What The Water Gave Me

"...Hello, pleased to make your acquaintance. My name is Cahal, I was born a warrior and it is my duty to protect those who are weaker. Unfortunately, I cannot do much on land. Forgive me, I am still not used to using legs..." ((Closed RP blog affiliated with hopesreverie.

After a very awkward hand shake the man introduced himself as Cahal, a fairly unique name. Cahal seemed very rigid and serious but Beatrice still grinned and loudly said, “Hi Cahal.”, feeling happy with herself for talking to new people so well. That feeling was undone a little though as Cahal asked about where he was and how to get out. “Um, no, I can’t help really. Well maybe a little with the first part. This is a theme park but I don’t know where it is and no one really knows where it is. Everyone just sort of woke up here. I don’t know how to get out because no one’s been able to find an exit that isn’t blocked. Um, sorry.”

"...Hi." He greeted back, thinking she was way too cheery, but of course he wasn't going to mention it.

Cahal was disappointed to hear she couldn't help, but since she seemed to be in the same situation as him he couldn't be angry at her. Instead, the warrior simply nodded. "I see... so there are more people here? I suppose I've slept for a while, then. I did not see anyone else back there." He blinked. "There is no need to apologize. I have another question, though. Do you know where I can find water? Any place will do, even a bathroom."

Why is everything so confusing? {Open RP}

As if being in an unknown place with no memory of how he had gotten there wasn't enough, the headache, which had subdued earlier came back as soon as the buzzing sound started. Before the warrior knew what was happening, his feet moved on its own, bringing him to the same place where he recalled waking up.

What he found there was surprising, as most things had been so far. Cahal was not familiar with the... animal? He wasn't sure it was an animal, and was even more confused when it began speaking like a human.

The entire speech, everything the creature said was confusing. The warrior couldn't understand the reason why he had been brought there... Was it an experiment? An experiment with murder? Even for someone like him it sounded too awful to be truth, but he couldn't know what the others were thinking. He would have to be wary of everyone, he couldn't let himself get too close to anyone, not with his life at stake...

When they were finally left alone, Cahal didn't move. He was worried, not only about himself, but worried for his people and what they would do without him... If only he could remember something, but no matter how much he forced his mind, he couldn't.

The warrior stood there, his gaze directed towards the floor as he analyzed his situation, the information about the collar completely forgotten, and his usual deadpan expression replaced with one of worry.

Beatrice stood nervously as the man she’d approached stared at her, even tilting his head, probably all because of her appearance. Beatrice smiled relived when he finally said something.

“I’m Beatrice Summer.” Beatrice smiled and held out her hand before shuffling forward so that her and stranger were actually close enough to shake hands. “Um…” She paused and thought before she answered the second question. Her immediate instinct was telling her to say what she wanted was to make a friend but that seemed forceful and kind of embarrassing. “I just want to talk?” Beatrice eventually answered, sounding hesitant in her own answer.

Cahal tensed again as the girl held out her hand, looking at it and back to her face with a puzzled expression. He didn't know anything about human courtesies, but he could recall seeing peoplel shaking hands like that before. With slightly aprehensive moves, he slowly reached out and awkwardly shook her hand for no less than a second before retreating his arm, but visibly more relaxed than before.

"...Beatrice Summer... My name is Cahal." The warrior introduced himself, his face devoid of any expression. "Then talk. I need to know where I am and how to get out, can you help me?"

Beatrice stood in front of a ride labelled “The Executioner” not far from where she woke up. It sounded dramatic and being shaped like a giant axe helped, except Beatrice thought rides were supposed to be fun. Or was it scary? Could they be both? She considered trying out the ride but she didn’t even know how to start that, and even I she did given what she’d heard about this place so far it might not be a good idea. The whole place was kind of scary, and not scary like the way rides were possibly supposed to be scary, just the kind of scary that made you wanna leave. Beatrice spun around the heels of her feet and prepared to wander elsewhere when she spotted someone.

It was man, who didn’t seem that far of her age from what Beatrice could make out a distance. He was dressed in a blue robe and she noticed marks on his arms and neck, tattoos possibly. Excited to meet someone else Beatrice made a leap from where she stood and began to run at the at the person nearby. She suddenly got nervous and skidded to a stop, still leaving a bit of distance between her and the man in front of her. Beatrice was unsure of how to make sure this person recognised she was friendly but had no idea of how to appropriately act. Nervously she waved at the probably confused person in front of her and waited for him to say something.

Not being very familiar with the human world, Cahal felt confused and lost as he explored the place. He had never seen anything like those rides before, and he had no idea what they were for. His curiosity drove him to something that looked like a huge axe, but before he could approach it, the warrior noticed someone else heading his way.

His instincts made him tense up, not knowing if the person - apparently a girl - could cause him any harm, but fortunately, she stopped before getting too close. The warrior managed to relax a bit, but remained aware as he stared curiously at the creature in front of him, tilting his head to the side as he took in her appearance. Definitely not human, but not completely inhuman either... She looked harmless, but whether she was truly harmless or not, Cahal couldn't tell.

He straightened his back and spoke up. "...Who are you and what do you want?"

The first thing Cahal noticed before he even opened his eyes was the dull pain on his head. He knew what it meant. He had been out of the water for too long. 

Even though he knew he had to find water, when he opened his eyes and looked around, the merman found himself in an unfamiliar place, and he couldn't remember how he had gotten there. Groaning, the merman sat up and looked down at his legs, realizing (and thanking all the gods for it) that he was dressed in some light blue robes.

"Ugh... What is this place...?" Cahal mumbled to himself, standing up on slightly shaky legs before looking around again. Tthe warrior decided to explore and have a look around, hoping to find someone.
