STATUS: Complete

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.

Gwen easily caught up as she hung a left on the machine while avoiding a header into the water. "Maybe for once I get through a sport without a disaster waiting to happen" she could joke about her status as a klutz after all. She figured at least she would have a story for Jack and Ianto once the 3 of them could touch base and trade tales of the day so far. But she gunned the gas on the ski, part of her itching for a Cardiff style traffic jam at this point.

Now, to see if this machine really was as much like a motorcycle as she thought it was. Tonks was right on top of her, with Gwen just about there, and Vaarsuvius coming up on their rear. Haruka gunned her engine in sync with Tonks, but kept going fast for a second or so longer than the other woman, sending a wave of water spraying up and out as she turned. Fortunately, she was on the outside at the moment, so it wouldn't douse her competitors. That would be unfair. She slowed down as she went through the arc of the curve, using her natural sense of balance to keep from pitching over as the jet-ski tilted at an angle with the water through the curve. As she straightened out, she gunned the engine again, shooting forward with a shout of joy. These things really were fun. She glanced back to see where the others were, hoping they were still right on her tail. She hadn't had this close a competition in ages, and it was quite a rush.

Teeth clenched tight in concentration, V gunned the engine again, finally getting somewhat of a feel for the machine. S/he even managed to close a decent amount of the distance before they rounded the buoy. Unfortunately, controlling the jet-ski going more or less straight was far easier than turning. Wrestling the machine around the turn nearly dumped the elf into the lake, but s/he managed to right his/her self before any damage was done to anything other than his/her robes.
