The man stood up from his seat to give Greer a hand. He gave her a firm handshake.

"Well good afternoon Greer, how are you doing? The name's Akros."

Akros then realized something.
"Whoops sorry, i mistook you for a guy earlier. Apologies for that." he sweatdropped.

@33rdCenturyCaveman it's a sort of activity where you play a role of a character of your choice. In this case i and @Rodimus13 play the roles of our characters respectively to create a conversation and a bit of story.

Sure thing, just pretend you are Marie and enter the scene, have a conversation with our characters the way she would speak (like we did).

Akros looked up and saw a woman who spoke to him. He was kinda confused.

"Well i dunno where the powder room should be since i'm not from this town. But i don't think you'll find it here on this terrace."

Greer glanced at the map before looking back to the woman. "Nearest one is that shop over there. They'll make you buy something first though, but they have gum for like... 50 cents."

She glanced back to Akros. "And don't worry about it. I take after my dad a lot, so I'm kinda used to it. Not like you were being rude on purpose. Now that, I woulda slugged ya for." She put a fist into her other hand before laughing a bit.

The brown haired man laughed in union. A ordinary person would've been intimidated. However Akros has seen and experienced worse things in his distant past. He took another sip of his beer.

"Fair enough i suppose.
You were saying something about the beach? And a noodle shop?
Not that i know what these noodles are, they probably taste better than the meals i make" Akros jokingly said.

"Well i guess that solves things too." Akros replied.

Akros thinks to himself: I'm meeting all kinds of odd people today huh?

Having arrived in the middle of the night Zoltan was at last doing what he had dreamed of for more years than he could remember..he was taking a vacation. Others of his kind had mocked him for the very thought of a vacation, and it had taken a number of years and some painful burns to get the sun lotion strong enough to go out in the sunlight (not to mention it made him look a weird blue colour) but at last he was here and would not be spending the next two weeks as normal sleeping in a box during the day light hours.
Wearing his new yellow shorts and white shirt with the cool new shoes (apparently now called trainers) Zoltan stepped gingerly out of the shadows and into the daylight. he gasped a little expecting the usual searing pain and burst of fire, but NO it was fine and with his toothy smile he walked with a joyful step towards the beach taking in all around him.

Greer smiled as she started to lead Akros towards the shop. "Come on, I'm going to change anyway and then hit the water. But I can take you to the noodle shop. I'm just waiting..."

She stopped as her cell buzzed. She picked it up and looked at it, looking sad. "Aw, my brothers aren't coming. Oh well... I can still have some fun." She started picking up the pace. "Come on!"

Akros nodded and went along with Greer.
As they were passing the noodle shop he noticed
a blue-haired woman sitting in there, someone he knew. But not for all good reason.

"Oh no, don't tell me that slacker is on a holiday too." Akros grumbled. "She practically does nothing on normal days already, that lazy woman."

As he passed a small shop he noticed a stand of sun glasses and stopped to take a look at them, he spent quite a bit of time looking in the small mirror on the stand as for once (in over three hundred years) he could actually see his reflection due to his blue sun screen. he still looked young despite feeling so very old inside. Hiding his raw emotions he began trying on the sunglasses starting with a pair that looked like daises that made him chuckle.....

(I'm back, sorry. feeling unwell today.)

Greer walked by the guy trying on glasses when she saw the noodle shop. "Oh hey there it is. They have some amazing Ra...men?" She looked and saw the guy staring at someone else. "Uhhh ex girlfriend or something else?"

"Not really. I'd say she is somewhat of a close friend of mine, a very weird friend though..." Akros muttered.

Meanwhile in the ramen shop the blue-haired woman finished her ramen and paid for it. She wears a shirt with a flowerprint on it, a pair of jeans and sandals. She has cobalt-blue eyes.
Then, she overheard two people talking outside. To her surprise one of these people is a close friend of her. She rushes outside.

"Hey hey, long time no see Akros!" she smiled and laughed. Akros cringed.

having bought his sun glasses ( or should is say hypnotised the counter clerk in ringing them up) Zoltan headed outside. he had chosen a pair of mirror glasses as the irony of one of his kind wearing mirrors appealed to his sarcastic nature.

Outside the shop he saw three humans and wondered if they could answer a question he had...

"excuses me! do you know where I might find a drink i have heard of? it's called Bloody Mary"
"also might you know how much blood and how much Mary it has in it?"

Akros tried to look the strange man in the eye but failed because of his reflective shades. He was thinking before coming up with an answer.

"I dunno, try at the terrace over there, they might serve your drink there. Though i doubt they mixes someone named Mary in their drinks. Or blood for that matter".

"Now now Akros, that's not how you help a stranger!" The woman said. She pointed towards a bar to the right of the terrace.

"There's a cocktail bar over there, i'm sure you'll find your drink there!" she smiled. "I also recommend the Caipirinhas."
