The Crows at the beach
Kaz:
Ultimate mum friend
Doesn't go near the water but finds a spot for all their stuff and guards it with his life
Has 7 individual water bottles, each named and coloured a different colour
The only time you will ever see him in a T-shirt
This man wears jeans to the beach and you can't change my mind
Has 5 towels and also a picnic blanket to sit on
Has individual snacks for each person in tupperware
Only ever gets up from his seat to chase Jesper up and down the beach with suncream
Will deny being a mum friend no matter what but everyone knows the truth
Inej:
Sits with her sunnies on a towel and reads a book
Has an appropriate amount of suncream on and never forgets to top up
Buys everyone ice creams at the end of the day
Plays volleyball and tennis with Jesper, Nina and Matthias
Wades in the shallows with Jesper and splashes him a lot
Tries to tease Kaz into building a sandcastle with her
Convinces Nina to put suncream on
Wears a cute top and shorts
Jesper:
Speedo. He wears a speedo (much to everyone's disappointment)
Refuses to wear suncream but after being chased all along the length and breadth of the beach by Kaz gives in
Teases Wylan on the car ride there and back and gets a towel in the face both times
Once he gets in the sea, you have to fish him out with a net
Plays volleyball and tennis with Inej, Nina and Matthias. He and Inej lose. Jesper's a sore loser
Decorates Wylan and Kuwei's sandcastles
Wylan:
Takes about 100 pictures of the beach, the sky, the sea, everything
Wears a T-shirt, swim shorts and sunnies
Will throw sand at anyone if provoked
Doesn't go in the water until Jesper drags him into the shallows. Then you can't get him out
Searches for rock pools with Kuwei
Finds and keeps any shiny rocks or shells or pieces of sea glass he finds
Has a very serious sandcastle-building competition with Kuwei
Tries to get Kaz to judge the competition and fails
Pushes Kuwei over in the shallows and then runs for his life
Nina:
Wears a bikini and one of those massive floppy hats
Will not put suncream on, she wants to tan
Immediately throws herself down on a towel to sunbathe and falls asleep
Buys everyone fish and chips at lunch
Plays loads of sports with Matthias, Inej and Jesper
Takes a load of beach selfies
Will swim but only if she's not swimming alone
Buys one of those ships in bottles you get from the seaside. She has seven already
Won't drink water unless cajoled into it
Tries and fails to get Matthias to recreate a scene from Titanic
Always complains about being hungry and wanting ice cream
Matthias:
Tried to wear jeans to the beach but was attacked by Nina and a pair of swimming trunks
Spends most of his time building a model of the Ice Court in the sand
Puts on way too much suncream
Complains about the heat to anyone who will listen (no one does)
Don't let him near the water, you'll lose him forever
Judges Wylan and Kuwei's sandcastle competition
Decides it's a draw (so he doesn't get murdered by either)
Absolutely thrashes Jesper at volleyball, tennis and pretty much any sport Jesper challenges him to
Tries to climb the rocks in his swimming trunks and nothing else
Convinces Nina to drink water
Kuwei:
Has swimming trunks with little flames on them
Goes searching in rock pools with Wylan
Snorkels for hours but gets too excited whenever he sees a fish and swallows a mouthful of water
Chases Wylan for half an hour after he pushed him in the shallows
Collects shells only to lose them before they go home
Talks to Wylan about all the fish he's seen. They try to identify them
Tries flirting with Jesper and gets pushed in the shallows (again) because of it
Builds too many sandcastles and then destroys them all on purpose, laughing at the chaos
Climbs one rock and declares himself King of the World

Do you ever think about how powerful Aditi was?
Like she taught Jesper how to shoot, but while he uses his powers unconsciously for it, she probably taught herself how to do it! She knew exactly what she was doing and knew how to do it.
And you know she literally went like this:
Aditi*to 5yo Jesper*: Jesper, do you know what this is?
Jesper*holding a gun and shining with excitement*: That’s a gun!
Aditi: Great! Now you have too shoot that bird over there.
Jesper: but I’ve never shoot anything before!
Aditi: Just follow your instincts and your soul. And then the world will tell you how to do it
Im pretty sure at some point Colm would be telling Jesper the story of how he and Aditi met and it would go like this:
Colm: so one day I was walking in the fields and I heard a bullet struck at the scarecrow right next to me. I fell on the ground trying to save myself from whoever it was, and then your mother appeared out of nowhere and started screaming at me that she could’ve shot me and how stupid I was for just walking like that in the fields. And that was the moment I fell in love.
Jesper: awww
Colm: and many years later she told me that she was actually aiming at me.
Jesper: aww- WAIT SHE WHAT?!
Wylan is laughing hysterically in the back. Kaz is trying not to laugh, but fails miserably.

subjects the crows would take for a levels
Kaz - Business, Economics, Law (so he can find its weaknesses and finesse the justice system even though everyone said it won’t help)
Inej - English language, Religious Studies (she’s a well cultured girlie), Geography (Wants to travel the world as well)
Jesper - Film Studies, Geography, Psychology (says he wants to learn why Kaz is they way he is)
Matthias - Religious Studies (Wants to learn more about other religions as his parents never taught him and inej told him it was good) History, PE (was pressured into it by his family)
Wylan - Chemistry (#stem), Physics (#stem), Music (gay) (He was hesitant to take it because his dad was being mean but everyone said he shouldn’t listen to j*n v*n e*k)
Nina - Politics (Zoya said she should so she did) Russian (Multi-lingual queen) Biology (#woman in stem)

how I think the crows would sleep
Kaz-straight plank on his back staring at the ceiling with just the sheet on him.
inej-Curled up in a ball with the covers up to her neck.
Jesper-When he's with wylan he gas one arm and one leg just hanging off the bed and the other leg is underneath the covers with his other arm around wylan, when he's not with wylan he's in a full star position.
Wylan-When he's with jesper he has his head on jespers chest with an arm on top hugging him, when he's not with jesper he's on his stomach with his head to one side and an arm straight underneath his pillow and one leg bent up.
Nina-When she's with Matthias she has her head and an arm on his chest curled up next to him cuddling, when she's not with him the covers are half off one arm above her head and the other out to the side with one leg up and the other actually underneath the covers.
Matthias-When he's with Nina he's of course cuddled up with her like I said before, but when he's not he's on his side with an arm under his pillow under his head with one leg kind of up.

I choose to believe each of the crows is allergic to something so, here's what I think they're allergic to
Kaz: Shellfish and it's bad
Inej: Light pollen allergy. Basically bad hay-fever
Jesper: So much. Fabric cleaner and dog hair and peanuts and one really specific fruit no one's heard of and coconut and pineapple bananas, for some reason. Piña Coladas are his worst enemy
Wylan: Cashews, the pretentious little fu-
Nina: Cats, much to her despair
Matthias: The sun No, he's allergic to dust and gluten-intolerant as well
Kuwei: Lactose intolerant. Also, can't have pretty much any kind of nut
