The Pool, Saturday afternoon

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Dinah opened the door to the pool and held it for Jaime, smiling. "And here we are. Pretty easy to find." She hit the lights, and grinned as the pool lit up, dropping her towel and cover-up onto a nearby chair, then kicked off her flip-flops. "High dive, low dive, lanes. Pretty much a standard pool. All rumors of sharks have yet to be anything more than stories.

[open!]

Jaime used the fact that he needed to toss his own towel somewhere to distract himself from the (fortunately brief) feeling of awkward at being alone with a girl in a swimsuit.

By the time he'd gotten his towel oh-so-carefully situated, he was able to act normal. -ish. "I think the fact that sharks are even a rumor here is kind of worrying."

"It is, isn't it?" Dinah grinned and tied her braid back with an elastic band, curling it up into a bun at the nape of her neck. Way too long since she'd been here, and she gave the high-dive a speculative look. Fifteen feet or so, maybe? Not high enough to be *really* high. "Want to race?" Teasing, she added, "We can see if you can beat me at this?"

"I'm from El Paso," Jaime reminded her with a smirk. "It's a desert."

Maybe that would make her underestimate his (admittedly limited) swimming prowess and he could win!

Well, this was a little awkward. She'd been concentrating on Ender and Dinah's psychic scents, she hadn't really paid attention to who else was with them. Which, thinking about that now, was kind of a foolish thing to do.

"Kiss, kiss, Jaime," she said, trying to pretend that she wasn't disconcerted by seeing him. "Still not a request, don't worry."

[weldedtomyspine]

"Hey, Karla." Jaime managed a friendly smile. The Scarab started muttering at him again, but it was a lot quieter by now. And Jaime was still convinced that the girl wasn't a threat, no matter what powers she had.

"Hey, Dinah."

Ender's greeting was easy and light as he walked into the pool area, his own towel slung lightly across his shoulder.

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"Hey Ender!" Dinah greeted him, toes over the pool edge. "This is Jaime, he's new. As you'd guess." She grinned. "Did you try out for the play yet?" Assuming he would, because he'd been awesome at the last one.

[endsthegame]

"I did," Ender agreed, easily. "Last week, considering that Geoffrey isn't running any private auditions and he's out of the public variety. You?"

[glacial_queen]

"Ender!" Karla called with a grin and a wave. She hadn't seen him since the Multicultural Fair. "You and Ben both have been hiding yourselves away. It's taken this long for me to finally scare you off?"

[endsthegame]

"Yes," Ender said, his eyebrows wiggling. "We're utterly terrified of you."

He approached, though. "Or alternatively, I haven't found myself in the position to say 'hi' lately. Hi."

[weldedtomyspine]

Jaime glanced over at the newcomer and waved a friendly wave. Hi new person who wasn't a girl in a bathing suit!

[endsthegame]

Ender waved back with a light grin. "Hey," he greeted. "I'm Ender. I think we share some acquaintances."

Today was a good day for a swim. Karla had thought about heading down to the beach, but a few familiar psychic scents had her heading towards the pool instead.

"Kiss kiss," she called, totally pretending to be comfortable in her bikini. These swimsuits were weird.

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"Karla, hi hi hi!" Dinah surfaced, smiling as she blinked chlorine out of her eyes, and swam over to the edge of the pool, grinning. She remembered Karla's reactions last time; breasts were okay, but legs... "Ready to do some laps?"

[glacial_queen]

"Sure!" Karla was actually doing a funny little dance; it was as if she was trying to hide one leg behind the other, which really wasn't working so well.

What? It was weird. "Though I'm going to do a dive or two first. You have to go really far out in the ocean to get a good depth for a proper dive, so usually it isn't worth it."

Azula glanced at Karla and nodded to her in greeting.

[glacial_queen]

Karla saw Azula and waved back. "Kiss kiss," she said, before diving under the water and swimming towards the side of the pool. She surfaced and gave Azula a smile. "How're you settling in?" she asked.

Leda tried not to stare. It was hard. Karla looked so good in that suit.

[glacial_queen]

Karla glanced over, saw Leda, and waved. She was up on the diving board, so rather than climb down, she executed a graceful swan dive into the pool and then swam over to where Leda was standing. "Kiss kiss," she said. "Ready for that swimming lesson?"

[azuldragon.livejournal.com]

Because Azula felt she didn't have enough on her plate training Hayley she was going to play a game of pig-chicken with the swimming pool.

Except she didn't expected people to be there. This was a bad idea, she should leave.

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Azula." Dinah surfaced from the water, blinking in surprise when she saw Azula. Water was the last place she expected to see Azula. "You ... swim?"

[azuldragon.livejournal.com]

"Dinah," she said, equally surprised. "I do but perhaps now isn't the time."

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

Random bout of curiosity had Leda heading to the pool to check it out. "Oh hey, looks like a party's going on."

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Dinah looked up and waved to Leda. "Not so much, just having fun. How've you been?"

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

"I've been okay." She looked like she'd just slept for over a day. "How about you?"
