Re: The Pool
Posted: Tue Aug 27, 2013 12:24 am"It smells strange." she replied "I am unsure if its supposed to be that way."

Posted: Tue Aug 27, 2013 12:48 pm"Bloody maintenance crew not doing their jobs again? I swear," Tommy swore.
Re: The Pool
Posted: Wed Aug 28, 2013 12:47 am"The water appears clear enough." Mariuset said " its just that the smell is...odd."
Re: The Pool
Posted: Wed Aug 28, 2013 2:02 pm"Well, I can't say that I notice anything."
Re: The Pool
Posted: Wed Aug 28, 2013 3:07 pm"Then I suppose it must be safe." Mariuset said, still sounding uncertain.
Re: The Pool
Posted: Wed Aug 28, 2013 4:00 pm"I would imagine, unless you have some sort of hyper-senses."
Re: The Pool
Posted: Wed Aug 28, 2013 5:58 pm"I don't." Mariuset replied "I am merely unaccustomed to anything but salt water."
Re: The Pool
Posted: Wed Aug 28, 2013 6:05 pm"Well, you could go down to the beach instead, then?"
Re: The Pool
Posted: 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."
Re: The Pool
Posted: 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?"
Perhaps, then, the simulations in the danger room?"
Re: The Pool
Posted: 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."

Re: The Pool
Posted: 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."
Re: The Pool
Posted: Thu Aug 29, 2013 1:10 am"My name is Tommy More, and I'm sure it is."
Re: The Pool
Posted: Thu Aug 29, 2013 1:19 am"Do you enjoy swimming?" Mariuset asked, not sure what the correct response was in this case.
Re: The Pool
Posted: Thu Aug 29, 2013 3:04 am"I compete from time to time."
Re: The Pool
Posted: Thu Aug 29, 2013 11:42 pmMariuset 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."
Re: The Pool
Posted: Fri Aug 30, 2013 2:18 am"Somewhat. Not a major one."
Re: The Pool
Posted: Fri Aug 30, 2013 11:00 pm"I wouldn't expect it would be." Mariuset said, nodding
Re: The Pool
Posted: Fri Aug 30, 2013 11:28 pm"And why not?"
Re: The Pool
Posted: 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."
Re: The Pool
Posted: Fri Aug 30, 2013 11:37 pm"Some of us spend plenty of time in the water."
Re: The Pool
Posted: Sat Aug 31, 2013 12:30 am"For a surface dweller, perhaps. But you aren't truly raised in it, bred to it."
Re: The Pool
Posted: Sat Aug 31, 2013 12:17 pm"No, I'm bred to greater things."
Re: The Pool
Posted: Sat Aug 31, 2013 1:55 pm"Ah, a noble." she said, her lips quirking in amusement "I should have realized that."
Re: The Pool
Posted: Sat Aug 31, 2013 3:41 pm"Oh?"
Re: The Pool
Posted: 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."
Re: The Pool
Posted: Sat Aug 31, 2013 9:23 pm"Comforting? In what way?"
Re: The Pool
Posted: Sat Aug 31, 2013 10:52 pm"I'm a long way from home, and its comforting to find something familiar."
Re: The Pool
Posted: Sat Aug 31, 2013 11:05 pm"Many of those here are far away from home."
Re: The Pool
Posted: Sun Sep 01, 2013 1:18 am"Very true, although I believe I may be a bit farther than most."
Re: The Pool
Posted: Sun Sep 01, 2013 9:24 pm"You'd be surprised."
Re: The Pool
Posted: Sun Sep 01, 2013 11:37 pm"Lemuria?"
Re: The Pool
Posted: Sun Sep 01, 2013 11:42 pm"Gesundheit."
Re: The Pool
Posted: Sun Sep 01, 2013 11:45 pmMariuset looked at him blankly "I'm sorry" she said "I'm afraid that I'm unfamiliar with Gesundheit. Where is it located?"
Re: The Pool
Posted: Mon Sep 02, 2013 12:02 am"Next to the island of Gullible, I believe. Now, if you excuse me, I must be off."
Re: The Pool
Posted: 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."
