Pool in the Basement [Early Morning]

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

There is no squid there is no squid there is no squid.

John opens his eyes, peers down into the pool...and there's still no squid. Whew.

Air pump in hand, John goes about inflating three inflatable rafts.

He's not really up to swimming but raft racing? Now that's cool.

John jumps in one of the rafts, grabs the paddles and starts rafting across the pool.

There is no squid there is no squid there is no squid.

[Open to all! Feel free to come raft racing!]

Callisto had decided to take an early morning swim. Scratching at the back of her neck she wandered down to the pool.

She raised an eyebrow at the sight of Crichton paddling a big yellow thing in the water. "Morning."

He waves at her with the paddle.

"Callisto!" He eyes her cautiously. "You're not gonna get naked again, are you?"

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"No, not unless your roomate is planning on showing up," Callisto grinned. "After all time I brought some clothes that it it wont matter if they'll get wet."

She cocked her head to the side. "What are you doing?"

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Rafting," he tells her and continues slowly paddling to the other side of the pool. "It's good exercise and it's not in the gym. Ever been rafting?"

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"Yes, and that doesn't look like any kind of raft I've ever seen."

John uses his paddle to flick water towards Callisto.

"Inflatable raft," he tells her and starts paddling away in case of retaliation. "Cheaper but durable."

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Callisto did not look like she's just had a very naughty idea. "Just excuse me for a moment while I get changed."

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Uh oh," he says under his breath and paddles quickly to the middle of the pool. It'd take her longer to get to him there.

Returning to the edge of the pool a short while later in clothes a touch more suitable for swimming, Callisto dived in and started swimming towards Crichton.

John starts paddling away.

"What're you doing?" As she approaches, John holds up the paddle to defend himself.

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Callisto simply duck-dived and started swimming underwater. A suspicious person might have thought she was planning to tip the raft over or something.

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Crap," John says and starts madly paddling over to the side, hoping to get to land before she could do anything bad. "Crapcrapcrapcrap."

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Callisto pushed up against the bottom of the raft. Of course, since she was underwater it was hard for her to tell if she was pushing in the right place to tip it.

"I hate you," John says just before he's tumbled out of his raft and into the water.

Cold! He hurriedly scrabbles to climb back into the raft.

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Callisto resurfaced, snickering, before climbing into the raft as well. "You're right, it is good exercise."

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Thank you so much for that," John says, shaking off some of the water. "I should tell Angel lies about you for this."

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"You're welcome," Callisto replied primly, then shook her head sending droplets flying everywhere. "Oh you would, would you? What kind of lies?"

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"That you have a massive, overwhelming crush on me," John says lightly. "And I'll tell both he and Aeryn that you've been coming on to me since the holidays."

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"Oh but John, that's not a lie," Callisto proclaimed. "I just can't hide my true feelings any longer. I've loved to ever since you dressed drag and dubbed yourself Johnina"

Callisto was not calculating how much effort it would be to tip the raft again. Because that would be wrong.

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"I never dressed up like a girl!" John shouts. "Has anyone ever told you, you look just like Widow Twanky?"

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"Sure you didn't, ~Johnina~," Callisto sing-songed. "Oh, you did not just go there."

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"I did," he says and makes a point to flick water at her on each paddle swing. "You've got her eyes and build."

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"No I don't," Callisto involuntarily looked down at herself. "She's built like a brick outhouse, and she's got blue. Blue!"

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"I always wondered where you got your thighs from..."

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

"That's it!" Callisto lunged at Crichton.
