<strong>July 26th - A week after the initial meeting</strong><br/><br/>"Surfing?"  The excited form of Natalia Peterson (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=111037.msg4837734#msg4837734) ran out from one of the other rooms, her incorporeal form looking slightly bruised up as if from a motorcycle accident.  "I love surfing!  Where's the competition?"  As always, she was dressed up in her tank top, jeans and boots, not exactly beach material, but that didn't do a thing to quench her hope, nor keep her from apparently having something in mind that she wanted to ask.  "Oh yeah, I think I remember hearing about that one on the news."  Her eagerness made her simply speak up on the matter.  "I don't suppose I could get one of you to let me compete, could you?"<br/><br/>Orderlies walked along nearby, but many remained slow, keeping to specific speeds and direction so that the ghosts could at least watch and get out of the way.  Foot traffic was minimal for this very reason, but there was always some degree of necessity.  Thankfully, most orderlies watched the eyes of those with which the ghosts were speaking, allowing them a little easier time in guessing where the post-life entities were currently at.<br/><br/>One of the passers-by, a shirtless smiling man named Daniel Woodson (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=111037.msg4934915#msg4934915), slipped on by towards the Nursery.  As he moved, he passed by the talking group, giving Si-donie a warm smile and a light tilt of his head to invite her to walk and talk.  One had to wonder whether, if he wasn't in his body, he wouldn't make some attempt to glow as he moved on by.<br/><br/>Once Natalia had realized she'd already made the suggestion, she decided to just explain the whole thing.  "Basically, I could control the board," she said.  "So if someone could just stand on it and pretend, making it look like they were controlling it, I could surf for you and you'd just have to stand and take the credit.  If I can win, we'll share the trophy."<br/><br/>
