i — beach borg

[ Genji hasn't been to the beach proper in quite a long time. And between helping clear it out and trying to distract himself from the fact that his brother had vanished, it seemed like a good decision as any to head on down.

He's sitting under an umbrella, probably the most of his cybernetic prosthesis removed as he possibly can manage. His face is fully uncovered, as well as his neck (the extent of his jaw replacement is obvious now, jutting down into his throat) and his left shoulder and arm up to his elbow is noticeably still flesh. Scars are scattered on his still organic parts, and the cybernetic forearm and hand looks as if it was surgically added later instead of a result of his previous physical trauma. He's also got swim trunks and a black sleeveless shirt on, with three streaks of sunscreen on his cheeks reminiscent of a certain somebody.

Genji is taking the time to spray sunscreen on his still fleshy parts, because rubbing lotion when you've got metal and silicone hands and joints that can easily get gunked up his not enjoyable. Oh, he's also sitting in front of a curiously large and pink mecha of sorts.

If someone approaches him, he smiles. ] It is keeping an eye on me. [ A pause. ] And I am instructed to tell you 'Do Not Touch.'

ii — fireworks

[ Now fireworks are always fun! But only if you get a great view. And thankfully Genji has an uncanny ability to scale just about anything, so those pesky cliffs you might be thinking would be a great vantage point are no problem at all.

He easily climbs it, limbs lighting up green in the ever darkening sky, and reaches a metal hand down to you. ] Here, I will pull you up!

iii — date! (closed to shigeru)

[ Once the festivities for the time seem to have died down, he figures it's a good time to invite Shigeru out on his promised 'date.' It may have been a 'date' in the eyes of the auction, but Genji was just thinking of it as a reason to see someone he was starting to think of as a good friend.

Especially after that... interesting text conversation he'd had with that person. What did they say their name was, Dodger? Roger? Something? Hm. He definitely wants to bring it up... he worries that there might be people trying to take advantage of Shigeru's kind demeanor.

Genji decided to bring him to one of his favorite meditation spots, a beautiful serene place by the river. Just far enough from the main parts of the city that it wasn't loud, but not far enough to be dangerous. He's brought a little thermos of tea and some snacks and he figures they can just have a nice chat.

He gestures to it when they arrive. ] Is this all right?

ii — tea bros (closed to eichi)

[ Since seeing each other at the parade, Genji and Eichi had run into each other a few times to have tea at a local little cafe.

Genji is waiting for him at the table they have apparently claimed for their chats, but his expression is just slightly more melancholy than usual. He has come to the realization that his elder brother is absolutely gone, vanished without a word and a trace. Back through the portal, it seems.

Genji is... Genji doesn't quite know what to do or how to feel right then. But he doesn't plan on letting it sour his or his companion's mood. He smiles whenever Eichi approaches. ] Greetings.

Hell yeah, I'm gonna stream!

[ Her answer is immediate, enthusiastic, and very much D.Va. She attracted a great many people to her streams at home and it had been due, in no small part, to her attitude. For a top pro turned soldier in the front lines of a war, she still managed to be so positive and though she certainly had people who thought she was being too much or going about it immaturely, she had many more who appreciated her hopefulness. And those are the people she fights the hardest for.

... Things aren't quite the same, here, but she'll do her best anyway.

She keeps pushing sand around with her hand as she watches Genji write in it. ]

What should we build? A big fortress? Or should we dig a giant hole?!

[flowlikewater]

[ That makes Genji smile. ] I'm glad. I'm sure you'll be able to find an audience here.

[ He never saw many of D.Va's streams, only when he was just barely able to get some sort of connection on his phone during his travels. Something about her attitude made him smile, made him not feel quite so alone. He's glad that they've become friends while they're stuck here.

He snickers a little. ] I think a fortress would be good. Or maybe a barrier around your mech?

[bunnyhopped]

That would be a huge barrier. Fortress it is!

[ She shift a little in her spot so that she's on her knees, feet tucked beneath her as she starts making a more concerted effort to pile up some sand. They don't have any tools with them that would make this any easier, but Hana doesn't really care. ]

What should be like? One with a tall tower? Or just go with the flow?

[flowlikewater]

[ Genji has the feeling he's going to be shaking a lot of sand out of his hand joints this evening but he finds he doesn't much care.

He starts to scoop up some himself to add to the pile. ] I think going with the flow would be easier. Start with a big base and build up?

[ He attempted a few sand castles in his youth. It was always very hard to recreate the Shimada estate with sand. ]
