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.

"Alright, then!" Tonks spoke in her typical cheerful manner, and gave the elf a bright smile and a wave. She nodded to Gwen, stating her thanks without words, and turned the key on the contraption. It sputtered to life, and she grinned in triumph. "Nah, no use whatsoever." She sounded positively thrilled about the whole thing, not upset at all. "One of those stone men would drag you back, you know."

With that, she prodded the machine into motion. "Well, that will make you a bit of a challenge, then, won't it?" She smiled cheerfully at Haruka, a healthy gleam of competition in her eyes as she began to carefully steer the strange muggle contraption around in the shallower water. It wasn't all that different from a broom, really... only it responded to the controls, where a broom was more about leaning and leg pressure.

"Alright. I'm ready." She winked playfully at the other members of her group. Win, lose, or draw, she was going to have fun with this.

	After two near headers into the water (good thing Gwen wore her trashed jeans for a change) she had gotten a hang of these things. "Confession, I'm awful at any sport beyond darts and cards. Me and water usually seem to meet in the form of a header into the drink" able to see the humor in her ongoing problems. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Haruka looked left and right at her competitors as they made their way to her position. She laughed at Gwen's assessment of water, but in a good-natured way, since the woman seemed to think it somewhat humorous herself. She caught the gleam in Tonks' eye. Good. At least one of these women (men? What exactly was Vaarsuvius-san?) was serious about a competition. And she seemed to have gotten the hang of the jet-ski pretty quickly. She shook her head at Vaarsuvius's comments. "I've seen the golems drag people back after they've tried to leave an activity," she said. "So you might as well make the best of it."

She looked out across the lake. The surface was calm, aside from the little ripples their jet-skis sent out as they bobbed and the motors hummed. "First one all the way across to the other side, around that buoy over there," she pointed to the little red and white thing bobbing across the lake, which had appeared as if for that very purpose, "and back here wins. Okay?" She glanced back at the golem standing on the edge of the lake and watching them. "Give us a signal to go, all right?" she shouted to it.

Vaarsuvius muttered something that might or might not have been rude. But since s/he had no desire to be dragged back here again, s/he slowly piloted the jet-ski more or less into line with the others.

"If we must do this, then I am in favor of getting it over with quickly." s/he said with a sigh. "And if we must race, then so be it."

The golem standing on the lake edge made a loud booming noise that V assumed was the signal to start. S/he accelerated the jet-ski, only to have the infernal machine jerk all over the place. S/he cursed as s/he tried to avoid hitting anyone else, flipping over, or heading back the way s/he had come. Which resulted in the elf making very little headway in the race at all.
