Heart soul and memory 4 A farewell to love (IC)
Episode 8 Scene 2
Okay, we're all together, any ideas what you want to do? Ophelia asks after calming down.
Those words, send you in a state of panic, how can you possibly please this goddess of power?
Spoiler: Opposed
Allure =Indoor pool. +3 VP with Ophelia
Conflict =Tackle football. +3 VP with Ophelia.
Luck =Pick a good idea at random. +3 VP with Ophelia.
If players pick the same roll and tie they both get vp, otherwise highest mod tiebreaks, and if mods are the same, they reroll.

Re: Heart soul and memory 4 A farewell to love (IC)
Alice eagerly supported Emma's suggestion. "Ooo, a pool would be perfect!" she said, throwing her arm around Ophelia's shoulders. "I mean, think about it: kind of hard to be clumsy while you're in a pool. Or we can just lie around the side of the pool checking out all the cute guys and girls in swimsuits," she added with a wink.
Spoiler: OOC/RollAllure, Touchy-Feely +1, Shameless +2 = +3 total.
Shameless justified by the fact that this is still the same day as at the end of the last episode, where I used it, so of course she's still wearing the same thing. Just couldn't work a description of her outfit in naturally there.Last edited by Zevox; 2018-10-04 at 05:39 PM.

"I think some time in the water, or by the water, would do us all some good - I'm fairly certain it won't exacerbate the infection, anyway," she mutters at the end. "Sorry Athena, it looks like you're outvoted...unless little miss ear infection agrees, of course. Always defer to the patient," she teases Ophelia.
Spoiler: OoCAllure. Neutral roll. Just As Planned on Alice, after some deliberation. Pool party ahoy.

Tachi
The incubus nods sagely and pops a button on his shirt. "I'm going to have to agree with Emma. Sorry Athena dear. But if you want athletic then you can't go wrong with chasing a merfolk around a pool. Emma did you remember your lotion? Chlorine is bad for your scales."

Re: Heart soul and memory 4 A farewell to love (IC)
"Oh right! I should have it around here somewhere..." Emma said, digging through the saddlebag on her wheelchair, "Ah, here it is!"
She pulls out the small squeeze bottle and sets it aside, "You know, I heard other seapeople know how to filter chlorine or process it or something, but when I try it I end up just purging it out of the entire pool, which makes people mad for some reason."
"I do!" Emma shouts, and before anyone can stop her she strips out of her garments right then and there, revealing that she is wearing a emerald green bikini top in lieu of a bra, "Come on, let's go already!"

"Removing chlorine is a hazard if it is not properly moved to another location, and the chlorine is in the pool for the first place for sanitation purposes. You might consider talking to the management. Some pools make use of salt instead. If your church could find the funds, they might be able to pay to have the system replaced."

"Yeah, I think that's what the ones I have at home use," Emma says, "Although my room is probably closer to an aquarium than a pool, come to think of it... anyway, yeah, that's a good idea. I'll talk to my followers and see if that's something we can do. Thanks for the idea, Athena!"

Is the secular pool going to listen to Emma's.. religion? Ophelia lets out careful not to use the word cult.

Alice smirked at that. "Oh yeah, you'll love it for sure," she agreed.
"It's almost summer - of course I do," Alice answered, patting her purse.
Alice's eyes were glued to her the whole time, and she couldn't resist wolf whistling once Emma was done. "Nice," she remarked, giggling.Toph Pony avatar by Dirtytabs. Thanks!

"Ooh, good call, I should see if anyone else thinks about this the same way we do," Emma said.
"Thanks!" Emma replied, assuming Alice was talking about her top, "I usually wear bikini tops like this instead of bras because I'm in and out of the water several times a day. It's just easier this way."Last edited by The TechnoGnome; 2018-10-07 at 09:55 PM.

The incubus pipes up. "It's actually worse for them, most nymphs breath like amphibians. So Emma will dry out and get itchy scales. They would actually die. You want to make money; invent a non chlorine, non salt pool sanitizer."
He shuffles around his backpack quickly. "And I have my gym shorts, so close enough."

Re: Heart soul and memory 4 A farewell to love (IC)
Episode 8 Scene 3.
As you enter the indoor pool it's thankfully somewhat busy, it's a fairly warm day, but outside water hasn't had the time to warm up.
That leaves.
The indoor....
How are you going to impress the Ophelia?

Tachi
The incubus is in his element. He struts around poolside in his very abbreviated gym shorts, showing off everything. He emerges glittering from the pool and bats his eyelashes at Ophelia. "So darling, see anything you like?"

Athena on the way has been rambling about the history of water sports in a lecture that swings wildly between legitimately interesting and deathly boring.

Re: Heart soul and memory 4 A farewell to love (IC)
While Tachi might be in his element on land, Emma knows where her element is. She sets her bag gently on the nearby bench, then wheels herself as fast as she can towards an empty spot in the deep end of the pool. Her chair vaults over the edge and drops into the water, creating a huge splash that drenches anyone nearby, who in this case happens to be Tachi in his dashing pool shorts.
A couple of seconds later, the wheelchair, now lacking its former occupant, breaks through the surface and launches into the air. As it starts to come back down, an emerald green fish tail pops up and hits it with a loud SMACK, sending it flying back onto the land. Aimed with pinpoint accuracy, it ends up skidding to a halt directly next to the bench where Emma left her belonging, none the worse for wear save for being drenched in pool water.
Beneath the surface of the water, one can see the red-haired mermaid zooming around the bottom of the pool, gracefully darting between the other swimmers. Occasionally she breaks this up by jumping into the air, filling it with giddy laughter before she hits the water once again.
"What are you guys waiting for?" she yells at the people who haven't yet joined her during one of her leaps, "Come on!"
Spoiler: RollStrong Luck (+1), Fortune Talisman (Tachi, +2), +3 total. Probably a waste of a power on such a small roll, but I refuse to fail the first roll since the beach episode that Emma's gotten the chance to actually be in the water.Last edited by The TechnoGnome; 2018-10-16 at 07:24 PM.

"Good question, Tachi," Alice said as she arrived from the changing room, coming up from behind Ophelia to put one arm around her friend's shoulder. She was, of course, wearing a small pink bikini that left little to the imagination. "See anything you like, Ophelia? I sure do - several things, in fact," she added with a wink, glancing over both Tachi and Ophelia appreciatively.
She giggled as Emma's splash engulfed Tachi. "Yep, several for sure," she repeated suggestively.

Sam pops in occasionally with either some less well-known water games they could play that Athena didn't go into detail on, or gave her opinion on whether a game she brought up would work well for their group or not.

Re: Heart soul and memory 4 A farewell to love (IC)
See below post.
No doubt the nerd's carefully researched and peer reviewed discussion on water based games would have entertained someone.
Ophelia was only partly this someone.
Oh....oh wow.... You hear Ophelia mutter at Tachi as a little boy screams. "Look daddy, it's Ariel!"
Um. uh... I mean.... wow... Ophelia blushed.
Meep! She let out as Alice got all touchy feely, with both girls wearing not very much.
You can see Ophelia go as red as a beet.Avatar by Honest Tiefling

Re: Heart soul and memory 4 A farewell to love (IC)
Emma rolls her eyes at how easily Ophelia gets distracted. Then, hearing the boy's squeals of excitement, she decides to humor him a little. She swims over to the edge of the pool closest to where he's standing, then surfaces just enough to rest her arms and head on it.
"Hi!" she says, looking up at the boy with a warm smile, "You like mermaids, huh?"
