[. . .



















When everyone wakes up as the new week dawns, they will be in for a nasty surprise. After all, IT does not forget-and IT does not forgive.

There were nine strangers in this place-but six of them are suddenly missing from their homes.]

swimming pool;

[otherworldlyking]

[ Well, he'll step into here at some point anyway, so it's not really too far-fetched for him not to catch the two doing some kind of swimming show.

But his eyes land on Hiyori. ]

Getting in some practice before the match?

Re: swimming pool;

[mermaidkin]

[The ticking continues another several seconds to get the routine to a good stopping point, but then Hiyori scrambles out of the pool practically like he's been saved. He just throws off his nose plugs after his first step on solid tile.]

I wish. This is a completely different kind of swimming. We should have trained our flexibility when we were younger if we were going to have to do something like this now.

[He's already purposefully heading to get some goggles.]

((note: I wrote "Behind the lenses" before finding out that synchronized swimming is performed without goggles, I edited "various drab supplies such as nose plugs and goggles" to just nose plugs but forgot to get rid of behind the lenses, he didn't have goggles before))

[otherworldlyking]

[ He watched the brunet scrambling out, amused at how fast he seemed to want to stop whatever...this kind of swimming classified was.

...well, it's whatever. ]

It is? Well, now it's over, so we should probably get that challenge of ours over with.

[ And the other was getting goggles. Not that he was going to bother with them, honestly. Once he was sure Hiyori was going to make good on what they agreed on, he'll go and get ready himself. ]

[mermaidkin]

Link was going to do more training in the gym, as it so happens.

[Casts his eyes over at the Hylian WEREN'T YOU, LINK. Not that Hiyori cares whether they get to be alone.]

Then it's as good a time as any for me.

[Hiyori is just standing there in his swimsuit stretching while McBurn is off... When he's back. Nod and question.]

So, what'll it be? 100m backstroke was my specialty, but there's so many options. 50m free, 100m free, breaststroke and butterfly are hard but I remember the order for IM...

[otherworldlyking]

[ For his words about Link going to train in the gym, McBurn gave a slightly amused glance as he moved to head to get redrressed for pool times.

Well when he returned with only swimming shorts on, he'll go and stand where he needed to. ]

We could do 5 laps back and forth instead. See who's the fastest in three out of three matches.

[ Time to simplify things because different measuring systems in Kiseki world and he's not about to make it overly complicated. ]

[champion_link]

[He just nods and gets out of the pool, heading over to dry off and change. He'd watch, but Hiyori has it covered - and he can always watch the footage later.]

[mermaidkin]

Ah, that's a scenario that might favor your high stamina...

[He flicks his eyes up and down the revealed build of the otherworldly man's body, exactly once, one tick each, lips not quirking, which almost makes it the exact opposite of horny.]

It'll pass the time, though. I don't mind.

[He's standing over by some lane then.]

[otherworldlyking]

You've got some yourself, right?

[ McBurn will show the other a smirk. Definitely a challenging one as he got into position.

And that's fine, sometimes you just size up a rival real well. It happens. ]

Count of three. 1, 2, 3.

[ Because he's not one for anymore idle chatter than there had to be before getting into the mood. Jumping right into the water, let's go. ]
