Basement [Saturday Evening]

Bridge has heard about the pool. But he's never actually been *in* the pool. So he's decided to fix that. Armed with towels and a swimsuit, he's wandering the dorms, recruiting people to go swimming.

[ooc: open to those who know who they are]

After being recruited by Bridge, Molly quickly changed into her swimsuit, grabbed a towel and made her way down to the basement.

Having been recruited by Bridge, Callisto changed into her swimsuit and made her way down to the pool.

Rory (aka She Who Will Bum You Out If You Let Her) made her way down to the pool after being ordered to do so (http://rory--gilmore.livejournal.com/56965.html?thread=1495173#t1495173), clad in a bathing suit and a pair of board shorts and carying a light blue towel.

Xander, too, headed down to the pool, though he had only a vague idea of where it might actually be. Board shorts and a towel were also involved in his ensemble ~~despite icon that could not go unused~~ because he was not wearing the Sunnydale High Swim Team speedo in front of these people, no.

Bridge tosses his towels in a convenient corner and dives into the pool, staying underwater for a few moments before surfacing with a grin. "Come ooooon, you guys!"

Molly tossed her towel and hat in the same direction and jumped, feet first into the deep end. "Woo hoo!"

Rory wandered over to the side of the pool and sat at the edge, dangling her feet in the water.

Callisto, who, yes, was wearing an obnoxious pink tank as the top half of her swimmers, might have decided to push Rory into the pool.

Yay for flailing.

And sputtering.

And resignedly treading water.

"Mean," Rory told Callisto.

"I'm wearing pink, Rory," Callisto said as she dived into the pool. "I have to do something to maintain my reputation."

Xander dived in after tossing his towel aside, and surfaced near Rory and Callisto. "Hey, you two - I just sent you both an e-mail. My friend Willow finally shipped me some dirt on Professor Skeeter."

Callisto grinned a nasty grin. "The good stuff, I hope?"

"I dunno if there's anything that you guys can use, but apparently she's reduced to writing ads for how to make your wand grow, back in her home dimension," Xander said with an equally vicious grin. "Orrr... maybe I got that backwards, but since she doesn't really seem to care about journalistic accuracy, I;m not sure why we should."

Rory blinked water out of her eyes, raising an eyebrow. "Really, now? And she's...teaching. Who hires these people?"

"She probably agreed to work for free or something," Callisto shrugged. "It'd explain why she'd such a bitch."

Bridge is swimming underwater, when he notices something that looks... sort of like the filter for the pool, but not quite.

Curious, he pokes it with one foot.

And finds himself suddenly not in the pool at all.

The others might notice that he hasn't been up for air in a while.

"Where's Bridgey?" Rory asked, noticing he's missing.

"He was just here," Molly said, looking around. "I don't see him under the water. Could he have gotten out of the pool without us noticing?"

Callisto finally took a moment to stop grinning evilly. "I don't think so..."

"Well, he's kind of small, but not exactly small enough to get sucked down the drain," Xander said, swimming over to where he'd last seen Bridge.

Archie dove beneath the surface quickly and looked around, then surfaced again with a worried expression on his face. "He doesn't appear to be anywhere down there, and I know I didn't see him get out."

Bridge is... in a brightly-lit tunnel?

Well this is unexpected.

He tries to go back out the way he got in... with no luck. He really, really hopes there's a way out at the end of whereever this tunnel leads.

"Ok, that's weird, possibly of the bad variety."

Xander takes a deep breath, then dives underwater himself to look. Nothing that looks bad-weird except for the lack of Bridge. Swimming people-feet, check. Underwater lights, check. Everything else that looks like it belongs in a relatively normal pool, check. Weird-looking filter cover, ch-- huh.

He swims down to look at it, and reaches out to touch it with one hand.

Annnnnnnd suddenly not so much with the un-weird. Or with the pool-being-in.

Hearing- well, something- behind him, Bridge turns around... and sees Xander.

"Hey," Bridge says, giving a little wave. "Nice of you to drop in, dude."
