The Pool, Thursday late afternoon

After meeting many many people throughout the day, Ami decided that she should explore the pool facilities. Taking a towel from her room, and changing into her swimsuit in the common bathroom, she made her way downstairs.

The pool seemed empty and tranquil. Jumping in, Ami started swimming laps. She was a very good swimmer, fast and efficient at using her energy. Slowly as she swam, her thoughts cleared and she was focusing on nothing but the water and the breathing. This was almost like home.

Billy hadn't expected anyone else to be here. She seemed pretty pre-occupied with her own swimming, so he simply sat down, removed his t-shirt, and began undoing the straps holding his leg on.

Noticing another person in the room, Ami waved when she saw that it was the boy billy from several days ago.

"Hi Ami." Billy waved back. He had good balance on his one leg, but the floors around pools were treacherous, so he instead did a modified crab walk to the edge of the pool.

Ami was a good girl and did not stare, but she did swim over to a closer range.

Billy lowered himself into the water, the surface coming up to his shoulders, and he bounced on his toes, letting his body get it's bearings so to speak. "How're we treating you so far?"

"Pretty good actually." Ami bobbed in the water, her feet pulled up under her. In the water is where she felt most comfortable. "Everyone is really nice, and i am hoping to make it to town one of these days soon. "

"Good good." He drifted a bit deeper, letting his arms do most of the treading. "Town's got pretty much anything you might need. Except a mall. There's no mall."

"I am certain i can survive." She did the back stroke following him towards the deeper end of the pool. "Is there a Karaoke place?"

Billy winced inwardly, but grinned. "Oh yeah. Caritas has kareoke. With a live band. Well, live in the sense that they play the music right there on the stage anyway."

He likewise did a back stroke, using his arms mostly, his leg primarily for steering.

Ami flipped to do the breaststroke. "What in front of everyone? No little private rooms so you can embarass yourself in front of your friends only?"

"Fraid not. The place is all or nothing. Stage, band, and drunken audience all included.

She really was quite gracefull in the water wasn't she. "Plus the band are zombies."

She really was. But if she was showing off, she was in no way doing it consciously. "Raised dead, those kinds of zombies, or is it just a creative name?"

"Nope, raised dead, held together with Duct Tape Zombies." Billy also was not conciously showing off how well one can swim with only one leg.

Nor was he at all aware that he was swimming with a good looking asian girl. Nope, not at all.

Ami turned to swim on her side, sort of curious to see exactly how he did the swimming. "I see. So you have been here a while, does this place ever stop surprising you?"

His swimming was mostly with the arms. He'd never win any races probably, but it kept him moving and afloat. He kicked his leg only occaisionally in order to steer.

"It hasn't no." he said. "I keep thinking I've seen all I could see, and then the island throws something like Knights on a quest for a shrubbery at me."

Ami reached within arm's reach of the eld of the lane and eecuted a flawless flip to reverse direction, kicking off from the wall. "Knights? With horses and shining armor?" she asked as she surfaced for air a few feet back alongthe lane.

Moving at a steady, leisurely pace, billy ducked under the water, flipped, and managed to push off the wall, stroking with one arm to keep in a strait line.

"No horses, but they had the armor. and the british accents."

If Ami was at all impressed with his flip, she did not show it. "Wow. THat is sort of special." She paused the conversation to do andeven graceful crrawl to theother end and stood up, this being the shallow end. "I hate to ask the stereotypical question, but has godzilla attacked yet?"

Billy barked a laugh. "No, no giant monsters. I think the closest was either the Trolls, or these weird Dinosaur cyborg clone things."

He got to the shallow water, and sort of hop swam to a stop.
