THE POOL'S HEEEEEERE!

[—is what everyone is going to hear as Aoi sprints across the Bastion. She flings her sweatshirt off, leaves it on the ground as she goes, and launches herself through the doors of the new building not far from the forge.

Anyone nearby will hear a resounding SPLASH through the doors, left wide open, as Aoi cannonballs into the deep end of the pool, shorts and tank top and all.

If anyone checks in on her, she's swimming rapid laps from one end of the pool to the other down the middle of the center lane, pausing at the ends every now and again to laugh, absolutely delighted, and wave at anyone who's shown up.] C'mon in, the water's fine!

[ Congratulations, Aoi, you've made one (1) new friend! Tirtouga's very happy with the pets, and looks at Aoi with concern when she floats back up.

What's wrong with staying underwater? Do you not have the means to stay underwater for a long time, human friend? ]

tou?

[Aww, her new turtle friend is worried about her! How cute can you get? She reaches over to continue providing head-pets, now featuring at least 50% less being underwater.]

Sorry I can't stay under with you! Even a swimmer's lungs only hold so much air. [God, this is the third animal she's had a conversation with today; they can't understand you, Aoi.]

[ Tirtouga's learning, at least. He's been around the humans at the daycare center enough to understand ... a little bit. But not much.

So, Aoi is met with a very confused stare before the pets start up again. Pets are a good thing to focus on. ]

[Pets pets pets! The pets keep up for a few moments longer before Aoi suddenly backs a couple of feet away. There's a mischievous little glint in her eye, like she's starting to scheme—but first she has to figure out if Tirtouga's going to follow her.]

[ourlegends]

[ What, why did the pets stop? Tirtouga watches her for a few moments before slowly following .... ]

[Yeess, good. Grinning, she backs up a little farther, a little faster, towards the other wall of the pool—that'll be their starting point if this keeps working.]
