Xomeron Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 IC: Can clearly hadn't practiced in some time, and when he had done underwater wrestling, it had been at three-quarters gravity. He started with a running jump into the pool, then tucked into a ball, rolling forward in midair; in scored events, this entry was required, as it disoriented the players and made the start of a match more interesting. Can, however, overestimated his hangtime, and hit the water with his back down rather than his feet down. A half-second of recovery was all he needed, and, rebreather in his mouth, he sunk just below the level of the water, covering the Colonel's right.

It's kind of a weird biological quirk that just seemed to come out of nowhere. Then again the whole concept of a living creature made of rock is bizarre in itself. There might be creatures that can make themselves look like rock or blend in with rock but literally being composed of rock is a whole other matter. It's called humor.

Impact was an ungraceful, wet affair, landing more of less front-first in the water, and initially, sinking rapidly. The water was crisp, and just warm enough to be pleasant. He allowed himself to sink until his buoyancy kicked in and started to bring him to the surface, suddenly kicking graceful and ascending to the surface straight as an arrow, breaking the water easily and blinking the water out of his eyes. He easily kept his position at the surface, treading water easily. "Well, that was interesting."

She saw her locket sliding off her neck, but caught it before it could sink out of her reach. A moment later she had managed to orient herself and swam towards the surface.

He paused, then slowly shifted his chair away from the edge of the pool. Once he was sure he was safe from getting further splashed, Geburah took a break from his PDA. His hand grabbed from the floor a bottle of a liquid meant for human consumption-they called it beer, didn't they. Ah, yes, he had seen it before; he just never had any.

Atton Rand Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 IC: The locket was clenched tightly in her fist, Nicole began to release her grip and put it back around her neck. After briefly opening it to make sure no damage was done, she turned to look around. That was when she noticed across the pool was her old patient, the cat-girl laughing and apparently chatting with an unseen individual. Nicole remembered that Ashley had a man in her brain somehow. She couldn't immediately think of any other explanation beyond that perhaps this had something to do with what happened to her; why objects were floating around and chaos was ensuing. Nicole began to walk around the pool. Her face was blank of emotion, just determination to put a stop to whatever was happening.She walked past other members of the crew, and without much thought she walked around the end to get to the far side. She noticed Ashley, still giggling. Nicole hesitated for a moment. "There isn't any other explanation," she thought. Reluctantly, she ran up to Ashley, grabbing her by what little clothes she was wearing. "WHAT THE !@#$% IS GOING ON!" She shouted. "IS THIS ABOUT THAT MAN IN YOUR HEAD! YOU TOLD ME IT WAS FINE! YOU LIED TO ME! YOU LIED TO ME!" After a heated rant, Nicole became silent. She breathed heavily, a few tears emerged from her eyes, unsure if she had done the right thing.

While she pulled herself out of the pool to go break the two apart, in Ashley's head, something more... primal, activated. Dorian's projection sprung up, though at that exact moment, it was hard to tell if it was Dorian, Ashley, or both of them in conjuction, willing things to happen.. Regardless of who, the end result was the same; a psionic scream of GET OFF, and Nicole pushed off, tumbling to the ground as an invisible force separated her from Ashley. "Doctor!" The Colonel looked at the two of them; she always knew Ashley hid a lot of muscle under that frame, but didn't think she could actually push a full grown woman off of her.
