I'll tell you a tale of the bottomless blue
Who: mermaiding & you!
When: 2/24ish?, ICly
Where: Wherever there's still deep flooding
What: Oona struck a deal with Maris and got her scale back, meaning she can turn back into her mermaid form. She's finally taking it out for a spin.
Rating/Warning: Vaguely NSFW, because mermaids do not wear clothes.
[She hadn't expected it to go easily. The process of removing her tail had been painful and clumsy to begin with-- she had never used that magic before, and she had never had to replace said tail either. She knew, in theory, hwo to, but it had taken her a few times to finally get the magic right.
The process had been just as painful-- was it always going to be painful, or was she just inexperienced, doing something wrong? Every movement ached as her muscles got used to the familiar movements of swimming again.. or maybe it had something to do with this crash of energy? Who knew.
She did feel tired, but that wasn't important right now. She decided against going her full form (there was no need for someone to actually mistake her for a monster and try to kill her right off the bat), but the more familiar half-form that most people associated with mermaids was fine enough.
It felt like flying, twisting through the waters, her gills burning with unfamiliar use. It had taken more time than she'd like to admit to get used to using them and she'd spent far too long accidentally trying to use her lungs and choking herself. But now that she was getting used to it, she wasn't sure she'd ever actually leave...]
[Option A]
[She'd never get truly tired of swimming around, but the space isn't that large, so it isn't long before she gets bored--and that's when she takes to terrorizing poor passer-bys. She waits until someone's standing near the edge of the water and slowly surfaces, watching to make sure their attention isn't on the water itself and...
GRABS THEIR ANKLE.
And immediately bursts out laughing at their reaction. Maybe it's you she grabbed? Maybe a random NPC whose panicked screams make you feel like jumping in to help out or investigate? Either way, Oona's clearly having a grand ol' time.]
[Option B
[There's definitely something moving in the water. You might see a flash of golden hair, or light reflecting off blue scales. Maybe you see a light, glowing faintly deep below...
Either way, it entices you to look closer. If you kneel on the ledge and lean over the water to try and get a closer look, you're in for quite the surprise. Oona's stirred up the debris and dirt below to mask her ascent to the surface; male or female or anything inbetween, it doesn't matter; lean in close enough and you'll suddenly find a pretty mermaid breaking the surface to press a kiss to your mouth.
It's a quick one and she swims away a bit right after with a bright laugh and a grin]
[Option C]
[Okay, so maybe the drain on her energy was more than she was anticipating. She pulls herself up out of the water, only barely managing to get herself on land before she curls up on her side and promptly goes to sleep. Her tail dips into the water, occasionally swaying absently and causing ripples in the water.
She may even start snoring softly, but either way it's probably not a good idea for her to just remain there hanging out, right?]
[Option D]
[WILD CARD. Got another prompt you wanna try out? Maybe Oona manipulated the water to splash a nice wave at your character? Maybe you dropped something in the water for Oona to discover?
Go crazy it's all yours'!]

no subject
[He can trust her with that much--the mug thing proved as much.]
I assume you are able to change back from that form as well?
no subject
Yes. It is... not pleasant. My mother could make it seem so pretty. [Oona smiles, albeit bitterly] She did not teach me how to do that. Said I would learn it better when I met my cousins, but that knowing basics before would be impressive. Make them like me.
So, it is painful. But I will endure. [of course she would, like anyone would expect any less from her??] But, will have to go back soon. Tail is drying out, and besides the water will not stay forever. Will have to go back to walking everywhere.
Are we sure we can not flood city again? For good? [Oona's only joking... mostly.]
no subject
[As ever, he answers totally seriously, whoops....]
I am not certain how much of what CERES has told us is true, naturally, but if we are truly incapable of living outside of this colony on this planet, we need it to be habitable.
For everyone. [not just mermaids.]
no subject
Well. It should be habitable enough to fit all of them too. So she nods in understanding and sighs a little, ready to change the subject to less serious things] You are no fun, Sousei. Take things too seriously! Do you know what 'joke' is? Do you know how to tell one?
no subject
[that was A Joke.
An incredibly dry, deadpan one.
But a joke nonetheless.]
no subject
...Ah, it is worse that I can not tell if you are serious now or not.
[ANYWAY.] If you will not kiss me, will you give me hug? [Back to the barter she was trying to do earlier!! If he says 'no' she's got another request up her sleeve so she doesn't really expect him to agree anyhow]
no subject
No.
[Ah......]
I'm not interested in that.
no subject
Then, at least, will you pat my head? [She gives him a pleading look. THATS DOABLE, RIGHT??]
no subject
This doesn't mean anything.
[It's a warning, but...a moment later he does reach out to rest his hand on the top of her head, the worst head pat in the history of head pats--but the intent is there, and at the very least, he lingers there for a moment before he removes his hand.
Cough.]
no subject
[BEAMS AT HIM]
no subject
[Well...that's as far as you get, Oona, sorry. It's still progress though!!!]
You have accomplished a personal mission, but that is all. It is not enough for that manner of praise.
