❛   ever make a deal with a sea witch for your legs ??   ❜ the question comes with a faint laugh, a nod to the other's self. maybe there was never a sea witch involved. maybe he's the sea witch. maybe he steals voices. frankly, pasha could believe that without much hesitation. pretty faces and all. ❛   hm, guess that joke only works if you've seen the movies... or read the book, but eh, it's a little grim for my taste.   ❜ he shrugs, adding, ❛   i don't think a net would kill you.   ❜

A stark lack, of laughter should have told his guest all that was needed to know. Arm that's lifted, free from the waters and cradling his face falls into place 'longside its' twin, resting 'pon stony crag. Tail, languid, sways in chilly waters.

❝ I know, many of the little ... stories. ❞ he sighs, inspecting lengthy claws, eyes snapping up to meet two - legged one. Smile, that spreads across his lips is not cruel, nor is it entirely welcoming. ❝ Nets can kill some of us ; those that must swim to survive. But, I find myself higher than base fish - folk. ❞

That's why they were consumed like fodder. ❝ But, to answer your query, no ; Sea - Witches are not needed, to produce our legs. A little fun - fact, for you to stumble away with, sand - shuffler. ❞

❛ how much to see a dead body up close ?? ❜ he's fishing bills out of a wallet that did not exist three seconds ago. none of the currency he owns is recognizable. one of them has a penguin head where a president's profile should be. another makes a honk-honk sound when he rolls it between his index and thumb.

❛ i know this is probably illegal, but i don't get to see dead things often, and i'm kinda curious if humans actually like... ❜ he bobs his head from side to side, finding the words for a beat. ❛ if they like, go the way of the pufferfish, y'know ?? i have a twenty in here somewhere, but it's from a universe where a squid became the prez, so iunno if you want it. anyways, how much ?? ❜

incoming message ... @voidorca. accepted!

the fashion in which he pulls out various different kinds of currency feels like it was ripped right out of a slapstick cartoon. your brows furrow as you watch, reeling more and more with each new bill. you release a sigh as pasha continues to bargain with you. this was a good job, one in which you didn't plan on leaving until you retired. a dedicated worker and that meant you couldn't risk any sort of write ups.

❝ it is. if it makes ya' feel any better, i wouldn't let in any of my friends either. ❞ because you have next to none or because they have no idea where you work? that line of thinking was quick to halt, however. ❝ ... th' way of the pufferfish, what does that mean? ❞

❛ people need to get over themselves. ❜ it's a bold statement from an equally uncaring source, the world-hopper all-devourer almost as engrossed in his candy bar as he is in the general happenings around him. that is to say, not at all.

❛ like, i'm walking the other day, right ?? and i'm minding my own business. and then this dude calls me something under his breath. and i'm like, ❜ he makes a vague gesture with his hands. ❛ dude looked like he was on his third divorce, fourth shot of vodka, and fifth blue-balling session at nine o'clock in the fucking morning. excuse me for wearing a hello kitty sweater. ❜

She, does not know where to start, the thunderous cry of too many questions, rollinhg through her skull. What was divorce ? Vodka ? BLYE - BALLING ? Who was Hello Kitty ?! All the while, brow furrows, but kindest smile remains. She listens to him, curious if choice in clothing, was the culprit. Humans, she's learned, could be fiercely judgmental, and even more so if one did not adhere to the gender - norms and restrictions chosen and carved into stone.

❝ ... I'm sorry, my dear. ❞ She says, after a brief spell, lightness of her voice lending an air of genuineness to the sentiment. ❝ Though much ... of that has moved beyond my understanding, I believe the intent was ... he was unkind without purpose. That's unfair to you. You ought to wear what you want without others' unwarranted critique ... ❞ And truly, does she mean so. Arms, surprisingly, are not offered out in her normal hug. Instead, hand comes out, to take his sole, a gentle squeeze given. ❝ As ... someone who is not able to do so ; be yourself. Freely, and unapologetically. Do not give anyone, even your anger ; your frustration. ❞

@voidorca whispered to the pit . . .

❛   apple is a name and a half,  ❜ begins the devotee of devouring. he taps his index finger 'gainst his chin in played-up contemplation, as if this is a matter that truly deserves every possible moment of his rapt attention. ❛   was that like, your first choice of a name, orrrr... ?? gotta say, it'd be funny as hell if you say your first name was somethin' like, i dunno, banana or something.   ❜  

" it's kiwi, actually. "

says the king flatly, biting into a fruit of their own namesake. dull, pale green eyes stare at pasha unblinkingly while they sit with each other, the ten-winged angel sitting just barely ahead of the back of the bench to keep her posture right, each wing folded and glamoured smaller than they actually are against her back.

a shake of her head follows.

" apollyon is my full name. apple is just a bit easier. less cumbersome. my quirkier, less serious dad decided it was an endearing nickname, if you can believe it. i think it stuck pretty well. anyway, what kind of name is pasha ? "

a shrug of the shoulders.

" it's just a name. when you have so many different ways to be referred, you get tired of looking for the right one. sometimes, it just falls in your lap. i don't complain. "
