@box-of-characters whispered for a starter !

It’d seemed like a long time since he last saw others of his kind. The only vague memory he could recall were the sounds of gasps and horrified faces as he was escorted out of their little utopia; both familiar and unidentifiable faces mingling with the sea as they watched him get persecuted. So at first, he’d thought it was just one of the sharks swimming about above the layer of rocks he’s hidden himself in. Though, a quick look towards the sea floor and he could see a silhouette of something much different than any of the marine life that’s frequented this place.

His chains rustled as he got up and poked his head out, only to glare onwards at the mermaid that hovered around his turf. Ray had the right to call it that, considering the amount of months and years he’s spent locked away here. It was an unfamiliar face, but still one that wasn’t welcoming. “What are you doing here?”

It’s not every day Iori sees large children come in, especially in groups. What are they called? Teens? Something like that. But one in particular catches the mermaid’s eye, mainly due to his bright blue hair.

“Ah!” A few bubbles escape her lips and float to the water’s surface, and she starts patting the glass to try and get the boy’s attention.

Tales of Tails

@arielsprincessmelody

Belle wasn’t from Atlantica. Her pod of merfolk lived on a reef past the edge of the great seafloor city. She’d often been warned against going up to the surface, of course, but she rarely listened. Especially when her curiosity got the best of her. Like it had today. She loved watching humans’ ships from the surface. They were so much more interesting this way than just the boring bottom of the hull from beneath.

And the people she could see onboard the ship from where she hid were so varied and colourful. Just as merfolk were. It was amazing how similar they could be, but at the same time how different.

The Boy & The Mer

@drake-under-fire Dr.Ernest steers the small dingy near the shallows, paddling towards the deeper part of the cove. He's just moved in a week ago with Elyan. Being a dragonologists meant they traveled a lot.

Having come into the fishing town to settle & study the aquatic species of Dragons sighted around the cove. What he didn't expect was the opportunity to meet a pod of merfolk.

He runs the boat up into the rocky section of the beach, hopping out & offering Elyan a hand to help him onto the beach, splashes & playful whistles were heard as the pod moved into the tide pools to sunbathe.

Ernest warns Elyan.

"Be careful little one. You'll get to the meet the pod today. Just stay by me & you'll get to collect some shells too. How does that sound? Might even find pirates treasure!"

Ruffling Elyans hair, he heads to the pod. Not hearing the flurry of bubbles rising to the surface of the shallows.

All was quiet in the deep depths of the abyss that he was stuck in. Nothing out of the ordinary had really gone down here, which was supposed to be a good thing, right? Yet, living in isolation for so long, normal was almost maddening and the sense of time was distorted with the lack of sunlight here. It hadn’t helped that Ray tucked himself away in a tight little crevice for the time bring-- the feeding frenzy had only just ended.

Shifting his tail, he’d carefully unrolled from his uncomfortably cozy position and slithered himself just enough to poke his out out from the rocks. A small glimpse at what was leftover of the sharks’ meals slowly descending towards the rocks he called ‘home’. Yet, just before Ray was able to reach out for it, something had darted pass and snatched it. For a brief moment, he retracted his hand quickly-- more afraid of it being bitten off than anything else. Another second later and he poked his out out completely with fanged teeth bared in annoyance. “Thief!”

Maria: "Are you really going to eat all of that right now?"

“Better now than when its rotting later, princess.” He spoke through a mouthful of bluefin tuna with the remains of its mangled, broken body dangling from his hands. Crumbs of scales sticking onto his chin and lips, yet that didn’t stop the merman from sinking his teeth into the fish — every bite was savored and gradually filling his stomach. A sudden thought rang in his head as the male paused and looked towards the blue mermaid in front of him, only to shrug it off: a thought of sharing was fleeting, considering his VENOM must of been coursing through the tuna by now and it showed through the already darkening vessels of skin and flaky meat from where he had bit off.

Instead, he settled for a light tease. “Is somebody upset that she’s missing out?”

Maria: “… no… I’m tired… let me sleep… I don’t want to get up.” tfw you remember this fish can sleep for stupid amounts of time

“In MY hidey hole?” With one exasperated sigh, Ray shook his head.

“Just this once — but if you try DARE try to take up more than your share in this pit, I’m throwing you out to the barracuda’s.”
