Circe's Manor THE NEXT

[AmbushCat]

((OOC: Useless trivia: I decided recently that Viridi (Kid Icarus: Uprising and SSMB4) has the sort of voice I'd want for Drew. ))

*Drew and Joni make tracks for the dressing room, leaving Kaoru and Nozomi alone and presumably going about their business. Abby moves to the side of the pool and stays there as she waits for everyone to leave.*

(FL-Kaoru)
*swims over to begin taking down the net* Yeah, I'm good. *short pause as she works* Say, before you get back to work or what have you, would you be able to lead me to a spare guest room? Preferably one as far away from Callista as possible?

[Ookalf]

(Nice. I still need to play Uprising, myself...)

*Nozomi swims to the net to help out.* Certainly. Though, exactly how far do you want to be? This house is very large, after all...

[AmbushCat]

((OOC: I'm likely not going to get it. I was just watching the linked vid in connection with Smash Bros.-related stuff, and Viridi got my attention more or less right away. Uprising? I've seen some vids of it, and it's a few steps out of my comfort zone in terms of playability. ()^_^ Dialogue's funny, though.))

(FL-Kaoru)
*nods in thanks at the assistance and continues to work* Preferably far enough away that I won't need to hear any whale songs. *winces*

[Ookalf]

(I see...)

*Nozomi nods.* I'll see if I can put a kilometer or two between you. How does that sound?

[AmbushCat]

(FL-Kaoru)
That would be perfect, thank you. Any night where that noise doesn't keep me awake is a good night. ...Though I kind of feel sorry for the staffers who work that hallway during the night shift.

*As she speaks, Drew and Joni---back in uniform for the moment---exit the dressing room and circle around the pool, leaving through the pool room's entrance. Abby continues to stay where she is.*

[Ookalf]

*Nozomi nods.* Should I advise them to wear headphones?

*Meanwhile, Penny makes her way out of the pool room as well.*

[AmbushCat]

(FL-Kaoru)
Yes, most definitely yes. Either those or some good earplugs. *

*Abby's eyes flick towards the dressing room for a few moments, her twitching tail the only sign of her agitation.*

[Ookalf]

Then I will spread the word when I can. So, shall we get dressed now?

[AmbushCat]

(FL-Kaoru)
*finishes putting the equipment away* Okay, sure---

Abby: *a bit more emphatically than normal* Not yet. Nozomi, if everyone's out of the dressing room, nod your head once.

*Kaoru looks at the ninja, a bit puzzled by Abby's behavior.*

[Ookalf]

*Nozomi shrugs at Kaoru, then, as Delilah leaves the dressing room, nods to Abby.*

[AmbushCat]

*Abby returns the nod, then climbs out and hurries off as quickly as permissible. Kaoru looks at her as she goes, thin green lines visible behind her pupils.*

(FL-Kaoru)
...Weird... but I guess it kinda makes sense, considering what I'm detecting. *leans against the wall* May as well make idle conversation while she finishes... so, Nozomi, how long have you been working here, if I may ask?

[Ookalf]

Hm, I believe it has been around five months, now...

[AmbushCat]

(FL-Kaoru)
Only five months, huh? And you're able to get around here alright?

[Ookalf]

*Nozomi nods.* Yes. I've always had a good sense of direction...

[AmbushCat]

(FL-Kaoru)
Definite plus. And even if you didn't, I'd think that someone's sense of direction could only get better if they worked here long enough...
