Atlas Health and Fitness Center, Sunday Afternoon

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

Following his chat in the park with Phoebe, Bond decided a swim would give him a good chance to clear his head and think a bit. The weather was a little too cold for ocean bathing, even by his standards, so he walked through town until he found what he was looking for -- a full-service gym with a pool.


[ooc: Atlas is an NPC establishment, and totally moddable. I'll set up a thread for the pool, feel free to jump in or to start your own thread for any other part of the gym.]

Pool

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

After renting a locker and making a stop at the sports shop to purchase a pair of swim trunks, Bond headed straight for the pool, and commenced to doing laps while he processed the information he'd gathered so far.

After last night and her savvy spy techniques, Annette needed the water on her body. She was a bit tense. Maybe a bit stressed. Perhaps a little paranoid about who was who and the lion and all that...

She spotted Mr. Aziraphale doing some laps and she settled herself in the water, content to just watch him for now.

Once he'd gotten a good workout, Bond surfaced and pulled himself up onto the edge of the pool. Wiping the water off his face with his hand, he took a look around the area and spotted the young woman who was watching him.

With a little grin, he stood and walked over to where she was lounging in the water. "Mind if I join you?"

"Not at all," Annette smiled at him, appreciating his fine physique.

Since she knew he was an angel, she teased him a bit. "He knew what He was doing when he made you, didn't He?"

Re: Pool

Well, this was a bold one! Bond's grin grew wider, and he slipped down into the water next to Annette.

"You know, I think that's the nicest thing a young woman's ever told me." He gave her a once-over. "He wasn't doing badly at all in your case either."

Re: Pool

[misshargrove.livejournal.com]

She smiled at him, warmly. "That is hard to believe and I think you are teasing me telling me that."

His once-over was not hard to miss and it caught her off guard for a second. Maybe two. An angel checking her out? How cool was that?

Annette blushed and wiggled her toes. "Thank you."

Re: Pool

"I never tease unless I'm asked to," Bond replied, with a wink.

He grinned at the blush. "So, who do I have the pleasure of trading compliments with?"

Aly hadn't spent much of the weekend outside her apartment so far so when she got to feeling bored and lazy, she decided to head over to the pool never mind she'd never been there before in her life omg.

And was very appreciative of the male fom in the pool. She sat on the ledge of the pool before jumping in, dabbling her feet in the water and watching him.

Re: Pool

Bond was always appreciative to be surrounded by attractive young women in bathing suits himself. Working it so that he completed the laps he was doing near where Aly sat, he tossed his head back to shake the water from it and grinned up at her.

"I'm afraid you're not going to get much of a tan sunbathing in here. The water's good and warm, though."

Re: Pool

Aly raised an eyebrow and grinned back at him. "I'll bet it is. New to town?" she asked.

Re: Pool

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

"New, and only visiting." Bond leaned an arm on the edge of the pool. "Can I assume from your question that you're a resident?"

Re: Pool

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

"Teacher at the school," Aly replied. She pouted a bit. "Sad to hear you're only visiting. Anyway we could convince you to stay?"

Re: Pool

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

"Act as suspicious as you possibly can, and maybe I can convince my employer to keep me around a while longer." Bond grinned at the little pout. "This is supposed to be a business trip, but I can't see why a man can't mix business and pleasure. Is the town that interesting, that I should want to stay longer?"

"Swimming, swimming, in the swimming pool . . ." Ms Frizzle hummed as she cheerfully backstroked along.

Re: Pool

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

Bond noticed the woman singing as she swam, and chuckled to himself. He nodded politely as she backstroked past.

Re: Pool

[getfrizzled.livejournal.com]

"Hello~o, Mr Phale!" she greeted him cheerfully, disappearing under the water and surfacing closer.

Re: Pool

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

"I am terribly sorry to disappoint you, madam," Bond replied, raising an eyebrow and marking down yet another in the list of people he could possibly get information from concerning this 'Mr Fail' guy. "The name's Bond."

Re: Pool

[getfrizzled.livejournal.com]

She laughed lightly. "Ooops! So sorry, my mistake!" She bobbed a bit. "Valerie!"

Re: Pool

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

Responding to her laughter with a grin, Bond said, "Pleasure to meet you, Valerie. And you can call me James. You're not the first person to mistake me for someone else lately."

Rita was just killing time until heading for the bank. She had the last of her plans to finalize, after all.

She didn't have a bathing costume with her, but she did take off her shoes and socks, and dangle her feet in the water, watching the swimmer as he did the backstroke. Just because Eric was her one and only, didn't mean she couldn't appreciate the view.

Re: Pool

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

Well, Bond had no problem being appreciated. He finished his laps and swam over, looking up at the young woman with a smile. "You'll enjoy it more if you actually get into the water, you know."

Re: Pool

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"I haven't got a bathing costume with me." Rita gave him her best smile, swirling her ankles in the water. "And I'm supposed to be meeting a friend in an hour. I hope you don't mind me just lazing here on the side?"

Re: Pool

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

"I never mind the presence of a pretty lady," Bond replied, putting a hand on the tile to anchor himself. "Is your friend meeting you here, or are you the type who hangs around poolside and ogles the natives?"

Re: Pool

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"I'm afraid I ogle the natives," Rita purred, pulling her glasses down, and doing just that. "Most of the children at the school are just-- too immature." She shrugged her shoulders, and placed her hand close to his. "And I do so love this century's lack of ridiculous modesty."

Waldo - wearing a striped full body swimsuit - was climbing the ladder to the diving board. Once he reached the top, though, he used his magical walking stick to leave. And change clothes.
