I don't THINK I talk to the fish, I KNOW I talk to the fish! And anything else that swims!

[As though to prove it, he reaches down, just barely missing the surface of the water, and a hermit crab hops into his palm.]

Say hello, little guy!

[The hermit crab waves a pincer around in an approximation of a wave.]

Don't worry about the makeup--I'll be careful!

[And he grins pretty broadly in an answer to that question.]

I'm not sure what my range is, but I can sure try! Dolphins are great conversational partners!

[He's holding two fingers to the side of his head, like it's helping him think.]

I might have a couple of them...

[italktofish]

Hey, you've got a point, there!

[He goes quiet for about ten seconds before starting up with the all-new song, "The Wheels on the Van Go Round and Round."]

[ursoreckless]

[what? what? seriously? Shou has to wiggle free, dancing over to the edge of the ocean before snorting and tossing his loaded gun at Riku. He picks up his bag and takes out his spare gun and bends down to fill it up.]

You're on! One on one, winner gets totally dunked!

[depolarized]

[Riku catches the gun, brandishing it at Shou.] Works for me--If you can catch me when I win.

[He kneels to fill up the tank, too, simply submerging the pistol in the water and watching the bubbles go up.]

[ursoreckless]

I'll catch you alright! [finishes filling up and waits, his gun at the ready.]

You're not that fast.

[depolarized]

[Camera men get hungry too, so Riku picks up a slice from a box.] Thanks. Still kinda surprised, seeing you here.

[depolarized]

Wanna bet on it?

[He finishes filling up and levels the pistol at Shou.] I won't take it easy on you.

[ursoreckless]

Don't wanna cuz it'll be stealing money.

[levels the gun on him, still smiling] I wouldn't ask for it any other way.

[depolarized]

On 3. [He grins back and turns around to start calling out the numbers.] 2... 1...Go!

[He rolls to the side, splashing in the water.]

[ursoreckless]

[Shou laughs and then fires in his general direction, moving away but not too far away. it would be pointless if they get out of the range of their guns after all.]

How long should we keep this up?

[depolarized]

[Riku runs after him, shooting jets of water as he circled to keep moving, trying to get close without getting hit.] One round, one tank, if you're out, you're out.

[ursoreckless]

[some water hits but they were only flesh wounds. Shou laughs and shakes his head, firing but not exactly aiming anywhere in particular as he dodges around a stack of chairs.]

That sounds just right.

[depolarized]

Come on, Shou, is that really the best you've got? I thought you were better than that. [He laughed, the words spilling out easily, familiar in a way that didn't quite line up. He ducked to dodge a wide shot, choosing to save his ammo for now.]

[depolarized]

[Riku had been sitting with his earphones jammed in his ears, riding shotgun. The moment Arthur starts up again he groans.] Not helping. Just drive faster.

[Adds in a mutter.] Before he makes you sing, too.

[darkremnant]

I'd swerve this van into a tree before that happened. [Van muttered back.] Maybe we can distract him...

Hey, fish guy. How about playing a car game? You guys know "I spy"? [It wasn't a great out, but it was a lesser of two evils.]

[depolarized]

What, really? [Guess who just got derailed. How many times do you see dolphins out of aquariums, man. He needs his camera.] Can you tell them what to do, too?

[Cogs, they're turning.]

[ursoreckless]

If you insist on me getting serious... [his next shot was much more focused, aiming for his chest.] I will.

[depolarized]

Walk the talk! [And oh, that was close, he dodges but his left arm gets soaked. He laughs anyway, twisting to aim the water gun at Shou's face and pressing the trigger.] That's more like it!

[ursoreckless]

Ha! Is that all you can aim for? [and he dodges it, twisting so that the shot that was for his face hit him on the shoulder instead a fatality. he still wasn't sure about how this uncanny reflexes came about, but he has been getting better with them thanks to working out in the gym.

laughing, he aims his next one at his other arm.]

C'mon, put your balls into it!

[depolarized]

[Nice reflexes, Riku's honestly impressed, but he doesn't have time to admire it long, since his other arm gets wet but he's already moving again, sweeping water out with a kick towards Shou's legs to distract him.]

Takes more than balls to fight. [And with that he squirts out a jet of water at Shou.] And what's with the voice? Here to collect?

[ursoreckless]

Want me to collect? It might get a little painful. [he flips in mid-air landing slightly off because of the sand but he still has his gun and he still fires it, though the shot is a bit wide.]

How are for ammo? I'm running a low.

[shambles]

[A nod in response.] Of course.

Truth be told, I'm kind of surprised I'm here. [He's attempting to save his makeup by eating pizza in the most unamerican way possible--with a fork and knife. He came PREPARED.] Can't say it's how I imagined spending a weekend. Ever, really.

Apparently my sister's a fan of the series though. [Yeah, that's who convinced him in the end. "You should model for it!" she said. "It'll be fun!" she said.] And the extra money is always nice.

[depolarized]

You can just try. [Riku watches the water go wide and moves in closer, checking the tank with a glance.] About half.

[Then he shot at Shou, three long depressions on the trigger.] Whoops. Not anymore.

[italktofish]

I Spy, huh?

[Well, at least Arthur stopped singing. That's a plus. The guy can't help it if it was a boring drive otherwise.]

ALRIGHT, then! I spy something...green!

[Have fun with that.]

[italktofish]

Well, yeah! If they feel like listening!

[But most of the time, swimming things usually felt like listening to Arthur. Where marine life is concerned, he's got a magnetic personality.

In the distance, a dolphin jumps out of the water.]
