Sun, Sweat, it Might be Summer

Seeming pleased with her job of grooming the new person, the large mammal did a sort of jump so that Cammy was in view.  The red head ducked down again, but not out of view, and let her hand reach in front of Ai.  She just hoped he didn't yank on it to see how the whole... moving limb thing worked.  People did that.  Especially if she was far enough away.  "My... uh.  I'm Cammy.  She tried to ignore the other men around, even though she recognized the blond.  Still, men, therefore much more important to be wary.

Ai looked around to figure out what type of situation this called for. But then he figured it out, she wanted water. I mean, she had a camel and there was a bunch of sand. Humans couldn't digest salt water properly. It all made sense, at least to him. Because what was a handshake to a combat robot? So he reached to his stomach and opened up like a mini fridge. He stored things in the belly area, in this case drinks. "Here you are Cammy." Retrieving a water bottle and offering it. "Its not super cold but its not warm either."

His hair then followed by setting back into place. It was a sort of plastic, which means it would always take a certain shape.

Longcoat just throws up his hands in failure. "I give up. This city will never cease in confusing the hell out of me." Seeing how jittery Cammy was, he decides to stay back a bit, behind Ai. "Camel's don't need to drink very often, you do know that?"

She mumbled something that sounded like men aren't usually this nice what's going on and fidgeted from her place on her camel's back.  The red head was quick to practically chug it down though she kept her face averted so no one had to see the wreck that was her mouth.  Considering she hadn't had anything to drink, it was very convenient timing.  Hunching into herself, Cammy mumbled a very small thank you and self-consciously adjusted her face mask.

The girl blinked, looking down at her outfit with a frown before shrugging.  "I don't swim.  Too burnt."  Estelle gave a mighty huff and wriggled in place happily.  Ah, yes, warm sand, like home.  Cammy watched Ai carefully though, considering she slightly recognized him.  Venda too.


Abbie shrugged and turned to look at the robot.  "I'm here t' bronze some.  But I wanted t' talk to Beanie here for a while more."

Beanie observed the banter between Abbie and the robotic Ai curiously. She asked herself deep, thoughtful questions such as "why do robots just rise from the sand nowadays?" and "why is this one just here?" It seemed that Abbie could get along with it well enough, though, and that was a good indicator to her. More or less. With Ai's sudden declaration of sandcastle building being a good thing to do, she shrugged, and looked at Abbie.

"I'm going to go make sure my food doesn't burn, and then let's make a sand something or other. A tomb, maybe. We can bury someone in it." She suggested with a little playful wink, and then bounded off to go check on her grill.

In reality, he just didn't care. Humans were fragile and he grew to accept that. Plus it didn't bother him as looks were something that only affected humans. He was only interested in attention, so long as he had that he was happy.

But now Ai stood in front of the ocean, he stared into it for a while before walking in. Eventually he disappeared and remain underwater for a while. But then he returned and he wasn't alone. He found a slab of rock, squared enough to use as a base. Really it was just a bunker that had long been drowned by the ocean. But he didn't know that, so don't tell him.

Ai returned it to the beach and dragged it far enough to not touch the water. He then began to clean it from years of age. He was making a human sized sand mini castle. Why? It was the human thing to do. And it took this machine very little to actually get it set up. "Aha!" He exclaimed when done, now he had a mini castle to hang out in. Because for one, he didn't tan. And two, he was trying to fit in.
