Alex stopped right by the edge of the water and sighed heavily. She rolled her neck, then her shoulders, then she kicked a stone. It yelped in surprise as it hit the water and sank. Alex sighed again, then plopped on the ground with a flutter of her thin gray coat.
That was a fucking great idea, she thought snarkily. Now she's even more bored than she was before taking that "vacation". Welp, nothing left to do but drink.
She barely had time to reach inside of her interdimensional pockets for a bottle of whiskey, before a giant green car almost steamrolled her over, appearing seemingly out of nowhere. Alex ducked and rolled into the icy dark waters of the lake, cursing the entire time.
The jeep screeched to a halt, and three cackling people piled out.
Alex broke the surface and spit out water, glaring at the people with her best death stare.
"You better fucking run, 'cause if my whiskey is on the bottom of the lake, I will put you there too."
"Bring it, Saudare", sneered Mitra with a grin that was definitely too wide for his face.
"Hey, we're supposed to be here on vacation, right? So fucking behave yourselves." Tooki rolled his eyes, popping the trunk of the car, while Jora tried - and mostly failed - to fish Alex out of the lake without getting wet himself.
"Where's the fun in that?" Alex shook herself out like a dog, grinning almost as wide as Mitra when she managed to soake the former god.
"You're in luck, found it." Jora pushed a heavy glass bottle in Alex's hands. It was covered in mud and algae, but it didn't seem to stop Alex from immidiately drinking from it.
