betterthanaplan: (extra beachy)
There was eggnog coming out of the pipes. A fact that made it really hard to either shower or cook, which meant Duke was feeling unfit for the company of man or beast just now, and was pondering sailing out past the edge of Fandom waters just to be able to use his boat's plumbing like a normal person.

Instead, he was lounging on his deck, watching the water, and idly plucking out a song on his guitar.

Maybe he'd take the boat out a little further. Take her somewhere warm for the winter holiday. He wondered if he could convince Octavia and Lucifer to join him. And wondered when his escape plans had started including taking other people along for the ride.

(Always. Since day one. He'd just been turned down enough over the years that he'd learned to stop asking. . . .)

[expecting one, but can be open as well]
betterthanaplan: (shiny hair and concern)
The joys of sailing in from 2008, Duke was not dealing with a giant winter storm as he made his way down the coast from Maine. The weather had in fact been perfectly fine until he crossed into Fandom waters and the first of the white flakes hit the boat. He'd had some warning about this, sort of, thanks to Octavia's voicemail, but it still took him a couple minutes to work out that it really was powdered sugar falling from the sky instead of snow.

He managed to get his boat docked without getting too much of a contact sugar high, and paused on the deck for a few moments to just watch it drift in the glow of his string lights. It didn't sparkle quite the same way a good snowfall would, but it was pretty enough in its own way, and with the hood of his slicker pulled to protect his hair, he could let himself relax for a minute and just enjoy it.

A porg landed on the deck, liberally dusted and practically buzzing like a hummingbird as it rolled around in a small sugar drift. He was going to be cleaning up tiny sugar porg prints for days. Duke watched it for a moment, then turned his face back up towards the sky, tasting sugar on his lips.

"Home sweet Fandom."

This couldn't possibly be good for the fish.

[can be open, sure!]
