it was bound to happen sooner or later...

[Octopus has found a room with a pleasantly cool place in the mountains within. There's a multitude of small, spring-fed pools of water spread out around the door, some with tall, upright bamboo poles sticking out of them.]

Heh. Kinda nice in here. ...tranquil.

[He wades into one of the nearby pools- except it's a lot deeper than he thought, so he plunges to the bottom instead. A few seconds later she resurfaces, sputtering.] Dammi-- !!!

Crap, there's genderbendin' water too? [She hoists her sodden self from the pool and sits upon the grass, muttering to herself as she wrings out her hat and coat.] Least it'll only last a few days...

[[That's right, Octopus has found the cursed Jusenkyo springs of Ranma 1/2, by now one of the most convenient excuses for genderbending in any fandom! Of course, you don't have to fall into the Spring of Drowned Girl/Boy (unless you were originally one and are looking for a cure, that is), you could turn into a panda or a ninja or a shota or a jackalope... Regardless, you won't be yourself again until you're splashed with hot water, after which you'll be back to normal... until your next contact with cold water, that is... BWAHAHA.

Or, y'know, you could just mock Octopus' plight. Especially since she's wearing a white t-shirt with no bra....]]

[Good thing Octopus' dog is napping back in his room. He's fallen in enough water features on account o' him.

She sets her fedora back on her head and approaches the kitty with a sneeze totally not planning to pitch it into a pond or nothin', nope.] Hey there cat. What's with th' bandanna?

[This isn't the first time I find myself thinking: Wow, I'm glad I'm not that guy.]

[Octopus is going through her pockets, checking for water damage, and regards her cigarettes with a frown. After falling into a body of water twice, they're probably not going to recover this time. Ah well.

Oh, hey, it's a Snake.] What're you lookin' at?

[crisiscontrol.livejournal.com]

Nothing. Just admiring the scenery.

[Pretends to be interested in his surroundings.]

[Looks back at Octopus every once in awhile and smirks]

[downtotheblood.livejournal.com]

[Shoots a glare at Snake.] Why doncha go soak yer head?

[crisiscontrol.livejournal.com]

Because I'm not as dumb as I look.

[Backs away from the water a few more steps.]
