Chrissy and Mai

"Geronimo!" Chrissy shouted as she dove into to the sea from the shore. It ended up looking like a sloppy bellyflop, instead. Mai giggled as she watched Chrissy dive in. She swam up beside Chrissy and poked her in the stomach. "What was kinda dive was that silly leawolf?" Chrissy gave Mai a disgruntled look. "Just because you happen to be graceful doesn't mean that I have to be." She shoves gigantic pawfulls of water at Mai, playfully trying get a rise out of the merham. Mai spits out the water that happened to go in her mouth and starts to splash Chrissy with her tail, starting a full blown water fight between the two.

Runningstream .::. Mudpelt

A hydrokuhna dn cake kuhna were sitting on one of the hills near the sea. The hydrokuhna, Runningstream, couldn't help but notice the water fight going on between the two creatures in the water below. She smiles to herself. It would be so much fun to join! She turned to her companion, the cake kuhna, Mudpelt. "Wanna go join 'em Mud?" she asked him with a playful grin on her face. "I'll race ya!" Mudpelt smiles at his lifemate. Stream always wanted to play, he always wanted to eat. He wasn't too happy at the prospect of running that far, but he would do it for her. It wasn't that he was lazy, but rather that it was a rather hot day. "Err, okay," he said happily before taking off down the slope. Stream ran after him, trying to catch up to him. He was always faster on land that she was, but she could beat him swimming any day. Stream leapt from the shore into the water. "Whee!" she screamed just before she hit the water. She went underneath and swam around a bit before emerging to find Mudpelt yelling, "Cannonball!" The cake kuhna hit the water and Stream felt the water rush back and hit her. She swam over to him and nosed his cheek. Then she smiled quickly and swam over to the merham and leawolf. "Hello!" she greeted them from a ways off. "I'm Stream and this is Mud," she introduced them. Mud caught up to Stream just in time to hear her intorduction. He just nodded and smiled to confirm what she said. They didn't want to get caught in the middle of the water fight without being introduced first.

- Altair; Malphas; currently Quad form-

The weather was warming up compared to the cold winter it had been, and more and more people were going outside. It wasn't that hot, though it was certainly warm enough to swim, and the sun rose high in the serene halcyon sky. A few tufty clouds hovered above Jawan, its beaches full of children and pets splashing around in the water and having fun.
Of course, Altair could see none of this. Such was the issue with blindness, though he could clearly feel the warmth around him while he, being a Malphas, radiated ominously freezing air. He could tell that it was 'nice' out, though he preferred the weather much cooler, and that the beaches were quite crowded. The Malphas had never been much of a crowd person, though it made sense as his species was typically solitary. Well, that did make sense- they did tote around a rather negative reputation. Though Altair wasn't nearly as violent and harsh of countenance as those who shared his species, it could be rather hard to tell, and the aura he gave off was that of something relatively more 'evil'.
Still, he did not seem to have a problem with being alone. Indeed, he seemed to enjoy it. Walking on all fours using his clawed wings as a pair of front legs, the Malphas's long and powerful tail dragged a line in the dampened sand. Altair was paying just enough attention to know where he was going, simply taking in the sea air and all that business. However, it soon came to his attention that others were nearby.
Something combined with animalian and plant aspects- a leawolf, Altair guessed- and something both furry and piscine... a merham, perhaps. Then two unmistakably feline smells, which the Malphas supposed were two kuhnas accompanying them. Or, perhaps, they had only just arrived. Judging by the introductions and the sounds of splashing several meters away, however, everyone seemed to be having at least some fun.
If he could see the group they would be relatively in the distance though their appearance would've been somewhat clear, and such was the same for him. Nearby was a sort of rocky outcropping, surrounded in grass and given four or five trees. It was a pitiful excuse for plant growth, honestly, and it seemed to be having some difficulty thriving in the sand.
Whatever the case, Altair clambered relatively noiselessly to the top of the rock pile, hoping no snakes were in there, and simply observed for the moment. Of course, he couldn't see, so it was more of a sightless observing. Simply staying low for now, or at least until they noticed him. He figured they might be a bit alarmed, but quite honestly Altair didn't want to end this walk already and have to turn around to walk all the way back where he came from.

OOC: Sorry about the wait. I had a post for this, then my computer ate it. Darn thing never listens to me.

Chrissy smiled at the pair. "Hiya, my name's Chrissy, and this here's Mai." Mai smiled sweetly to the pair "Glad to meet you. Would you guys like to come play with us? It'll be so much fun to have more friends to play with." Chrissy nods in agreement. "Absolutely you guys should join. I vote for tag, and Mai's it." She smacks the merham in the back before she takes off swimming as fast as she can. "Hey! No fair Chrissy, that's cheating!" She is about to go after her when she sees a figure watching them in the distance. Mai cocks her head and squints to try and see who or what it was. "I wonder who that is?"

Chrissy pops back up to find Mai still in the same spot "Hey are you going to play or be pouty 'cause your it?" Then she sees what she is staring at. She couldn't make what it was either. She swims over to Mai. "Tag me." Mai looks over at Chrissy "What?" "You heard me half-fish. Tag me! That way you can see who it is while the rest of us can still play." Mai looks back over to the figure "I don't know. Do you think it's nice?" Chrissy nods and starts to nudge her towards the shore "Sure I do. You'll be fine." She turns her attention to the Khunas again "You guys had better start swimmin' or I'm gonna get ya."

"It's nice to meet you," Stream said happily. Mud nodded in agreement. He wasn't much of a talker. "We'd love to play with you!" Stream added at the mention of playing. She turned to Mud, who smiled. "Okay," he said, giving in to her. They both swam away when Mai was called as 'it'. Mud was far enough away that he wasn't sure what they were talking about. Stream was a little closer and so swam out to tell Mud what was going on. "Chrissy's it," she whispered. "Cause Mai is going to see who that is." She finished her sentence, then nodded to the Malphas sitting over all by himself. "Oh," he said, finally realizing what was going on. "Then we better get swimming!" He splashed Stream before diving under the water and swimming further out. Stream swam in the opposite direction. "Betcha can't get me!" she yelled to the leawolf as she swam further away.

After a few minutes the talking and splashing seemed to die down a bit, or at least something was happening, though Altair was not quite sure what that could be. Perhaps, the Malphas figured, they had already noticed him. He wasn't quite sure of that until he noticed one of the figures approaching and turned his head in its general direction. It was the Merham, evidently, and seemed to be a bit reluctant about coming up to him. That made sense, the Malphas supposed. After all, you never knew if the person you were approaching was going to eat you or offer you a tray of cupcakes, even on what others would call such a nice day.
He tilted his head slightly once the Merham seemed to be reasonably close to him. Whether he was looking directly at the creature or not Altair was not quite sure, but it wouldn't be that easy to tell what with his lack of pupils. At least he knew that his head was facing it so that he appeared to be seeing.
"Hello." Yes, what a spectacularly interesting introduction. It was no surprise that, perhaps unfortunately, Altair was not quite what one would call 'socially adept'. Indeed, he was hardly a people person at all, though that was not to say he didn't like people. Altair found them quite interesting, in fact, just not in groups, as all the commotion was really too much for him to handle. He wasn't quite sure, as such, if that 'hello' came off as sinister or friendly or relatively neutral. Well, he could try, couldn't he?
Other than all this, the Malphas was beginning to wish he had brought his sketchpad. Even if he went to his human form he would have nothing to write with, and he would then be able to draw the beach. Maybe if he made friends or acquaintances with the group of four that was here he would've been able to draw them, too.

Mai rode a wave into the shore landing with a light thump onto of the sand. When she finally was able to get a look at the creature she froze in a mixture of amazement and horror. She had never seen anything like him before in her whole life. She moved closer towards the malphas worried at how he would react towards her. She reached up to tap the creature's tail and pauses to swallow. She hoped that his first instinct was not to eat her. She is about to touch him when he turns his head and greets her. She is so taken aback, she falls backward. "I, um..." Mai gulped again, trying to get control of her fear "My friends and I were...um...wondering if... ah...you would like to come swimming with us?" She looked up into his eyes and realized he was blind. The poor creature. Her fear slowly turned to sympathy as she wondered what it would be like to be blind. He must feel so lonely.

Chrissy smirks at Streams challenge. You want a chase, you got it. She disappeared under the water's surface and began to swim as hard and fast as she could racing towards the hydrokhuna. She would deal with the cake khuna later. She wasn't going to pass up any chalenge thrown at her. You're not going to get away that easily. Chrissy thought to herself as she urged her self forward following Stream's streak of blue fur.

Stream looked behind her for the leawolf. Stream couldn't find her in the waves. Nevertheless, she continued on. She was swimming further from shore. She was an expert swimmer, this was nothing for her. Swimming was a hobby of hers. She decided to swim back a little bit, so it would be fairer for Chrissy, and Mud for that matter. Where was he anyway? She saw him, further closer to the shore, but swimming away from Chrissy nevertheless.
Mud swam as fast as he could. He wasn't that fast it water, and felt as a duck probably did on land. h elooked around him. Chrissy was chasing Stream. Mud relaxed a bit. They were nowhere near him.

As Altair had, in part, expected, the Merham seemed relatively afraid of him. He could not see her, of course, but her voice was full of stutters and she seemed overall quite nervous. Well, perhaps he could help with that, though he knew that some people just couldn't be cured of their close-mindedness. Of course, he had just met this creature, and had no idea of its personality. She did seem rather timid right now, however. The Malphas tilted his head a bit more in the opposite direction once Mai asked him to come over to her friends and go swimming with them.
It seemed kind of odd, though Altair wasn't quite sure if it was or was not a commonplace thing to run up to some stranger and ask them if they would like to go swimming. The Merham seemed to be doing this on behalf of her friends, or at least she seemed rather reluctant, and Altair couldn't quite blame her. Malphas weren't as well-known as other creatures, being solitary and usually reputed as unapproachable and cold. Altair was cold, sure, but that was more... literal.
When it came to swimming the Malphas was not quite sure if that was an activity he would like to partake in. It wasn't really his first choice for having a good time. However, he would come down to the beach with the others if they wanted him to. The group was a bit large for his tastes- though to others it was not particularly large at all- but it was not a crowd, and Altair was reasonably fine about it. He paused to think about it for a moment.
"Yes, well... if you and your friends would like, I would come down there with you." It was rather difficult to smile in this form, his head being comprised of mostly muscle and bony plating, but if he could have he would have in some form of reassurance.

Kai smiles up at Altair "Good. I'm glad you'll come and meet everyone. I don't know the others very well, but I know that my friend Chrissy will think that you're the neatest looking thing around." She steps down from the rocks carefully. Climbing up was one thing, but she was very unsteady climbing down from places due to her not having any back feet. Once she was down she let out a sight of relief. No injuries, even though it had taken her longer than most pets would have. "Sorry I held you up back there. I'm not so good with climbing because I don't have any back feet." She turns back to the shore looking to see where everyone was.

Chrissy smirks as Stream slows down. She underestimated Chrissy's swimming abilites. Chrissy pushed herself forward reaching out to try and get the hyrokhuna's tail. She was just a few inches away when her lungs started to burn. Oh no, she was so close. Chrissy decides to push forward one last time, ignoring her body's cries for air. If she didn't make this she would loose her element of surprise and would probably not be able to get this close to Stream again.

Stream felt something brush against her tail. She turned around to find Chrissy, just inches from her. She thought she saw the leawolf smile triumphantly, but she wasn't sure. All she knew was that she was it now. She went up to the surface to look for her victim. Perhaps she would find Mud and tag him, but he was far away, closer to the shore. Kai was still on the shore with the stranger. Stream decided that she would go after Mud, but not before she let everyone know that she was it. "I'm it!" she yelled at the top of her lungs and dove under the water to chase after Mud.
Mud heard Stream's voice and spun around to see her coming straight after him. He was far away from her, so he hoped that the merham would get in the water to Stream didn't attack him. He hated being it in games of tag. He wasn't very fast in the water, or on the land.

Altair peered down at the Merham, not moving too fast for fear of stepping on it or something, or at least knocking her off-balance by accidentally kicking a rock out of place. He figured that it wouldn't end up well if that happened, and so he only crept all of the way down the outcropping once the Merham had once again landed upon the wet sand of the sure. The Malphas tilted its head in a relatively birdlike motion once the fish-mammal-rather odd creature apologized. The only time he had encountered one of these was very briefly, being taken out of a pet store in a sort of box or some other kind of container. It had seemed rather unpleasant.
"Er, yes, no problem at all." Altair did understand- it must be difficult to climb down (and up) most things with a lack of back feet. His long tail flicked idly in the sand, his head tilting a little to the side again as he listened to what he could hear of those who were a bit further down the beach. Splashes, excited talking, that sort of thing. Playing about in the water wasn't exactly his idea of having fun, but he certainly had no qualms with joining them.

Mai spots the three playing tag in the water not too far away.  Good, that would make calling in everyone a little easier. "Chrissy, Mud, Stream, I have someone you should meet." Hopefully they had heard her. "By the way," she looks up at Altair "What's your name. I never did ask when I first saw you?"

Chrissy splashed triumphantly when she caught Stream's tail. "Woohoo! I win!" Then she quickly swims away from Stream makeing sure that she isn't caught. When she turns back to look behind her she sees that Stream is chasing after Mud and slows her speed. She wasn't the target, so why should she rush. She watches the two swim, thinking that they were kinda cute together in a mushy sort of way. As Mai calls out to her, her ears perk and she turns to see a gigantic black figure next to her friend. This she had to see.

Stream flet the water as is brushed across her smooth pelt. It felt nice to be one with the water. She knew it was cheating, but she just wanted to relish the moment for a little. Also, disappearing in the water was fun. Especially when she jumped out and scared Mud. She giggled and the bubbles flew out of her mouth and hit the surface. Oops. She almost gave herself away. Before she could get close enough to Mud, however, she heard Mai call her name. She immediately reformed and became visible again. She had been so close. "Time out!" She called before swimming to the shore line to meet the new creature.
Mud was relieved when Mai called to them and Stream called a time out. he had time to catch his breath without the threat of being caught. As he swam up to the shore line he ended up next to Stream. "Cheater," he whispered under his breath to the hydrokuhna. Stream only giggled and stuck her tongue out. "I only wanted to scare you," she whispered into his ear. Her breath tickled his ear and sent a shiver down Mud's spine. He only stuck his tongue out at her before they climbed onto the shore and shook themselves off, facing the merham and malphas.

"Altair," the Malphas offered once the Merham asked for his name. He had always kind of liked it, even if it wasn't befitting. It meant 'star', after all, and for the most part the Malphas did not think he was anything particularly spectacular. I mean, sure, he had his quirky abilities and he was surprisingly infallible for a blind person/creature. At least, when he was not distracted, and it didn't seem to be particularly easy to distract him.
The long, white-to-purple feathers alongside his avian earholes twitched along with the noise that the beachgoers were currently making, laying back against his fluffy-feathered neck as he was sprinkled with miniscule drops of water. Some of the larger ones froze once they got particularly close to him, falling to the ground and melting in the heat soon afterwards. It was pretty intriguing, especially considering that with Malphas the freezing temperatures did not seem to make them uncomfortable.
Altair tilted his skull-like head slightly once the Merham's friends approached him, not knowing exactly what to say. He figured, then, that he might as well start with a greeting. He was really not used to dealing with this many people at once, even though it was only four. He simply preferred meeting people one-on-one, as it was so much easier to get to know people that way. His senses simply couldn't pick up all of the differing signals coming from multiple targets- there was only so much he could do being blind, though his other abilities were somewhat more honed with him being so.
