The sun is shining and the weather is nice and toasty. Overly toasty one might argue, even. It's a great day to be laying around at the beach, so it's a good thing that that's where you've found yourself today, whether you'd made plans to be there or not. Bathing suit and sunscreen ready, you're going to get your tanning time on.

But with heat comes the expected side effects for a place like Proxima Gamma. While the cool water can sometimes slow the effects, the heated beaches and freshly popped flowers seem to have made getting close to someone else just seem like a really great idea. You can try to fight off the side effects much as you want, but the scientists like to believe everyone has a breaking point.

[Nana had gone probably a little too crazy, collecting seashells. She'd never been to the beach before and this place seemed to be giving her the opportunity to go all out and enjoy herself. She might get a little sunburned later but the cost seemed to outweigh the benefits.

Unfortunately for Dean, with her bucket of seashells, Nana was at a disadvantage when her bucket of seashells was large enough to obscure her view. As she walked by him, her sandal became caught on some sort of twig in the sand, startling her into tumbling forward in an ungraceful heap and resulting in several of her seashells spilling onto him in all their sandy seashell glory.]

Ah-!! [For a moment all she can do is lay there in embarrassment, still face planted in the sand, embarrassed out of her mind. Righting herself, she brushes the sand off of her skin.]

I'm so sorry!! I didn't drop the bucket on you did - [And of course she can't finish her sentence because it's painfully obvious she did drop the whole bucket onto him. Hopefully not on his head??? She's so sorry, Mr. Stranger-!!]

Jesus Christ. [Under any other circumstances Dean might've been a lot more irritated by getting a chest full of shells. They're not delicate when there's that many of them, but beach life wasn't routine for him either. Instead of shooting her any dirty looks Dean just stands up, pocketing the old tape player and the headphones like it wasn't ever there in the first place.]

It's okay. It's fine. UH- How the hell'd you come upon all these anyway?

[As far as he knew there weren't this many shells just sitting around for the picking on any beach back home. Maybe even the sea life was hopped up on the juice the place was providing.]
