"Right behind ya."
Well, Iollan doesn't remember any fountains being removed. They probably were cleaned recently, though. So they should be sparkly.

((Kinda was waiting for Apollo to be POVed, unless I missed something?))

"Excuse me, but could one of you tell me the time?"

GalaxianExplosion · October 18, 2021 16:34:55

(Same, ngl)

Echowo · October 18, 2021 19:37:25

(I'm such a bad Narrator, I forgot Apollo exists sjcjkskvkf into Narrator Jail I go-)

Apollo said, "Imma guess and say it's eleven thirty!" Apollo doesn't have a watch, so he doesn't know exactly, and the thought of pulling out his phone to check hasn't occured to him yet.

Iollan looks at his watch, looks directly at Apollo, and just grins.

(HWHFJWJFJEJF)

Apollo smiled back, excited, "Am I right?!"

(I can't remember if we actually made a vague description of the time. If I re-read this thread and see that, I'll edit both posts accordingly.)

"Off by around half an hour. Probably my fault," he adds, referring to how he dragged them all outside for a bit. "Being an astronomer has its perks, huh?" he asks, his grin now being better described as a smile. "Or is it a natural talent?"

Echowo · October 19, 2021 14:27:07

"It's a little bit of both," Apollo said.

GalaxianExplosion · October 19, 2021 16:22:55

How modest.
"Ah. Can't say I'm not jealous." He pauses, then grins a little more. "Though maybe if you happen to be there when I'm running and I've forgotten my watch, you could time me."
Yeah! Service exploitations.

SpecterTheGreat · October 19, 2021 17:15:47

"Being able to know the time with a glance at the sky sounds like a vey useful application of your talent," Germaine complimented.

Echowo · October 19, 2021 18:19:32

Apollo lightly laughed.

"That reminds me of my days as a student! People would ask me the time a lot, and I'm real good at keeping track of things. Never was late except for once in my third year 'cause I slept in. I had stayed up aaaallllllll night doing some charting and research due to the exams that were coming up and... oh, uh, also thank you!"

Apollo blushed a bit, realizing he was rambling and kind of boasting a bit too much, which caused him to almost forget to thank Germaine for the compliment.

Apollo stuffed his hands into his pockets, looking around the hallway to try to hide his embarrassment.

SpecterTheGreat · October 20, 2021 19:23:21

"Guess your teachers were happy to have you as a student."
After the next turn, Germaine gestured forward. "Ah, there's the fountain! Have your fill," she said with a grin.

GalaxianExplosion · October 21, 2021 00:08:21

"Don't think that you can escape the fate of drinking its holy fountain water as well," Iollan says all ominously to Germaine. "You need to hydrate from all that time under the sun."

Echowo · October 22, 2021 05:52:15

Apollo went over and drank from the water fountain.

SpecterTheGreat · October 22, 2021 17:35:36

"Well, it really looks refreshing," commented Germaine.

GalaxianExplosion · October 22, 2021 18:21:31

"Is it?" Iollan asks Apollo, not really expecting an actual answer.

Echowo · October 24, 2021 11:18:49

Apollo gave a happy thumbs up, stepping away from the fountain to let Germaine drink.

SpecterTheGreat · October 24, 2021 22:10:57

"Good to know."
Germaine let the water run for a couple seconds before leaning over to take a sip. Indeed, the water was fresh and cool. Perfect for the weather.

GalaxianExplosion · October 24, 2021 22:26:17

(Me, now feeling nostalgia for water fountains: )

Iollan stands there and tries to not guess at whom they'll be meeting too much. Still, he's never been very good at stopping himself from thinking, at least when he's already started.

Echowo · October 24, 2021 22:59:16

Apollo stood around awkwardly, spacing out...

Water, water, ocean, pool! Apollo liked swimming. Too bad summer was soon going to be over, and Apollo probably wouldn't have time to swim due to school, huh. Ocean... seashells! Seashells are nice, all pretty and such. Smooth shells, rough shells, bumpy shells, bland shells, colorful shells, Apollo liked shells.

SpecterTheGreat · October 26, 2021 20:30:23

Not more than a minute passed before she was done drinking. Germaine straightened and dabbed at the edge of her mouth with her hand's side.
"I suppose we should get to the office now?"

GalaxianExplosion · October 26, 2021 22:31:29

(The message cut off at "dabbed" on the phone. Real funny.)

"Probably, yeah," Iollan agrees. He glances at Apollo. "How about it, Apollo? Is this unanimous?"

Echowo · October 26, 2021 23:16:07

Apollo, who had no idea of what he was asked, nodded and said, "Yeah." The guy prayed that he didn't just screw the conversation up and sounded idiotic.

GalaxianExplosion · October 27, 2021 15:06:11

"Germaine's done live-drating," Iollan prompts, most likely knowing that Apollo's just pulling out what he hopes is right.

SpecterTheGreat · October 27, 2021 15:34:37

"Haha, I have! I suppose we go to the office now, right?"
Germaine crossed her arms.

GalaxianExplosion · October 27, 2021 16:55:30

"You okay with that, Apollo?"

Echowo · October 27, 2021 18:34:00

Apollo blinked, took a moment again, and then smiled, finally registering what he was asked, "Oh! Yea! Let's go!"

GalaxianExplosion · October 28, 2021 22:07:58

(I think we all get that they all walk to the office, so timeskip?)

SpecterTheGreat · October 28, 2021 22:08:45

((Fine by me))

Echowo · October 28, 2021 22:57:45
