Open!
Who: mermaiding & you!
When: Like ICly 10/29ish. After the event
Where: Various
What: After becoming visible again, Oona 'celebrates' by touching everyone to reconfirm that she's solid
Rating/Warning: Random touching?
[Being invisible had been one thing-- she could deal with that. Sure it made everything a little difficult, but it could have helped her in the long run; you know, if she could have touched people.
She hadn't thought about how much she'd miss it until it was gone. It was...lonely. Cold. She'd felt more bitter and angry than she had in months, trying desperately to get the attention of others to no avail. It hadn't taken long for the anger to change to despair, and it had taken all she had not to cry when she found herself 'cured'.
It was a cautious optimism, but it had quickly grown to an almost mania as she ran around the streets, mostly looking or familiar faces, but strangers weren't immune either as she suddenly grabbed onto people with open delight]
Ah! Touch! Can touch you! You can feel, yes? Touching you! [She grabs at arms and hands, pressing at the skin and squeezing hands (lightly, she's mindful of her inhuman strength thankyouverymuch), even going so far as rubbing her cheek against shoulders if the person isn't too tall or doesn't throw her off right away.]
[Closed for Tenka]
[There is one specific person she's looking for though, and she's quick to track him down to his house again. She debates a moment on how best to go about contacting him, and while she knows deep down that calling him first would be best... Yeah she's not doing that.
She raises her fists and knocks. Insistently. No pausing until he answers eeeyyy.]

no subject
He doesn't think so.
Sousei's lips quirk a bit at that as well--"straying", is it? Tenka, more than him, probably, but he hardly feels the need to correct her. Who knows. He might need someone to keep him from straying at some point.]
That sounds acceptable. [After all, he's a man who functions in "gains and losses" (what a joke that is, really, at this point).] Then we shall both do our part.
[He'll depend on Oona for that--except he doesn't like admitting he depends on people TOTALLY NOT DEPENDING ON OONA HERE NOPE.]
Are you all right now?
no subject
Is she alright? Another deep breath and a slow exhale.]
No. [She doesn't lie, after all.] But... is becoming so. Bits and pieces. One day, maybe I can answer 'yes'.
no subject
But that gets a nod. Logical. She wouldn't be okay right away, but...the best he can do on his own is make sure that she doesn't have to face so much torment again in the future. It's a big job, in a place like this. But he'll try. And if he tries, he knows he can do it. (After all, there's no place for uncertainty here, not when someone is depending on him.)]
Yes. Then that is day worth working towards.
[... not that he's particularly good with heartfelt moments, and he has no curtains to throw over Oona's head to hide that fact, so a moment later, he glances away.]
If you require Tenka, I believe he is home. [he's better at emotions go deal with him]
