Despite the fact that she and Josh were in Tirisano for the month, Dru had been eagerly awaiting the first surf contest at King's Cove in Rhy'Din. After a long discussion with her uncle - for discussion, read argument - she'd won herself and her husband the day free, with permission to skip the first day of the regatta on their own little stretch of coastline, to boot.

Her name went down on the sign up sheet almost as soon as it appeared, by some mysterious means, her entry fee paid straight into her sister's account.

Not to be outdone by his wife, Josh plunked down his twenty silvers and scribbled his signature on the sign-up sheet. He already had a Custom Kings surfboard, but it wasn't about that - it was about the challenge. It was for a good cause, and it didn't hurt to own more than one surfboard anyway, did it? Josh Stuart

The schmooze was just sort of meandering along when he'd catch sight of that sign and sign up sheet. Surfing....that was that thing on the water that you did with the oversize popsicle stick right' Despite his rather lax knowledge of the proper vernacular the man did in fact know how to surf thanks to a few vacations and at least one assignment out to some coastal resort ports back on his home world. Was he a great surfer? Hell no! But the man was good enough with a natural knack for such given his balance building parkour and hey, it was for a good cause!

Stepping up he'd fill out his name and deposit the sign up fee into the donation box.

Eli "Mach" Turner

There was a momentary pause as he considered writing down a few other peoples names though he'd chalk such up as a truly bad idea.

Claire had hemmed and hawed over whether to join or not after seeing the advertisement for it. She went so far as to break her board out to see just how rusty she was before returning to her noncommittal contemplation. But a little birdie told her than a certain boyfriend of her sister's would be joining so she took it as a sign and sent her registration form and fee. It was for a good cause right' Claire had always been a sucker for children of the parentless variety. And who knows....maybe it'd even be fun.

While Jewell was preparing for her first attempt at snowboarding with Kalamere, which basically included a lot of shopping for cute winter gear, she saw the sign for the surfing contest. Although it had been a long time since The Empress had attempted the water sport, and even though she was now missing her connection to her Mother element, she wasted no time in not only signing herself up but signing Sapphire up for the contest as well.

The Redneck

Nevermind that she knew damn good and well she couldn't surf. Nevermind that at all.

What mattered to the redneck was having fun and kicking in to help folk who needed it.

When she saw the sign-ups she barely hesitated before signing her name on the line.

Thorn.

Now, to see if she could convince Roan to give it a shot as well.

The Halcyon

Halcyon paused as she read the advertisement for the surfing contest, her head tilting. After a few moments, her horse stepped up behind her, resting his enormous jaw onto her head.

"Another excuse to strip to your skivvies and show off your tan," Stupid chided.

"Dasn't be vulgar," Halcyon chided, "I do nay surf nor tan in me skivvies. T'would leave lines."

The giant destrier rolled his sunlight eyes upwards, moving as Halcyon turned to sign for the event, paying in her coins to register.

"Come, I need fetch me longboard from me room," Halcyon decided, grabbing Stupid's chest harness as if she could haul the brute around. She could, but Stupid wasn't about to admit it.

"High tide is a few hours yet," Stupid reminded her.

"Then I shall have time to wax the board anew. Come, Stupid. The sun shall nay stand all day," she retorted. A few days, or weeks even, lazing on the beach sounded more than fair to her, and if there was surfing, more the better.

Soon enough, she had on bright floral bikini and her brilliant blue longboard strapped to Stupid's side, heading out for the beach.

"Uh....bloody hell yes! You bet yer saggin' bloomers I'm doin' this!" Janie growled as she read over the ad posted for the surf competition. "It's been absolutely ages since I did anything fun!" Those big blue eyes widened slightly more with excitement as she nodded to Sheryl.

"Yes, but what about those traveling merchants that were brothers that you met last week? You said that doing them was fun..." Cheryl's curly head canted to the side as one eyebrow arched.

The beach bunny waved her off, "No, not that kind of fun. I mean the kind of fun where we don't have to worry about Izzy the Hun findin' out." She chuckled lightly and looked back over the poster.

"Well in that case I think this would be the perfect event for you!" The nice thing about being naive is that sometimes people don't get when you're being sarcastic. Sheryl simply grinned at her Sister.

"Yeah..." Janie mused and gazed at the poster with something akin to a sleepy contentment. After a few moments (and after Sheryl had already started down the street, the surfer girl grinned, "Those brothers were rather fun..." Nearly skipping to catch up with Sheryl, Janie's smile beamed from ear to ear.

It was not a secret that Constance was drawn to water like a moth to the flame, but as she was born "on the island" as they liked to say, surfing was a secret sort of talent. Naturally her younger brother as well as her cousins were more skilled at the sport, but she could hold her own.

With a flourish in her signature, she signed her name at the bottom of the list of competitors and dropped off the donation and fee.

Constance O"Connor

And who knows! This may be the first time many people had ever seen her out and about not wearing a dress! "Though her swimsuit might have a skirt attached.

She still wasn't quite sure how she ended up there, writing on a paper and placing money down to join but sure enough there was the Keeper, signing her name! Janie would probably be tickled if she knew that the Keeper was signing up. All those lessons. Who knew it would of came in handy!

Kai

Short and ever so simple. Left with her registration would be a small pouch that held not coins but small, precious jewels. A small little donation on the Keepers behalf.

Not the best surfer, but always willing to try. Terry set her sights on the tournament as a way to try and clear her mind; at least for possibly a few hours.

Terry King, she signed. Now it's time to buy a surf board and pray she doesn't look like a total idiot out there.
