Subject: Did someone say chicken?
In reply to: Saras 's message, "splish splash" on 17:14:01 02/01/02 Fri

Corum sensed that maybe Barry was a little disappointed at what he had said, but he simply shrugged it off. Maybe they had both been wrong, and this was the only way either of them was going to learn about each other. Corum still thought he held some feelings for the skull, and it had nothing to do with the unusual pull he had felt back at Kazabet’s castle. Maybe someday he’d figure it out. Right now was perfect for a good swim, especially since Barry had suggested it.

“You betcha dude!” Corum stated, as the two headed toward the lake. Once there, Corum passed an article of clothing, and picked it up. He looked at Barry, and gave him a devilish smile. “Uh, you don’t think that……naw!” He laughed as he placed Isobel’s pantaloons back on the sand. “Well, someone is definitely having a very good time.”

He looked to the other end of the lake, and spotted Rowan, Jeremy, and Saras, and heard the word chicken. Well this was definitely a good sign. He was ready for a good swim, as well as having some good fun. He, and Barry made their way toward the other group. He placed his staff in the sand where it stood upright. “Now you’re referring Yorik, so keep an eye on things,” Corum stated as he started to strip off his clothes leaving only his underwear on. “No cheating or rooting for the other side, got it?”

The skull simply seemed to smile for a brief instance, and Corum had to shake his head. Skulls simply didn’t smile, well at least Yorik. It seemed that Barry was always smiling. But then again, Barry wasn’t Yorik, and vice versa.

He examined the situation, and quickly dove into the water, keeping his eyes on the Saras person. He still didn’t know if Saras was a man or a woman, but for now, that simply didn’t matter. What really mattered was playing chicken, and Saras had better win.

He managed to swim over to the newcomer, and dove a little before coming up under Saras’ legs. Corum grabbed Saras’ legs, and hoisted them over his shoulder, while at the same time grabbed Saras’ arms, held onto them, and pushed his way upward until he was in a standing position with Saras sitting comfortably on his shoulders.

“Did someone say chicken?” Corum stated as he smiled at the rest of the group. Quickly, Jeremy jumped on Rowan’s shoulders, and was ready to attack. Corum turned to Saras. “OK, here’s the deal. All you gotta do is make sure you knock Jeremy off of Rowan’s shoulders, and we win. Got it? Good! Now, let’s play!”

Corum moved into position, and spotted Barry. “Keep your eyes open in case they cheat,” Corum stated to the skull. “Don’t worry about falling off of me,” Corum stated to Saras. “I’ll hold onto your legs, this way you can attack with your hands. Just make sure you knock Jeremy off of Rowan.”

Well the two teams maneuvered into position, and tried to swat at each other. As quickly as the game had started, Jeremy had managed to knock Saras off of Corum, who quickly yelled out. “You cheated, you scumbag!”

Jeremy was laughing when he remembered Saras couldn’t swim. “Hey!” Jeremy shouted. “Saras can’t swim!!!”

Corum was dumbfounded. He thought that everyone could swim. He quickly turned around, and spotted a feverish Saras trying to keep his/her head above water. He quickly dove, and dragged him/her up, and eventually helped carry Saras to the shore. Once there, he sat Saras on the ground slightly leaning over, and patted him/her on the back to get some of the water out. Eventually Saras started to cough up water, and seemed to be back to normal.

“Sorry about that,” Corum stated as he addressed Saras. “I didn’t know you couldn’t swim. Had I known I wouldn’t have done that to you. “You OK?”

He hoped that Saras was ok, especially since…..oh the hell with it. He was tired of thinking of Saras as either a he or a her. “By the way,” Corum interjected. “Are you a male, or a female? The only reason I ask is cause I have no clue. Yorik over there thinks you’re a dude that looks like a lady, and I really can’t be sure. I mean you’re pretty, but like you’re not at the same time, but…..never mind.”

Corum decided he better stop his rambling. All of a sudden Barry was there hovering over him. “Where were you man?” Corum asked while holding onto Saras. “You were supposed to keep your eyes open for cheating and stuff.” He laughed at the look Barry gave him. “Oh by the way, Barry this is Saras. Saras, this here is Barry, and the skinny guy over there,” pointing to his staff, “is Yorik.”

It suddenly dawned on him that although he knew Saras’ name, he couldn’t remember if Saras knew his name. “Oh yeah, by the way, I’m Corum.”
