We hope you're ready to dive into a fun Caribbean adventure!
The entry way to this event will lead you through a wide pathway with lockers along both sides of the walls. You can use these to store any/all of your belongings while you're out and splashing around! No worries, they'll be kept safe, dry, and waiting for you upon your return! And while everyone is strongly encouraged to wear bathing suits already under their clothes prior to showing up, there are some portable changing rooms and restrooms that can be found just on the other side of the locker area.
Just realized you've forgotten something? Don't sweat it because your student leaders have thought of it all! If you go a littler further beyond the benches, there's a large table full of "extras" sitting out for you. The Prefects have left you with goodies such as extra sunscreen, water goggles, nose/ear plugs, towels, water bottles, and floaties! Though the benches look inviting, try not to spend all of your time here 'cause there's plenty more to do out there!
Seventh years entering the event: Don't forget to sign the Memory Book before you leave! It is sitting on its own stand as soon as you come in. You can't miss it!
~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
The only thing Adi was taking with him after removing his outer clothing was a neatly wrapped package that contained Lux's birthday present. He stashed all his other belongings except his sunglasses which he had swapped with his regular specs today in one of the lockers. He grabbed a towel, pausing before the Memory book.
Thank Merlin he had another year before he wrote in that. He thought of Bevvy, Kace, Tobias and his other soon to be graduated friends. At least there was still time to hang out with them... and pull a prank or two. Mwahahaha!
With that thought, the Hufflepuff strode towards the fun on the outside.
A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.
A prefect event was something they hadn't had back at Charms school so Yoongi was really curious as to what it was. From the information he had gathered, he learned that it was a thing every year in which all the Prefects had come together to organise a thing, this time it was water fun.
Having been stressed all throughout his fifth year, Yoongi could do with some relaxing. He stopped in front of an empty locket and pulled his shirt over his head and pulled down his pants. He already had his swimming pants under it, a blue one that matched his black eyes, in other words everything he wore looked good on him if he said so himself. He stored his possessions in the locker and then grabbed a bottle of sunscreen with a floatie he could lie on in the water.

Somehow Prefect events didn't hold the same excitement for Lux anymore. Maybe because she wanted desperately to go home. Ever since the attack, it had been so hard living here. Before, the only thing keeping her here was Potions since it was important for her future career, and now she didn't even care anymore. She wouldn't be coming back to Hogwarts next term.
Her swimsuit was on under her clothes, and since she was wearing a dress it didn't take her too long to get ready. Everything she didn't need was placed in an empty locker. She had brought her own Little Mermaid towel and sunglasses so she was good to go. ...Or maybe not. After considering for a moment, she grabbed one of the sunscreens from the table. One could never be too careful, she thought as she applied it.
Hi hello yes Toby was here and MEGA EXHAUSTED. Honestly, ever since the exams had ended, he'd spent his time pretty much sleeping almost solidly. Because of the energy it had taken to get through them and the studying, and because sleeping was a good way to fill the empty time he spent alone. But he wasn't sleeping NOW. Now he was strolling on into the prefect event with a particular Ravenclaw up on his back.
It was tradition for Toby to give Sophie Brown a piggy back ride into the Start- and End-of-Term Feasts, and even though today WASN'T a feast, he was still gonna keep that tradition. It would feel too weird to stop now, at his last ever... thing. Feast. Not-feast. Event.
Stopping in place right where all the lockers were, Toby glanced up at Soph. "You Prefects are a sneaky lot," he commented, quite matter-of-factly. Fancy having something like THIS planned. Merlin. Toby smiled. "Where d'you wanna head first?"
As he said it, Toby started forwards again and looked back down to see where he was going, at which point he spotted the memory book. Oops. He'd needed to, uh... stop by there at one point.

It had been a long.....long....long....long....long year. Too long in Ilia's opinion. This was her first end of term at Hogwarts, she had heard that they normally did an end of term feast, much like they had done at the start of the term. It seemed , however, that the prefects had a little something else in mind. Not that this was a bad thing. She did as suggested and wore swim wear underneath her black attire of jeans, boots, and a long sleeve shirt.
Trying not to think of eight legged freaks coming out of nowhere to spread webs around, she opened a locker in which to place her satchel......and she guessed her clothes... She would need her towel and there was no way she would be removing her wand.......but swimwear would look more acceptable at least.
Feeling jumpy, she decided to wait for her best friend though and pulled out her cover up skirt for after changing. She scanned around for webs or crawlers once more......just to be sure.....

This whole event thing sounded exciting. He liked his traditional feasting, there was nothing wrong with that, but this was going to be all sorts of fun. Zeke had dressed for the occasion, with board shorts, a simple T and flip flops... he did however forget one thing. A towel.
Naturally, he had found Hady on his way down from the castle and dragged her with him, so he pulled her by the hand, eager to get into the water... or did he want to gorge himself first? What was that rule with eating and swimming? Did it matter? Was it even legit?
He didn't care.
"What did you want to start with?" he asked, deciding it would be the gentlemanly thing to do. Ladies choice.
Pausing at the entrance, he scanned the lockers and the benches, and THERE ... there were backups for those like him. "I just need a towel," he said, dropping Hady's hand to grab one.

So, what did she think?
]
There was only one thing that could describe this non-feast thing.
Awesome!
Cause seriously what teen didn't love food, swimming, games and hanging with friends? This was gonna be a blast!
So when she heard about what was going on naturally she knew she would be going. Dressed in a multi-colored green two piece (the kinda that's more like a tank top though) and some matching flip flops Hady was heading outside. Or we'll she had been when she was grabbed and dragged along by none other then a Lion.
Laughing happily as her thoughts of spiders and such we're pushed to the back of her mind she let herself be pulled along. She made sure to check everything out as they passed by just so she'd know what choices they had.
"Uh swimming or food?," She suggested with a shrug as she waited for him to grab a towel. Of course Hady knew how much Zeke liked food and wouldn't pass that up. Plus they had ALL day to have a great time.
Of course,Henric had a pumpkin pie in his mouth as he made his way to the locker rooms. He didn't think this event would have any of his favourite pie in the menu so... he had one before he went. It was really brilliant of the prefects to come up with such an event for them! It was a far cry from the mundane end of term feast they usually had. Temporarily forgetting the bad things that happened this past term, Henric should be happy that he had his arm cast removed finally! He couldn't wait to start playing in the waters again. He wished he brought along one of his muggle water guns with him...man...it would be so much fun to shoot someone with it! He scanned for any available lockers for him to put his things but stopped when he saw the back of a familiar looking long blonde hair of his bestie not far from where he stood. Woah...Henric blinked at her swimwear outfit and quickly looked away to the locker on his side. Calm down...calm down...its just your bestie, llia....yeah...he got this...ahem.He blew out a breath and rearranged his face. When he turned back around again,his grin glow brighter than usual as he waved excitedly towards llia,"Hey llia!" He hoped he wasn't too underdress for the occassion.His themed outfit consisted only a light pink collared basic which he left it unbuttoned,yellow swim trunks(he gotta represent his house colours y'know) and a towel around his shoulders. "Lets go grab something to eat, what do you think?"he asked, smiling.

So it was the prefect event...so he had to support Adi at the very least.
And it also was the changed-up end-of-term feast...so it felt required.
But really, Benny wasn't all too certain he really wanted to be there. With the drama involved in the latter portion of the term, the Gryffindor was feeling out of it. Sometimes it almost seemed like he might be a little messed up because of it. Whatever the case, the sixth year was dressed in a tshirt and jeans, the latter of which he took off to reveal swim trunks and stashed them in a free locker. He could at least pretend to be into all of what had been planned.
He then turned around as he closed the locker door only to suddenly spot Ilia and Henric there before him. Or rather there, handling their own belongings. One of the taken and one of the rescuers. "Um...hey..." Benny said simply, not about to rude and just ignore them. Though maybe he should move on and leave them be.
Henric turned around when he heard a quiet voice greeting behind them. Oh..it was Benny! Hello there...fellow dragon enthusiast.He hoped Benny hadn't have any bad feelings towards him still. "Hey Benny! Uh..I mean..Benjamin...nice to see you again...umm do you want go and grab something to eat with us?"he asked and grinned. Yup...no hard feelings... he just wanted to get past that and have fun!
Toothless - Napoleon of Crime - Gryffinclaw - Owl Emissary - Pirate Auror - DoctorDonna
Henric turned towards him and Benny stopped himself from leaving the area. Granted, they didn't seem to be still on the fiercly hostile terms they had been on while he had been worried of loosing Adi to him, but the sixth year wasn't sure of where they exactly stood nowadays. The younger boy's greeting was friendly enough, the lion inwardly winching but not for his nickname for once. His full name reminded him of the fight they had had.
"Benny's fine," he remarked absently as he dealt with what followed after. Benjamin almost felt weird after all the years of being called Benny by some. Benny didn't know if it was nice to see him since he was in danger of being shy again. "I suppose..." he finally answered, looking between the two. Ilia hadn't responded but she was surely free to say no.
Hi hello yes Toby was here and MEGA EXHAUSTED. Honestly, ever since the exams had ended, he'd spent his time pretty much sleeping almost solidly. Because of the energy it had taken to get through them and the studying, and because sleeping was a good way to fill the empty time he spent alone. But he wasn't sleeping NOW. Now he was strolling on into the prefect event with a particular Ravenclaw up on his back.
It was tradition for Toby to give Sophie Brown a piggy back ride into the Start- and End-of-Term Feasts, and even though today WASN'T a feast, he was still gonna keep that tradition. It would feel too weird to stop now, at his last ever... thing. Feast. Not-feast. Event.
Stopping in place right where all the lockers were, Toby glanced up at Soph. "You Prefects are a sneaky lot," he commented, quite matter-of-factly. Fancy having something like THIS planned. Merlin. Toby smiled. "Where d'you wanna head first?"
As he said it, Toby started forwards again and looked back down to see where he was going, at which point he spotted the memory book. Oops. He'd needed to, uh... stop by there at one point.
Rocking some oversized sunglasses, a messy bun, and her favorite swimsuit, Sophie Brown was all READY TO GO. She'd even worn sunscreen AND brought the bottle in the bag on her back just in case someone else forgot theirs. Super thoughtful of her, right? She PROBABLY normally wouldn't have cared, but this was a PREFECT event and she was a prefect, one of the eight people who were, like... running the whole thing. So she HAD to plan ahead a bit.
And she'd been TOTALLY game to accept a piggy back ride to the event from Tobes because - well, why not? He was LEAVING HER FOREVER soon so she kind of never wanted to leave his side. It was a bit unfortunate for him, really, because she'd practically made herself attached to his hip - or, well, his back, in this case, as she held on as her piggy-backed her to the entrance of the whole grand event.
When her Hufflepuff "steed" came to a halt beside the lockers, Sophie let herself down from his back and chose to loop her arm with his instead. He'd carried her the WHOLE way there, and she hadn't let him know yet that she actually had, like, a JOB to do, but... the next place they had to go - well, SHE had to go - she didn't want him to have to carry her up all those stairs, if he wanted to come, too.
She gave him a sheepish smile at his question, though, and hugged his arm as she responded with dazed sort of sigh, "Yeah, we are." Sneaky, that was. "M'actually assigned to the top of the slide there," she pointed to the HUGE waterslide that was gracing the grounds of Hogwarts. "S'like my station or whatever. M'supposed to, like, make sure everyone waits their turn and people don't go more than one person at once or do stupid stuff." Realistically, she SHOULD have probably gotten there earlier because it looked like people were already running for the slide to take their turn, but... oops. Sorry, Hogwarts, Tobes was a TOP PRIORITY RIGHT NOW.
"Y'wanna come with? It's wicked - there's all those twists 'n turns 'n stuff and the water propelling you down makes it SUPER fast and y'can bonk Zander on the head when y'get to the bottom, 'cause he's supposed to be stationed there to make sure everyone gets out okay 'n stuff." Give him a kiss from me or something, she almost added as a joke, but like... two concerns there: 1) Tobes might get mega uncomfortable at the suggestion, OR 2) Tobes would think it's hilarious and actually DO it.
Though all things considered, the second option kind of... well, heh. Soph certainly wouldn't object to that turn of events.
Ilia took a moment, folding up all of her black clothes neatly into the locker. She wore a white vintage one piece and tied a sheer green cover up skirt around her waist. The thin blonde was rather shy and as of late, highly self conscious and vulnerable feeling. It wasn't common to see much of any skin besides her face to start with though.
Ilia finished putting everything up besides her wand which remained in a waterproofed leather holster on her forearm. It had become a permanent accessory for the snakette, much like the silver runic bangles which never left her wrists and ankles.
She turned to see the owner of a locker just across from her........and it was none other than who she had been waiting for. She had never seen him in such little clothing and blushed a little at his glowing smile and exuberant waving. Trying to get herself together and putting her expression and check, she smiled softly at her best friend. Just her best friend right? She wasn't sure where her feelings lay anymore, especially when she hoped off of the webs and into his open arms. She had to not think about it right now.......
"Hey Henric....that sounds great." She nodded and tucked her long hair behind her ear. Honestly.....she didn't want food. She had been eating less , when she didn't eat much in the first place. She wouldn't turn down his offer and didn't want to be away from him though. She had something to tell him anyways.
Just then, she heard the quiet sound of a familiar voice. "Hi Benny." She hadn't seen him much in the past few weeks......not that she had been that observant given what had been going on in her mind.
Henric offered him to join them and Ilia saw no reason not to. The more people...the safer you were right? "Yes. Come join us Benny. Its better not to be alone." She was offering it for him and herself.......she would be less stressed with more familiar faces. Her arm reached to hold Henric's and she gestured for Benny to walk with them.

Towel across his shoulder, Zeke returned to Hady's side, considering her proposition. It wasn't any different to what he had been thinking, so he pulled a face that hopefully told her he was thinking. It was quite possible that he made thinking look painful.
Hhhhmmmm.
"Well, food has to happen, but so does swimming, and... is that zip-lining?" he asked, staring out at a section of the lake. And... THAT... THAT... Zeke pointed at the high-rise water slide thing. The plunge? He was taking the plunge. "And that, I'm doing it," and with that, his decision was made. He could NOT wait for that. "You coming? Or do you want to watch?" He knew Hady wasn't the squeamish type, but it was a BIIIIGGGGG drop.

He noticed that llia had her wand leather holster on her arm, he wondered what she be doing with it since they would be having fun under the sun.Nice Henric..you just rhymed yourself. Narrh...llia was not going to do that to him! She wouldn't be blasting water on him if they played in the water,right? WRONG. His bestfriend would totally do it. If that was the case, he should bring it along with him too.He had a feeling he was going to blast water at a certain Hufflepuff prefect with the aguamenti charm soon...heheh.
Henric beamed and landed his hand on Benny's shoulder. He was glad Benny allowed him to call him by his nickname once more, it meant that they were back to good...or maybe not good... but definitely civil terms again. He nodded,"Brilliant, mate! I'm starved! Let's go! I heard a lot of fun things are in store for us. I'll be heading for the slide next, you guys in coz' I'm really pumped up just thinking about sliding down that humongous slide!" he added excitedly. He cheeks reddened a little when llia suddenly held his arm, he let out a slight cough"Right! What are we waiting for?! Onward!" Pointing back out to the entrance.
Toothless - Napoleon of Crime - Gryffinclaw - Owl Emissary - Pirate Auror - DoctorDonna
Ilia for her part was just as welcoming as Henric was, adding him easily to their little group. Benny had to fight the urge to raise an eyebrow at her remark however. Its better not to be alone...was that for him? Or something more personal...perhaps in reference to herself...in reaction to her trial with the acromantulas? The Gryffindor inwardly shivered at the thought before nodding absently to cover up any visible reaction.
"Alright..." he said giving in, just as the Hufflepuff's hand touched his shoulder nearly causing him to jump. At ease, Atreyu, he coaxed himself with a soft sigh. "We'll see..." Benny mused as he moved to walk with them in the direction of the food. He wasn't quite sure he was up for an adventure in water-sliding.

Okay, maybe she hadn’t really done much during the whole acromantula situation, but then Brooklyn had never planned on doing much. Aside from avoiding any and all spiders who might want to make her sick yet again. She’d managed that, so everything went well in her eyes. Plus, the castle was a whole lot less cobwebby and not at risk of acromantula invasion, so she felt safer. Although, there was the whole fact that an outdoor swimming party could mean sunburn, especially since she was a redhead. She’d made sure to put lots of sunscreen on before she’d left the dorms though, her hair braided up almost as neatly as it had been the summer before when her mama had done it for her. That and she had a couple things with her. Tywin was walking aside her, and there was a certain book stashed in her bag along with the bottle of sunscreen. She was planning on being prepared for anything.
Anything except spiders, but she figured that was school-wide. This was a no-spiders-allowed party/end-of-term feast. She stopped at the lockers to slip her bag into a free one, along with her shirt and her shoes. She left her skirt on for now, over her swimsuit. She could take that off whenever she decided to go swimming. For now, she just felt like seeing what was there. Deciding if it was worth coming, since it wasn’t exactly a real end of term feast.

SPOILER!!: Zeke
Towel across his shoulder, Zeke returned to Hady's side, considering her proposition. It wasn't any different to what he had been thinking, so he pulled a face that hopefully told her he was thinking. It was quite possible that he made thinking look painful.
Hhhhmmmm.
"Well, food has to happen, but so does swimming, and... is that zip-lining?" he asked, staring out at a section of the lake. And... THAT... THAT... Zeke pointed at the high-rise water slide thing. The plunge? He was taking the plunge.
"And that, I'm doing it," and with that, his decision was made. He could NOT wait for that. "You coming? Or do you want to watch?" He knew Hady wasn't the squeamish type, but it was a BIIIIGGGGG drop.
Waiting on Zeke's reply Hady glanced around once more her eyes falling to some of her friends that seemed to be just arriving as well. Spotting Brooklyn, Hady gave her fellow snakette a small grin in greeting before she shifted her eyes once more to her Lion buddy. Poor guy must be taking this hard and really trying to decide on something, he looked like he was in pain. Holding back a small laugh she fixed her towel and hung it around her neck lightly.
It didn't seem to take him long before he was pointing at something. Following his gaze and the pointing she saw what it was. And it was HUGE! Even from where they stood now she was able to see that this wasn't no ordinary water slide. This thing was the biggest she'd ever seen. There was noway she'd just watch him go on that. "Food, after. Cause there's noway I'm letting you have all the fun! I'm going with you," Hady smirked at him her eyes shinning with excitement as she held out her hand for him like she normally did. The action bascially second nature to her now. "Let's go?"

With his eyes set on the prize - the plunge - the fact that people were coming and going went unnoticed by him. It was epic. It looked epic. He wanted on it. NOW.
He didn't SEE Hady, because he was too busy staring, but when he heard her say she wasn't going to let him have all the fun, his grin grew, stretching to breaking point. And even at her command of 'let's go' he didn't turn to look at her, instead, he instinctively reached his hand out until it made contact with hers.... and then they were off.
Angel had totally forgot about the prefect event until someone had reminded her of it, she would thank all the Prefects when she got the chance because they all had really out done themselves after everything that had gone on.
Angel had already put her bathing suit on under her clothes so she was great there, she shoved her clothes and a few other things in one on of the lockers and then she decided that the first thing she wanted to do was go and see what there was, this was going to be amazing right.
Ilia smiled at Henric's enthusiasm. She was glad that he was right back to being her best friend. To help combat the dark imprint that the spider ordeal had left on her, she needed the brightness of her friends and the comfort of the familiar way they were.
Food.....well she would want to look and see what they had to offer. There could be different things to try. She wasn't used to some of the normal food they had here until recently, different foods were becoming more interesting to her. The slide, she saw the huge brightly colored structure and she could see why Henric was so excited about it. She wanted to give it a try as well, though she didn't have the same energy that he did.
Wait, were his cheeks red? She ignored it as he coughed though and giggled a little as he made his announcement. Onward was right and off they went with Benny not far behind.
Rocking some oversized sunglasses, a messy bun, and her favorite swimsuit, Sophie Brown was all READY TO GO. She'd even worn sunscreen AND brought the bottle in the bag on her back just in case someone else forgot theirs. Super thoughtful of her, right? She PROBABLY normally wouldn't have cared, but this was a PREFECT event and she was a prefect, one of the eight people who were, like... running the whole thing. So she HAD to plan ahead a bit.
And she'd been TOTALLY game to accept a piggy back ride to the event from Tobes because - well, why not? He was LEAVING HER FOREVER soon so she kind of never wanted to leave his side. It was a bit unfortunate for him, really, because she'd practically made herself attached to his hip - or, well, his back, in this case, as she held on as her piggy-backed her to the entrance of the whole grand event.
When her Hufflepuff "steed" came to a halt beside the lockers, Sophie let herself down from his back and chose to loop her arm with his instead. He'd carried her the WHOLE way there, and she hadn't let him know yet that she actually had, like, a JOB to do, but... the next place they had to go - well, SHE had to go - she didn't want him to have to carry her up all those stairs, if he wanted to come, too.
She gave him a sheepish smile at his question, though, and hugged his arm as she responded with dazed sort of sigh, "Yeah, we are." Sneaky, that was. "M'actually assigned to the top of the slide there," she pointed to the HUGE waterslide that was gracing the grounds of Hogwarts. "S'like my station or whatever. M'supposed to, like, make sure everyone waits their turn and people don't go more than one person at once or do stupid stuff." Realistically, she SHOULD have probably gotten there earlier because it looked like people were already running for the slide to take their turn, but... oops. Sorry, Hogwarts, Tobes was a TOP PRIORITY RIGHT NOW.
"Y'wanna come with? It's wicked - there's all those twists 'n turns 'n stuff and the water propelling you down makes it SUPER fast and y'can bonk Zander on the head when y'get to the bottom, 'cause he's supposed to be stationed there to make sure everyone gets out okay 'n stuff." Give him a kiss from me or something, she almost added as a joke, but like... two concerns there: 1) Tobes might get mega uncomfortable at the suggestion, OR 2) Tobes would think it's hilarious and actually DO it.
Though all things considered, the second option kind of... well, heh. Soph certainly wouldn't object to that turn of events.
Oh yeah. Soph had, like, a job and everything, 'cause she was a prefect. Imagine that, having to spend this whole event stationed at just ONE place. Or, well... probably not the WHOLE event. There were probably shifts and breaks and rotations and all that stuff, and there was also a way to make anything fun, after all. But still, Toby felt quite lucky in being able to freeeeeeely flit from one place to another if he liked.
"Sure, I'll give it a go,"Toby replied, casually unlooping their arms and instead holding her hand so he could swing it in a big arc as the headed that way. Because he was Toby and he was ridiculous. "But you realise as soon as I slide down I leave you behind." And then he'd have to go aaaaaaaaaaaaaall the way back up, though that was no trouble. Point was that she'd be watching HIM having fun, which didn't feel fair. "Think I'll pass on the head-bonking. Such high speeds... might end up accidentally knocking him across the..." He glanced around. "... wherever it is we are."
SEE? Toby could be smart sometimes. But he still smiled as he used his free hand to tug at his yellow VIVA LA PLUTO shirt to straighten it after it had become all bunched up from his serving as a majestic stallion steed. "D'you need to stay up there for the whole thing?" If so, it probably gave Toby time to say a few goodbyes, sign a certain book, and then they could meet up again for the speech or something.

He would... give it a go? Soph snorted. "Yeah, as if you weren't totally psyched about doing it in the first place. Figured you'd wanna be one of the first ones on it." Didn't he thrive on the thrill of adventurous things like a massive waterslide on the Hogwarts grounds? She had assumed so, which was one of the reasons she made SURE that was where she got stationed for the afternoon. She thought he'd want to do it loads of times, so Tobes could come see her and ride the slide as many times as he wanted. It was perfect, really.
Squeezing his hand after he'd laced their fingers together, Sophie smiled and giggled brightly as he swung them while they walked. "You'll burn off a lotta energy that way." If he had loads of energy to expend, but today... well, she wasn't sure that he HAD loads of energy to burn off. Was the end of term finally getting to him? Was he sad, even in the face of a waterpark beckoning him to enjoy all it had to offer?
"He'd love the attention, though," the Ravenclaw joked about Zander, the smile going all the way up to her eyes, "but I suppose you're just too nice. Can we go see him before we go up to the top? Or we can hurry up to the top and I'll go down WITH you and we'll BOTH go grace him with our presence after we have our own fun." She just wanted to see what he'd chosen to wear, if he'd remembered to put sunscreen on, if he was shirtless... and she wanted to splash them both with as much water as possible. Having them both in the same place was her favorite thing in the whole world.
"Not for the whole day. Just a good part of it. At least I'm supposed to.... but whether that'll happen is up for debate. When have I ever been one to do exactly as I was told?" Hehehe. "Plus, I wanna go get some of those fake tattoos and I'm gonna be hungry, like, twenty minutes from now, probably. So you'll probably see me wandering 'round. Not sure I can stay in the same spot for too long." So, oops. How was SHE supposed to resist the urge to jump down the waterslide the whole afternoon? No, she was definitely going to be going down it like... every half hour, at the least. THEY COULDN'T KEEP HER FROM ENJOYING THE DAY.

THE END IS NEAR! THE APOCALYPSE IS UPON US! AIREY FLAMSTEED IS NOT WEARING A SUIT!
Well, technically speaking he still was. A swimsuit to be precise. A technicality that would have to do for the day.
With Pebbles tucked under his arm, Boulder back in the office sleeping in a drawer rather than the pillow on top of his desk, the Astronomy professor strolled over to the entrance and flung his science officer Star Trek towel around his shoulders. Pasty white man that he was, he had already applied a healthy layer, or five, of sunscreen to his person and was ready to get a move on.
Which is why he was planning on bypassing the lockers and changing...er...spaces as quickly as humanly possible.
"GOOD DAY GOOD DAY!" he greeted no one in particular, keeping one hand cupped around his eyes to hopefully prevent eye contact on that side.
