She'd been having a blast the last couple of days, no doubt about it. Okay, so she did feel a little bit guilty for the fact that she hadn't even remotely been trying to escape, but there was too much fun to be had. Today, though, she would track Marcus down and they would see about getting off this rock. Although maybe she could trip him back into bed first, that sounded like a good idea to her...

With these pleasant thoughts in mind, she opened her door. And was immediately confronted with the note that had been posted there. She sighed softly. "Really? Again?" She knew what the thing was before even opening it. Though she complained, something in her dark eyes and sudden grin implied that she wasn't really upset. She actually really enjoyed the group activities, though she would probably deny it.

She had time for breakfast, or rather brunch, before she was to be there. She dressed quickly and then headed out. Though she was more often than note late, she was actually the first one to arrive at the lake front. There was some strange muggle machines there, and she looked at them curiously as she waited. The light breeze blew her hair, purple today, around, and she tucked it impatiently behind her ear.

Tonks was more than pleased when the first of them arrived, though she winced in sympathy at her raspy voice. "A bit of pepper-up potion would fix that right up for you." She informed her, with a bright smile of welcome. "Yeah, time for some fun... do you know what a 'jet ski' is?"

Before there was a chance to respond to that, though, someone else came up. Tonks had seen this particular girl with another girl, and smiled at her. "Haruka? I'm Tonks. People keep asking if I know you because of Michiru's hair." She pointed to her own bright tresses. "Nice to finally meet you. No, I've never even heard of..."

Once more she was cut off, however, by some very irritated spellcasting. She looked curiously as a very strange creature was brought to the group. "You look like Legolas!" She hadn't met the other elf, of course, but she knew him on sight. "Wotcher! I'm Tonks." It was the third time she'd introduced herself, but it sounded just as bright and cheery as ever. And tried not to stare too obviously as she tried to figure out what gender the elf newcomer was.

"Well, we're supposed to jet ski." She shrugged, having no idea how this was done. "Anyone know what it is? I don't." She gazed doubtfully at the contraptions.

"Tail end of a sinus bug and I came armed" Gwen lifed the little bag of cough drops. "The raspy throat has a way of hanging around with me but otherwise I'm not catching or anything nasty. By the way I'm Gwen" since she had not met any of the group before now. "As for the skis I'm clueless, I'm used to the city and since the question will come up Cardiff,Wales 2009" adding in her details. But the wedding band on Gwen's chain easily caught the light outside.

She racked her brain,"Rhys told me about these things once, people use these things to ski on the water" ready for questions about her husband if anyone asked.

Haruka chuckled at the idea of Michiru and Tonks knowing each other purely because of their uniquely colored hair. She was relieved that Gwen at least said she wasn't contagious any longer. She glanced at the jet-skis, and was about to remark at how similar they looked to a snowmobile, when the purple-haired elf was dropped in their midst.

She blinked at the elf. If people thought Haruka was difficult to place in terms of gender, they'd never seen this elf. Haruka looked more noticeably feminine in her boys' schol fuku than the elf did in red robes. But the elf didn't look exactly masculine either. True androgyny, and it left Haruka baffled as to how to address the newcomer. The surly attitude wasn't helping much. She bowed to the elf. "Haruka," she said, offering a tight smile. "Pleased to meet you. And you are?"

She looked back to Gwen. "Tokyo, Japan, 1995," she offered, "So don't tell me who beats us at Nagano in a few years." She grinned.
