Scout
Hall of Doors: The Beach Room
Wait, wait, wait, so the shark was friendly? God, that was such a relief.
For a moment, Riley thought the others would be turned into shark food. "Damn...we should have seen that coming. This is Nowhere after all." She grinned at both guides and watched as they tried to push each other into the water. "Is Charles the only shark here?" She asked before laughing at how soaked the guides were. Even Inadi and Jasper had been soaked, luckily, she was still nice and dry.
"Father, hmm?" Amiel looked a tad disappointed but he couldn't help but laugh at everything that was happening. "Thank you for informing me, Songbird, and humans." He gave Lesley one last wink before smiling at everyone. "It was such a pleasure to meet you, I do hope we see each other again, you're all such charming folks." The Nobody got to his feet and began dusting the sand off his chest and shorts. "Best of luck on your mission, and take care, alright?"
"You take care of yourself too," she slung an arm around Lesley's shoulders. She was aiming for his neck, but the height difference made that really hard. "Lesles will be waiting for ya, Amiel."
The Nobody laughed, waved at everyone then bid them goodbye. Soon enough, he disappeared out the door.
Shouts echoed across the room and she watched as everyone waded in the water in an attempt to chase Charles. It was nice, all of them just enjoying themselves, but it was a shame that Harper and Ran weren't present. The silliness of the day, it helped her forget about the death and chaos.
"Hey Lesles," Riley grinned from ear to ear then turned to face the soaked Jasper. "Jasper! We can't leave 'em all alone with Charles. We need to help out as much as we can too." She tightened her grip around Lesley's arm before pulling him all the way to where the albino stood. She hooked her arm with the girl's then gave both her companions a devious smile. "We leave no one behind, so come on troops! TO WAR!" And with that she ran towards the water with both her friends in tow.
Unfortunately, running on uneven sand with linked arms wasn't exactly the easiest feat. Riley tumbled into the beach, dragging both Lesley and Jasper down with her. There was an audible splash followed by laughter and as a result Charles poked his head out of the water to peer at them.
The shark narrowed his eyes then grinned toothily before diving back under. He reappeared behind Inadi and gave him a surprise tackle hug. Due to the shark's size, it sent him crashing into the water. As soon as it was done, the shark clapped its fins together and made its way towards Toby and Ace. It peeked out from under the water then blew a mouthful of water right at their faces, and then it tipped the jet ski onto its side and pressed its nose against Toby's chest.
It was lonely, swimming by himself all day, so he spread his flippers and pulled both Ace and Toby into a hug.
"Heh! For a giant, he looks really gentle--AH Jasper duck!" She pulled Jasper towards her and they managed to use Lesley as a shield. The shark sent another mouthful of water their way before leaping into the air and landing smack dab beside Songbird and Brandy. A large splash soaked all of them.
"Hey Songbird, Brandy!" Riley's bangs were covering her eyes, but she was grinning like a kid on Christmas morning. "Whaddya say we combine forces?" She slammed a fist into her open palm. "All of us against Charles, I bet we could do it."
Charles clapped his flippers together before knocking the guides into the water with his tail.
