A. TUESDAY RESIDENCE #28 - Meet the roomies

[ Alarms were just another technological caveat to living here Levi was forced to accept. Everything had an alarm: His alarm clock waking him up every morning at five; the beeping of the coffee machine when he made enough for himself and four other residences- three he hadn't even met due to his schedule; the incessant noise the fridge made when he left the door open too long. Day in and day out it was all obnoxious noise cleverly disguised as reminders.

Levi was going through his morning routine of making coffee and rearranging the fridge to correct the disarray five people create over the course of any given day. With the fridge put back into order Levi waited out the coffee machine by pulling the vacuum out of the small closet next to the pantry. It was now only six in the morning and well before any sane person would subject their roommates to the living room space being vacuumed. But that was Levi and he took his spring cleaning seriously. ]

B. WEDNESDAY-FRIDAY WILDCARD - Any prompt

[ Any location around Heropa. ]

C. SATURDAY PLAYALINDA BEACH - Accidental beach party

[ Everything was planned down to the letter since they first decided to see the ocean. Levi put what was left of his paycheck towards what he and Erwin deemed the necessities for any beach excursion: swim trunks, brightly colored and tarp-sized towels, even brighter swim trunks (to spot each other at a distance, Levi explained) a cooler for water, sunglasses, and a giant umbrella Levi nearly fell over himself twice trying to put up.

Sun baking through his thin white t-shirt Levi wore with his offensively yellow and orange swim trunks made appreciating the impossible beauty of this place a little difficult. Toes curling in the warm sand he must have stood on the same stretch of beach for the past half an hour just staring out at water without a horizon- rendered speechless by it. Actually going into the water was another story; he had no idea what salt water would feel like. And while confident in his own physical prowess he never went swimming let along in something with an unpredictable current.

Instead, Levi looked over at Erwin to make a comment about the shrieking of the gulls before he surrendered himself to gravity and fell back into the sand. It was a display of impulsiveness Levi didn't think himself capable of, but he also never thought he would see the ocean either. So why half-ass the experience? Feeling the sun on his face and listening to the waves of high tide rolling over the damp sand, Levi almost didn't care that laying splayed out on the shore was madcap behavior. ]

You look like a signal flare.

[ Faring no better with the sensation of his own skin suddenly several sizes too small for its wearer. Hand under the fringes of his wet bangs to keep the sun out of his eyes he watched Erwin crash into the breaker and waited for him to emerge. ]

I'm going back to shore. [ He pushed through the current until the tide was up to his thighs. Leaning over with his hands on his knees he felt the sun digging into his back. ]

I'm sure it will fade once we're indoors. [But it's starting to get uncomfortable and as much as he wants to stay out here for a bit, after a moment.

Only when Levi spoke up did Erwin turn around, nodding. He could feel the sweat rolling down the back of his neck, it would be all too easy to get dehydrated.]

Do we still have any water left?
