Circe's Manor: Re-re-redux!

[AmbushCat]

Joni: ...Well, alright. If you say she isn't, I'll just take your wo---AIGH! *slips on a bit of water, crashing to the floor* Ugh...

---

(FL-Kaoru)
Oi, Pinkie---er, Penny! Careful with your driving, please. I'm trying to set up the field here!

[Ookalf]

Ah, are you OK? *Madison offers Joni a hand up.*

---

Yeah, I hear ya... *Penny turns her raft around and lets Kaoru get back to work.*

[AmbushCat]

Joni: I... I'm alright. *leans heavily on Madison for support as she works herself upright* Oof... I didn't see that water there.

---

(FL-Kaoru)
*places the tube in the zone where Penny had just passed through, then appraises the distance between it and the net* There. Perfect.

[Ookalf]

Yeah, I figured that... Can you stand on your own?

[AmbushCat]

Joni: Yeah... just another day in the life. *gets her feet under her, standing up straight* If Lady Circe's magic hadn't strengthened my bones, I'd be feeling that one for days.

[Ookalf]

*Once Joni's up, Madison lets go of her.* Yeah, good thing...

[AmbushCat]

*With nothing to do but wait for the remaining staffers to arrive, FL-Kaoru drifts to the other end of the pool and floats on her back.*

*Meantime, Drew---previously introduced while the Harrison kids were visiting---enters the room. She circles around the pool opposite of Madison and Joni, looking incredibly smug, and enters the dressing room to take care of business.*

Joni: Mm. ... *turns in Madison's general direction, smiling* Say, did you hear about what happened to Drew while she was on shift?

[Ookalf]

You know, I actually didn't. What happened?

[AmbushCat]

Joni: *smiling throughout the explanation* It was her roomie's fault, really. See, Drew has this phobia of jellyfish, of all things. Today she had to do some work outside, and her shoes were pretty dirty by the time she was done. Sabrina knew that she'd have to take off her shoes before she re-entered the building, so she took action.

Now, close your eyes for a moment and picture what it would be like to walk barefoot and step squarely onto a live jellyfish.

[Ookalf]

Oh... That must have been pretty gross.

[AmbushCat]

Joni: *laughs* Maybe. I think it was glorious. Absolutely glorious.

[Ookalf]

Yeah, maybe...

[AmbushCat]

Joni: *still smiling* No two ways about it. Watching those two prank each other like that? Who needs reality T-VEEEEE!!!

*Someone plants a hand on Joni and Madison's backs, shoving them into the pool with a SPLASH*

[Ookalf]

Wah! *Madison falls into the pool! Delilah, who was swimming nearby, quickly flees the scene.* OK, who did that?

[AmbushCat]

*Joni resurfaces, shaking water out of her eyes. Drew, clad in royal blue and lime green, has an annoyed air about her as she steps up to the pool's edge.*

Drew: You shouldn't talk behind people's backs like that.
