Swimatorium(#5453RC) From inside the Swimatorium, you can see the hundreds, perhaps thousands, of irregular polygonal surfaces where the transparent bubbles that comprise the dome meet one another. Each reflects, and refracts, the light to some degree, so that the view through the bubbles, transparent though they are, eventually fades off into dim whiteness, like fog. The at the centre of the Swimatorium is surrounded on the two long sides and one end by rows of plastic seats in the Swimatorium's pastel colour scheme. The remaining end contains the judges' tables, the , and the entrances to the showers and dressing rooms. Along one side of the pool, a transparent partition marks off a spectator pool for aquatic creatures such as dolphins, mermaids, and the like. An underwater allows access to this. Signs are posted every so often in the spectator pool reminding people not to splash excessively, as it creates unwanted choppiness for the swimmers. (N.B. - Things marked with can be looked at.) Obvious Exits: [O]ut, and [U]nderwater Tunnel Contents: JasonRDT, Aina'(#9668CJXZ), Morticon, Skyler, Austin, Chitter, BunnyHugger, Garrison, Beltrami, Roofus_roo, Tategoi, Premchaia, Dirac, Jaxen, and Featherwing ## There are possible hidden listeners here. Premchaia rars at NBC. JasonRDT whrrr? BunnyHugger says, "OK everyone... here's the deal. This is a team event. You need to have at least one partner to compete and it should be someone from your team." Premchaia whrrrs at JasonRDT. NBC chimes G, E, C. BunnyHugger gets out a roster. Premchaia is being dragonfurniture. She's watching. JasonRDT sits on Premchaia. Aina' enter, ready to compete! Premchaia is entirely amenable to this. She now has a JasonRDT perched atop her. A Rat is selling deepfried vegetables and mushrooms from a tray. BunnyHugger says, "Everyone's going to do a 'water ballet' routine with their partner(s)." Premchaia offers Jason a fried mushroom. JasonRDT chews on it. Garrison grins and pictures BH with a rooster in her paw :) Beltrami nodnods. Garrison nods Austin says, "I think the best part of this is going to be how the Blue Network joins the Red to simultaneously broadcast coverage." BunnyHugger says, "This is going to require a lot more on the fly reacting than the events I've done before, so it's a bit experimental. You'll need to watch your partner and react to his/her moves gracefully and with aesthetic beauty." Skyler says, "Even better, Austin, I get that." NBC chimes. Tamara steps off of the floating disk that carried her up. Tamara has arrived. Kapu has arrived. Tamara carries Kapu with her. Beltrami waves to Tamara and Kapu. Tamara otttts! Bringing a new team member with her. She sits quietly with him and hopes she didn't miss anything! Kapu sneaks in with Tamara and sits down. Premchaia rars at Tamara and Kapu, playfully. o/` BunnyHugger says, "I'd recommend, unless you have a routine pre-written, that you and your partner agree on who's going to move first, who's going to finish, and take turns!" BunnyHugger says, "OK, with that roughed out, I need to get a sense of how many people are competing so I can set a time limit for routines." Beltrami points to herself and Garrison. BunnyHugger says, "Sooooooo... start signing up now." Tamara says, "I compete with Kapuott!" Kapu nodnods. Tamara sits with Kapu, looking excited! Tategoi says, "Featherwing and I are competing for the Dragons." BunnyHugger says, "I have Tamara/Kapu, Ainas, and Tategoi/Featherwing. Anyone else?" Skyler says, "Beltrami and Garrison." Beltrami points to herself and Garrison! BunnyHugger says, "Oh! Gah, of course." Garrison nodnods BunnyHugger says, "Sorry about that." Beltrami nods and signs OK. BunnyHugger says, "Sorry, I've been under a bit of strain..." Beltrami nods. Ronnie has entered the Swimatorium. Ronnie has arrived. Beltrami waves to Ronnie! Dragoncat steps off of the floating disk that carried him up. Dragoncat has arrived. Ronnie waves. Premchaia griiins at Featherwing. She flaps her wings at him. She'll cheer for dragons, why not. Dragoncat waves. Garrison waves to Ronnie Beltrami waves to Dragoncat! BunnyHugger seems to glance over at a printed copy of the SpinDizzy News that someone has discarded in the seating area. Dragoncat chuckles! "I didn't miss it this time!" Slowly, the bubbles of the Swimatorium change from pale blue to pastel pink. Featherwing giggles and snugs Dc! Dragoncat hugs Featherwing! Jaxen hrms.. Dragoncat inches over to Premchaia. "Well, you don't have to sit by the sidelines!" Morticon tries to ignore the headline. Jaxie steps off of the floating disk that carried her up. Jaxie has arrived. Niny'ah steps off of the floating disk that carried her up. Niny'ah has arrived. Dragoncat looks over to Morticon. "What's happened? Are the Doomsayers saying 'Doom' again?" Guest1 steps off of the floating disk that carried him up. Guest1 has arrived. Guest2 steps off of the floating disk that carried him up. Guest2 has arrived. Dragoncat waves to the guesties! Niny'ah glances at Morticon, "Did you ever find Sora?" Jaxie yips. Guest1 says, "Sorry we're late, sign us up for the Guest Team please!" Austin says, "Hey, Team Rocket." Guest2 says, "Yes, me too." Morticon shakes his head at Niny'ah. "Not yet. She turned off her comm." Dragoncat says, "Team rocket?" BunnyHugger grins. "Sure." Premchaia snickers at Dragoncat. "I think people would get antsy if I climbed into the water." She sparksparks between horns a few times, demonstratively. Niny'ah worrygrimaces. Beltrami waves to Niny'ah, Guest1 and Guest2! Morticon says, "We're still searching. I know we'll find her. Somewhere... somehow..." BunnyHugger says, "We haven't started yet, but we will in a moment when I've finished rolling for order." Dragoncat says, "You make electricity or something?" Tamara otts! "Niny'ah!" BunnyHugger says, "However, we do need judges." Niny'ah tentatively raises her hand, "I'll judge" Jaxen couldn't talk a new team mate into playing. :/ Tamara waves for Niny'ah to sit next to her on the benches. "New team member. Kapu!" Jukka has arrived. Jaxen yips at Jukka. BunnyHugger says, "Great, Niny'ah will be one judge, and ideally we should have a second, anyone?" Jukka mrks. Jaxie yaps at Jukka. Kapu waves to Niny'ah and then reaches up and rubs one of Tamara's shoulders. "Allo, allo." Tamara ohs. She grins. "Judge good work." Niny'ah claps Kapu on the back, "I'll be judging and I'll try not to be toooooo biased!" Premchaia headbobs at Dragoncat. "I am an electric dragon! Well, electromagnetic, but the magnetic part isn't as macroscopically used or perceptible." BunnyHugger says, "Especially since Niny'ah has teammates competing we ought to have a second for correction of any unintentional bias." Beltrami grins to Premchaia! A Rat is selling deepfried vegetables and mushrooms from a tray. Morticon looks around, "SKyler! He's a good judge." Jaxen says, "Team Yip appearently isn't going to be in this, so.. I can do it." :) BunnyHugger says, "Skyler, will you?" Morticon says, "Or maybe... Tategoi?" Premchaia grins back at Beltrami. She's not sure why the grinning, but she does anyway. Tategoi says, "I am competing with Featherwing." Morticon ohs. "Whoops." He wsa so swamped." Skyler says, "If two is enough and Jaxen wants to, that's good. Otherwise I can." Dragoncat says, "Ah... Are you sure though? I am grass. I'm not that badly tingled." JasonRDT returns. Morticon says, "Three judges is fun too..." BunnyHugger says, "Three is actually my preference if Skyler's willing to join." Jaxie rotates JasonRDT. JasonRDT spins! Wheee! Skyler says, "Sure, that's fine." Tamara fuzzes Kapu's head. "We do good in water." Tamara says, "Routine I made very good, yes?" BunnyHugger says, "Yay! Thanks!" Dragoncat shrugs. "Well, I guess if you don't want to, you don't want to." Premchaia headbobs. "I'm more suitable as dragonfurniture, right now. Though the idea of using my field sense to do move synchronization would be interesting---if I weren't so tired at the moment." Kapu nods! over at Tamara, "I like it, but I'm biased." Featherwing stares at Morti. "No trying to oust competition!" He then giggles and grins. >.> BunnyHugger says, "So that's Niny'ah, Skyler, and Jaxen as judges. Judges, you will be assigning a score out of ten, based on the skill of execution and the overall aesthetics of the routine." Beltrami nodnods. BunnyHugger says, "You will first whisper your score to me, and then when I give the word, show it to the audience." Dragoncat nods. "Kay! Guess we'll be watching a show then." Skyler says, "Will this work sort of like...right, yeah." JasonRDT uses Dragoncat as a plushie, whilst sitting on Premchaia. Hss. Morticon eyes Featherwing, "That won't happen this time. No firearms, for one." BunnyHugger says, "Same as all the events I run. n.n" BunnyHugger says, "And the order will be..." Jaxen says, "10 best, 0 worst?" Dragoncat nods to Jaxen. Xor has entered the Swimatorium. Xor has arrived. BunnyHugger says, "Yes." Beltrami waves to Xor! Dragoncat says, "Unless you get points for difficulty and execution." Xor returns, "Hello!" BunnyHugger says, "No, that's to be taken into account in the overall score for simplicity." Dragoncat giggles and nods. Skyler says, "Right, otherwise this gets complicated in a hurry. :)" Dragoncat hugs Xor! A swirl of rainbow colours spreads over the bubbles of the Swimatorium, then subsides. Xor snugs Dragoncat! JasonRDT acquires a Xor as well. JasonRDT arfs, "Hello, Xor." Garrison waves to Xor. BunnyHugger says, "OK! Order is: First the Ainas, second the Guests, third Tamara and Kapu, fourth Beltrami and Garrison, Fifth Tategoi and Featherwing." Morticon looks to the Ainas. "You heard the bunny!" Aina' salute! They start their routine.... BunnyHugger says, "Ainas, you may begin!" Aina' 72, 56, 58, and 81 stand at the side of the pool, looking virtually identical. They count softly to three, then dive into the pool from the edge one after the other, with only a split second between each. Two of them have large, glowy plastic balls. Aina' get in a wide circle, the two ball carriers next to each other. In a fluid motion, the two toss the balls up and across, and then the entire circle rotates so the next Aina catches it instead of the one originally there. They are almost perfectly synchronized, and this is repeated several times. Aina' finish the ball routine, then throw both balls to the center of the circle. The four begin to swim around the circle, quickly creating a whirlpool. The balls stay firmly in place as the swimming circle gets tighter and tighter, until each's head is nearly at the other's feet! Dragoncat hops and hugs Xor! Aina' then dive underwater, all heading for the balls. Two grab the glowing orbs and are suddenly lifted up from underneath by their sisters! Each one on top stands on both of their sisters on the bottom, such that two legs are crossed. With some effort, the pair are lifted further up as the lower pair kick with their legs, looking quite strained! Tategoi looks impressed. Garrison looks impressed too. Aina', the two on the top leap backwards and flip, diving headfirst into the water. Simultaniously, the other pair dive, all four's legs raising, forming a square. The legs scissor and bend in unison, an array of stripyness! Aina' all dive underwater, then surface a ways apart, straight up. They all begin spinning in place, using their feet and arms to stay above water, while slowly moving towards each other. Orange and green contrasting against the dark blue of the water. The motion is a little uneven, but the four come together and then rotate their placements even as they continue spinning. A little less coordinated, but the effect looks nice. Aina' finish! They stop spinning, waiting a moment for their inner ears to calm down, then take a bow and swim to the side of the pool, getting out. BunnyHugger applauds. BunnyHugger says, "By the way, before judging begins, let me clarify rules a bit further..." Jaxen hrms. Tamara claps! Kapu claps loudly! BunnyHugger says, "First, unlimited moves/poses are allowed. I'll be asking people to limit routines to five minutes; if it goes much past that I'll give a warning which means 'do one last pose and finish.'" BunnyHugger says, "Second, judges should give scores in .25 increments." Xor applauds. BunnyHugger says, "Third... there is no third. I think that's it. Judges, whisper your scores when ready." Garrison applauds Premchaia thumps her tail on the ground. o/` Premchaia doesn't have hands, you see. Morticon says, "That's confusing? Unlimited poses? 5 minutes?" A swirl of rainbow colours spreads over the bubbles of the Swimatorium, then subsides. Dragoncat says, "So, #1, 5 minutes, #2, 2.5 increments, and #3, judge when ready! Got it!" Niny'ah says, "No it isn't, Morticon" Morticon thinks, "Oh. I seeee." Morticon blushes. Featherwing says, ".25 Dc." Jukka applauds too. Quite vigorously, getting up to his hooves! It's hard to not like four tigresses performing a pretty neat aquatic routine. BunnyHugger says, "Unlimited given the time limit, since someone was asking me how many they were permitted." Dragoncat just wanted to say that judge when ready was a rule. BunnyHugger has scores from two judges, is waiting on the third. BunnyHugger says, "OK judges, reveal your scores to the audience." Niny'ah holds up a display with [ 7.25 ] Skyler writes, then holds up a 7.75 on his card. Jaxen holds up a sign labeled [7.00] Aina' all grin as they see their scores. BunnyHugger says, "That's an average score of 7.33 for the Ainas. A good show." Morticon holds up a sign labeled [Go TeamSED!] BunnyHugger says, "Guest Team is next, followed by the Land Swimmers." Jukka might've missed, but... are final scores cumulative or average? Seems like average? [OOC] Morticon says, "the 'dosign' command can be used, in the same way Jaxen and I used it." Guest2 smiles, and bows, and walks to the edge of the pool. BunnyHugger says, "Average." [OOC] Niny'ah says, "aha, you got it working?" Featherwing giggles as Morti holds up his sign Guest2 says, "This is tough because I don't think I can put on a swimsuit." [OOC] Morticon says, "Been working for years. I redid the program from scratch about a year ago to make it better. Anyway..." Jukka nods, and sits down, disappearing into the crowd again. The smell of seawater wafts into the crowd. Guest1 says, "I already got one on!" Guest2 says, "Some people have all the luck." fluffy ceases to be absent. fluffy has arrived. Garrison chuckles Beltrami nodnods. BunnyHugger says, "Guests, you can start when you're ready." Beltrami waves to fluffy! [OOC] Jaxen says, "People just forget it exists. ;)" Niny'ah laces her fingers under her chin Austin hms. Guest2 taps his fingers together and looks to his teammate. Guest1 gets into the pool and takes a position beside his teammate and begins... he paddles his webbed bird feet rapidly under the water while raising his wings up slowly until they fan around him. Then he slowly begins to turn in place with his wings still raised.

( 24 Awake / 3 Zombies ) ]-------------------------- Blue. Guest1 is blue, above all else -- with large blue eyes dominating his human head, and a crest of blue feathers in place of a head of hair. The blue feathers run down his back, and blue primary and white secondary feathers envelope his wings and drape a modest tail behind. He has no arms, save those of the wings. His human head and belly and legs -- a fluff of feathers cover its upper torso -- wear, somehow, a tight, perhaps lycra, swimsuit (flightsuit?) in black and cyan, somehow abstracting him another level from being much human or avian. The peculiar effect is highlighted by his feet, which below the ankles turn to large, orange seagull-like webbed claws. An image is available at http://www.spindizzy.org/guests/birdhuman.jpg Carrying: Copper Medal for Shooting, .., and A candy Guest2 stands as an example of a reasonably ordinary biped model of teenaged fox. His fur is a good, shaggy orange-red, with irregular white spots under his chin, and black patches that cover his paws and spindly arms and legs. The left ear stands higher, and moves more expressively than the right. He wears a loose but comfy pair of light grey shorts with pockets on the front, side, and back; and a black T-shirt promising that ''COMING SUMMER 1989'' is the new film ''Star Trek V: The Final Frontier.'' An image is available at http://www.spindizzy.org/guests/fox.jpg Carrying: Copper Medal for Swimming Race Guest2 dives in as well, swiming the breast stroke, slowly, as to raise little water. He tips sideways to spiral around Guest1. Ronnie yawns Guest1 continues turning the opposite way to Guest2. After a moment, he slowly lowers himself to his back with his wings fanned out in the water, and begins vibrating them to splash a little bit, like a little fountain. fluffy polishes Beltrami! Slowly, the bubbles of the Swimatorium change from pale green to pastel pink. Ronnie has disconnected. Guest2 slips his left arm over his head, and with a little half-kick finishes turning himself onto his back. As his shirt clings to the soggier fur--and the fur itself sends a spray of little droplets out--he swings his arm over his side, setlting to his back. He kneads at the water, spraying some foam out, more deliberately, and turns his head to look at Guest1. Guest1 lifts himself up and climbs atop Guest2, putting his webbed feet in position to be lifted. Guest2 curls his legs up and takes Guest1 in his hands. He twists his arms, sending his elbows under water first, and then, with a struggling effort, elevates Guest1 out of the water. He straightens his legs as his arms reach for the vertical. A Rat is selling deepfried vegetables and mushrooms from a tray. Guest1 triumphantly raises his wings high as he's lifted by Guest2, then leaps into the air from this position, fluttering down to land beside Guest2 half-elevated from the water... and finishes by giving him a quick beak-kiss. Guest1 (End!) Aina' clap! Guest2 smiles, and gives Guest1 a less quick pick of his own. Dragoncat appluds Austin awws. BunnyHugger applauds. Beltrami grins. BunnyHugger says, "If you guys don't mind a rule adjustment prior to judging this round -- I'm realizing that 5 minutes is too tight of a time limit for having to coordinate two people's movements, and we don't have that many entrants, so I'm going to say try to keep to 10 minutes, all right?" Jukka clap clap claps for this performance. Yay! BunnyHugger says, "The 5 minutes was based on the figure skating event I ran last time, but I forgot that two people take longer to do a routine because of having to coordinate and all. n.n So just try to keep your time as tight as you can. Like I said, this is a bit experimental for me." BunnyHugger says, "Judges?" Kapu claps for the performance, and otts! Beltrami nods. Skyler nods..."I don't think that'll affect the two performances so far, anyway!" Dragoncat straps on a pair of dragon wings around his chest. He's having trouble with his shapeshifting again. Guest1 swims out of the pool. Guest2 crawls out of the pool too, takes a few steps, and then shakes out in a spray of water! Guest1 says, "Ack!" Guest1 gets sprayed again. Guest2 says, "Oh! Most sorry, dear." Featherwing puts up a water shield using his aura... ~.~; Dragoncat chuckles. "You can probably spray a lot more water with your feathers!" Guest2 touches his wings. BunnyHugger says, "OK judges, your scores for the audience." Dragoncat will probably get drenched for his comment. Skyler holds up a 7.0. "The trouble for Team Guest is, they don't really know what they'll be when they get here, right?" Niny'ah holds up a sign labeled [6.5] Jaxen holds up a sign labeled [4.50] Garrison applauds. Tiny bubbles emerge from somewhere near the ceiling, and drift down into the pool. Tamara ott. "Tough judge!" Austin yeows. Tategoi dips his nose. BunnyHugger says, "Wow. OK, that's an average score of 6 for the Guest Team. Up next are the otters and they may start when they're ready." Guest2 says, "What's the point of only being what you know you are?" Jaxen . o O ( I must be the harsh judge, despite having a method. ^^;; ) Tamara otts, looking to Kapu! Tamara waves at the audience, then simply dives in and waits for Kapu. Premchaia hrrrrms. Then whrrrs. She cranes her head after the otters curiously. Kapu turns to the audience, gives a big wave, and then turns to the pool... and in he goes! A small, not very showy dive. Niny'ah laces her fingers and watches Tamara gets on the opposite end from Kapu in the pool, and dives all the way to the bottom. Planting her legs against the bottom, she pushes with all her otter strength, sending her towards the surface in Kapu's direction! The otter before you is Kapu Ainamu. He looks to be somewhere in his mid-20s, just old enough to have lost some of that boyish lightness in his features but well before the brightness leaves his eyes. His fur's a warm, chocolate brown, while his underfur and undercoat are more of a pale mocha. A pair of emerald green eyes wink out from beneath a black dustmop of hair, and a pair of appropriately rounded ears top his head. He stands at a rather significant six feet and a good deal of change tall, and he's got the body of a swimmer, from head to tail. A short, tuft-like poof of hair adorns the end of Kapu's chin in a rather petite little beard; aside from that, his face is clean-cut, and totally devoid of jewelry. The otter's outfit of choice leaves him rather sparsely attired! The whole of his upper body, from his long arms and broad shoulders to his toned chest all are bare and showing off the sheen of his coat. Only a pair of body-fitting black swim trunks hugging his hips, upper thighs, and tail-base in a ken-doll sort of way cover any of his fur. Like the otter's upper body, the rest of his usually long, thick tail and his long legs remain uncovered, and his big feet sport black claws at the tips of his toes. Standing at 6 feet 2 inches, Tamara the female otter looks adventurous and friendly. Thick, light brown fur covers her capable body uniformally, interrupted in many places by black spots! The spots form wavy, somewhat abstract patterns which probably make more sense when under water. Her whiskery muzzle is a darker brown along with the area around her eyes and tail-tip, giving her a bandit-like appearance. The otter's black headhair is done up in thin dreadlocks which come down to her toned shoulders. Multicolored rubber beads are woven into strands, giving her some color. Darker brown eyes seem to merge with the liquidy-black pupils in dim light. Her build is sturdy and strong, but retains the slinky properties of her species. She's a good swimmer, and just as capable on land, too. Breasts are of moderate size; large enough to be noticed, but not so large they get in the way. A thick tail, quite useful in the water, trails her body, staying slightly raised to keep it off the ground. Ears are somewhat hidden by her hair. Today she is wearing a red, two piece swimsuit. The flyback (kind of like a sports bra) top fits perfectly against her thick furred chest, while the standard V-style bottom hugs her hips, again just tight enough to fit nicely against her otter fur. Carrying: Copper Medal for Shooting(#24213C), Copper Medal for Gymnastics (Floor Exercise), Silver Medal for Springboard Diving, and Honorable Mention: Shiny Day 2012 Kapu swims away from Tamara and goes to the far end of the pool. There, he takes one large, heavy gulp of air and dives down into the pool, going all the way to the very bottom. He puts both feet against the pool floor once he gets there, and pushes off with all his might!, rocketing up towards the surface and in Tamara's direction! Tamara emerges on the surface, actually flying right out of the water, as if swimming in the air! At the same time, Kapu... Kapu breaks the water's surface and leaps into the air, streaking towards Tamara - or just below her - and...! Tamara sails overhead, the two 'stacked' for a split second as both dive back into the water at the same time, now on the opposite side they were before. The ottress swims deep to the bottom, and pushes up once again, streaming out of the water just as.... Kapu slips beneath the waves and slices down through the water to the floor, lands on it in a crouch, and pushes off again, rocketing back towards the surface just as Tamara breaks free, arcing towards her again! This time... Tamara is flying through the air beneath Kapu, her fellow otter just inches above her as they 'stack' again. She Tamara is flying through the air beneath Kapu, her fellow otter just inches above her as they 'stack' again. She grins to the audience, then takes a deep breath as the two dive again. A third time, she coasts to the very bottom, planting her feet on the ground, just as.... The smell of seawater wafts into the crowd. Kapu inhales deeply as he approaches the water, and vanishes beneath the surface with a quiet splash! He dives down to the bottom again, crouches against it, and pauses for a second before surging back up a third time! He breaks the surface with another splash and moves to connect with Tamara this time! She, meanwhile... Tamara cuts through the water again after leaping off the bottom! She emerges somewhat vertical and offset from Kapu, hooking her arm around his when the two meet mid-leap. The momentum causes the two to rotate suddenly and dramatically, thick tails streaming behind. Kapu spins about with the other otter, spinning through the air and corkscrewing. The both of them keep kicking as they land in the water to keep the momentum going, spinning about like a shiny top! Tamara kicks as well, the two becoming something of a blur. Suddenly, they both let go, sending them opposite directions across the pool! Already, she's diving and getting ready for... Kapu streaks away from his partner, coursing through the water, and vanishing beneath it for a moment before surfacing, and ... pausing, facing the audience and standing there for a moment, treading water! PatchO'Black has entered the Swimatorium. PatchO'Black has arrived. Tamara suddenly pushes up from the bottom, 'pouncing' her otter friend from behind! It looks a little awkward and she didn't get it quite the way she wanted, but she recovers by gracefully standing up on his shoulders, using some rather slinky moves. She balances easily, waving to the audience and grinning between pants. Kapu pushes up and lifts! Tamara ends up standing on his shoulders as he rises out of the water, at least a foot, and circles around a bit, letting Tamara face each side of the pool in turn! Then, he starts to walk towards the audience, only stopping about half-way there! A swirl of rainbow colours spreads over the bubbles of the Swimatorium, then subsides. Tamara leans back in a way that not all critters can, arching her back at a pretty severe angle as her head and upper body r-enter the water. Then, she forces Kapu back as well, the otter's whole upper body underwater, leaving Kapu to... Kapu hugs Tamara's legs as he falls back, and falls back into the water with her! He lets her guide the dance next, with his legs rising above the water before the rest of him... Tamara rises, holding Kapu upside down and out of the water! She keeps him like that for just a few seconds, then lets him go. The two go underwater, then come together and flex that they form an otterball, legs kicking.... Kapu waves his feet at the audience, and then splashes back into the water with her! The otter kicks at the same time as Tamara, and their spinning quickens unti lthey surface, splashing about as he rotates! BunnyHugger holds up a card indicating "Time about up!" Tamara continues kicking, and the pair spin about, half way above the surface, water being spun off their furry bodies for a good 30 seconds. Then, she releases and they separate. With that, the routine finishes! She otts and heads to the an edge to get out. BunnyHugger applauds. Kapu bellows out OTT! in unison with Tamara, and swims to the edge of the pool while waving to the audience, and climbs out! BunnyHugger says, "Judges, your scores please!" Tamara looks exhausted. She lays by the side of the pool, panting heavily! Tategoi says, "turns to Featherwing. "I think it will be difficult to beat that, I'm afraid. They are too well matched."" Featherwing nodnods. "We'll do our best though, and that's all that really matters." JasonRDT has disconnected. Guest1 says, "I'm predicting high scores, Guest!" Jukka applauds quite heartily! That was quite a performance! The deer claps and whistles, though he doesn't whistle too loudly. Not really cut out for that sorta thing. BunnyHugger says, "Reveal your scores, judges, please." Tamara lifts her head, grinning at Jukka and the others cheering. BunnyHugger says, "Up next will be Beltrami and Garrison, when the judging is finished." Skyler holds up a 7.5. "There was a lot to keep track of for time! But pretty well executed, I think." Featherwing applauds politely and focuses on the pool. Niny'ah holds up a sign labeled [8.0] Beltrami nodnods and pulls herself by her hands to one corner of the pool, and watches for Garrison to match the far corner. Jaxen holds up a sign labeled [9.50] The bubbles of the Swimatorium deepen from a pale pink to a sudden, intense red. The building seems to glow for just a few seconds. BunnyHugger says, "That's an average of 8.33 for Team Land Swimmers, with Skyler being the lowball judge this time!" Tamara otts! Garrison looks to Beltrami and matches her on the opposite corner. BunnyHugger says, "Beltrami and Garrison, when you're ready." Tamara sits up against the wall, to watch the others. Kapu leans next to Tamara, looking quiet tired. Jaxen grins, tail-swishing. Premchaia grins. Garrison nods to BH and then looks to Bel. Dragoncat claps. Beltrami nods to BunnyHugger. She nods to the far corner, and Garrison, and then taps her right hand. She pushes- gently- off, taking a drifting, pool-toy-slow, path toward the middle. Beltrami is a balloon mermaid, with a smooth transparent air-filled vinyl body. While shaped as a human from the waist up- and sized right to be about six feet tall- from her waist her body flows into a pleasant, dolphin-like lower half, with tail-fins that flex loosely. She's got a modest, hand-sized dorsal fin, too. She has a neatly human head, except for dragon-like ear-fins that fold backwards. At the base of her tail- between the fins, front and back- are a pair of air nozzles, and a similar pair are on the sides of her hips. Twin clear but glowing baseball-size globes swing on her thin deelybop antennas. Beltrami wears no shoes, but Mischa is a set of wrist bands and a necklace with teardrop pendant. Around her waist is a silver belt with a ruby jewel center. The jewel sparkles with a flickering blue-fire light. The belt has no seam or buckle obvious. Carrying: Copper Medal for Shooting, Copper Medal for Springboard Diving, 3D Blackboard, Operator Palette, and a peek-a-boo icecream sandwich Garrison is a skunkbased mermaid, her skunkshaped head and torso flowing into a dolphin like lower half, with tail fins that flex loosly. Carrying: Skunk tail cover comoflage, Best Costume Trophy, radio, Fox-ears headband (Fox camoflage from Ali (Worn), Bronze Medal for Ice Sailing, A candy valentine heart, a peek-a-boo icecream sandwich, A&W rootbeer barrel, An ice cube, Beltrami for Wizard in 2012 campaign button, Button- Vote to Keep Love Day!, Fox-Eared Boater Hat, Grandpa's brew, Holiday Candy Ribbons, Kandy Korn, Popcorn with cheddar cheese topping, and SpinDizzy Easter Crew Badge Garrison matches Bel's movements as she goes in drifting towards the middle in the opposite direction towards her. Beltrami rolls partly, that she can spiral closer toward the center. As Garrison curves to match, she taps her left hand in the water, and hoists her tail up, bringing the drift to a stop. Garrison drifts owards Beltrami, matching the spiral, arching her own tail up at the same time. Beltrami taps her hand, and claps her tail down, sending a spray of water sideways and kicking herself back into motion! Garrison duplicates the motion, sending an equal amount of water spraying in the other direction. Beltrami spreads her arms wide, slowing her to resume the toy-drift speed.

( 23 Awake / 2 Asleep / 3 Zombies ) ]--------------- Garrison spreads her arms wide as she floats toward Beltrami again. Beltrami tips her head sideways, catching Garrison's look, as their fingers tap together. Beltrami taps her right hand, and raises her tail, curled to the left this time. BunnyHugger holds up a card to indicate "Time's about up." Garrison nods to Beltrami as she raises her tail, nodding to her. Beltrami nods. She taps her hand, and claps the water with her tail, as Garrison matches. Beltrami takes hold of Garrison's hand, raises her free hand, and swings Garrison over to lift into the air, a handstand atop her arms. A Rat is selling deepfried vegetables and mushrooms from a tray. Royce steps off of the floating disk that carried him up. Royce has arrived. Garrison spreads her arms out as she is lifted Beltrami sways her hands, swinging Garrison at the water- and lunging her up- until the two stand on their tails, like a pair of cards, drifting slowly apart on the surface of the water. Beltrami unfolds her fingers from Garrison's, and presses her arms out as the pair drop down, and separate, drifting to the middle edges of the swimming pool. BunnyHugger applauds. Beltrami flips her tail up to catch the pool rim. Beltrami smiles. BunnyHugger says, "Judges, what say you?" Tamara ottts! Xor applauds (and applauds belatedly for people who've gone while it's been idly). Garrison does likewise, once more matching Bel, then watching the Judges. Premchaia rars. o/` Beltrami swings around to sit up on the edge of the pool. Kapu claps! Jukka applauds quite a bit, having enjoyed that show! BunnyHugger says, "Up next will be Tategoi and Featherwing, and then we have a last minute entry from Xor and Dragoncat, who will be competing for the Dragon Team." BunnyHugger says, "Judges, you can show your scores." Garrison swims over to the edge, swinging her tail over out of the pool. Jaxen holds up a sign labeled [5.25] Niny'ah holds up a sign labeled [5.75] Premchaia cheeers! Well, more accurately she plays pink noise through her voice assist. Skyler holds up a 7.5. "What routine was done was very well synchronized, I must say!" Slowly, the bubbles of the Swimatorium change from pale blue to pastel yellow. BunnyHugger says, "That's an average of 6.17 for the Otherwise Other Team." Tamara awws. "I like. Had art to it." BunnyHugger says, "And the Dragon Team -- er, the first Dragon Team will go when they're ready." Premchaia also mistimes things a bit. She really is kind of tired. Beltrami smles to Tamara and touches her chin. Kingyo Tategoi is a fish, perhaps two feet long, with the wide body and whiskers of a carp. His coloration is quite striking: white scales and fins are accented by large, sharply-defined orange-red patches on his back and face. By all appearances he would be a koi, if it were not for the double tail -- split in two like a fantail goldfish's, it sways gracefully as he swims. You might take him for a koi, or you might take him for a goldfish -- and either way you'd be half-right. A silver dragon with black feathered wings stands before you his wings flapping gently. He regards yuo with a toothy grin, then beckons you over into his area. He is chibi, 2'6" tall with a 15' wingspan. He is unique among his clan as his wings are different from the rest of his clan, the LunaStar Clan. They have feathers! He has a warm outgoing personality, and yet another unique trait among his clanmates is his ability to shift back into a 9'8" size... He is lightweight and very cute while chibi... (A note is shown that says he disregards the macro/micro proportionisms) Carrying: Gold Medal for Shooting, Bronze Medal for Swimming Race, Bronze Medal for Springboard Diving, Featherwing's Amulet, White Ribbon for Ridership, A Sashimi Plate, A Seal Plush, A&W rootbeer barrel, Aina Figurine, BunnyHugger for Mayor Button, candy bone, chocolate coins, Edgeworld Park plush bunny, Grandpa's brew, gumdrops, gummy eyeball, Holiday Candy Ribbons, Kandy Korn, Lantern Candy, Milk Duds, Neapolitan Coconut Bar, SED Multi-Function Keychain Souvenir, Silver Hot-dog Pin, strawberry, Twelfth Night ornament, and Your Very Own Kelp Bed Tategoi swims from the spectator pool into the performing pool and gets into position. Jukka is gonna have to call it a night, being rather tired, but he'll read the results in the news or watch the reruns on YouTube. Jukka leavess the Swimatorium. Jukka has left. Beltrami pulls herself by her arms away from the pool and back to Roofus. Garrison smiles to the complements and hugs Beltrami. Featherwing nodnods, and takes his starting spot. Tategoi swims around Featherwing, doing a sort of dolphin swim, popping up and down out of and back into the water as he goes, tracing a wavy path around his teammate. Featherwing smiles and turns in place, wings outstretched to signify strength. He gives a big grin as Tategoi swims around him. Red_Lantern has entered the Swimatorium. Red_Lantern has arrived. Tategoi swims two circuits underwater around Featherwing... building speed... then bursts up out of the water and makes a tremendous leap all the way up over Featherwing! Dragoncat waves to the Red Lantern! Red_Lantern waves. Amethyst has entered the Swimatorium. Amethyst has arrived. Featherwing keeps an eye on Tategoi as he jumps, and holds out his claws to catch the fish! The dragon treads water all the while, with a big grin on his face. Tategoi holds out his fins and arches his back to pose as he's held up. Tategoi flashes his tail side to side, gleaming in the bright light, then he dives back into the water. Tategoi dives underneath Featherwing... then Featherwing kicks his feat and pops up into the air just as Tategoi comes up underneath him, appearing to lift him on his nose! Tiny bubbles emerge from somewhere near the ceiling, and drift down into the pool. Featherwing holds his hands up, then smiles, wings still unfurled widely. He then looks at Tategoi, with a sight of awe written across his scaly face. Tategoi gets out of the way as Featherwing splashes back down. Then he finishes by leaping high over Featherwing, clearing the dragon's outstretched wings. As he lands, he "treads water" with just his tail, holding his pectoral fins outstretched in an oddly human pose, and finishes with this pose. Featherwing splashes down after a bit of a spiral, then puts a wing around the fish, hands stretched up. He then bows and holds up a sign that says, "The moral? Great strength often comes in small packages!" BunnyHugger applauds. Morticon holds up a sign labeled [Wooo! I agree!] Tategoi swims back to the spectator pool. The bubbles of the Swimatorium deepen from a pale green to a sudden, intense emerald. The building seems to glow for just a few seconds. BunnyHugger says, "Judges, your scores for me please." Morticon being small himself! Dragoncat giggles and appluds! Guest1 says, "Guest, that was pretty cool wasn't it?" Kapu applauds laudly! BunnyHugger says, "Up next we have a last minute final entry from Xor and Dragoncat, who have agreed for their performance to count toward the Dragon Team." Premchaia thumps her tail against the ground. o/` Guest2 says, "It was, Guest. Quite some control over the body." BunnyHugger says, "Judges, your scores can be shown now." Skyler holds up his card, with an 8.25 written on it. Jaxen holds up a sign labeled [7.75] Niny'ah holds up a sign labeled [7.75] BunnyHugger says, "That's 7.92 average for the Dragon Team." Xor applauds. Dragoncat walks up to the side of the pool, next to Xor. BunnyHugger says, "Dragoncat and Xor can go when they're ready. We are a bit over time now so please try to keep it concise if you can!" Xor expands and shifts into an irradiated dragon. Featherwing nodnods and waves as he goes over to Tategoi. He noses the fish, "We did well." :3 Guest2 holds Guest1. Tategoi says, "Good work, teammate." Xor nods to Dragoncat. "At your leisure, sir." Dragoncat nods to Xor, and dives into the pool, head first and uses his tail to propell himself across the water, twirling across the surface, and onto his back, watching Xor prepare to dive in. Xor looks very uncertain about this whole "water" business, and edges up on tip-talons to the pool, peering down into it. Then, rolling onto his side, he keeps on rolling, right into the pool. There's a mighty splash as he dumps in, with water going everywhere. And a good deal of it instantly evaporating. That can't be healthy. Dragoncat rolls around the surface of the water, tumbling a bit from the unexpected wave, but easily recovers, and dives down to surface, darting side to side until he makes a wide circle around the bigger dragon. Name: Alkaryiske Nick: Dragoncat Age: 23 Height: 2'0" A small serpentine creature stands about two feet tall and mostly green in colour, with a cream underside. An obvious example of a pokemon, a snivy to be exact. He has a rounded head and a triangular snout, with the bottom half a cream colour. Each of his red eyes are surrounded by a yellow circle, covering the eyelids, and a streak that leads down to the neck, almost appearing as a monocle when viewed from the side. His arms are small, but they seem dextrous. Though it is doubtful he can really manipulate anything large with those small hands. His feet, while very short in size, don't deny him any speed or agility. Yellow frills curl around his shoulders, and meet seemlessly around his back, over a single dark yellow streak that runs just above the base of his neck, and stops at the base of the trio of leaves at his tail. Currently, he isn't wearing any clothes, but he does have a pair of small, green, rubber dragon wings strapped around his chest to compensate for his lack of his proper form, along with his trademark satchel and his sapphire pendant around his neck. Carrying: Silver Staff of Zeux, Bronze Medal for Snowball Fight, Satchel, Dragonwing Wristbands, Dragoncat's Mana Stone, A Seal Plush, Beltrami for Wizard in 2012 campaign button, Fox-Eared Boater Hat, Holiday Candy Ribbons, Model SpinDizzy, Snap Valentine, and Twelfth Night ornament Well, this is an... interesting creature. A soft aura of jade light emanates from forest-green scales, which sets off any Geiger counters in the area. Xor is quite obviously a Western-style dragon, though perhaps "nuclear dragon" would be more accurate. He's not a particularly large dragon; about twenty feet (six metres) from head to tail in length, and seven feet (just over two metres) from the top of his head to his talons, when on all fours. Typically, his length can't be easily judged, however; he's often half-curled up, perhaps around a friend. His voice comes out as a softly-rumbling baritone, but similar to the way he typically sounds. Starting from the top up, there is another odd thing about him- a large stovepipe hat is nestled between his two ivory, curling horns. Beyond this, though, he's rather normal: light blue eyes with slit pupils, elongated snout, mustard-yellow ridges along his back. His body isn't terribly bulky, instead slender- for a dragon. It looks a bit puffed-out, though, due to the two large wings folded against his back. Unfortunately, because they're styled after the typical artistic depiction, they're still too small to allow for flight. His hind feet are plantigrade, ending in long, curved talons; his forefeet are the same, though they have thumbs, and can also be used as hands. His tail constitutes half of his length, ending in a conic bulb. Carrying: Copper Medal for Gymnastics (Floor Exercise), Tinkering Kit, Button: Skirt Enthusiast, Best in Show Ribbon, Adh Venturo Feather Duster of Cleaning +23i, Morph Menu, Homburg, a peek-a-boo icecream sandwich, a rusty syringe, Beltrami for Wizard in 2012 campaign button, and Twelfth Night ornament Royce leavess the Swimatorium. Royce has left. Xor looks soggy and displeased, with little hisses of steam coming off of his face as he peers around, trying to catch sight of Dragoncat. His hat's floated off, somewhere, and he moves to catch it, before catching sight of his swimming partner. "Oh! Hello, there." Apparently not quite catching the idea of the event, he just stares at Dragoncat, growing dizzier and dizzier, and eventually stumbling backward into the water. NBC seems to be stifling a squawk, his foot over his beak. A lot of fans are wearing yellow plastic hats that look like fishheads. Red_Lantern is glommed down and swept away by a plastic hippopotamus mouth. Red_Lantern has left. Featherwing :x Dragoncat blinks at Xor, surprized to see him sink down, and stops in one place, waiving his arms up, trying to encourage Xor to rise up again. "Pppst! You need to swim so we can see you!" Xor emerges again, from beneath Dragoncat, wearing him as though he were a hat. "Er... Dragoncat? Where'd you go? Do stop disappearing like that." Beltrami blinks. Dragoncat clings onto Xor's head, squeaking in surprize after he ends up getting lifted out of the water, but the water proves to make the scales slippery, and the snivy begins to slide down the dragon's back, and sumersaulting and tumbling down to the side into the water. It's not as graceful as it may have sounded. Xor whirls around at the noise, then locates Dragoncat, eyeing him. "What are you doing over there?" he inquires, as he starts absent-mindedly swimming in ovals. BunnyHugger shakes her head a bit... and holds up a card indicating time is about up. A Rat is selling deepfried vegetables and mushrooms from a tray. Dragoncat had managed to grip and grab hold of the dragon's tail, slapping over the surface of the pool, trying to hang on and manages to find his way out of the pool, rolling out onto the deck and sliding to a stop. Xor, who's utterly bewildered, notices the car. "Uh." He wiggles his foretalons in the air. "Ta-da." And with that, he clambers out. Xor card, rather. BunnyHugger says, "Uh... should I call for medical assistance? Oh, I guess he's all right." BunnyHugger applauds. Kapu claps! Tamara otts confusedly, but claps too! BunnyHugger says, "Judges?" [OOC] Xor applauds Dragoncat for being such a patient straight-man. [OOC] Kapu offers up much OOC applause, too, hehe. Dragoncat holds up an arm. "I'm ok!" You say, "Hah, hah, hah."

Jaxen chuckles. :) JasonRDT equips Deec! "What did I miss?!" BunnyHugger says, "All right and with that the final rankings are..."
