Lake Party Water Post Day Two

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

Sunshine Dust, the golden squid, frolics closer to shore today. There were so many people to play with in the lake yesterday! And squids need love and attention too!

There's a soft breeze coaxing the water into gentle waves, playing around the Black Pearl's sails.

If you didn't get a chance to swim yesterday, there is only today.

Tomorrow, it will be February again.

A different kind of entrance...

[ncdcas-cable.livejournal.com]

Nathan and Alice were, meanwhile, swimming in a small cove at Providence, enjoying the early morning sun and still cool water. Nathan grins at Alice and kisses her, then ducks under the water to dive deep, stretching his muscles, as he drives deeper and deeper.

Finally, though, it is time to rise back up again, and so he does, slowly, head breaking the surface and...

...he blinks around at the lake party in Milliways' back area.

"What the--?"

Alice?

Re: A different kind of entrance...

[sorrowfulmisery.livejournal.com]

And for once Alice had been enjoying herself. Almost no worries in the world. Key word there... almost. She kisses Nathan back and watches him dive under the cool water and raises a brow when she suddenly hears his voice in her head.

Yes?

But even as she says that one word she dives under after where he'd gone. It doesn't take long for her to resurface right next to her husband. In which case she blinks a bit. How the hell...?

"Someone explain this to me again..."

[bright-burning.livejournal.com]

Swimming. Immersing yourself in water. Fully in water.

This logic does not compute.

But other people seem to have enjoyed it, so, y'know. Might as well see? And so it that there is a Fire sitting at the very edge of the lake, right where the water meets the sand, and inching her way in.

Slowly.

Veeeeeeery slowly.

[themerlin]

Merlin pauses nearby, with his glass of wine and nods to her.

"Testing out the waters?"

Little motes of golden light dance around him.

Nathan was coming back in for a break from swimming when he noticed the woman. Awfully cautious to even wade in. Some kind of phobia.

"It doesn't bite, in case you're wondering. It's great out there," he commented offhandedly.

[ather-fledgling.livejournal.com]

"You might make it fully into the lake by night fall at that speed." The teasing voice comes from just behind her.

Aubrey's watching her curiously from behind a pair of sunglasses.

[waylostandfound.livejournal.com]

Ever heard the one about the swimming politician?

Well there was one in the water now, expertly practicing he knew as a kid, and some techniques he learned in the Navy. And as long as he was underwater... maaaaybe a sly way to do some flying? Or at least *very fast* swimming?

Possibly...

Or not.

There is a rustling in the bushes behind a large rock by the side of the lake as a violet toga is tossed over it. Imagine now a Disney-style overture of "SOMG SEXY LADY" music done with badly-played trumpets and someone whistling from offscreen. That would be Megara, deciding to go for a swim.

She's GREEK. Why would she wear CLOTHING to go SWIMMING?

[twiceahero.livejournal.com]

Barbara, eyes caught by the bright purple garment, rolls over. "You, um, want me to watch this so that it's still here when you get back?" She's not, precisely, grinning. But she is imagining just how funny it would be if someone wandered off with the toga.

[twiceahero.livejournal.com]

Barbara is sitting in her chair looking out over the lake when something green (http://community.livejournal.com/milliways_bar/15834184.html?thread=650316360#t650316360) catches her eye. She rolls over for a closer look, then grins as she recognizes the cut and color. Someone was wearing these yesterday, and won't they be embarrassed to know that she knows they were lost.

She scoops them up laughing and goes back to staring out across the lake.

Steph has acquired a nice new red bikini. She don't need no stinkin' green one.

...Well, she liked the green one better, but it got FLUNG AWAY.

She may die if she realises Babs knows this.

It'd be quite funny.

"Good morning," she offers, drifting up all unawares.

He wasn't out yesterday but he's out today. Normally because of what he is he wouldn't really be out. But his kind work differently than that of other vampires of different worlds. He sees the woman in the wheel chair and smiles a bit.

"Enjoying the view?" He has a slight Californian accent though that's not where he's from.

[gorgonfondness]

Mia has had her fill of sunning, so she's standing in the water, only about knee deep.

She'd go farther, but she's admiring the Black Pearl for now.

[princeinexile]

This is Zuko's gratuitously halfnaked entrance.

He has chosen a spot at the edge of the lake, flanked with two HUGE DOGS that are HAPPY FOR SUN AND WATER. Zuko sits on a rock and looks pensive.

Pensive.

At a damn party.

This just isn't right.

[mothpapa.livejournal.com]

Let's see how pensive Zuko continues to be with a totally naked Greek princess paddling around out in the water.

[allican-do.livejournal.com]

Katara is not pensive because Katara is not a stupid prince with a massive tree trunk stuck up her--

Well, you know. And Katara is oblivious at the moment since she's having fun in the water over there, just a little ways off, idly swimming. Jet had gone in long before she was ready and she was happily getting pruny doing somersaults and spins, diving beneath the water then popping back up again.

She does not, it should be noted, jump off any rocks. Oh, no.

[misterparker.livejournal.com]

Parker's lazing on a lawn chair, shirtless and barefoot.

He's still wearing jeans though. Because he's Parker, he doesn't do swimming.

[zunarj59doric47.livejournal.com]

There's a cat in the water.

He doesn't seem to be distressed by the fact, though.

[scrmifthishurts]

And there's a young woman not too far from him. Abby had fun yesterday why not have fun today. Although... seeing a cat in the water is a bit weird. Most cats can't stand the water.

[ather-fledgling.livejournal.com]

Aubrey's taken to swimming. It's nice to be able to swim in such lovely water, and being a vampire isn't going to stop him.

Yes, vampire, full sun, no bad side effects.

He's close to shore, but just far enough away that he can do laps easily.

[jianhuo.livejournal.com]

It's been said that February has it's good points and-- well, maybe that's true. But honestly, when offered the chance of a nice, warm sun in a beautiful place with a warm lake and the opportunity to wander around in little-to-no-clothes, bare feet in the grass...

Well, February can go do something rude with itself, if you catch the drift.

That seems to be one person's opinion, at the very least. There is a redhead on the bank of a lake, a towel beneath her, laid out with her eyes closed and her face tilted to the sun. In case one has forgotten the color of said eyes, the tankini she wears to preserve some semblance of modesty happens to be the exact same lovely shade of blue as them

(thank you, Bar)

though if you can get past the bright flashes of red and gold in her hair each time she turns her head, kudos to you.

[wheelsy_sheriff]

Bill finally worked up the gumption to get in the water. He really didn't think it all the way through though because while he did go in and get a pair of trunks from Bar he'd forgotten to ask for a towel while he was at it.

So he's treading water trying to come up with a fix when he see's a familiar face out on the bank. Great. Not wanting to bring attention to his dilemma he tries to paddle on by.

Bill really isn't all that stealthy...

The wonderful thing about knowing the lake well was the simple fact that Rachel knew the little inlets and nooks, the areas where the waters were hidden and gentle, even in times of parties.

There was an area where willows trailed fronds in the water, just at the blurred edges of the dreaming's forest...

...and it felt safe...

That's where Rachel was to be found, head cradled on a waterlogged root, the rest of scarred self held in the waters as she seemed to sleep.

[unwraith.livejournal.com]

She has company soon, moving silently to sit on the shore, water lapping at bare feet.

[mogget_cat]

There is a splash, an "eek!" and then there is a wereleopard coming up for air after being tackled into the lake.

Eventually, a not'cat breaks the surface and shakes the water out of his hair.

Yrael is laughing at Elizabeth.

[boundxkitty]

Said wereleopard pushes off the bottom of the lake and pounces in an effort to dunk Yrael back under.

Fair is fair, right?
