Pool's Open

[soundsinsilence]

Who: Engineers and merpires and anyone curious
When: Day 126, afternoon
Where: 4th floor, east side—the abandoned swimming pool
What: The marvelous marvels of technology

[With the solar panels fully up and running, and the building's functions picking up (looks guys we have elevators!! don't get stuck) there's finally enough power flowing through the walls to siphon just a little off for a side project.

Those on the fourth floor might hear the definite put put put put vrrroooOOOOM of a motor starting up.

More surprising, though comparatively softer, is the hisssssss of moving water, the splash of it hitting dry, cleaned concrete. The smell of salted water, ever so faint, fills the empty pool room.]


Heeeeh . . . there really is enough pressure to get it all the way from outside.

I wonder what they'll think . . .

[The first thought is WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT NOISE.

The second is why does it sound like water.

The third is that he will not, under any circumstances, go investigate.

The time between the third thought and the fourth thought (some merpire equivalent of "godammit") really only lasts about two and a half minutes.

Which is a really long way of saying it isn't long before a merpire is standing in the doorway, staring blankly.]

[I live on this level and mechanical noises need to be investigated, especially if they come from really close to where I live. :|a

. . . someone finally working on that, huh...]

[ god today is just not my fucking day, when am I going to be allowed to sleep .o.

Tromping exhausted back up to the fourth level to investigate-- ...oh


Oh. That scent... ]

[welp, that's a sound that needs to be investigated.

. . . sure isn't surprised to see Feathers here, though]

[vulpine_hijinx]

[what if I... poke my head in curiously?]

[nometal_alchemist]

*investigating the source of the noise*

[imaginemeandyuu]

[!]

What's this?

[innerdemon]

Is that -- are you making a pool?

[nolongerslate]

SO this is where Chrys's pumping machine went...

[misterious]

[ Followed the sound here and-- ]

...Nice work.

[likebigboats]

But are there any floating little animal toys to put in there?
