 [u][b] Los Paraísos: The Beach [/u][/b]

Aria blinked as Amy’s serve fell short and the woman turned scarlet in embarrassment. “Good try,” she offered with a smile. It seemed everyone was willing to make some effort now so perhaps they had a fighting chance at last? Moira made a leap for the ball as it soared over the net, smashing it over with tremendous strength enough to create a shockwave at impact. Even more surprisingly the men managed to send the ball back, which immediately made impact with Syed’s… Lower regions. The illusionist gave a small wince of sympathy as he went down squeaking. 

Moira had no time for the fallen it seemed, and instead launched into a very brief and enthusiastic pep talk as the men on the other side of the net starting stretching and flexing in strange poses once more while laughing. 

Aria cracked her knuckles, a determined glint in her eyes as the other team got ready to serve Briefly she pondered the idea of distracting them with some illusion.An angry seagull perhaps? Perhaps a busty blonde would be better fitted for that group- Ooh, what about a nice sea serpent rising out of the beach? Oh wait, she had promised Xan not to do any more man-eating monsters in public areas.

Too bad, that had been a fun day.

Oh well, those could come later, she decided, taking a few steps back with a shout of "I've got it!" in the hot sand and bouncing the ball in the air with a [i]thwack[/i]as the game started again with a few whoops from the audience that had gathered round the court. It was no fun taking the easy route to victory right off the bat after all.
