If you could kill a person and get away with it, would you do it?

[isadora-greene]

Of course. Wouldn't you?

[angelicskyler]

Finally, I’ve been waiting all day for a smoke.

[isadora-greene]

Well then, would you be willing to share?

[dontcryjustacid]

When is a monster not a monster? Oh, when you love it.

the lethal tide // lorelai & isadora

   After months of being stranded on dry land, Lorelai had finally snapped.

   It was lethal to tempt the sirens now more than ever, amidst the fallout of their former leader being murdered at the hands of the mermaids, Lorelai knew that she was in no position to try and appeal to their charity. She had ventured out into the shallow ocean pools that surrounded the condo she called home, but she minded never to actually turn and go out far enough where a siren might catch her. She tried to remain respectful of the harsh warning she received in her encounter with them earlier, yet the soreness in her legs and in her heart ached for the sea’s embrace. She convinced herself that she could get away with a quick swim, just something, anything to take the edge off. She’d do it late in the night, when others were asleep, and she wouldn’t go far enough where she’d ever lose sight of the shoreline. Worst case scenario she’d be spotted but she would swim back before the sirens could do anything about it—that’s all that it took.

    Her heart was beating fast as she dipped into the chilled water, the entire landscape tinted with a dark hue as the thin moon dimly lit the high tides. It was only a quick swim, she’d leave the moment anything felt even remotely out of place.

   She hesitantly cut into the water, her feet leaving the sandy bank as the ocean enveloped her. Submerging her head under the water, she dove in, her human legs shed and replaced with a dazzling tail—one she wished didn’t shimmer so lavishly in this particular instance. Lorelai swam slowly, travelling further and further away from the safety she was promised on land. If anything were to happen, she’d immediately swim back into its forgiving arms. 

[isadora-greene]

At first, Isadora didn't believe her eyes. It started off as a slight shimmer, something that could have easily been credited as a bounce of lights against the water, the moon's reflection dancing on the surface. It could have been anything, really, headlights from a car, even- but Isadora knew better. Unlike a siren's, a mermaid's tail was far easier to identify. Their scales seemed to gleam, even without sunshine, and they all had a similar structure, one far different from her own. Those kinds of tails were rarely seen around siren territory, unless there was war. And, oh, was this war. 

Like a predator stalking its prey, Isadora gave no hint that she saw the mermaid, instead choosing to silently slip under the water and watch, blue eyes unaffected by the salt of the sea. The intruder seemed at ease, albeit a bit tense, and appeared to have no idea someone was watching her. It was what she'd been waiting for.

It took Isadora no time at all to reach the girl, and within seconds she was facing her, lips twisted into a snarl. There was no time to say anything, no time for threats, and so she lunged at her. She grabbed a fistful of her hair and pulled her deeper into the water, ignoring the gasps of surprise coming from her mouth. It took her only a few seconds to grab her by the shoulders, her nails digging into her skin. "I'm going to end your life the same way you ended my mother's."

[sophiewhirl-deactivated20181001]

"You’ve got too many years ahead of you and too much luck to waste it in frivolous mind games with the locals. There’s life to be lived and you’re wasting it but it’s up to you after all." Jasmine said in response, the words leaving her mouth bitterly. 

[isadora-greene]

"And I ask again, who are you? Are you one of those half-breed mermaids, always preaching about how terrible and ferocious they are, when in reality they have absolutely no backbone?" She was snarling now, her fists clenched. Nothing had been able to stop her temper since the death of her mother, and she hadn't been making any efforts to control it either. "I am wasting none of my time."

[sophiewhirl-deactivated20181001]

"There are stronger beings than you here. There’s always someone higher up the food chain." Jasmine retorted, crossing her arms and casting her eyes towards the sea as she thought of all the many ways she could be ripped away from earth, not by her disease but by any living creature of the town. She was a half breed and still she wasn’t invulnerable and neither was the young siren, she’d come to learn it too with age. "Not a soul in this town is truly safe from harm so what’s the point in playing games?"

[isadora-greene]

Isadora followed the girl's eyes to the sea and smirked. "Are there? Well I wasn't aware, so we'll just have to see how that goes for me then, won't we?" It was a game, but Isadora played it well. Cockiness was a trait she forced upon herself, although she didn't feel confident at all. But oh, did she seem to simply ooze it. "You said it yourself, no soul in this town is truly safe. So what's the point in not playing games?" Once again she looked at the ocean, then back at the girl. "Looks like there's a storm coming, hmm?"

[sherffwolf]

Apparently, some people do. And by people I mean my brother.

[isadora-greene]

Kenny? He prank called you? What did he say? I'm assuming it was something lame. 

[sophiewhirl-deactivated20181001]

"I’m no one. At least no one to you but I still get to voice my opinion." Jasmine replied, levelling with the girl. "That’s not the point. How would you feel if a being stronger than you decided to toy with you just for the heck of it. Regardless of whether you hurt them, you’re still treating them like objects and that isn’t right."

[isadora-greene]

"Hmm," Isadora let a small sigh escape her lips, and she brushed her hair away from her face. She didn't particularly like being scolded, no matter how nicely. "How would I feel? Well I wouldn't know, considering most of Barton's residents aren't stronger than I am. And-" she replied somewhat dreamily, twirling her hand in the air, "if you think about it, everything is an object. People are objects. Not their souls of course, but their vessels are simply objects, made to follow commands. The commands of their brain, or, the commands of myself, if I wish."

[sherffwolf]

I got a serious question. Okay —- 

What’s the point of prank calls?

[isadora-greene]

Not sure. I never really found them amusing, to be honest.
