(why to I keep thinking 'small plastic containers' whenever anyone says Delaware? Meh.)
Seryn raises her glass to those thanking her for the Fairy display "No problem!" Then she crosses to a chair where two specks of light are bobbing about in an agitated fashion.
"Goodness, whats up with you guys?"
One of the specks of light turns to her, then dims, so that she can see a tiny little woman in the midst of the glow.
"Oh, he's grousing about one of the displays, the dragon didn't go according to the plan, mainly because the left eye and the fingernail on the right pinkie where still in the bottom of the box doing...." the little voice falters, and the light takes on a rosy glow "...things..."
Her serious look is interrupted by the other speck, which dims to reveal a little balding man with a grumpy look on his face "I wouldn't mind, but up 'til a day ago, those two couldn't stand the sight of each other - she's bin gunnin for 'is blood ever since 'e made the front page of Lady Cottingtons..."
"Maybe they just made up... put aside their differences" Seryn interjected, then added defensively "it can happen..."
The female fairy crossed her arms over her chest, a sly look on her face "oh aye...?"
Seryn blushed "look, payment, gold coins in a bag in my quarters, fruit and wine in the kitchen, knock yourselves out. You'd be hard pressed to find a virgin on this boat but stay away from the children! she wags a finger for emphasis.
The little fairy rolls her eye's but aquiesces, and they shake on it.
People begin to file out towards the water park in anticipation of the next round. Unobserved, by fairies and humans alike, in one corner of the common room, several specks group together, talking in whispers to each other
"but what if we get caught?"
"well, we plead insanity"
"we say we were enchanted"
"only works for humans"
*blows a raspberry*
"I like the one in the red dress"
"so we are going to join in the swimming?"
"yes"
"but I didn't bring my costume! What shall I wear?"
"what a question to ask!"
"but its against the rules! You know what they said!"
"shut up Tiffany"
"can it Tiff"
"so we're all agreed?"
"yes"
"agreed"
"yup"
"nuh uh!"
"shut it Tiff"
"right then, on three..."
"does that mean I can have the one in the red dress?"
As the Treefolk file out, they are by by several new people, long hair in dazzling shades of blond waving in a none existant breeze, bobbing every now and then in a suppressed giggle.
Seryn makes her way towards the park, then she stops. Leaning against a door frame, half hidden in the shadows, is a tall familiar figure. She crosses over, kisses him, and smiles. "you're awake."
"you're in the wrong place."
"Oh? Where exactly should I be?"
"Follow me and i'll show you"
She rolls her eyes comically "if I must"
"Oh you must."

Well, I still don't have a swimsuit, but.... *shrug*
*Stands up, extends hand to Mai. Takes her hand and escorts her to the water park for round 2... of the gala*

Wow that was an awesome display! Wonder where she got the fairies?
*take JH's hand and proceeds to the waterpark*
Can't wait to see this part of the competition!

CONTESTANT 6: Quincey, Bride5
“Hi, I’m Quincey again, and I’ll start the second phase of the competition!”
Quincey, still naked except for red and black body paint, climbs up the tall ladder to the highest diving platform over the Olympic sized swimming pool. She takes a deep breath, then launches herself out over the pool. She executes a number of somersaults and cleanly breaks the water in a perfect dive. The audience claps.
As Quincey surfaces and she takes in a few breaths, she realizes that she is surrounded by a growing circle of dark water.
“Ooops! I guess that body paint isn’t water-safe.”
A naked Quincey climbs out of the pool and dashes off to the locker room.
Quincey, Bride5

Contestant number 3: JadeHand
*JadeHand stands by the pool and notices Quincey as she starts to rise from the pool. As her head comes up by the ladder, he gives a quick nod of approval, glad to see the woman he helpped to rescue, having fun. As she climbs up and notices the lack of paint clinging to her body, he quickly looks back to Mai*
So, I still don't have a suit, but I don't think I'll take Quincey's approach.
*JadeHand slips off his boots and sets down his bag beside Mai. Still wearing his black slacks, shirt, tie, and socks he walks over and climbs to the uppermost board. He steps to the edge. His hands sweep out to his sides and meet above his head. His knees bend and straiten, bringing him up into the air. His body bends, his fingertips meet his toes as he spins through 2 complete flips. His body extends and straitens again just as he slips below the surface. Beneath the surface he traverses the length of the pool and surfaces on the far side. He gently places his hands on the poolside and lifts up bending his knees and placing his feet between his hands. he stands and walks back Mai.*
"I should find a towel....."

CONTESTANT 1: Ervin the Yeti
A magnificent smile spreads across Ervin's features as he yells, "Cannonball!" The Yeti runs up to the side of the pool, leaps high, and curls his body into a ball. Water spashes everywhere as he falls into the pool. When Ervin surfaces, his fur is no longer pure white. It now seems to have red and black patches. Apparently, he swam through the cloud of paint left by Quincey.

Some days later, spent mostly in bed, without much sleep, Seryn lies next to SR. She is, what can only be described as, glowing. If the thermostat were to be lowered in the room there would be steam rising off of SR as a result of recent strenuous activity. He moves his arm and it seems to have no weight. His senses are acute. He looks at his hands and no longer sees blood. He turns his gaze upon Seryn and sees a woman of intense, nigh painful, beauty.
He speaks, "I love you."

**jake7 watches the diving display with dismay. She doesn't know how to dive. She thinks furiously about what water tricks she knows. A figurative lightbulb appears over her head as she recalls one trick she did as a kid. She slips into the pool. She addresses the judges**
Since there's no clear sides to the pool, you'll have to come up to the sides and view.
**jake7 takes a deep breath, then jumps up from the water, then "dives" forward and completes two full somersaults underwater. She springs up from the water, spluttering. She takes a couple of deep breaths and then exits the pool**
