[open] gotta get down on...saturday

Characters: OPEN
Date: 9/7, early afternoon through night
Location: shell edge somewhere
Situation: impromptu partay
Warnings/Rating: warn in individual threads, if necessary

This is a party. Kara had the idea and Nita managed the execution. With some Green Lantern help (the universe's most powerful weapon? great for transporting buffet tables and tiki torches) a section of "beach" has been set up with snacks, a surprisingly good bar, deck chairs, and various pool toys--where Nita came by an inflatable horsey ring is anyone's guess.

As it gets closer to evening, the grill is lit and heartier foods are available, though the selection runs rather heavily to fish, since the ocean is right there and nothing can outswim either of your hostesses. That said, you owe it to yourself to try the grilled pineapple.

Anyway, you know what to do.

[OOC: Roll your own threadstarters, and remember to mark if it's open or closed!]

I didn't breathe air for the first time 'til I was 14. I can't even describe how weird that felt.

[With her head and neck above water, her gills have closed themselves again, and she's not obviously aquatic.]

I imagine the change was interesting all the same. Weird and interesting are sometimes on the same wavelength, or so I have observed.

[He has nerves, and registers sensations, like the feeling of the water currents moving against his skin, but breathing is one of those he never will. Or he thinks he won't anyway, but body-swap event...]

[littlecousin]

Oh, it was totally cool! [Literally, since it was in Antarctica.] Just weird.

[Very articulate, Nita.]

Plus, all of a sudden I realized that I could see the whole surface world if I wanted to. I mean, I'd known I could breathe air all along, it's just that doing it made it seem real.

[idavid]

I think I felt the same kind of excitement on our expedition. Once everyone was in their cryo-sleep chambers, the reality that I was going to see another world set in.

This is also my first time swimming in the ocean. The feeling is different from swimming in a pool.

The salt makes it denser, so you float better.

[Plus all the intangibles, but that is the obvious one.]
