The Pool

by **Tommy More** » Mon Aug 26, 2013 1:49 pm

Tommy, dressed in a rather old-fashioned swimming costume, began doing some stretches at the edge of the pool, as he prepared to do laps.

Mariuset, dressed in the same conservative black one piece she'd worn earlier, came out of the women's changing room. She stood at the edge of the pool, eyeing it uncertainly.

"What's the matter with the pool?"

by **Mariuset** » Tue Aug 27, 2013 12:24 am

"It smells strange." she replied "I am unsure if its supposed to be that way."

by **Tommy More** » Tue Aug 27, 2013 12:48 pm

"Bloody maintenance crew not doing their jobs again? I swear," Tommy swore.

by **Mariuset** » Wed Aug 28, 2013 12:47 am

"The water appears clear enough." Mariuset said " its just that the smell is...odd."

by **Tommy More** » Wed Aug 28, 2013 2:02 pm

"Well, I can't say that I notice anything."

by **Mariuset** » Wed Aug 28, 2013 3:07 pm

"Then I suppose it must be safe." Mariuset said, still sounding uncertain.

by **Tommy More** » Wed Aug 28, 2013 4:00 pm

"I would imagine, unless you have some sort of hyper-senses."

by **Mariuset** » Wed Aug 28, 2013 5:58 pm

"I don't." Mariuset replied "I am merely unaccustomed to anything but salt water."

by **Tommy More** » Wed Aug 28, 2013 6:05 pm

"Well, you could go down to the beach instead, then?"

by **Mariuset** » Wed Aug 28, 2013 6:14 pm

"Unfortunately, I should avoid the ocean for the time being." she said "Until the danger of kidnapping passes."

by **Tommy More** » Wed Aug 28, 2013 6:19 pm

"Oooh, I can see how that would be an issue.

Perhaps, then, the simulations in the danger room?"

by **Mariuset** » Wed Aug 28, 2013 11:40 pm

"The Danger Room?" Mariuset asked, sitting down and putting her legs into the water "I did not realize that it could do ocean simulations."

by **Tommy More** » Thu Aug 29, 2013 12:29 am

"It can, or so I'm told. Nothing compared to the real thing, of course."

by **Mariuset** » Thu Aug 29, 2013 1:09 am

"Nothing compares to the real thing." she replied "I'm sorry, I've been remiss. I am Mariuset, it is a pleasure to meet you."

by **Tommy More** » Thu Aug 29, 2013 1:10 am

"My name is Tommy More, and I'm sure it is."

by **Mariuset** » Thu Aug 29, 2013 1:19 am

"Do you enjoy swimming?" Mariuset asked, not sure what the correct response was in this case.

by **Tommy More** » Thu Aug 29, 2013 3:04 am

"I compete from time to time."

by **Mariuset** » Thu Aug 29, 2013 11:42 pm

Mariuset gave him a brief look of surprise and then said, diplomatically "How interesting. I didn't realize that racing was a sport on the surface."

by **Tommy More** » Fri Aug 30, 2013 2:18 am

"Somewhat. Not a major one."

by **Mariuset** » Fri Aug 30, 2013 11:00 pm

"I wouldn't expect it would be." Mariuset said, nodding

by **Tommy More** » Fri Aug 30, 2013 11:28 pm

"And why not?"

by **Mariuset** » Fri Aug 30, 2013 11:31 pm

"Because you don't spend very much time in the water, and your bodies are not truly suited to it." Mariuset replied, adding hastily "I mean no offense, of course."

by **Tommy More** » Fri Aug 30, 2013 11:37 pm

"Some of us spend plenty of time in the water."

by **Mariuset** » Sat Aug 31, 2013 12:30 am

"For a surface dweller, perhaps. But you aren't truly raised in it, bred to it."

by **Tommy More** » Sat Aug 31, 2013 12:17 pm

"No, I'm bred to greater things."

by **Mariuset** » Sat Aug 31, 2013 1:55 pm

"Ah, a noble." she said, her lips quirking in amusement "I should have realized that."

by **Tommy More** » Sat Aug 31, 2013 3:41 pm

"Oh?"

by **Mariuset** » Sat Aug 31, 2013 7:44 pm

"It seems that nobles have the same demeanor and bearing above and below the surface. I find that oddly comforting."

by **Tommy More** » Sat Aug 31, 2013 9:23 pm

"Comforting? In what way?"

by **Mariuset** » Sat Aug 31, 2013 10:52 pm

"I'm a long way from home, and its comforting to find something familiar."

by **Tommy More** » Sat Aug 31, 2013 11:05 pm

"Many of those here are far away from home."

by **Mariuset** » Sun Sep 01, 2013 1:18 am

"Very true, although I believe I may be a bit farther than most."

by **Tommy More** » Sun Sep 01, 2013 9:24 pm

"You'd be surprised."

by **Mariuset** » Sun Sep 01, 2013 11:37 pm

"Lemuria?"

by **Tommy More** » Sun Sep 01, 2013 11:42 pm

"Gesundheit."

by **Mariuset** » Sun Sep 01, 2013 11:45 pm

Mariuset looked at him blankly "I'm sorry" she said "I'm afraid that I'm unfamiliar with Gesundheit. Where is it located?"

by **Tommy More** » Mon Sep 02, 2013 12:02 am

"Next to the island of Gullible, I believe. Now, if you excuse me, I must be off."

by **Mariuset** » Mon Sep 02, 2013 12:51 am

"I am sorry we could not converse longer." Mariuset replied "I bid you good day, and hope to see you again."
