The Cape Rouge, Port of Fandom, Thursday morning

[betterthanaplan]

Their anniversary vacation had been amazing. A little rough sometimes -- they all still had plenty of issues to accidentally trip over here and there -- but amazing. Exactly what they'd all needed.

But all good things must end, and so Duke, Octavia, and Lucifer arrived back in Fandom on a bright, sunny, and -- compared to Norway at least -- pleasant Thursday morning.

"Whelp," Duke said, looking out over the town from the deck of the Rouge. "Doesn't look like anything exploded while we were gone. Or if it did, they rebuilt it nice and fast."

Which was so much nicer than the alternative.

[for thems as came with him, and also open!]

"That has potential."

Assuming Duke didn't freak out that Haven would snatch him up the moment he left Fandom's waters.

"Just a suggestion," Lucifer said. "I'd rather not lose the Rouge in some kind of freak sea-monster incident."

"The sea monster has turned out to be very chill," Duke said. "I only saw it the one time."

[my_own_advocate]

"Did you now."

[betterthanaplan]

"Right after I first got here. Went swimming around the preserve side of the island and got quite a shock."

[my_own_advocate]

"Huh," Lucifer said. He glanced at Duke. "What did it look like, then?"

[betterthanaplan]

"You ever seen meta for Clash of the Titans?"

[my_own_advocate]

"Original or remake?"
