It was now, officially, Mantine from Hell™ hours now.

Sometimes the screaming was early in the morning.

Oftentimes it pierced through the air closer to sunset.

Today, though?

Well, he couldn’t help but grit his teeth as the Mantine swam out as fast as it could manage before…

Magikarp Splash, let’s go!

Oh, god, his lungs were starting to hurt. If he didn't hit this trick soon he was going to pass out, or something.

[attr="class","aurelie_body"]It was a little odd that, after so many trials and travails at Mantine surfing, Aurelie had no particular misgivings toward Mantines as a whole, but she was starting to develop a certain antipathy towards Magikarp. It probably helped the Mantines that they had patiently and willingly carried her across the waves through both successes and failures, while the Magikarp Splash was just a source of frustration, at once alluring attainable yet forever out of reach. Besides, the Mantines were cute. She could only hope the Mantine she was surfing on today would carry her to victory, rather than yet another wipeout.

He was definitely going to need lots of painkillers after this, and at least a bottle of brandy.

not that he's actually failing though. he's just doing it on purpose!

"I will get this trick down, even if it's the end of me.", muttered Thomas as he rode the wave on the back of the Mantine. It was another attempt at the Magikarp Splash. Strange as it was for someone like him, the Kalosian wouldn't let this go.

That last failure definably hurt, but if nothing else he considered himself a semi quick recoveree. Thankful to the Mantine for at least understanding in needing to wait for him before trying again

Locke breathed out a long sigh as Manta-Manta slowed down. Even the Mantine seemed to be getting a little disheartened by the fail streak.

"If this kills me, tell the kids that-BLRRRGHTERKGNTGTRKRT!"

Josh had been cut off in trying to communicate with in the middle of yet another failed Magikarp Splash. But luckily the Mantine would surface back up again, seeming to now be used to the pattern at this point. This fact also depressed him.

Well, nothing to it but to try again. He wasn't even trying to win the competition anymore. Now, this was for his pride.

Okay, lesson learned: There was such a thing as being too much like a Magikarp, even if you were trying to do the Magikarp Splash. So maybe she had to think of it as only being part of a Magikarp. Maybe a Magikarp mermaid?

[break]That actually almost worked! Her form still wasn't quite right, but she was at least able to do all the steps the trick required! Now she just needed to hone it!

it's time to surf! one magikarp splash wasn't enough, and two probably was, but a third would be nice.

he stands on top of the mantine again-- something that was made easier with each subsequent try. what doesn't get easier was the trick itself, however.
