Circe's Manor: Re-re-redux!

[Ookalf]

*Searching... Searching... Searching... Eventually, Kaoru spots a tube-shaped object nestled against the wall. Could that be it?*

---

Oh, um, you're OK... Can I do anything else for you?

[AmbushCat]

(FL-Kaoru)
*swims over and picks up the object* Alright, let's see... yes? No? Maybe so? What's up bro, make my monster grow? Okay, spending way too much time cooped up in Calli's brain.

----

LC-Callista: I should be fine now. *beatific expression* I appreciate your assistance, but for now I think I'll just relax. May I signal for you when I'm ready to head for my room?

*The White-ified Calli edges into the pool, one hand on the rungs of a built-in ladder and the other on her glass of orange juice.*

[Ookalf]

*Kaoru's find appears to be a fountain pen, and of the correct color. Could this be what she's looking for?*

---

*Grace nods.* Yeah, sure. You need anything, just call! *She bows and leaves the room.*

[AmbushCat]

*Deciding to ask directly whether it's what she was supposed to find or not, FL-Kaoru swims over and signals for Madison.*

-----

*LC-Callista nods and rests against the side of the pool, watching the water moving to and fro and the shadows on the walls. She'll be there for a while, it appears, so we'll just leave her be. >^_^< *

[Ookalf]

*Spotting Kaoru waving, Madison swims over to her.* What's up? You find something?

[AmbushCat]

(FL-Kaoru)
Yeah. *holds up the pen* Is this what you're looking for?

[Ookalf]

Lemme see that... *Madison takes the pen and looks it over.* Hmm... Yeah, I think this is it. Guess we found a lot faster then I thought...

[AmbushCat]

(FL-Kaoru)
*shrug* The costume's got scanners built into my eyes. Still, it's a bit hard trying to discern the exact color of something underwater.

[Ookalf]

Yeah, especially with most of the lights out... You wanna keep looking, just to be sure?

[AmbushCat]

(FL-Kaoru)
Sure. Even if this is it, who knows? There might be something else missing down here.

[Ookalf]

*Madison nods.* Good point... But first, do you mind if I go up to the surface for a sec to set this by the pool? I mean, we don't wanna lose it again or anything.

[AmbushCat]

(FL-Kaoru)
Sure.

[Ookalf]

Great. Gimme just a sec... *Madison swims up the surface and glances over to Callista.*

[AmbushCat]

*LC-Callista is still leaning against the edge of the pool, gazing up at the rippling shadows with a blissfully contented look on her face. She doesn't seem to have noticed Madison surfacing, instead sipping from her drink.*

[Ookalf]

Huh... *Madison swims over to where LC-Callista is.* Hey, Calli. Can I ask you a favor real quick?
