[Arrival GP] it’s summer, right?

June, Xavin decided, was a puzzling month. It still seemed like spring in some ways, but was very summer already in others. Among the ways that it was summer: less demand for hot drinks. And yes, she could do iced, but that tended to mean hauling ice to her coffee-cart territory and that got old fast.

Since it was arrival day, therefore, she was trying something new. She’d taken over part of the cafe (with a decentish view of the lobby) and set it up with blenders, fruits, and other things. Surely smoothies would be acceptable, and the cafe space meant not having to haul ice.

As a further acknowledgement of probable sun and warmth, Xavin ensured there were obvious stacks of towels near the more usual baskets of things for new arrivals. If there were any newcomers and she’d forgotten something, well... it would probably be all right eventually.

"No, absolutely not," Janet says. She has no idea why they are here, but she's positive it's not for that. "We are both who we are and there's no changing that."

At least not here, anyway. There were plenty of ways to give yourself powers in the Good Place, but this was definitely not the Good Place. Or the Bad Place, either. It wasn't even a Neutral Place.

He frowned just a little, but then the frown was replaced by one of Jason's smiles again. "Okay."

He jumped down off the bed - it was not very graceful, but at least he didn't fall flat on his face. "Hey, Janet? You're still my friend, right? Like even though Chidi and Tahani and Eleanor aren't here, we still got each others backs, right?"

"Of course," Janet says. "If you need something, just say something!"

"Like... if I needed a hug?" He gave her a smile and a look that said 'hugs are nice?'

"Sure!" Janet says brightly, able to understand with perfect clarity the completely unsaid request -- a skill that was unique to her particular Janet model.

She gives Jason a tight, albeit somewhat wooden hug.

"There," she pronounces, taking a step back. She looks at Jason, clearly awaiting his assessment.

He definitely liked it. He was still grinning ear-to-ear. "You're the best Janet!" He felt infinitely better that he was here with her.

"Wanna help me build a better fort?"

"If you'd like, I can just make you one," she says, smiling. "What kind of fort can I make you today?"

"Nah, the whole point of forts is building them. Come on, it's fun, I promise." He picked up a towel and held it out to her.

"Okay!" Janet says brightly, taking the towel into hand. "Like this?"

She stretches the towel out between the chair and the bed, then looks over at Jason for his approval.

"It's a start! Come on, I'll show you." Jason was confident in his towel-draping abilities and Janet's dopeness.
