( Bless, Peter taught her how to use the network but not how to filter privately, so everyone gets to see. She'd be sorry if she had any shame, but...she doesn't. At least not for this. )

Hey Dolphin Boy, meet at the Porter in Heropa on Saturday around half past five? I wanted to go a bit later, but I also don't want to risk missing the last bus to get back to the Porter when we've finished, so hopefully the beach won't be too busy at that hour.

dolphin boy
that a superhero name?

[justaddh2o]

Sort of? Not really, bit more of me ribbing him.

[the_horror]

damn, coulda been a good superhero name
you meant this for just dolphin boy, huh

[justaddh2o]

Maybe I can talk him into it.

Yeah, but I don't have his number to text him, so you all have to see it. Sorry.

[the_horror]

Will he take it is the question
so, adding filters to the list of things to show you

[justaddh2o]

Is that a challenge?

That would be good, thanks.

Well now everybody knows our plans, so any assassins who want to kill us are salivating.

Kidding. That sounds fine. I forgot you have to take the bus; I usually just Port over and fly. I'd say we should rent a car, but they won't rent to me, so we'll have to wait until I buy one.

[justaddh2o]

Let them salivate. They'll be sorry they tried to ruin my swim, I can promise you that.

Sorry, I didn't have your number to send you a text. But yeah, I can't fly and I don't know how to drive, so I can't rent one, either. If it's easier for you to meet me at the beach, that's fine. I don't mind the bus on my own if you'd rather not.

[hatestrashcans]

Oho, Mermaid Girl putting up her dukes.

It's cool. You should be able to set things to private through the network, but I'm not embarrassed by being Dolphin Boy. Everybody else is stuck as Human Boy, and how stupid is that? The bus is fine, I should probably learn them anyway, and it will be nostalgic.

[justaddh2o]

Sure am. I can get feisty if I need to.

That would be really boring, you're right. You'll have to show me, then. I've never needed a bus, so I've actually never been on one. I know it's probably not exciting at all, but I'm a little interested to see what it's like.

[hatestrashcans]

Good, because I 100% will hide behind you. Fair warning.

Wait, you've never been on a bus? I thought you said you were from Australia, not Mars.

Bus? BUS? You do know your housemate is the most handsome portal-creating imPort on Earth, yes?

[justaddh2o]

Really? Which one of you can do that?

( Come on, he had to know she was going to give him a hard time on that. He's met her. )

[leatherboots]

Miss Chadwick, you really should invest in some decent spectacles, I worry for your eyesight!

[justaddh2o]

Ah, you're talking about you, then? You wouldn't mind opening a portal closer to the beach for me, then? Does it stay or how does that work...?

[leatherboots]

It won't stay open, no. I suppose you'll have to message me when you want to return.

I only accept payment in favours, fair warning.

Everybody has better powers than me. :( :( :(

[leatherboots]

Bad luck. I hope you make up for it in other areas.

[hatestrashcans]

Well, shapeshifting is great for making money, so there's that.

[leatherboots]

[ Hello. ]

How so?

Should a dolphin be on a bus? I wonder if he might roll out of the seats.

text;

[justaddh2o]

I reckon he'll stay a human until we're in the water, but I don't think he's going to take the bus with me anyway, as it turns out.

[bridalrose]

Ah. So it's a transformation he undergoes. That's very interesting.

Was he born a human or a dolphin?

[justaddh2o]

Yeah, he said he's a shapeshifter.

Presumably human since he can do more than dolphin, he said. I dunno him very well, yet.

[bridalrose]

And you're going to the ocean? To swim, maybe?

... Is that wise?
