He drummed his fingers on the counter, giving her a confused look. “Gate crasher? Where do you work again?”

He poured himself a shot of vodka, too, and downed it in one gulp. “Hey, if it makes you feel better, at least you don’t have to deal with drunk people trashing the bar.”

Natalya cleared her throat and mentally prepared herself for what she was about to do. Boy, she will talking for a long time tonight.

“True. Thank God. Anyway, I work in a cemetery, you see,” she began, letting out a huff through her nose, “You know how it goes: solemn. Serious. Everyone’s in mourning. Tears were shed. This particular man I had to bury was... peculiar.” Oh hell, she can feel a migraine rise up her forehead. “Very... peculiar. Unorthodox, you might say.”

❛ This is your bright idea of a plan? ❜

“Uh… Yeah… I guess it was ” Cristian said, standing with his arms folded as what it turned out to be a massive display of rose petals on the pavement outside of the shop, with loud music playing and scents at the doors “Well, I was told to think of something that would attract customers” He looked at her smirking “Definitely draws their eye in, don’t you think?

[r-usalki-blog]

Natalya scrunched up her eyebrows as she carefully eyed the flashy and extravagant display right before her. Maybe it’s just not her taste, but she thought it was a bit extreme.

“Sure, I guess,” she answered him, picking up a petal from the ground before dropping it again, “It catches your attention, for certain. Just hope the loud music wouldn’t disturb the spirits that sleep in this area.“

A miracle? Qué dulce! Pero…I’m sure it’s not that much of a rarity…I don’t know many people who like them after all.

I see. This place is better than I thought.

People back where I lived love the hell out of it. Can’t understand why though. It was nasty. [ shrugs ] What other foods do you like?

[r-usalki-blog]

[nods his head in greeting]

Hm? You here to bury your soul or your hopes and dreams? Are you out to visit a dead relative? [ so straightforward, natalya ]

[kneels, takes flowers that have long since dried up out of the vase there and replaces them with the new, fresh flowers] [takes a deep breath] 

[rises to his feet, turns looking a little wary] thank you for bring me to her. [gestures] do you have to guide me back out? 

[ while he was paying his respects, she watches the seagulls fly around ] [ also there seems to be a crow trying to break open a nut of some sort ] [ she turns to him when he speaks ] Yes. Of course [ she straightens herself ] Don’t want to get lost in this sea of souls in the dark. This place comes alive come twilight.

[talesofalifeatsea]

What kind of books do you guys have on, like, mermaid folklore or something?

Hmmm. We have a lot on that subject, actually, since it’s been recently discovered that there is a mermaid kingdom near the town. [ smiles politely ] Would you like me to show you where they’re kept? [ not like he has anything better to do at the moment tbh ]

[r-usalki-blog]

talesofalifeatsea:

[ wh–the attention is making him feel a bit uncomfortable ] Erm, of course. The library won’t get up and leave. [ smiles ] You can come back as many times as you’d like–or borrow up to three at a time, if you’d prefer to read them at home.

I see. Excellent. [ that’s very nice ] [ please expect her to come by every other afternoon ] I’d like to borrow whatever material I wouldn’t be able to finish reading until closing--or until I have to leave. How much do you charge to borrow them?

[myladyliechtenstein]

"fish-men walk among us. conquerers of land, BORN FROM THE OCEAN--"

Her eyes go wide, “Like a reverse-mermaid?! Can I meet one?!!?” She bounces up and down, all excited now.

[r-usalki-blog]

myladyliechtenstein:

Lilli nodded vehemently. Real mermaids exist? “You know a real mermaid?” Lilli looked at the older girl with awe. She had read about mermaids at the library, but had never considered they might be real. She shook her head at her foolishness. If fairies were real, then of course mermaids were too. And reverse-mermaids probably did too, just this lady didn’t know any.

You are in luck, child. Right now standing in front of you is an actual mermaid..... kind of.

“Yes. I do,” she answered, “But you must keep this a secret between us. Otherwise... it wouldn’t be good for the mermaids if they’re found out.” And she sure wouldn’t want to endanger herself and any other mermaid humans may begin looking for. She doesn’t know how people in Gramina react to mermaids but she supposed this young girl is trustworthy--at least, she can feel she’s trustworthy.

[ points at his shirt ] unlucky. negate the bad luck by wearing blue.

[raises a brow] pardon? but i like this color, it’s my trademark! am i doing anything wrong? i don’t mean to be offending anyone [frowns]

[r-usalki-blog]

danishfineapple:.

[his frown deepens] [he addresses her with a kind but confused voice] But… what’s wrong with it? Why can’t a guy wear his favorite color in peace? Are the evil spirits gonna come after me? [he gasps dramatically, getting into this and growing genuinely concerned] Am I gonna be cursed for all eternity? 

Yes [ she answers that deadpan ] Most unfortunately. But lucky for you, it wouldn’t last an eternity. It’s just very inconveniencing. For example, a bird might come and shit on your favorite shirt and it wouldn’t care. [ she looks around ] [ there are no birds right now except for that pigeon that’s busy attacking a worm ] Are you going to take the risk?

"...why is that cow looking at me?"

“Because you are beautiful!” 

Paco laughed at his own joke from where he sat atop his ranch’s fence. “No, no, I am teasing, the cows just like to stare. You are very beautiful, but the cow does not know that, because she is a cow.”

[r-usalki-blog]

“You must have very high standards then,” Natalya replied, her nose wrinkling, hands dusting her skirt, “Thinking someone covered head to toe in soot beautiful.” The people here are really strange, she thought. “Truthfully, however, I would be more surprised if the cow did know that. How amusing.”

"One time I broke my finger during school, but I just ignored it because I had a test the next period."

“If you’d been my student, I’d have let you go home; a student cannot work to their full potential when hurt,” Josephine offered a blithe grin, “although, you must be very brave - didn’t it hurt?”

[r-usalki-blog]

dancingdaydreamer:

“Still,” Josephine pouted lightly, “schools should be more caring towards students - each are an individual, non? Not a whole…I must say, I treat my students with utmost care, I have to.”

A quick smile, “dance requires someone to be fit at all times, or else it’s not enjoyable! Anyway-” she waved her hand a little, “-I’m sorry, I’m rambling-”

Natalya thought this woman has a point. She recalled a memory she had with her homeroom teacher in fifth grade when that incident happened. Eventually, she gave up. There wasn’t really much can remember except that her broken finger caused great difficulty for her to focus during the exam and that as soon as it was over, she skipped the rest of her school day.

“...huh.” She blinked, realizing she has spaced out while the other was speaking, “What were you saying again?”

He poured a shot of vodka (already watered down, because he was trying to save money) and slid it to her. “Here.” Claude hoped she wouldn’t noticed the fact that the alcohol wasn’t as strong, especially because she already seemed to be in a sour mood. “So, uh… You going to be alright?”

As soon as the shot glass was within her reach, she downed the liquor in one go. She thought there was something weird about the strength of the vodka but she didn’t bother it longer. All that matters was that it was still good.

“Yes,” she answered the bartender, rubbing some of the liquid off her lips with her hand, “I will be. After I’m done dealing with that fucking gate crasher.”

[Send ☔ for our muses to share an umbrella on a rainy day]

@jinjaotoko

Rain plus winter isn’t much of a concern to Natalya. It doesn’t really bother her much--in fact, it’s in the cold weather that she thrives and is more full of energy than usual. She was on her way to the shrine when she spotted the young man beside her. She figured, from his look, that he needs an umbrella. And the blonde remembered the kindness that came from the stranger who helped her in a situation like this a season ago. Thus, she decided to pass on the kindness to him as well.

“...you need an umbrella?” Wait... “Do you want to share my umbrella, I mean?”

[couleurs-et-cognac-blog]

Claude looked up when the door opened, offering a halfhearted, tired smile.  “Hey, take a seat. You want anything?  We’re fresh out of rum at the moment, but I’ve got everything else in at the moment. Or I could try mixing a drink for you if you’ve got something in mind.”

[r-usalki-blog]

"If you've got some vodka--plain vodka--that would be great."

Lazily, Natalya dragged her feet across the room and toward the first open seat she set her eyes on. God. Today has been an unusually long day. It's not often that she goes straight to the bar after work--oh no, she would rather much go home and sleep until the next century than sit in some bat and have some drinks--but today sounded like a good day for a shot (just one or two) of the distilled liqour before collapsing on her bed. "Just. One."
