The Pool Saturday Afternoon

[the4thsister.livejournal.com]

Paige was still trying to get over the topless photo of 'English' Peter apparently she had a knack for missing all the fun.

Having worked out that sitting in her room trying to work out if there was a spell to go back in time and exactly how much personal gain it would involve if there was, was not a good idea she headed to the pool.

((open for interaction or your swimming pool needs, I think it's in the basement but I forget))

Peter was still exploring the dorms fully clothed zomg when he happened upon the apparent pool.

"Why in the world would there be a pool in a basement?" he asked himself before noticing Paige. He grinned at her and gave a quick bow, "how goes it, good lady?"

[the4thsister.livejournal.com]

well of course he's fully clothed, Paige isn't that lucky!

Ever wondered what a flailing, swimming half-witch looks like? Cos Peter's about to find out as she looks up mid stroke, proceeds to forget what she was doing and almost drown, luckly her whitelighter instincts kick in and she orbs to the surface quickly. "I, it, um... it was going okay until that happened," she splutters, while kicking mentally kicking herself for freaking out quite so badly.

((now with 100% more making sense))

Peter was moving to dive into the water to pull Paige back up when she orbed to the surface. Instead he sat on the side of the pool, legs dangling over the edge and tried really, really hard not to laugh. "I'm so sorry," he said. "Should have waited until you had finished your lap at least. You can feel free to yell at me when you're done swimming."

"Well unless you came here specifically to try and drown me I'll forgive you for my complete lack of co-ordination," she replied swimming over to where he was and ignoring the fact he clearly found her little display amusing, which she was sure it would have been if it hadn't been happening to her.

"You um could join me, you know just in case I forget how to swim again and the pretty blue lights don't save me."

((just in case you don't know her canon her orbing involves a sort of blue haze, probably should have said that before))

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"I can't think of a reason why I would want to do that so I thank you for your forgiveness," Peter winked. "Do you think forgetting how to swim again is a danger? I certainly couldn't be responsible for that."

[the4thsister.livejournal.com]

Paige grinned, "well definitely, I could drown and if that happened my sisters'd get mad and thye'd probably blame you for letting it happen and then...well general badness, so it's probably the safest idea for the both of us if you get in." she explained

((yeah works for me))

"I make it a policy to never argue with impeccable logic and certainly not to incur the wrath of sisters so I suppose you are absolutely correct." Peter stood up and, taking off his tunic, threw it onto one of the chairs. He removed his boots and belt and dove into the water over Paige's head.

Emerging again, he shook the hair out of his eyes and sputtered, "it's warm!"

[the4thsister.livejournal.com]

Paige in no way thought 'score!' No really she didn't, nor did she check out his body, because she would never do such a thing, she also didn't think how he looked even better in the flesh, apart from the fact she totally did all those things.

This would explain why she didn't reply for a few moments, "probably something to do with the faculty not wanting us to die this early in the summer, I think they rely on the various attacks for that anyway, less chance of being sued."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Treading water, Peter said, "I'm sure you're right. Just didn't expect it - been a long time since I've been in a pool." He started to swim a lazy sidestroke. "Come on then, let's swim."

[the4thsister.livejournal.com]

"Yeah I guess they didn't have heated pools in medieval times." she replied swimming to the side of him.

"I was talking to Maia about you yesterday, she's from the 40s too," she said when she was at his side, "she doesn't really remember it though, I thought maybe...you come over sometime, talk to her, well us about it, unless you don't really remember it either?"

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"Not so much. More used to swimming in the ocean at this point. It seems funny not to have a current."

"I'd be happy to do so though anything I know beyond 1940 has been from histories I've read since I got here. Is Maia British?"

[the4thsister.livejournal.com]

She shook her head gently, so as not to splash him, "American, but she knows you you are, I guess she's not all that fussy about what country you can tell her about, she just wants to know, it's all a little complicated, she's kinda from now as well."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"I'll certainly tell what I can. But it's good she's not particularly fussy, there were quite a few differences between the countries at the time. For one, Britain was at war." Peter grimaced.

Reaching the edge of the pool, Peter looked at Paige and smiled. "Race you back?"

Tim wandered out in the direction of the pool, his face not looking happy. He wasn't entirely aware of what direction he was going in. The library was closed. It was possible the bookstore had something relevent, he could check there. He supposed there was bound to be someone on this island who might be able to help, but he wasn't sure who to ask. maybe luna? He could of course call home, but the phone card was only for emergencies. and he wasn't sure yet that this qualified.

Paige looked up when she saw the new guy and smiled from her position in the pool, "hey you're new right? I'm Paige, Paige Matthews," she said swimming over to the side.

[grand-fallguy.livejournal.com]

Even a worried Champion of the Fae takes notice when a hot girl in a swimsuit talks to him. "Huh? Oh, hi, yeah, I'm Tim Desmond." *awkward smile* How'd he wind up by the pool?

[the4thsister.livejournal.com]

Paige continued to smile standing on the bottom of the pool, "Pleased to meet you, so are you gonna jump in or did you get lost?" she asked.

[grand-fallguy.livejournal.com]

Looks down at his fully clothed self. "I uh, kinda was wandering aimlessly. Is that the same thing as lost?" he does however, take off shoes and socks, and roll his pant legs up so as to dangle his feet in the water. "I was kinda distracted."

[the4thsister.livejournal.com]

Paige considers the question for a moment, "um pretty much the same I think and don't worry I understand distracted, anything in particular or should I just mind my own business?" she asked.

[grand-fallguy.livejournal.com]

He'd been pretty open about stuff so far. "Do you know anything about Changlings?" he asked.

[the4thsister.livejournal.com]

"I don't think so know, I could probably um find out if you want, I'm a witch," she said "so are you just interested in them or um...is that what you are?" she smiled "I'm pretty open minded about all that stuff."

[grand-fallguy.livejournal.com]

Tim smirked a bit. "You're the second Witch I've met so far." that he knows of "I think I spotted one yesterday. But I'm not sure, it was weird." He blinked. "And I mean that it wasn't the same as the other changeling's I've dealt with."

[the4thsister.livejournal.com]

"Could you tell me what it looked like? It might be someone I know, I've not heard of any Changeling's around here, but then I don't know what they are so you know."

((and I'm about to disappear, sorry. Slow play tomorrow?))

[grand-fallguy.livejournal.com]

"A changling is a Faerie Child, who's been traded for a mortal one." Tim said. "yesterday I met a girl named Pippi who's eyes...well they were Changling's eyes. I've seen them before, but only once on someone my age."

[the4thsister.livejournal.com]

Paige looked confused, "No Pippi's not one of those, I'm sure of it, I know she's a little...kooky but she's normal. So you're from a world with magic too then?"
