They'd come from their homes to the military base in Cape Canaveral, and that was where they'd agreed upon meeting one another. The plan from thereon in was simple. (Maybe too simple to start with—Josuke had originally under planned, after all—but thanks to some helpful 'intervention' things were on course and running smoothly.) A hop, skip, and a jump away was the beach, but in order to be sure they were appropriately distanced from military property, those who were able and willing were to visit the garage and borrow vehicles that could be used to usher their small group a little ways down the coastline. And by the time they had all arrived at the designated location—an end of the beach decorated with bits of driftwood and only a very light dappling of footprints—the sky was already beginning to darken. The bands of color that had once streaked the horizon like the layers of a sedimentary rock were now fading to a beautiful blue-grey monochrome; the rippling waves looked less like glimmering silk and more like impenetrable velvet; and the sun was barely a glowing sliver, minutes away from disappearing entirely behind the skyline. It was cool, but not cold, and as the fire was struck, as it reached brightly skyward, flames dancing and crackling, warmth soon began to fan outward. Around the bonfire were blankets and towels for people to sit on. There were snacks of all kinds: marshmallows, chocolate, graham crackers, chips, and hot dogs—and there were skewers with which to stab several of these foods. There was a volleyball, too, pairs of binoculars, someone's media player and headphones, and a small cooler full of drinks on ice: water, some selections of soda, and of course...the alcohol. In short, everything anyone calling themselves a 'teenager' might need to cut loose on a Saturday night.

"Kaneki it is then!"

Usagi shifted her position. Instead of sitting on her ankles, she brought her legs forward so she could sit pretzel-style on the sand. This was a much better position for a prolonged chat.

"Josuke kinda seems like a guy who needs a bit of help on the follow-through. I mean that in a nice way of course!" Smack-talking a new friend to their other friend was not on her bucket list.

"I've been here for a month now! What about you?"

Kaneki can't help but to chuckle at the comment. "It's true. But it's easier, right? More people helping make this a better party." if you can call it a party. But Ken smiles, a little more like a smirk. "And if it goes wrong, he can also share responsibility and it won't be only his fault". he is just teasing.

At the question, kaneki hums and he leans back a bit, supporting his body with his hands "For six months now. Time sure flies fast..."

[moon_buns]

"Six months!?"

Holy what now?? Usagi is never one to be good at hiding her emotions. Surprise is one of those feelings she very obviously experiences.

"You've been here for that long already!?"

[OOC: I'm sorry I disappeared! If this is too much of a back-tag for you, I understand!]

it's not a problem!

[anthropophagite]

Kaneki smiles, a bit awkwardly, but he doesn't mind her reaction that much. "Yeah. I mean, I have heard of people being here for over a year, so-"

six months doesn't sound that much then.

[moon_buns]

"Over a year…"

Usagi looked back to the fire, dumbfounded.

Somehow she figured maybe a few months of this and then she'd be able to go home. But a year... or more... away from home? What's the longest time someone has been here already? All of this was rather unsettling.

"Jeeze…" she looks back to Kaneki, forcing a smile, "I guess my hope to be home sooner rather than later was overly optimistic."
