Ahava noticed that the song had put the Frenrif to sleep, so she dashed in, grabbing the egg.  "Got it, y-" and yet, her screaming woke the canine once more, and she found herself swimming as fast as she could go.  "Ugh.  Note to self: wait until after you're done with the task to start rejoicing."  After she was a good distance away from it, she decided to pick another target egg.  "Ok, this time, let's get egg #18!"

[Silversky]

Taking a deep breath, Siren dove back underwater, swimming back the way she had come. Someone else had taken one of the eggs on the raft that was left, and now there were only two left. Hers was still there, though. Swimming through a cloud of brightly-colored fish, the Hydrokuhna reflected on the fact that this was almost over. Well, she had done a good job so far, getting one ten-pointer and one 20-pointer. And if she could get yet another ten-point egg, it would just confirm the triumph.

Feeling defeated after losing the first egg Patrice raced in the water to get to his second egg. He had no clue how far he was from it. he could be a mile away for all he knew. He wanted to get the egg more than ever now that the first egg had been taken from him.

[Silversky]

Siren kept going, pushing her paws throught the water and feeling the satesfying tug of the bag attached to one of her tails. It didn't have very many eggs, but it had a few, and most of them were worth a lot. And she'd be getting yet another one to add to her collection as well.
Siren was grateful that this was the event she had chosen; she loved water and her Hydrokuhna nature meant that she had done very well so far.

No anemones seemed to be harbouring any plastic pink eggs; maybe a pink fish but no pink egg. Nope, no pink eggs here but maybe if you keep going you’ll get lucky? This was a huge coral forest so don’t give up just yet!

(( Catching up on the posts, guys. <3 ))

[Silversky]

With a swoosh of bubbles the little Hydrokuhna was on the surface again. Had that been... a shark?
For once her comments at the beginning seemed to hold some truth. But when Siren dipped back below the water, the creature was nowhere to be found and Siren figured she'd imagined the whole thing. Oh well. Better keep going. She focused on the raft again.

[Kyrit]

Yes! It seemed as though the egg really was still there and his eyes hadn't merely been lying to him. He glanced out at the more open waters, looking to see if he could roughly tell how many eggs were left. Surely by now most of them had been picked up, but this did seem to be taking them all a good while. Shrugging off the fact, he took the egg he had been after in his mouth and paddled back to the shore. No sense in swimming all the way out to the few remaining eggs now, since surely those out there already would get them all soon.

[Silversky]

There is not anything else in here, she told herself. No sharks.
Besides, it probably wouldn't attack her even if it was in the water. Siren kept swimming, finally getting a little closer to the raft and the still-sleeping Fenref.
This should be fun. Hopefully the thing would go back to sleep like it did the first time.

[GrayGriffin]

What? Someone else had grabbed that egg? Alfred hissed and turned instead towards egg 33. Hopefully, the Fenref would stay asleep. He hummed softly under his breath, ready to raise his voice if the Fenref showed signs of stirring.

Well, the anemones held nothing for him. He snorted at them, releasing a cloud of bubbles that scared them back into their hides. He smirked lightly, his tail giving a satisfied eave, before he swam off into the coral once more. If it wasn’t for the fact that he was in a race, he might’ve paused to marvel at the different formations and colors they held. But he had better things to do than marvel at nature. A flash of light caught his eye, and he turned in the water to see a silver fish darting away from a rather large, underwater cave. There were shafts of light penetrating it, and it wasn’t as dark as most caves; in fact, it almost seemed inviting. He gave a thrash of his tail, and was soon swimming beneath the coral, looking for that tell-0tale flash of pink.

[Elektra]

"Ok, let's do this."  There weren't many eggs left, and Ahava was determined to get this new target, and, if she was lucky enough, one more.  But to do that, she'd have to work fast.  Propelling herself with her two tails, she sped along the top of the water.

The coral held no information as to the next eggs whereabouts, nor did this section of coral hold the egg in question. There was a lot of coral to cover though and the race was still on. One could sacrifice speed for meticulousness or the other way around, no one (but RE2) really knew what would be a better strategy at this point.

[MillietheWarrior]

Yai’yai circled through the underwater cave, making chirping noises in the back of his throat that resonated through the water, and, essentially, served to scare off larger fish, not that there were many here. But the sounds he made were more of frustration than anything else, and he gave a mighty thrash of his tail as he sped out of the cave and into a rather large coral corral. He might have thought the term was funny if he’d been anyone else. A vast expanse of sand covered the corral floor, surrounded by coral on all sides. It looked like a giant bowl. He swam in a circle, searching for the telltale flash of pink form the egg, before he chose a small opening in the corral, sliding through a very tight space that was uncovered from above. He kept his eyes peeled; maybe there was the place he’d find the egg.

[Elektra]

Swimming with everything she had, Ahava was almost at the eggs location.  Fearing she might be beaten to it, she dive under and began paddling even harder.  This was it.  And the faster she got to this egg, the faster she could get to another one.  That was, if there were any other eggs left for her.

[GrayGriffin]

Alfred hissed in partial anger as his egg was snatched away. Turning quickly, he started off towards the other one. However, remembering the Fenref, he began to hum again, still under his breath.
