Atlantis Resort - Monday [Adventures]

Just because paradise had arrived didn't mean everyone had to sit around and do nothing all day. For that exact purpose, the good men and women of Atlantis Resorts had made sure there was a cornucopia of places to visit and entertain yourself with. Whether it was the waterslides you were after, or the adorable dolphins, the Bahamas had something for every occasion!

There was something a little hard to resist about this particular adventure. Bod had never gotten to see marine animals up close and, after some thought, decided on the shallow water meet up. His swimming skills were adequate but he wanted more to enjoy the dolphins than to concentrate on swimming.

Imagine that, dolphins were enough to actually make him smile. Considering how things had been going for the past several months, that was quite an accomplishment.

While Jaina thought later in the week she'd be happy to try one of the snuba things, she was a little afraid she'd be tired of fish if she went this early. Instead she headed out to the pool, completely ignored the thrall of just sitting there and getting sunburned, and went for a swim instead.

Didi eagerly waded into the shallow end, and found herself giggling helplessly when the dolphins came over to say hi.

Dolphin noses tickled.

Didi noticed Bod smiling and smiled back at him as she waded over. "Are they tickling you, too?" she asked. "They keep nuzzling me to say hi."

"I'm not very ticklish but that hasn't stopped them from nuzzling me," said Bod, picking a hand out of the water to greet Didi with a wave. "They're very friendly. I can honestly say this is the first time someone's nuzzled me to say hello."

Didi laughed. "See, I don't think there's any way to answer that that won't come off really weirdly flirty," she admitted. "But if I were a dolphin? I'd probably nuzzle you, too."

"And I'd find myself wondering if it's because I'm me or if it's because dolphins just like that," he said, laughing a bit. "Hullo, Didi. You look like you're having a good time so far."

After having an amazing lie in, Hannibal somehow found his way to this area of Atlantis. And, once there, he didn't know if he ever wanted to leave it.

He found a spot on top of one of the rocks and dove in. Yeah, he'd be there awhile, acting like he was five again. He loved vacations.

"I am," Didi said. "My roommate is awesome, it's beautiful here, and there are dolphins playing with me. It's a good week. You don't look like you're in the pit of despair, yourself."

"It's hard to feel anything but enjoyment when you're able to do something like this," said Bod, reaching out and letting a dolphin butt against his hand.

"I try not to let myself stay in that proverbial pit of despair for too long," he added. "From what I've seen, it's not worth it."

"Especially in weather like this," Didi added, as a dolphin swished by her in pursuit of a beachball. "And you're pretty smart. It doesn't do anyone any good to sit around feeling sad."

"I don't know if I can always avoid it," he said, splashing a little water her way playfully, "but avoiding it is preferable. Avoiding it here? Even more so."

This place was too bright and too noisy to sit in his room and wallow about things he had no control over. If he wanted to do that, he'd wait till he got back to Fandom.

"What sort of things are you hoping to do while here?" he asked curiously. "And everything is a good answer."

Cove Beach (Snorkel Adventure)

Claire had spent yesterday being lazy and soaking up the sun. Today she was anxious to get out and do stuff.

So she headed to Cove Beach for the snorkeling adventure. Maybe later this week she would try scuba diving.

She splashed water back in his direction, watching with satisfaction as a dolphin added its own splash. She'd give that one a treat later.

"'Everything' is the best answer," she decided. "Mostly just swimming and hanging out on the beach. Trying not to burn. Shopping. I'm not athletic enough to do some of the adventure stuff, but if I get bored..." she shrugged. "Is 'everything' your answer, too?"

"I believe so," he said, ducking down till the water hit his neck and making a face at the dolphin. It was amazing how immature and lighthearted a dolphin could make him feel.

"Especially the trying not to burn," he said, gesturing to his pale skin. "I've got about three coats on there right now and I still think it won't be enough. I found a place with video games yesterday and learned that I am an awful video game player."

Dolphins had that effect on everyone, to go by how Didi was hopping around playing catch with one. "Had you tried before?" she asked. "I haven't even done it often enough to know if I'm any good or not."

"I've come across Tetris and Pong before," he told her, splashing some water on his face to keep himself cool, "but nothing what I played yesterday."

Played terribly. Bod shook his head. "I tried a racing game. I can't even begin to tell you how many times I crashed. It was fun but I won't be attempting to drive a real car anytime soon."

"Probably better for you," Didi said. "I've never needed to learn to drive. I like riding in things better."

She fanned herself idly with a free hand. It was getting hotter.

[personal profile] therewaslife 2010-02-22 05:06 pm (UTC)(link)
"What sort of things do you like riding in?" he asked, noticing that fanning and splashing some more to be helpful. Perhaps the dolphins would take his cue and help her as well.

Whatever answer Didi was going to give, it got swamped by the rush of dolphins and water coming at her, and she sat down on the ocean floor with a giggle.

Resurfacing, she said. "I think I'd want to try riding a dolphin, if they'd let me. Wouldn't you?"

"Actually, yes, I'd love to try," he said, giving the dolphin closest to him a stroke across its skin. "I don't know how good of a rider I'd be but the experience would be worth my inexperience."
