WHO: astral! feferi! shinji and kanaya and any other of their friends who might want to tag along! and YOU, if you happen to be at the pool at the time!
WHERE: the pool at xavier's
WHEN: not 3:30 a.m., that's for sure. let's say backdated to saturday afternoon since that seems like a reasonable meeting time
WARNINGS: very silly
SUMMARY: feferi attempts to teach a human astral how to swim, emphasis on attempts
FORMAT: i'm assuming quick, fuck if i know how to start a log

[there's a lot about this set-up that feferi doesn't like, but the alternative was lessons in the open ocean, which astral had insisted against for some reason. it's not like she have would let him drown.

but that is how it goes and now feferi's stuck in a glorified box that's too narrow, too shallow, and too chemical, with an ugly, cumbersome filter clamped to her gills, mostly submerged and fully cross (already). any comfort she might have felt at being allowed her natural form again--and around friends for once--is tempered by the repellent feeling of the chlorine against her skin, and she suddenly feels glad to have held onto her goggles all this time.

she sinks down into the water up to her ear fins and blows bubbles as sullenly as one can do so. the sooner they all get on with this, the better.]

[He sits back, looking up at the ceiling.]

More than on this world, yeah. I guess everyone decided teaching swimming in every school was a good idea After a few million people die in a worldwide flood.

[ oh. ]

Yeah, that...would probably be prudent. Given the situation. [ she doesn't think knowing how to swim would really have saved many of those people, but actually saying that would be a bit insensitive. ]

[He shrugs.] Maybe. I've heard in the old days they used to tell kids to get under desks for nuclear attacks. That's probably about as effective.

[No one can be more insensitive to himself than Shinji.]

[ she frowns, leaning back in her chair. ]

Ever so slightly less, I would imagine.
