[OPEN] I Want to Swim Away, But Don't Know How...

[treadwater]

Who: Undine and You
When: Mid-May, after the Battle Royale
Where: Pool Deck
Summary: Trying to remember how to relax
Warnings: Discussion of the event and violence possible


1. Flyers
Hand-written flyers on Serena Eterna stationary are posted in a few public spaces. Perhaps you run into Undine while she has an armful of them, sticking some up in the library or Playback or around the seating area of the Windjammer. They're fairly plain, words hand-written and a vague silhouette-style drawing of a person doing a swim:

SWIM LESSONS AT POOL DECK, 3PM-5PM

Apparently someone's looking to do something productive in the aftermath of all the things.

2. Swimsuit Shopping
Of course, Undine's going to stop and find herself a new, flattering swimsuit at the new Tommy Bahama before the lessons. If you're a friend, she might encourage you to join her. It's always an interesting time for her, shopping. Blue hair can clash with a lot of things, if she's not careful, but she also doesn't want to lean matchy-matchy. That's something she does in her transformed form, and she doesn't want to evoke that same sort of mood now.

"Alright, so here's the question: paisley or floral?" She's holding up both suits for a second opinion.

3. Lessons
Swim lessons go here--Undine starts everyone out in the shallow end, getting to know their level of comfort with the water. Luckily, she found some kickboards and floaties on the sports deck, so she can give lessons at all levels. She's an encouraging teacher, a bright smile on her face the whole time.

4. Free Swim
Once lessons are done, Undine gets herself a virgin pina colada from the pool bar and sits at the edge of the water, dangling her feet and relaxing. Now's a good time to talk to her about anything on your mind. Or maybe, maybe to get her to talk about what's on hers.

5. Wildcard
Same bat time, same batchannel: darkersolstice or darkersolstice#9463

"It sounds really nice. Lyon doesn't have that many parks or anything, but there's other things. The traboules are cool, they're old walkways that silk workers used to use, you can get anywhere in the city through them, some of them go underground. And only a few of the big ones get tourists, the rest are private, they just feel like a local secret. It's big and it's old, there's a lot of churches, and the food is really good."

"Secret walkways through a city sound pretty amazing. As do churches. There's not many left in the city--the closest thing to religions are, like, Foundationalists, who think that being a magical girl is a sacred thing. They're kind of all weird though."

She shakes her head. "You know, if we ever get a shore excursion that isn't something deadly, a chance to like. Go see a city, maybe we could go together and see what secrets we can discover together."

"Some of the churches are pretty amazing. I have a local one, but for big events like Easter and Christmas my family would make the journey up to the Basilica. It's on top of a hill near the city. Lot of tourists there too, usually, but it's okay for the holidays. It's kind of nice, having everyone singing together. And there's the festival of lights- Mary Mother of God helped save the city from a plague a long time ago, so we light candles in her honour-"

She caught herself getting swept away in a very un-cool manner, and Darcy cleared her throat.

"It's okay. The Foundationalists sound like they kind of suck."

And a shrug with a small smile at her suggestion, "yeah. That would be cool."
