[quote=@Anarion]It's very refreshing and gives every sign that tonight will be very productive! (Is this too good to be true?)[/quote]

Today's going to be a great day, she's sure of it, she'll make sure of it. She's got time, she wants to take a look at the lighthouse (it was something she was going to draft a sketch of anyway, so might as well head in that direction) but she wants to finish this work first. A moment, though, to rescue the young lady from sunburn. Such a fate is terrible after all. And back to the work at hand, and she'll be good in about thirty minutes.

[quote=@Thanqol]And all about Fortitude, what was already a very hot day turns into a [i]scorcher[/i]. Within twenty minutes the town erupts in groans as the ramshackle old power grid overloads under the strain of trying to keep everything cool in the face of the Sun's apology. [/quote]

And twenty minutes later she's reminded why you never get your hopes up.

She sighs, glaring at the painting which is almost done, it's right there, but she just can't justify finishing it when the lighting changed and the paint's so hot it's runny. Another half completed thing held hostage by the whims of the natural world: she darts a glare up at the sun overhead, scowling as it shines brightly on, indifferent. She mutters under her breath as she packs up her tools into a tote, putting her shoes in there as well and striding through the surf, south. To the lighthouse, then, there's a big object providing shade there at least and something that might be sketchable, though the paint's all buggered for today.
