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.

Yeah. I can set my whole body on fire and fly through the air. [It sounds ridiculous, and most might think it was a joke, but he was being serious.] It's really fun.

Your whole body...?

[That was... wow. Okay. Certainly something new. She poked a finger at one of the fingertips lit up. Yep. Real fire.]

Were you born like that?

I wish. That would have made High School way more fun than it already was. They would have had to have a fire safety seminar just about me.

[She chuckled, letting his hand go now that she knew he wasn't actually hurt or in trouble.]

Please. They would have had someone following you around with fire extinguishers.
