[OPEN TO ALL] Swimming Lessons

[no-use-running.livejournal.com]

Who: OPEN TO ALL interested
What: Swim Lessons: Stage 2
When: during the day into early evening (well before the coming event)
Where: at the ocean
Summary: The ocean part of the promised swim lessons!
Rating: G as far as I know. Maybe PG.

The water is relatively calm today, which makes it easier for lessons. Lucky~! It feels like any beach trip might.

Ami, clothed in shorts and a shirt over her bathing suit and wearing a whistle around her neck, wades just a short distance into the water so that it laps at her bared feet. She digs her toes deeper into the muck, unseen.

She has a few extra whistles for other instructors or helpers, and she looks over the group assembled. This is the first time she's really put herself forward like this, though she's confident in her skills. Hopefully it will go well.

(ooc: action tags, prose, anything is fine; threadjack to heart's content, pair up, random gawkers welcome as well as participants ♥)

And thus begins Ami's quest to politely find a way to never use the TARDIS' name. It would be too embarrassing! Despite her efforts not to make the situation uncomfortable, a strong blush creeps into her cheeks.

"I hope we'll get along well," she managed.

let's try this again... ;;

Well, the TARDIS picks up on that anyway. She knows the Doctor wouldn't give her a bad name, but it's difficult to account for every single culture in parallel universes. "He said it was my name. Does it mean something bad in your culture?"

lj fail -_-;

Well... To be honest...

"Ah- no," Ami assured the TARDIS quickly. "Actually, it's good, sort of. It means a girl guys really want to be with. But it's not usually a name."

major fail

Good, sort of? Well, Orangey has never been one for mincing words. Maybe she should ask her about it. If there's one thing the TARDIS hates, it's making a fool of herself and these reactions are just bad.

"Well, I suppose if it's a problem you may call me TARDIS for today."

"That might be better. For now." Ami doesn't exactly enjoy this awkwardness either. Should she really be objecting to a name?

"Tardis," she tries the new name on her tongue.

Technically it's a classification and not a name, but it will do for now. "Yes, that's it." She really doesn't want to dwell on this any more than Ami does, so how about a nice subject change? " Now, how far has this class advanced?"

Ami shakes her head. "They're each at a different level. They're coming from different worlds and experiences." Even different species; it was proving to be quite good the ratio of potential instructors to students was high.

"Not like a standard class, then. Good. It wouldn't be very sensible given the conditions. And I suppose the wings don't help." Luckily- or unluckily- she has no idea how to make a human body swim so she has nothing to relearn.

"The wings create resistance, but as long as someone has good balance to begin with, it isn't too difficult to adjust for them." At least, in her own experience.
