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.

"I'm Tonks, nice to meet you all." She smiled and waved at the others cheerfully. "I'm from England, London actually." She raised an eyebrow at Gwen, since their home countries were so close together. It made her feel more comfortable, in some odd way.

"Well, I guess we'd better give this a go, hadn't we? Otherwise those bullies will come and probably tie us on." The golems probably would, actually, since they were pretty much determined that they would be doing this. Sure, there were none around right now, but that could change quickly.

"Wait a second... was that there a second ago?" A screen had appeared off to the side, and on it, people were engaged in the very activity that they were about to be now. She watched as a voice started talking, instructing them on how this was done. She listened. It seemed easy enough, in theory.

That was when an idea formed in Gwen's head so she figured no harm in having a little fun. "We seem like a sporting sort of group so race around the lake on those things to start with?" deciding her status as a total klutz when it comes to sports would come out soon enough. She made a mental note to ask Jack about the idea of not being able to tell if someone was male or female after seeing Vaarsuvius in person. She also watched the little video, being from the city made her clueless about these things and it showed a little.

Haruka agreed with Tonks that the golems would probably force them to get started if they didn't show some initiative. She was about to say something much to that effect when Gwen mentioned making a race of it, once they figured out how to ride the things. She grinned. "You're on," she said.

Then, the screen appeared out of nowhere and began showing an instructional video. Haruka turned to it, following along with what the instructors were saying and doing. It was very similar to her snowmobile from the day before, only you practically stood up on these things rather than sat down, even though there was a seat. It would be a workout for the legs, but Haruka wasn't concerned with that at all.

"Doesn't seem too difficult," she remarked, glancing around at the others in their little group. She looked at the elf. "You might want to find a change of clothing first. Those robes will get soaked and weigh you down."

Vaarsuvius watched the screen in fascination. "What sort of scrying is this?" s/he asked no one in particular. Still s/he watched the screen carefully. These strange contraptions were nothing like s/he had ever seen, and s/he didn't want to look foolish on them. More foolish, s/he revised, watching some of the idiotic tricks the figures on the screen were performing.

At the mention of racing, s/he looked sharply at the dark haired human. "What sort of elf do you think I am?" s/he asked, affronted. "I am the great and powerful wizard Vaarsuvius, master of the elements, party to secrets of the universe that would drive lesser mortals mad! I will not debase myself by tearing across this lake on some sort infernal contraption just for your entertainment. The foul creatures of this land may have insisted I participate, but I will not make a fool of myself for your entertainment."

S/he glared at the jet skis, his/her lips pressed together in irritation. What sort of demented wizard had thought of these things? No, not wizard. No wizard worth the name would have created these. It had to have been a sorcerer. A sorcerer would probably get a kick out of something like this.

At the suggestion that s/he change, V waved an absent hand. "My magics should be more than enough to protect me."
