Morgan

The nicest finfolk!

[how-do-legs-work]

Ooc: Hi, if you're here, it might be because I sent you an ask through this account about a 6 year old asking if you want to be her husband. FEAR NOT! This is a finfolk, and she does not understand human culture, and has also had 32 rotations around the sun (finfolks age weird). This is my way of asking to roleplay with you! If you do not like this, I HAVE OTHER ACCOUNTS! Just let me know!

picrew

Name?

Morgan!

Age?

um- well, I'm 6 in human years.

Species?

I'm a finfolk! I'm gonna be a finwife someday! I gotta find a husband.

How'd you get that scar on your face?

Oh, I... I was being disobedient. I went outside the borders and- and a shark got me a little.

Why are you in a wheelchair?

Oh, well, I'm more used to the tail- I'm not so used to the legs. So this just helps me get around until I can figure out the legs.

Ooc

Okay so imagine I'm saying this like how Bennie from the Lego Movies says Spaceship

MERMAIDS!!!

Me making this account fr fr:

[ohyeah-itssamwilson]

A young girl, who looks to be about 6 years old, rolls up to him in a wheelchair.

"Hi! Do you want to be my husband?"

- @how-do-legs-work

sorry, kid, don’t think that’s really allowed. Laws and such.

[how-do-legs-work]

"Oh. Well my culture has different laws, I guess. Do you want to be my friend instead?"

[ohyeah-itssamwilson]

I don’t see why not

[how-do-legs-work]

"Do you already have a wife, new friend?"

[ohyeah-itssamwilson]

A young girl, who looks to be about 6 years old, rolls up to him in a wheelchair.

"Hi! Do you want to be my husband?"

- @how-do-legs-work

sorry, kid, don’t think that’s really allowed. Laws and such.

[how-do-legs-work]

"Oh. Well my culture has different laws, I guess. Do you want to be my friend instead?"

[thebestmerc-1]

A young girl, maybe about six years old, rolls up to Cat in her wheelchair.

"Hi! Will you be my husband?"

- @how-do-legs-work

Cat was either witnessed, been through or had heard a lot of really weird shit. But this kid might just have made number one on her long list of weird shit.

"Uhhh… no. I don't do things that involve romantic feelings or anything similar."

[how-do-legs-work]

"Oh, that's okay." If Morgan were a human, she probably wouldn't want a wife either. Family and friends were important to humans, and humans always had to go with finfolk when they got married. And most finfolk made them do lots of work. Morgan didn't want to do lots of work. "Do you want to be my friend instead?"

[thebestmerc-1]

"I guess. But where are your parents? I'm sure they are looking for you."

[how-do-legs-work]

"Oh, don't worry. My mama knows I'm looking for a husband. She says humans make the best husbands."

Morgan smiles. "But I get it that you don't want a wife. That's okay. It's not for everyone."

[thebestmerc-1]

"Your mother is encouraging this? That is concerning. You are still a kid. You don't need to worry about having a husband for a long time."

'Maybe growing up without mother in my life was better for me…' Cat thinks to herself.

"And what do you means by humans make the best husbands?"

[how-do-legs-work]

"Finfolk probably just have a different culture than you." She says. "Humans care a lot about family and friends. Humans have holidays. Humans have yearly rotation celebrations."

"Mama says that humans make the best husbands. You don't wanna get a finfolk husband. He'll work you to death and make you ugly. Human husbands like to work and provide."

[thebestmerc-1]

"Finfolk? You're not human? That actually explains a lot…"

[how-do-legs-work]

"Oh! Yeah, no. I know some humans don't believe in finfolk, so I guess they probably don't even spread the story. But, uh, yeah." She gestures to the fins on the side of her head. "Finfolk. But you're human, right?"

[thebestmerc-1]

"Yeah, I'm a human who also happens to be the current vessel of the Entity Death."

[how-do-legs-work]

"Oh. That sounds like it sucks. To be a vessel-" They hesitate. They knew that a lot of humans didn't say specifically what they meant, and that was sort of annoying. "Wait, is that a threat?"

[thebestmerc-1]

"No it is not a threat. Plus I've managed to cut most ties with Death. It was not easy."

[how-do-legs-work]

"Oh, okay. I thought I should be scared for a moment. Well... congratulations?"

[thebestmerc-1]

"Eh… it's not something to congratulate. By cutting off ties is basically just ghosting them. Because I can't get rid of the mark of Death."

Cat rolls up the sleeve on her left arm. She shows them the crow skull tattoo on the underside of her left wrist.

[how-do-legs-work]

"Oh, okay." Morgan reached out, wanting to touch the tattoo. "Oh, it's so pretty! Or- wait." She obviously didn't like it. She shouldn't have said that. "Nevermind."

A what looks like to be a teenage girl in regal looking leather sci-fi armor is seen meditating on a big rock, if she has noticed the other person nearby she's choosing not to acknowledge them at the moment

@drifting-through-duviri (Operator)

Morgan rolled up to them in her wheelchair.

"Hi! Will you be my husband?"

[drifting-through-duviri]

Lua's reflection who does this girl think she is? She turns around and looks down on them

Try again. This time with the differently gendered word.

Even the Orokin respected one's change in gender... And how did that girl even see through her?

[how-do-legs-work]

Morgan tilted their head, not exactly sure what she was asking.

"Um. You don't have to be my husband if you don't want to."

[drifting-through-duviri]

Is she not... Aware?

Girlie what gender do you think I am?

She says as she gracefully jumps down and then takes on a regal stance as she stands up

[how-do-legs-work]

Morgan looked over this person. She seemed to be somewhat feminine. That usually meant that people were girls. If they were masculine, it meant that people were boys. At least, that's what Morgan has gathered.

"A girl?"

[drifting-through-duviri]

Correct. And you know that typically only men are husbands? So first of: I'd be a wife. Secondly: You look way too young to marry. I think at least... I don't get to interact with many young or married people... I don't think marriage is even a thing anymore... Were Margulis and Ballas..?

And she's begun just talking to herself eventually catching herself again

Right-! How old are you even?

[how-do-legs-work]

"Oh. Well, I didn't think it'd really matter if my husband was a boy or a girl." She scratches her head. A lot of people have been telling her she looks too young. "I'm 6 in human years."

[drifting-through-duviri]

And I'm... I know I was 16 at some point... A long time ago... But what do you mean in human years? What are you then?

Who is this girl? She does look like a young child, just a few years younger than her when the jump happened

[how-do-legs-work]

"I've been around the sun 32 times. But I'm 6 in human years. Because of- finfolk age different than humans."

[drifting-through-duviri]

Finfolk? Are you another genetically modified offshoot of humans?

She seems to right now only be interested in learning more about what and who this girl is than whatever she was talking about before that

What's your name?

[how-do-legs-work]

"I'm a finfolk. We are, well, shapeshifters. We have tails like mermaids underwater, and we shapeshift to be... well... fin-having folk when we're above water." She gestures to her fins on the side of her head. "Some humans don't even believe we exist, so... I don't know how much of an 'offshoot' you'd consider that. My name's Morgan."

[drifting-through-duviri]

The records would've said if humanity had contact with an alien species back then... So you are just a different species? That's really interesting!

Upon figuring out that she is just straight from a different species she lit up, sure, maybe she isn't an alien due to coming from earth, but still! A different species!

So what's your culture like?

[how-do-legs-work]

"That's... a loaded question. Um... I could tell you how I've noticed it's different from human culture, if you want?"

[drifting-through-duviri]

I mean I am also not very versed on old human culture... So yeah! Tell me!

She doesn't even seem to notice how at this point her whole regal stance has broken, she now just looks excited to hear about this

[how-do-legs-work]

"Well- the finfolk have two places. Finfolkhaem and Hildaland. Finfolkhaem is... well, it's how I imagine human "capitals" are. It's the biggest, most beautiful place, filled with the love and spirits of our ancestors. This is where any finfolk is born. That's where I was born, and where I've been raised. I tried to get past the colorful seaweed a few times, and I surely paid for it." She gestured to the scar on her face. "Hildaland is a paradise land. It's hidden to everyone except those who make it there. One day, I'm gonna get a husband, and I'm gonna go there, and that's where I will live out the rest of my days." She smiled.

"I've noticed a few things, how humans are different than us. Humans... they love their family and friends. Us finfolk don't really care about that type of thing. Most humans who go to hildaland are never seen again by their family and friends. That's why I say I'll let my husband return to their family and friends for... well... I think it's called something different in human language, but the fall equinox and the winter solstice? It seems that humans celebrate those things too."

[drifting-through-duviri]

Why do you need a husband that badly? And don't you think that living in just one place is limiting?

The Operator looked at her concerned, that society sounds incredibly secluded, those never go well...

I mean, there is a whole solar system ready for exploration! Or in your case, the whole planet! How long do you Finfolk live anyway?

[how-do-legs-work]

"Well, I want a husband. You know? Someone to share all my secrets with and to hug and to love and to trust. Some finfolk work their husbands to death. I'll try to not do that. But I do want him to cook. I am no good at cooking."

She rocks her wheelchair back.

"Well, yeah. But waters get too cold and too hot and the world is dangerous. Living in paradise sounds amazing, though. We live for a long time. Like, 550-rotations-ish is when most old age deaths happen for finfolks."

[drifting-through-duviri]

At her saying the world is dangerous the Operator just looked away, she knows it's true, she's been killing and maiming countless foes and she's also at war with a eldritch god... Life hasn't given her any pause... Meanwhile the Drifter gets to go on dates, meet with friends... They even have two girlfriends...

Yeah... Guess it's dangerous... A tip for life... Don't make shady deals with creatures that look like you...

And now she's neither regal nor happy... Just... Down...

[how-do-legs-work]

"That's a good tip. I'll remember not to do that." Morgan nods. "It looks like you learned that tip the hard way?"

[thebestmerc-1]

She gestures to her fins on the side of her head. "Some humans don't even believe we exist, so... I don't know how much of an 'offshoot' you'd consider that. My name's Morgan."

[drifting-through-duviri]

The records would've said if humanity had contact with an alien species back then... So you are just a different species? That's really interesting!

Upon figuring out that she is just straight from a different species she lit up, sure, maybe she isn't an alien due to coming from earth, but still! A different species!

So what's your culture like?

[how-do-legs-work]

"That's... a loaded question. Um... I could tell you how I've noticed it's different from human culture, if you want?"

A young girl, maybe about six years old, rolls up to Cat in her wheelchair.

"Hi! Will you be my husband?"

- @how-do-legs-work

Cat was either witnessed, been through or had heard a lot of really weird shit. But this kid might just have made number one on her long list of weird shit.

"Uhhh… no. I don't do things that involve romantic feelings or anything similar."

[how-do-legs-work]

"Oh, that's okay." If Morgan were a human, she probably wouldn't want a wife either. Family and friends were important to humans, and humans always had to go with finfolk when they got married. And most finfolk made them do lots of work. Morgan didn't want to do lots of work. "Do you want to be my friend instead?"

[thebestmerc-1]

"I guess. But where are your parents? I'm sure they are looking for you."

[how-do-legs-work]

"Oh, don't worry. My mama knows I'm looking for a husband. She says humans make the best husbands."

Morgan smiles. "But I get it that you don't want a wife. That's okay. It's not for everyone."

[thebestmerc-1]

"Your mother is encouraging this? That is concerning. You are still a kid. You don't need to worry about having a husband for a long time."

'Maybe growing up without mother in my life was better for me…' Cat thinks to herself.

"And what do you means by humans make the best husbands?"

[how-do-legs-work]

"Finfolk probably just have a different culture than you." She says. "Humans care a lot about family and friends. Humans have holidays. Humans have yearly rotation celebrations."

"Mama says that humans make the best husbands. You don't wanna get a finfolk husband. He'll work you to death and make you ugly. Human husbands like to work and provide."

[thebestmerc-1]

"Finfolk? You're not human? That actually explains a lot…"

[how-do-legs-work]

"Oh! Yeah, no. I know some humans don't believe in finfolk, so I guess they probably don't even spread the story. But, uh, yeah." She gestures to the fins on the side of her head. "Finfolk. But you're human, right?"

Morgan rolled up to them in her wheelchair.

"Hi! Will you be my husband?"

[drifting-through-duviri]

Lua's reflection who does this girl think she is? She turns around and looks down on them

Try again. This time with the differently gendered word.

Even the Orokin respected one's change in gender... And how did that girl even see through her?

[how-do-legs-work]

Morgan tilted their head, not exactly sure what she was asking.

"Um. You don't have to be my husband if you don't want to."

[drifting-through-duviri]

Is she not... Aware?

Girlie what gender do you think I am?

She says as she gracefully jumps down and then takes on a regal stance as she stands up

[how-do-legs-work]

Morgan looked over this person. She seemed to be somewhat feminine. That usually meant that people were girls. If they were masculine, it meant that people were boys. At least, that's what Morgan has gathered.

"A girl?"

[drifting-through-duviri]

Correct. And you know that typically only men are husbands? So first of: I'd be a wife. Secondly: You look way too young to marry. I think at least... I don't get to interact with many young or married people... I don't think marriage is even a thing anymore... Were Margulis and Ballas..?

And she's begun just talking to herself eventually catching herself again

Right-! How old are you even?

[how-do-legs-work]

"Oh. Well, I didn't think it'd really matter if my husband was a boy or a girl." She scratches her head. A lot of people have been telling her she looks too young. "I'm 6 in human years."

[drifting-through-duviri]

And I'm... I know I was 16 at some point... A long time ago... But what do you mean in human years? What are you then?

Who is this girl? She does look like a young child, just a few years younger than her when the jump happened

[how-do-legs-work]

"I've been around the sun 32 times. But I'm 6 in human years. Because of- finfolk age different than humans."

[drifting-through-duviri]

Finfolk? Are you another genetically modified offshoot of humans?

She seems to right now only be interested in learning more about what and who this girl is than whatever she was talking about before that

What's your name?

[how-do-legs-work]

"I'm a finfolk. We are, well, shapeshifters. We have tails like mermaids underwater, and we shapeshift to be... well... fin-having folk when we're above water." She gestures to her fins on the side of her head. "Some humans don't even believe we exist, so... I don't know how much of an 'offshoot' you'd consider that. My name's Morgan."
