IN DEEP WATER
CARRO's PL: 100 || LEO's PL: 200,000 (NOT PRESENT) || TIANUM's PL: 7,000
The sun beat down on South City's local shoreline, basking the scattered civilians in its warm rays. The chill of autumn was approaching fast, and many were eager to get a few last tropical vacations in before the seasons prohibited it. Carro was not one of those people.
The high and mighty President of Earth lied on a sandy towel a ways away from the coast on his stomach, grumbling as he turned onto his side in a feeble attempt to get comfortable. He wore a pale blue wetsuit that was still untouched by the ocean waters. He stuck out like a sore thumb, his pale skin starkly contrasting the tanned hues of the other, much more avid beachgoers. "Come on, Carro, the water's fine!" A voice called out to him from the ocean nearby. His assistant and close friend, Tianum, had somehow managed to drag him out on this venture. He'd agreed to "go out and about" in a tired daze the day before, but a 'relaxing break' was not what he expected. "It is not fine," He corrected his friend with a growl. "I am NOT going into that freezing liquid, and that's final." Tianum rolled her eyes, her scaled arms folding. "You get used to it after a minute, y'know. You're going to miss out!"
Carro was... exceedingly stubborn. More so than usual. Tianum had seen him tirelessly working- she'd expected him to take a break or at least a celebratory lunch-out after his revival, but it was straight back to work for him. She didn't think she'd ever seen him sleep since. One way or another, his friend was determined to get at least a little weight off his back. Though judging by how he turned away from her to bury his face back into the book he was reading on the beachside, that was going to be a lot easier said than done. It was like the phrase "take a break" wasn't comprehensible to him sometimes. "...Do you at least want me to go and grab some lunch at the boardwalk?" Carro heard his stomach growl. He really had to get back to work, maybe he could work on some documents from his ZPhone, but... "...Yeah, sure." Something, anything to eat sounded good right about now.
Tianum sighed, thankful Carro was at least somewhat willing, quickly taking flight to hover out of the water and back to the shore. Glancing back after a few seconds to see the President quickly picking up his ZPhone when he assumed his draconic friend wasn't looking, she sighed in defeat. Someway she had to get him to relax for more than thirty seconds...

[ Thread's PL: 152,000 / Anti-Sense Active ]
It seemed like when the seasons were going back to their colder sides, people were eager to rush away and finally catch ssome of that sweet summer glory! That was valid for everyone, even Vangreth. The alien was a little sad to see summer go away here in South City, since even if he could essentially go to opposite sides of the planet and enjoy some more summer, this one place was the pinacle of what this season was all about! The sun shining, the beach and the earthlings running about and playing some strange games while laughing and living their best lives! In contrast, North City's summer was basically just wearing a lesser coat in the streets.
With all that was going on recently, the muko-jin decided that taking a whole day off at the beach before summer moved on to another part of the world was a great idea! Leaving his capsule house on some small island off the coasts of South City, he jumped in the ocean and swim/flew towards the crowded beach, fully decided to get a grab of those sweet summer days before they fade away.
The refreshing cold of the ocean surrounded him as he dove deep into the blue horizon.
Soon enough, he reached the beach and emerged as another out-of-place alien with his snow-white skin and strange patern, the sun did not seem to have that much of an effect on him, or at least a lasting one as he did notice once that his skin had darkened, only to be back to its pearl color the day after, most likely due to his regeneration ability kickin in while he slept.
A few heads turned to him when he arrived, some of them a little worried that he was there to cause some chaos, but the quick glance at his 'Satan City' swimming shorts and sunglasses made it pretty clear that he was there to enjoy the beach like anyone else, at least for now.
In the distance, Vangreth was quick to noticed a familiar shape, color and attitude... the president! While he had not heard of the little saiyan man in a long time after they initially met about his problem, the alien still held him in high regard, since he was the leader of this planet that had adopted him, and decided to pay him a little visit, since there did not seem to be any restriction about it.
Approached his spot, Vangreth would squat down to try and catch the saiyan's attention.
'' Hello mister President Carro sir! Isn't the beach a strange place to get some reading done? You look like you haven't seen the sun in a while too, from a distance you almost look like a small me!''
With this little joke, the pale man would chuckle a bit and sit, he assumed the saiyan would tell him if he was unwelcomed, and since he was not there on buisness, he figured an appointment was not necessary.
