Day 3- Bowling
Who: Giselle, Tyler, Jun, Katara and Christian
What: Bowling
When: Late Morning
Where: Bowling Alley
Rating: TBD
Status: Completed!

Giselle woke with the pleasant thoughts of Legolas in her head. Their impromptu duet the day before had stuck with her even into her dreams. She smiled dreamily as she sat up in bed and went to the balcony doors. She leaned against the side of the balcony and sang with all her heart. When she had finished her seranade of the entire resort, she resumed waking up.

She showered and dressed with the help of her animal friends and went to get some breakfast at the restaurant. When she returned from a satisfying meal of pancakes and fresh fruit, she saw an envelope taped to her door that she had neglected to notice before. She pulled it off and tore it open. Giselle loved getting messages, and she half hoped it was from Legolas.

But it was not to be. Instead it was instructions about a mandatory activity she was to participate in. She had never even heard of bowling. She frowned, but if she was going to be doing it with other people, she was going to have fun, regardless.

She spent the remainder of the morning, before she had to participate in the activity, redecorating her room. Instead of all pink, she concentrated on putting some silvery and purply threads in the comforter on her bed and in the wallpapered walls. She gave herself a grander vanity and a bigger wardrobe.

She was dressed in a flowing yellow dress when she left her room to go to her activity. Her hair was left down, tucked neatly behind her ears. She skipped as she moved down the hall of the main building toward the door leading to the bowling alley. She stepped in and found that she was the first one there.

She went to the desk and the golem there directed her to a lane after handing her some shoes and socks. She grimaced and held the shoes up in front of her face. "Has someone else worn these?" She whispered loudly to the golem. He nodded and she wrinkled her nose. "Do you have any no one else has worn?" He shook his head. She frowned and sighed, heading for the lane she had been directed to.

Sitting down, she pulled off her sandals and proceeded to put the shoes and socks on. She was horrified at having to wear something someone else had worn. Someone she didn't know, too! Sitting back to wait for the others to arrive, Giselle's attention was drawn to a television set high above her head. It had some dancing pins and bowling balls on it before it cleared and some instructions flowed across the screen.

She read them as quickly as she could, trying to understand what she was supposed to do. The video replayed itself when it finished, and Giselle looked down the lane to the pins standing in formation. She screwed up her mouth wondering just how she was supposed to knock all those huge pins down with just one little ball.

Tyler watched curiously as Jun got to try his hand at bowling. So far everyone here seemed to be really cheerful and almost happy to be here. It was pretty different to Tyler’s own reaction and what he had encountered with Ginger. For a moment he let his mind drift to the redheaded nut job he had met yesterday.

It was kinda no surprise Brigitte was the way she was, considering her sister. Tyler didn’t get to ponder this very long when Jun hurled his ball, sending it crashing into the next lane. “Jesus”, Tyler swore as he saw the ball embedded in the wall. Remind me never to piss Jun off, he silently thought before adding out loud, “At least you knocked those pins down”. Jun’s second try was less exciting but more successful and soon Christian was up. Judging by how they all acted, Tyler strongly suspected he was the only one to have played this game before.

“Nice throw”, he offered when Giselle took her turn and managed to knock down a few pins. Then came Katara and Tyler grinned as he watched her take a stance in front of the lane. The look of seriousness and determination on her face was kinda cute considering that this was just a bowling game but Katara proved to be a fast learner. Yet it wasn’t perfect and Katara seemed down on that. “Hey it was a good try”, Tyler said consolingly.

“Uh, it can”, Tyler replied to Katara’s question about the 7-10 split. “It depends on the angle the ball hits the pins. If you hit the center you want to make the other pins kinda fly out and knock the other pins down to get a strike so hitting the middle might work. I’m not exactly an expert on bowling”, he added as he got up from his seat.

Yet Katara made a good point. When Tyler grabbed the ball he adjusted his stance slightly as he gripped the ball firmly. Another deep breath and Tyler slung the ball down the lane although this time he was aiming for the middle pin. It was a perfect hit, sending the white wooden pins flying and giving Tyler a strike. “Yes!” he exclaimed before turning back to his companions with a big grin. Maybe he was showing off a little but screw it, this was a game right?

“You were right”, he said to Katara as Tyler took his seat again. “Aiming for the middle pin did it”. As he waited for Jun to take his turn, Tyler decided now was a good time as any to chat with the other players. “So where’s everyone from? Originally I mean. I pretty sure aside from the rock and wood guys that no one else is actually from this place”.
