"That's so cool! I love the idea, hearing the ocean all day." /don't blow it dude, one thing said wrong and.../ "I like classical music too, I normally sing that when I'm going to sleep while it rains." Kelly waited for Starfish to finish, then tried to think of something else they could do. "Want to play a board game while we wait?" Kelly pulled the board games out for her to choose. /I hope these don't seem childish./ He looked sheepishly at guess who, life, and the giant fish puzzle.

[im glad you like it!!]

"OhmyGodit'safish--" Starfish paused. "I mean, yes, I would love to play a board game with you!" she said, blushing. "That puzzle is amazing!" She slid the finished dishes into the cupboard and turned to Kelly. "Would you like to play in the living room?" she asked, holding her tail awkwardly in her paws.
[I luff it *U*]

"Haha great! The puzzle is my favorite too!" Kelly bounced into the living room, putting the other games back in his poch as he went. "It's five feet long and 2 feet tall, and it's an entire reef scene! I always love doing it, because everything in the puzzle is life-sized."

Starfish grinned and took the lid off of the huge box, tipping the relatively large puzzle pieces onto the ground.

"We should probably flip them all over first, huh?" she said, staring at the pile.
[ack short sorry cx]

{Kelly}
"Yep!" Kelly started flipping pieces left and right, setting any corner or edge pieces he found to the side. "Do you wan to set up the edge first?" He asked after they had finished flipping everything strait. He wasn't sure how Starfish did puzzles, but this was his method.

"I think so," said Starfish unsurely, flipping over the last piece that was showing its cardboard underside. She had never really done many puzzles, having spent her childhood outside by the beach and most of her teenage years as a loner inside the house. The large size of the pieces reassured her, but she was still anxious about losing them. She herded a few stray pieces closer to the center pile like a collie would shepherd a flock.

Kelly smiled, seeing the unsure look in Starfish's eye. "Alright, here are the two corners that go down there." Kelly explained, pointing to the ground a few feet away. Kelly grabbed the other two, placing them where they probably went on the floor by his side.

Starfish carefully arranged the other two corner pieces and then looked up.

"What now?" she asked eagerly, poking at one of the corner pieces in a perfectionist manner. "Do we find the edge pieces?" She looked over the jumble of ocean-colored chips and picked out one of the edge pieces.

[Im so sorry for being inactive, today was my first day of a 3-day fishing tournament owo]

{Kelly}
"Yep! I'll find ones for the left-side edge, you find the ones for the right." Kelly handed Starfish the box, showing her the picture on top. "Here, you can use this to help if you need it, I always do." Kelly smiled, eagerly beginning to gather up eyes pieces and attempting to match them up to his section of the puzzle.

[its fine cx Hope you have fun fishing!]

Starfish began working at the opposite end of the puzzle as Kelly was, not bothering to refer to the box for the first few pieces. The corner of the puzzle she was working on was dark blue--the bottom--and didn't have many distinguishing characteristics to it, making it more challenging. She gathered up a few dark blue edge pieces and tried each of them out on the corner piece. After a couple of tries, she had managed to get one piece clicked into place, feeling the odd satisfaction that comes with a match of a puzzle piece. Smiling, she began the search all over again, the pile of dark blue edge pieces growing steadily as she picked through the larger pile.
