Jodie got changed into a mermaid in public and we were wondering if it was a baleful transformation involved. You know what baleful means, right? Can Mercury check if it is and if it is can you dispel it? My 'cousin' Rebecca owes you one." Rob smiled. Serena has always had the way of brightening up the day in either form. And she has caught Rob transforming into Lady Heart once when they both shared an appointment with the Council. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Rand Posted October 29, 2020 Report Share Posted October 29, 2020 "Sure," Sailor Moon says as Sailor Mercury pulls out her microcomputer and scans Jodie. Spotting Rosemary, she shows her the readings. "Jodie's stress level is quite high," Rosemary says. "If your healing doesn't work, Nancy Adams, the meet lifeguard, might be able to calm her down. Then, we have to figure out what happened." "Right," Sailor Moon says. Aiming her Moon Scepter at Jodie, she says, "Moon Healing Escalation!" Energy strikes Jodie, but she doesn't change. "So, it wasn't evil magic," Rosemary says. "Maybe stress activated some long-dormant gene." "If that's the case, she can't swim in competition," says Principal Swanby from her seat in the stands. "The Faraday Memorial Clinic will have to examine her. I'll make my final decision based on what they tell me." "What's she going to do," Jodie's mother wails. "Swimming competition's her whole life?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"...it is odd that there are no male merpeople, only females that we know of." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steriaca Posted October 29, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2020 "I'm not allowed to say her name. The Trismatic Council knows her. Anyways, the Council will get in touch with her and she'll decide if it is ok to reveal her secret with her. As for me...honestly you don't want to know why I'm close to the Council except it has to do with my cousin Rebecca." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Rand Posted October 29, 2020 Report Share Posted October 29, 2020 The first heat ends. While the second heat swimmers go to the blocks and the scorers and timers work, Nancy gets permission to give Jodie a quick lesson on mermaid-style swimming in the pool. At the time, Coach Kramer says to Jodie's mother, "I'm going to make Jodie the student assistant coach." "Thank you," Jodie's mother says. At the same time, Nancy says, "The mermaid-style kick is the dolphin or butterfly kick." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does he see anyone he knows who doesn't go to hos school in the audience? There are some adults there that could be parents of the members of the two swim teams. Additionally, the Sailor Scouts are still there. In unrelated news, Jodie changes back to human and she and Nancy vacate the pool by the audience-side ladder at the deep end.

"Othoe having to change into a girl to tap into it is slightly disturbing, but understandable. Both our sources of power depend on gender, as the Council told me. If you have any problems you girls need help with, feal free to ask. You know the number to the Council, and the Justice Foundation." In between a pur from Luna, still pretending to be a normal cat, he whispers "That includes you also." He then leaves them to watch the rest of the swim meet.

Mark Rand Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 A high school swim meet, including warmups and signing in, normally lasts about three hours for swimmers of one sex. However, due to Jodie's transformation, the meet will be placed on hold, by the referee, until the next day after the first event, the 200-yard medley relay, is completed. All tickets will be honored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
