I'll tell you a tale of the bottomless blue

Who: [personal profile] 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'!

He might be a little jealous, but I'll figure out a way to make it up to him.

[ She somehow doubts he'll mind the fact that his girlfriend got kissed by a mermaid. ]

... You're having fun, though, huh?

Your-- whoa!

[ Yang's instantly leaning down again, wide-eyed. ] How'd that happen? Just all of a sudden? It looks so cool!

He...

... Didn't look much like a mermaid.

[ More like a goat. ]
flaredo: (That's my lil sis)

[ ... HELL YEAH her dreams of a beach excursion are not dead! Although understandably dampened, because god knows, she's had enough of water for now. ]

That's so cool! [ And yes, she's genuinely happy for Oona. And also intrigued, because talk of people outside of the colony? Yes please. ] I'd want to come along, too.

I'm sure they will. I mean, we'll have to figure out a way to get there first, but once we do, I'm totally up for a journey!

[ And she'd feel better about not letting Oona go it alone, too. ]
flaredo: (Yeeees)

[personal profile] flaredo 2015-09-16 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
I'd like that! I've never really met any of them personally, aside from Cynbel. [ SHE MISSES YOU, LITTLE BUDDY. ] And what's a journey without a little risk, right? If it's dangerous, we'll be ready to deal with it!

Don't make deals and if anything happens, punch it. [ Solemn. ] Seems doable.
