Welcome to Gaia! ::

Gir shoved at the sand as if he could move all of it by force and suddenly found himself in it up to his elbows. "Oh, some creeple are jerks and try to eat him or something and he talks to one of them, I think, but I can't see it and who cares he's boring. What hot creeple does Norrrrieeeee think about? Evan thinks Norrrrerererie is a hot creeple but don't tell her I said that 'cause he likes her more than the ghouls he just does the things in the bed with even though he wants to do that with her too. Maybe not with pie though. Pie is a weird food too!"

Evan could absolutely imagine people running in fear from Nora lest she talk at them--oh, the horror. He stopped when she did, confused. He followed her gaze out to the ocean, but didn't see anything other than the endless ocean. "What's up?" He asked, switching just like that into work mode, scanning for threats and prepared to react accordingly. This was Deus, after all, and no one could ever afford to be incautious.

Evan startled at Bea's screech, caught somewhere between alarm and outright horror as he parsed what she was saying. Gir was going to be in so much trouble.

Not that Gir cared at the moment--or ever, really. He just nodded, smug and sage, as Bea shouted his partner's secrets to the world. He didn't think it was anything to be ashamed of, but he also didn't see a problem with running around naked and randomly licking people, either, so he was hardly the best judge of absolutely anything. He seemed to be in good company with Bea, though. "Okay!" Gir agreed eagerly. Maybe if Bea saw that Evan liked Nora more than he liked her, she would like him more, and then they could all live happily ever after except for the part where he and Bea were stuck in other peoples' heads most of the time. "How do we do that? They're not like us, you know," Gir said. "They have, like--like personal bubbles or something, I don't know, Evan is always telling me to respect boundaries but I don't see boundaries around other creeple unless they're invisible and so that shouldn't count!"

Evan's attention swung back to Nora as she mentioned seeing a tentacle, and suddenly being out on the beach by themselves with their weapons in no state to do their jobs was sounding like a bad idea. "We kind of are," he admitted. "There are still Titans out there, and someone mentioned something about mermaids. Wouldn't be surprised to find, like, giant killer sharktopi out there either." This was definitely one of those welcome to Deus kind of situations.

He couldn't hear their weapons anymore, but it seemed like the damage had already been done. "Nothing," he replied quickly, flushing as he started making his way down the beach towards Gir and Bea, as much to get away from Nora's questions as to keep a better eye on the pair. "We should probably start heading back. If whatever's in the water decides to come out, we're pretty much defenseless out here."
