JAWS 13 - MAKING WAVES

[jaws5sonofjaws]

[Mart has managed to regain one of his more... peculiar Leviathan powers. Namely, being able to create waves of water and spit out geysers. Time to put these skills to good use.]

[Action: 914 Bilko Blvd]

[Mart's busy in the backyard of his house, digging with his bare hands.]

[Action 2: Later]

[Mart has a crudley dug out hole filled with water. In his backyard and is currently enjoying a soak. Care to join him?]

Phone:

Hey everybody!

Guess who's got a pool!?

Action: Home

[sir_hellsing]

[Whose not!Mum is sitting on the back steps with a cigarette, watching Mart's enthusiastic efforts? This gal.

Baskerville dances around the boy, excited at this new game he has devised. Dig? Yes yes dig-- and the hellhound settles up across the hole from Mart to start digging too.]

Action: Home

[jaws5sonofjaws]

[Mart was kinda creeped out by Baskerville at first, but the demon dog seems friendly enough in helping him!

Mart continues burrowing when he turns to Integra.]

Hey!

This is gonna be the best pool ever!

Action: Home

[sir_hellsing]

And you won't have to share it with the drones.

[Sir Hellsing nods in assent. She's already thinking long-term, a permanent fixture cemented in for Mart's use once spring settles in.]

Action: Home

[jaws5sonofjaws]

Hell yeah.

And we won't have to worry about getting water or anything 'cuz of me.

Action: Home

[sir_hellsing]

What other powers do you have yet to regain? [She's been watching him since shortly after breakfast, quietly appraising his new abilities.]

Action: Home

[jaws5sonofjaws]

[Mart takes a break from digging to sit back.]

Well, something my dad wanted to teach me before I ended up here was being able to spit lava.

That'd be pretty sweet to get back.

Phone

[splashpuppy]

Is it you? That's neat!

Re: Phone

[jaws5sonofjaws]

Hell yes it's me!

And my pool is awesome.

Re: Phone

[splashpuppy]

Did the town give it back to you?

Re: Phone

[jaws5sonofjaws]

Nope.

Made it myself.

Re: Phone

[splashpuppy]

Didja dig it or could you make the water do the work? Where'd you get the water?

Phone

[jaws5sonofjaws]

I'm making it myself!

Re: Phone

[splashpuppy]

Oh, neat, you can do that too?

Action 1

[strike_you_out]

[Upon spotting Mart digging in the dirt like a dog, Slugger has decided to investigate. At first he stands silently by, just watching, then...]

Did someone die?

Action 1

[jaws5sonofjaws]

[Mart'll turn around, but not even Slugger's gonna ruin his good mood.]

Nope!

I'm digging a pool!

[strike_you_out]

Oh.

[He leans forward to peer at the hole Mart has started and smirks.]

Ever heard of a shovel?

[jaws5sonofjaws]

I don't need one.

[He rips out a chunk of dirt.]

It only slows me down.

[strike_you_out]

Right.

[Something tells him you have no actual concept of what you're doing, Mart. Which means this could be kind of funny. Slugger crouches down to watch.]

[jaws5sonofjaws]

[And a diggign with his bare hands he will go. Watch out for stray dirt!]

This is gonna be the best pool ever!

[strike_you_out]

[A few dirt clods whiz past his head, which Slugger either ignores or dodges depending on their trajectory.]

Do you have cement?

[jaws5sonofjaws]

Cement?

Why would I need cement?

[Nope, nope, nope he has not thought this through.]

[strike_you_out]

To keep the water in? Edward had one built in my yard.

[In his own obnoxious way, it's almost as if he's trying to help.]

[jaws5sonofjaws]

[Mart pauses. You actually raise a good point...]

...

Okay. You might have a point...

Where can I get cement though.

[strike_you_out]

[The helpfulness ends here with a shrug.]

I'unno.

[phone]

[noluckduck]

You're gonna have to tell me where ya live now.

[phone]

[jaws5sonofjaws]

914 Bilko Blvd!

Just you wait, there's gonna be parties like crazy over here soon!

[phone]

[noluckduck]

Don't care, just wanna try out the pool.

Re: [phone]

[jaws5sonofjaws]

Ha!

I bet you do.

I am going to swim like hell in there!

[phone]

[noluckduck]

You're that hero guy, aren't ya?

[ phone; ]

[bunshins]

Seriously?!

[ phone; ]

[jaws5sonofjaws]

Hell yes seriously.

[Phone]

[fineinthefire]

I'm gonna hazard a guess and say you.

[A pause]

Who the hell would want to be in a pool in the middle of February?

[Phone]

[jaws5sonofjaws]

Me of course, on both accounts!

[Phone]

[fineinthefire]

You're nuts. It's freezing outside.

Re: [Phone]

[jaws5sonofjaws]

That's fine, I like swimming in cold water.

It feels brisk!

[Phone]

[fineinthefire]

You're a nut job. You could at least have cold water inside where it wont freeze to you the second you get out.

action, later

[macebronia]

[Rider seems very impressed with Mart's new creation, and runs into the water like how many times they've come across them on their path of conquest. With a gigantic belly flop.]

I was thinking we needed a pool, Mart!

action, later

[jaws5sonofjaws]

[And Rider's massive belly flop with send Mart nearly out of the pool.]

Whoa! Good one!

And hell yes we needed a pool!

[Phone]

[singlesynapsetheory]

Who has a pool?!

Re: [Phone]

[jaws5sonofjaws]

Why I do!

Action 1

[surf_n_makai]

[Kono's walking by when she notices a guy digging furiously in his backyard. Yes, she's seen weirder in Mayfield, but she still feels compelled to stop and ask.]

Brah, what are you doing?



((OOC: Sorry, deleted the first one for a major typo. :( ))

Re: Action 1

[jaws5sonofjaws]

Digging a pool of course!

[surf_n_makai]

Ok... so why no use a shovel? It'd save your hands and your nails. And it'd probably be faster.

[jaws5sonofjaws]

Pfft

I don't need a shovel. My hands are way better for crafting this thing.

[surf_n_makai]

I still think a shovel would be faster.

What's the hole for anyway?

[jaws5sonofjaws]

I'm building a kickass pool!

[surf_n_makai]

A pool? How are you going to fill it, especially in the middle of winter?

[jaws5sonofjaws]

Simple.

Thanks to my last regain, I'm a living water dispenser!

[surf_n_makai]

Really? I know someone else around town who can do that. Probably a useful skill, huh?

How deep are you going to make the pool?
