In contrast to the Dead Coast, Sa'fir Coast is jokingly referred to as the world's largest pepper deposit because of its black sand beaches. They attract tourists, who can enjoy the tropical landscape of Barakka without facing its harsh environments. (+2 Endurance)

Needing Rice (DeadAlice, Leander & I)

Postby Sarah » 03/02/2015 12:17 AM

The coast was oddly calm. The sun was setting and various shades of orange and pink smeared across the darkening sky. High tide had been reached but the sounds of the crashing waves were faint as if they were the type of waves that lapped at the shore of a lake. The smell of salt and sea creatures was heavy in the air though. It was a constant reminder that the ocean did in fact still exist somewhere out there in the sand. The season of tourists never really left but there were more and more people at the beach every day. Splashing in the water and soaking up the warmth of the big sun. Night was fast approaching and only couples remained to watch the colors of day fade.


    Marma ↑
From her stilted wooden home Marma watched the people walk up and down the shore. Her arms were crossed and she leaned casually in her door frame. Her home wasn’t the prettiest, but it was right on the beach and she loved it. Her home wasn’t run down or old either. The wood walls were sturdy and her roof had actually just been re-done. In the past Marma had found herself in a financially well-off situation and made her long-time dream come true. She had always feared and admired the ocean and so she had always wanted to live near it. It had been a rough few years as she worked with an assortment of people to make sure her dream came true. She shivered beneath her thin jacket and turned to go back inside. Unfortunately she got cold easily and once the sun went down the sand released its warmth almost instantly, so once the pretty colors of the sunset were gone she had no reason to stick around and freeze her fingers off. She’d have to wear warmer clothing in order to stick around and watch the stars.

A soft yawn escaped her mouth as she closed the door behind her.  Marma took off her salt sticky jacket and sat with her legs crossed on her couch. Any minute now she was expecting her visitors to arrive.

Maurice had the window down and his feet sticking out of it resting them on the side mirror. He absorbed the nice warm sun before it set behind the beautiful ocean and black beaches. He let out an uncomfortable sigh as he tried moving, the size of Bruce (their trusty mini coupe) sometimes got in the way of his lanky body and right now the seat belt was being troublesome. He had pushed it under his arm but it still was finding ways to piss him off. He was fumbling with it and attempted to pull it completely behind him. He however would not take it off for anything, safety first. Maurice could tell his movements and anxiousness were upsetting Helen who was doing a fabulous job of driving and not attacking him yet. It wasn't his fault they were going and visiting his sister. He hadn't seen her in a long ass time, like Jesus years.

Two and a half hours and 12 seat positions later they rolled up to the beach house. Maurice excitedly hopped out of Brucey and completely forgetting their luggage, ran up to the door and continuously rang the doorbell until it opened. He threw his arms around Marma while yelling sissy at the top of his lungs.

Hellen was extremely tired, she slowly got out of the driver’s seat and stretched her arms toward the sky. A huge yawn escaped her mouth and she felt a small crack in her shoulders. For how long the drive was Hellen regretted using Bronze, she wished that she had taken Raz’s offer about using his black truck. The amount of legroom would have been nice for this road-trip. Hellen turned toward Marma’s beach house and already saw Maurice up on the porch with his sister, Hellen sighed and her eyelids went slightly down in exhaustion. Hellen closed her door and walked to the back of Bronze were all the luggage was stored. Hellen again sighed at all the bags Maurice brought with him, his large briefcases were loaded with random things he probably didn’t need to bring but, was too excited to listen to reason. Hellen began grabbing the bags one by one and stuffed them into her arms.

From the door her house opened to a comfortable living space with a kitchen and dining room in the background. there were two doors on the left side and a hallway to the right. The house was the perfect size for a family of four but only Marma lived there. there was even stairs that led to an upper floor which had its own living room, bedroom and bathroom. It wasn’t the best house for a beach, but it was the house she wanted. Big enough for her to have a way to escape when she was feeling claustrophobic. Sometimes she didn’t even sleep in the same bed for weeks. She was relaxing on the couch with her eyes closed when she heard the sounds of people approaching. Then the sound of someone slamming her doorbell over and over and over and over again. Startled she jumped up and after another heartbeat of horrible doorbell music she opened the door.

“Heya,” Marma said almost being knocked over by her brother. After a moment of shock she hugged him back. It had been christmas, about four months ago, since she had last seen them. Of course she knew Maurice felt like it had been much longer than that. When she saw Hellen struggling with the bags she pushed away from her brother and shot him a glare. “How could you?! Leaving the poor lady to break her back on all your junk!” she exclaimed. “Well, at least come inside. I can show you where you’ll be sleeping,” Marma sighed and returned to the house.

Maurice traveled through the house after reluctantly letting go of his sister. He flopped onto the couch ignoring her rambling and stretched his body. Being in the cramped car made all his joints stiff.

He cracked his neck and yawned “I think I’ll just sleep here tonight,” another yawn escaped his mouth “I’m too lazy to move any farther."

He rolled over to get more comfortable and took his glasses off. He dropped them on the ground while mumbling something about no one stepping on them before falling into a deep sleep.

When Hellen stepped onto the pouch carrying several bags at once she felt instant relief. She walked into the beach house that was bigger than expected. Hellen set the bags neatly on the floor next to the door. Then, closed the door quietly behind her. She looked around at the surroundings. She looked at the seashell painting hanging above the dining room table. Hellen looked through the window, the sun was gone and the sound of the ocean crashing against the sand filled the air and the slight smell of sea salt. She saw Maurice on the couch sleeping. Hellen sat on the floor next to the couch waited for few minutes, but before she knew it, she had fallen asleep.

Marma looked at the two of them. Sleeping on her floor... She frowned and her eyebrows furrowed in concern and incredulity. Why? Her home wasn't small, they had seen it from the outside. "GET UP RIGHT NOW!" she shouted. For a moment she had thought she was dreaming. Who just enters someones house and sleeps on the floor? Ridiculous, absolutely insane. There was no way in a trillion years that she would allow this to happen, hell even all of her beds had clean sheets and blankets on them. "You are not allowed to sleep anywhere but in a bed," she continued. Marma was willing to resort to physical violence if they didn't get up soon.

Maurice's eyes flung open to the sound of a suddenly loud noise. He blinked a couple of times to bring them into focus as his mind attempted to remember where he was. Oh yeah his sisters! His eyebrows creased in confusion, what in the world was that horrid pain in his back and why in the heavens was he on the ground?

He attempted to roll over but realized that was a little difficult due to his legs being squashed by Hellen who he guessed had decided to sleep there. Maurice attempted to shoved her off and then he reached behind him to find the source of his pain which was his now cracked glasses. He sighed out of frustration, dear god! That was his fourth pair in the last two months.

Hellen had been jolted awake by Maurice on the ground in pain of breaking his glasses under his weight. Hellen watched Maurice's face change and held back a laugh. He always seems to break his glasses in such an odd way. Hellen got up and found the bags she left on the floor, she grabbed her's and waited to be led to a room somewhere in the house. Hellen's bag were thankfully light weight compared to Maurice's luggage.

"Nerds," Marma mumbled. "There are plenty of rooms to choose from," she said happily. "There's one right there," she pointed to a door across the room. "There are also three rooms down this way," she said moving towards the hallway. "The upstairs room is mine and all the doors have locks if your worried about that," she assured them.

Maurice mumbled and grumbled and dragged his feet into the bedroom down the hall.

"Marma I hope you have a spare pair of glasses for me in the morning." He opened the door and flopped on the bed and tossed and turned until he was satisfied with the position he was in. He called back out into the hallway, "Hellen can you get my bags! They're heavy!" He dragged out the word 'heavy' in his whinny voice before drifting off to bed not caring if Hellen would get his bags or not.

Hellen took the third bedroom that was a room away from Maurice. She looked at the small room that had enough room for a full size bed, two nightstands that were on both sides of the beds and a empty dresser. Hellen frowned at Maurice's requested and answered back irritated, "No, I will not carry them to you. I'm not your slave. Plus, I'm just as tried as you are." She set down her bags on top of the dresser. She got in the bed quietly and fell asleep.
