Thanks @cinnamonrollalice for the ask!

[curiositykilledthemermaid]

I…I don’t even know what an ‘emo’ is… [sighs] I just need a moment to hate my legs before I have to get up and move on. Sorry for getting in your way.

[atlantisawaitsus-blog]

What- [He’s so chocked right now, she doesnt know emo] Um, hate your legs? What’s wrong with them? They look… nice? Clean? How do I compliment your legs without being creepy-

[curiositykilledthemermaid]

They don’t work properly, that’s what. [she points to the leg braces that sit a small distance away] I have to wear those and...yeah. Whatever, it’s not important.

[curiositykilledthemermaid]

[squeaks] Sorry! [shakes her head] No…I need to lay here and feel like garbage for awhile longer, I think.

[atlantisawaitsus-blog]

Oh! Okay, wow emo kids sure are different nowadays. Before we’d just turn up some screamo and complain about… everything.

[curiositykilledthemermaid]

I...I don’t even know what an ‘emo’ is... [sighs] I just need a moment to hate my legs before I have to get up and move on. Sorry for getting in your way.

[curiositykilledthemermaid]

Oh. Hi again. [sighs and doesn’t even move a muscle] Just sore. And frustrated with my body.

[purrrfectlymad-blog]

And why is that? The frustration I mean. [ear twitch and tail swish before he’s looking around] [tbh laying in the middle of the floor is something he enjoys too so he’s just sitting down beside her]

[curiositykilledthemermaid]

My legs...they don’t work like a regular person’s. They hardly work at all, to be honest. That’s why I need the sticks, and these. [she points to the leg braces that lay discarded next to her] Without them, I’m like a fish out of water. [WOW that’s a great pun, she needs to write that down] I’ve started doing special training to help strengthen them, but nothing seems to be changing and it’s...frustrating.

[curiositykilledthemermaid]

[is sprawled across the floor] I don’t want to get up ever again.

[atlantisawaitsus-blog]

[and he almost trips on her foot] Oh what the shit- Oh my god, you need some help there?

[curiositykilledthemermaid]

[squeaks] Sorry! [shakes her head] No...I need to lay here and feel like garbage for awhile longer, I think.

[curiositykilledthemermaid]

[is sprawled across the floor] I don’t want to get up ever again.

[purrrfectlymad-blog]

[popping a jellybean in his mouth]

Well look at who it is. The one who flails and duel-wields little stick legs. [purrs looking down at her] You seem rather exasperated my dear. 

[curiositykilledthemermaid]

Oh. Hi again. [sighs and doesn’t even move a muscle] Just sore. And frustrated with my body.

[curiositykilledthemermaid]

[is sprawled across the floor] I don’t want to get up ever again.

[purrrfectlymad-blog]

Ah ha you are simply mad child. I like you. But if you hit me with a crutch I may have different opinions on you. [purrs floating and laying on his stomach with a grand smile]  Now if you may be so kind as to tell me what Queen lives here in the castle?

[curiositykilledthemermaid]

[she waves one of her hand crutches around] As long as you don’t treat me badly for needing these, I won’t.

Queen? [purses lips thoughtfully] I don’t think there is one, to be honest. I haven’t met one.

[curiositykilledthemermaid]

I hit a complete stranger with one of my crutches today. Am I gonna get arrested???

[purrrfectlymad-blog]

Mmmm yes. Yes you will. [his ear twitches and the bell rings from the earring]

[curiositykilledthemermaid]

...Worth it. 

[curiositykilledthemermaid]

I hit a complete stranger with one of my crutches today. Am I gonna get arrested???

[curiositykilledthemermaid]

[was not expecting this] [shit] Uh…an animal. It’s a big animal with four legs, and people used to use them to get to other places.

[finding-my-roots-blog]

Oh! I knew that. [no you didn’t]

[curiositykilledthemermaid]

[snickers] Oh course.

[curiositykilledthemermaid]

Huh. I’ve never met someone who’d never heard of cars. [smiles] They’re big machines, and they take people places. Like horses, but they aren’t alive.

[finding-my-roots-blog]

……..

What’s a horse?

[curiositykilledthemermaid]

[was not expecting this] [shit] Uh...an animal. It’s a big animal with four legs, and people used to use them to get to other places.

[curiositykilledthemermaid]

Something like a car or a motorcycle. Do you know what those are?

[finding-my-roots-blog]

Ummmmmmm…. 

No.

[curiositykilledthemermaid]

Huh. I’ve never met someone who’d never heard of cars. [smiles] They’re big machines, and they take people places. Like horses, but they aren’t alive.

[curiositykilledthemermaid]

[she points to the contraptions on her legs] See those? They’re called braces, and they help me walk normally. [she chuckles] It’s just a spot where you park something for awhile. 

[finding-my-roots-blog]

Ohhhh, okay. [blinks] Park? Park what?

[curiositykilledthemermaid]

Something like a car or a motorcycle. Do you know what those are?
