially since the city got trashed by those freaks. So when she dreams tonight, her mind drifts away to somewhere quite different: the sunny shores of Costa del Sol--not the most exciting place, usually, but a far cry from the gray skies and grayer buildings of the city.]

#1:
[Miles of pure, untouched, sandy coastline--so tempting to mar it with beer bottles and cigarettes, which is exactly what Reno has done, putting out all her cigarettes in the sand and leaving the green and golden-brown bottles strewn around her, gleaming in the sun. She herself is stretched out on a towel, wearing a black bikini, sunglasses on her face. She's twisted one of her bikini straps around to form a makeshift holster for her Electro-Mag Rod. Because this is a dream, there's no need to worry about the redhead's nemesis: sunburn. She could lie out here all day without turning so much as pink. Lounging beside her is another woman, but at some point she gets up and wanders off. Reno grunts and lets her go, lighting another cigarette and slipping it between her lips. She's sure Rude'll be back later.]

#2:
[There's a party on the shore: a bonfire, people singing and dancing. Reno isn't exactly attending. Instead, she's slinking around in the dark, setting charges in the sand. Once she's done her work, and the festivities are surrounded, she leaves the revelers behind. When she gets some distance between herself and the party, she turns back, just in time to see the explosives go off and the sand go up. And to hear the people start screaming. She grins.]

#3:
[Now Reno, still in her bikini, has engaged in a heated bout of fisticuffs with a large (and suspiciously attractive) young man. She has a black eye and her fists are bloodied, but she clearly is enjoying herself, and the man is in much worse shape. He's covered in bruises, and his nose is bleeding, but she shows no sign of relenting.]

[[OOC: Feel free to encounter Reno at any point during her dream.]]

And if I do?

[And if he rejects her? If he laughs?

No. She's done pretending to be nice. He will adore her

She'll make him.]


What do I get out of it?

[Despite the halfhearted protest, she stands up and heads that direction. Now that she looks, she can see his features are only similar to that person's. A moment later, the man in question is chatting her up with evident interest.

It's something she already knows isn't real anyway.]

[She seems to hit it off with the strange guy; one might even call him entranced, the way he fawns over her. (Whoever said brainwashing was wrong again? When it gives her what she wants?) She basks in the attention, though of course it grows stale after awhile.

She ends up wandering back to Reno.]


In the end, it wasn't that bad. [For a short while. For no expectations. For nothing real.]

[She might let Reno in on her secrets - might. (Is it any wonder this girl will use different charm magic in another dream?)]

Let's see...

[She eyes the crowd, and picks a guy standing by himself, either the loner type or the type who thinks he's too good for anyone. Whichever he is, this should be a good challenge.]

Get him to buy you a drink.

[Reno's definitely more outgoing; even as she is now, Ami can't help a quick feeling of surprise (or is it excitement? She isn't sure she wants to indulge a guy like that, but the idea of being that confident and free is so appealing).

But the deal was a drink, and Ami surreptitiously glances that way every now and then to make sure of it.

The guy who comes to hit on
Ami is shot down with a few cold words.]

[She raises her own glass as if in a toast.]

Should I congratulate you? [She takes a sip, glancing down at her reflection in the liquid. To tell the truth, she's a lot more comfortable with her drink than with the kissing. Which is why she hasn't done any herself, preferring the role of a tease.]

[Ami's not looking for action, just reaction. It can be considered a win all around.]

This is just the same night as any night, isn't it? [People drinking, meeting, possibly leaving together; she knows that.]

I want something different.
