Here Comes the ___

What are you talking about? I are awesome! Oh no, I have a childish sense of humor and the dog I live with is far smarter and cleaner than I care to be, so what? Everyone is so judgy. Damn, and there I am being judgy now! Look what you made me do! 😵

If Resonance wants to push the boat, I'm sure the fishermen would love that, but it probably won't look that great on camera. I was hoping the cloud thing would be higher profile... Also, in all honesty I probably know one of the guys in the boat and they're asking about you right now while I'm trying to push the boat.

The storm begins to light up the sky, being in the water could be dangerous if much longer but you still got some time. You push the boat easily ahead of the rest, and break the current. It still has a little way to the dock but you have broken the current.

Solar
You land to a group of Police who are now enjoying the help of the paparazzi with sand bags. Good evening sir! A police officer yells to you as the wind begins to pick up.

Solar looks around and notices the paparazzi helping instead of fighting to get the best pictures of Res and Rip. The "power couple" would hate to see this, but I am impressed by it.

"Good evening, officer. A bit of squall we have here. How can we best be of service?"

We're just reinforcing the beach now sir! and trying to evacuate as much as possible. The cop looks almost like he's ready to cry when the rain starts.

"Sounds good. I'll take a look around and help where I can."

Solar steps away and then launches into the sky through the rain. He spots Res floating in the air and makes his way to her.

"The officers are not coordinated and don't have something for us to do specifically. Do you see anything?"

Solar is looking around for anything of notice as he speaks.

Resonance has been hovering up here in the wind for a while with nothing to do. She scans the horizon one last time, peers down into the water, and upon seeing nothing, turns her gaze upon Solar. Her eyes travel up and down his muscular form, her mouth curling into a smile as she takes in the sight of him.

I certainly do see something, she thinks to herself. To Solar, she says, "Why haven't we gone out yet, Solar?"

Clearly the lack of people in distress or threats in the area have left her mind free to wander onto decidedly unheroic topics.

Solar splutters in surprise. He reflexively admires Resonance, sees her noticing his lingering eyes and then blushes as he turns away.

"Aren't you and Rip a thing?"

Though, I can't say that I haven't considered it.

Solar tries to play off his embarrassment by continuing to look around for someone to help or something to investigate.

Riptide appears from nowhere, seemingly winded from pushing the boat in and racing back.
" He won't go out with you for the same reason he doesn't go out with me, Rez. Just look at the man, he's got standards! Or he's asexual, definitely one of those two... Or wait, maybe he's married! Or is committed to a sick family member and doesn't have time for romance. Maybe it's one of each. Look at that! Wow, there's all sorts of good reasons not to date you Rez! Something catches his eye out to sea... Are you serious! You can't see the huge eagle shaped cloud coming in on the stormfront! He turns to it and frames it with both hands so you can see it more clearly.

"Wait. What?! Rip...did you..." Solar is truly flummoxed by Riptide's casual mention of interest. He looks at Rip...looks at Res...continues to look at Res...then looks at the clouds. His mind suddenly clears and focuses on the strange shape coming their way.

"Now, that's interesting. So, shall we find out what that is?"

Resonance mutters under her breath, Who said anything about romance?" Then she shakes her head, giving Solar another once over, and adds, even more quietly, "...better not be asexual."

Her gaze moves to the cloud that Riptide had mentioned before, but it doesn't really strike her as anything other than an oddly shaped cloud. When Solar indicates his interest, she shakes her head.

"I don't know what you guys think you see, but sure... let's go look at a cloud." She shrugs and speeds off toward the vaguely bird-shaped cloud, shaking her head. Men.

Solar regains confidence now that he's not focused on the interest of both Rip and Res. Wait until Sera hears about this. She will never believe me!

He flies next to Resonance on their way to the cloud. "By the way, I'm not asexual." He looks back at Rip. "Or, into men." He focuses again on the task at hand.

"Ha!" Resonance jeers at Riptide. "Looks like you've got competition, baby. You know we're not exclusive."

She winks and flashes a smile at both of them, then speeds up, flying ahead, laughing to herself.

"Competition? I think you've forgotten just how much junk there is in your trunk, Rez" Riptide looks at Solar and makes a swirling gesture at one of his temples while going cross-eyed and jerking his thumb Resonance's direction. "As a voice of authority, I just wanted to warn Solar just what he might be getting into..." Despite Riptide's comment, he doesn't look at Solar the same 'meat market' way Resonance does, he just says awkward things sometimes.

Resonance turns to look at the two of them, flying backward directly at the oddly shaped cloud. She opens her mouth to offer a witty retort, but then seems to think better of it. Instead, she simply sticks out her tongue, as if she were a grade school child taunting a classmate, then turns and adds a burst of speed, shooting ahead again.

Thought the Cloud doesn't appear any different, you do spot a single person walking up the beach from the direction of the ocean.
