Brylee arrived at work in no time and was all ready for action. She had a silver watch strapped around her wrist and her hair was tied clear out of her face. She was right on time for work, not a minute late {accoring to her watch}. Brylee skipped through the long narrow halls, with passing some friends every so often and pushed through a couple doorways before she arrivved at her final destination. Brylee was one of two caretakers for the sharks and today it appeared to be blood testing day. Her eyes scanned the area, looking for Mathias her present partner. She had met him a few times here and there, but other then his name, she knew nothing of the tall muscular man. Brylee walked around to where the bigger tanks were, the flip-flopping of her jandals being the only warning that she was coming. She could hear the echo of splashing water in the distance, which sounded like the sharks and some little footsteps around the corner. It looked like Mathias had already bet Brylee here and got one test done and dusted. Since he had gotten one shark out of the way, that meant there was one more left to go, and Brylee could almost guarantee that Thelma was the one left. Thelma, a big yet beautiful, stubborn shark was left for testing and it wasn't any suprise. The more gentle shark of the two was Louise and Mathias picked her wisely. "Awesome." Brylee muttered under her breath, snatching a syringe from the marble counter where Mathias was slumped, before approaching the shark in the water. "Hey," She called out to Mathias behind her as she walked up and dipped her foot in the mild salt water. "Your early," she added, trying to sound friendly and atleast trying to get a conversation going. Brylee twisted the needle in her fingers, getting it steady and set in her hands. She had to be slow because Thelma was bound to move if she sensed something unusual. Brylee ran her right hand down Thelma's spine and applied some alcohol to one specific spot where it needed to be. Brylee had a quick look to how Thelma was dealing with things, and before she could do anything unexpected, Brylee injected the needle very discreetly, drawing back blood.

Victoria opened her eyes, listening to Kasen speak. She squinted now, he sun growing more radiant as it devoured the sky. She nodded, then watched him work with Winter for a moment. Her mind wandered back to her brother, whom was still sleeping. As her gaze shifted to the poorly-painted bench, a mischievous grin spread across her lips. Victoria climbed the steps out of the pool, her bare feet making faint tapping sounds along the cement. Ricky and Lucy excitedly shuffled to the glass door as they saw the trainer approach; the duo happily perched on each of her arms. The birds were quite obedient, as they never tried to escape. They loved Sawyer, so it was only appropriate that they should be the ones to wake him up. Victoria let the pelicans off her arm, watching as they pecked at him. She quickly slipped back into the main pool, sitting down on the platform like nothing had happened. Lucy squawked loudly, pushing at Sawyer's arm with her wide beak. He opened his eyes, dazed and confused. One more squawk, and the 13-year-old had rolled off the bench. "Your wetsuit's in my office, sleeping beauty." A soft smirk tugged at the edges of her mouth as she stuck her perfectly-pedicured feet down into the cool water. Sawyer groaned sleepily, shuffling away to the office. Victoria chuckled almost maniacally, but in a joking way.

Charlie shrugged, shifting his gaze from Nicholas to Emily. "We could practice, or maybe take the shift in the Sea Caverns?" he suggested. The Sea Cavern shift was a simple shift, but still socially exhausting. Your job was to greet everyone who entered, spew Winter the dolphin facts endlessly, and let people hold her prosthetic. Pretty basic stuff, and some workers even enjoyed turning it into a competition to pass the time.

Once Eliza was all suited and zipped up in her wetsuit, she darted for her section in the aquarium where she trained and worked with the dolphin Hope. Hope was the youngest bottlenose dolphin in CMA, and Eliza felt very lucky to be one of the caretakers for her. The freckle faced teen seemed to have arrived to work a couple minutes late, but that was no worry considering Billy {Eliza's partner} wasn't there yet. Eliza walked across the crooked stone tiles, her feet splashing in the small puddles on the way. Hope was paddling around playfully in the salty sea water in the pool, while Eliza snatched up a syringe from the side counter. She had a small bottle of alcohol in one hand, and the syringe in the other. Today was blood testing day for the animals in CMA, and it seemed as though Eliza was doing this on her own. She sat on the edge of the pool, her legs dangling in the water waiting for Hope to draw closer to Eliza. Her deep blue eyes looked over the long thin needle in her hand and it made her feel a bit queezy. She wasn't one to like needles, injections were always horrible for her, especially when it came to traveling over seas.

I had been distracted by the loud squawking. I looked over in it's direction and laughed. What a wonderful way to wake up... If I were not being so sarcastic. Though that would be a great alarm system to have in my place... I looked down, gasping as I seen Winter trying to make a grab at for the bucket. As soon as she came close to it a picked it up and placed it some where she couldn't get it. "Winter. Look at you, trying to pull a fast one on me. How many times have I told you to not touch the bucket of fish. I am not have a repeat of what happened last time." I said, crossing my arms over my chest and listening as she started to make a bunch of noises. I smiled softly and bent down to pet her. "Alright I forgive you. But next time... I won't be as forgiving." I said, standing up straight. "Now. No more play time. Time to get down to business." I mumbled to myself.

Victoria watched Kasen work with Winter, then took a moment to glance at her watch. 9:59 am. Victoria's ocean-colored eyes widened as a gasp escaped her lips. She had to be at the front for opening in less than a minute. "Sorry, gotta go." She said briefly, swiftly climbing the steps and striding across the deck. 30 seconds later she was in the gift shop, unlocking the doors. A noisy crowd of tourists and their excited children waited outside, proof-of-ticket-purchase bracelets donned. Personally, Victoria despised tourists. It was nice to watch the kids, but their ignorant parents annoyed her. However, they brought the money that kept CMA running. As she opened the doors, she was just about trampled by bustling people. They immediately split off in all different directions, snapping photos. She took the path that went through the sea caverns, just to make sure everyone was doing what they were supposed to. Everything looked to be in order. Victoria pushed past the crowd of people who were crowded around the small window that looked into Winter's pool. A grin spread across her lips as she watched Winter executing her disciplines perfectly under the guidance of Kasen; he really was good with her. The sun's welcoming rays bathed Victoria in warmth as she reached the busy dolphin terrace, re-entering the pool. "Sorry about that," Vic grinned perching herself on the wading platform once again.

I let out a sigh of relief when she came back. My hour had just ended and I had to do some other things. "Great, you're back. I was signed up to do at least one your this morning.. Ugh. Obviously not my decision. But I need to be at the front in less then five minutes. Winter has been doing great so far... But watch out for that bucket. She tried to knock it over... Again." I rolled my eyes as I grabbed a towel and threw it around my neck. I then ran over to my locker and took out my clothes. Four minutes... Great. I just threw my clothes over my wet suit, thankful that they hide it pretty well. Two more minutes... I slipped in my shoes and tried to walk as fast as I could. I made it just in time to. Phew, that was close. "Hi, and welcome to the CMA. I will be your tour guide for this morning. My name is Kasen and I am one if Winter's trainers. You may address me if you have any questions or concerns." I said, this was going to be a long morning.

Victoria nodded, not getting a chance to reply before he had walked off. She stroked winter, then reached for the water gun. She filled it, then shot it into Winter's mouth. She squealed with delight, flopping about. Victoria repeated this several times, though Winter never seemed to lose interest. Keeping the dolphins engaged was everything. Besides, she always liked to give the cetacean some time to kick back before the show. Setting the water gun down, Victoria picked up the bottle of non-toxic soap and bubble wand. She blew dozens of little bubbles, which settled on the surface of the water. Winter made clicking noises, popping the bubbles with her beak. After about an hour had passed, it was almost time for the dolphin show. Since Kasen was busy taking the sea cavern shift, Victoria decided that she would narrate the show herself. She picked up the headset, then climbed up onto the ledge in between the main pool (which Winter was currently in) and Winter's pool. "Hi everyone! I'm Victoria, one of winter's trainers, and welcome to CMA! How many of you have heard of Winter before?" almost everyone in the crowd raised their hands. "Good! Now, before the show, I must go over something for the health and safety of our animals. Please, do not hold anything over the railings or drop anything in the water. Okay, now that that's over with, I'm just going to fill you in on some Winter FAQ. Winter came to us when she was a 2-month-old calf, and she was found on the Atlantic coast by a fisherman and his son. So yes, it's a little different from the movie Dolphin Tale. Winter was entangled in a crab trap, the line wrapping around her flukes and through her mouth. The rescue team from Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute were called to the scene, and later on Winter was transferred to CMA. She had severe damage to her flukes, and eventually they just fell off. No, they weren't amputated; also something different from the movie. After she lost her tail, Winter developed a side-to-side motion to swim instead of the normal up-and-down. That's why her prosthetic was created, so she could work the muscles in and around her peduncle area just past her dorsal fin. In a minute, you'll get to see her prosthetic in action. Winter does not wear her tail 24/7, but for about three hours a day for physical therapy. Now, I'm going to let you enjoy the rest of this show!" Victoria grinned, stepping down from the ledge. She sort of wrapped everything up in a nutshell, as she didn't feel like going into too much detail right now. Vic sat down on the platform once again and whistled for Winter. The excited bottlenose sped over; she knew the routine by heart. She massaged Winter's peduncle area, getting it all good and stretched out. When she was done, she reached for Winter's gel and cleaned it out with a disinfectant. She slipped the gel on, followed by the cup, then the brace, then the sock. After about ten minutes, Winter was out swimming with her tail. Vic climbed up onto the ledge once again. "Does anyone have any questions about dolphins, Winter, or CMA?"
