CONTESTANT 10: Needy, the boy whore
Needy steps up, fresh from changing into his companion-swimsuit: The G-Swim.
Walking confidantly up to the large diving board with his well-toned body shining under the lights, he is sure he can hear whistles from the Fairy corner. Shruggin it off, he begins to ascend the ladder.
He almost slips a couple times due to his greased body, but manages to save himself.
Reaching the top of the diving board he prepares himself.
After a minute of taking in deep breaths he finally makes his move - running the length of the diving board, before suddenly stopping, spinning his body around as the grease on his feet causes him to slide off the board backwards (All on purpose of course)
With his arms stretched upwards as he falls, he grabs with his powdered hands the end of the board, and vaults himself up. As his body flies in the air, above the board, he closes his eyes as he lets gravity do the work. His feet again meet the board and this time, bending his knees, he lets the board spin his body in a backwards somersault towards the pool below.
Doing a full 360 turn before his feet hit the water in a graceful immersion, his body sinks to the bottom, allowing him to finally spring himself up dramatically as his feet jump off the floor of the pool.
Needy emerges from the depths with his arms held up high in a victorious pose.
As Needy had told many people before, he was an expert when it came to going down.

With his memory sufficiently thrashed, Jazaf turns back to the Gala in time to witness the arrival of creatures of light. The combination of the lights and the alcohol he consumed however, cause him to pass out on the floor. He would have stayed that way if not for Ervin's Cannonball.

IN THE WATER PARK:
Contestant(s) 11
The lull in the competion reveals a flurry of activity in one corner. After some low arguments, wierd flashes of light and one or two protesting yelps of pain, seven young women glide out to the front.
In unison, they shimmer out across the side of the pool, pause and turn to face the judges. The effect is only spoiled slightly by the fact that the last one, a slight girl with honey blonde hair and a blush pink dress, every so often waves a hand, giggles and blows kisses at Needy.
The tallest girl glides forward, and anounces them to the room.
"We wish to enter your pagent. We are Luna, May, Fauna, Merle, Amber, Orla and Tiffany. She first inlines her head, then indicates the rest of the girls, frowning slightly as she catches Amber mouthing sweet nothings in Needy's direction.
Our dresses we made ourselves, from spiders webs and fairy glamour.
Each girl wears a slight variation of the same dress, the colours so delicately tinted as to look more like a stain on skin than actual fabric. Several people lean in to look closer at the shimmering confections, eyes straining to make out what they are looking at, then the significance of the words 'fairy glamour' sink in, and they lean back out again, wondering how to judge a dress that is almost pure illusion.
Amber flutters a wave at Needy again, and lets the illusion fade for a moment.
Several men in the audience shift awkwardly in their seats.
Well, thats is round one.
Instantly, the dresses fade to be replaced with more substantial swimming costumes. Serenly, three of the group climb the diving boards whilst the others dive into the pool. A flute starts up a simple tune and they begin to swim in formation, following the dives with leaps up towards the cielings, aided by their wings, and using their glamours to tint the water different colours, to make flowers and animals dance across the surface.
They finish the set and gracefully climb out of the pool, only Luna pausing to bow to the judges, and to yank Amber after her as she starts blowing kisses again.

IN SR'S APARTMENT:
Seryn wriggles a little, making herself comfortable, when SR's words penetrate her hazy thoughts.
what? wait! What did you just say? Oh go se!
Outwardly calm, she stretches a bit and starts to play with strand of his hair. On the inside, adrenaline floods her system and somewhere, her inner whatever throws one stinker of a tantrum.
In amongst the chaos, she fails to recognise the compulsion to speak before its almost too late. Opening her mouth to speak, the sudden realisation of what she's about to do stops her dead. The words stick in her mouth, and she covers it with an awkward smile.
"oh behave!" she lightly shoves at one shoulder, forcing herself to laugh. "you had me worried for a moment there!" She turns over, catching his hand and wrapping his arms around her waist. Then makes her self still and pretends to fall asleep.

*JadeHand finds a towel and begins trying to dry his soaked clothing. shaking most of the water from his arms and legs and hair. His shirt sticking to his skin he looks up and the smile on her face as she shakes her head.*
"What? I didn't want to miss anything by going back to change, and I didn't have a swimsuit anyway. well... I did swim in the suit but I don't think that's what they mean."
*JadeHand slips his boots back on, throws his bag over his shoulder, and smiles at Mai*
"You know..... I'm glad you got lost and ended up in our winged waters. But don't get lost anymore, okay?"
"Don't give me what's in the window, babe
I want the stuff you think would never sell
Whatcha have under the counter on the bottom shelf?
I'll buy the lowdown deepdown primal truthful self ."

Oh, I've some talent ... not the sort of thing for public performances though.
I'm thinking on performing a song that I find fits me.
Hopefully it goes over well, not expecting to win anything here, just having some fun.

A very stunned SR takes all this in as his whole perspective changes. Five minutes before he was literally flying around the room in perfect bliss, now he is back down on the ground again. He quashes his initial response closing eyes that are moist with potential tears. He takes a moment and mentally draws himself out of his body, as the lady had taught him so long ago, to see the situation as objectively as possible. SR focuses his memory taking a long slow look back at what had just happened. Seryn had been taken off guard, but she had hesitated before speaking. What had the lady have said about all this?
"Beware of the naked woman who lies to you. Focus on her motivations and distill the truth from the lies."
He knew his captain from long experience under sail and in combat. This person in his bed was at first glance terra incognita, but they were in fact the same person.
"She plays at using me, but if that were really so then she wouldn't have hesitated." SR thinks to himself.
"The better lies contain elements of the truth, it makes them easier to digest." The lady had said.
Seryn had said, "you had me worried for a moment there!"
SR thought it through, yes, Seryn was worried.
"Women are afraid of love, because they do not want to lose control and fear losing themselves." the lady had said.
So Seryn was holding back out of fear, SR concluded.

(OOC.... "Saw that coming.")
*Turns to face Mai*
I see a couple of comfy lounge chairs over there where we can watch the rest of the show, and one has a sun lamp. Maybe I'll be dry by the time the talent portion comes around. Care to join me?
