@hauntedcllhouse / starter call / jerrie

A cautious look, at the glass of water. A small poke to the side of it. Curiously, he watched it. To an onlooker, it was a simple glass of water. To Will, it was … a glass of water, but as well as that, it was a curious on - land thing. To contain water, in a glass ! It was almost like how Jerrie had shown him how the bathtub worked, then allowing him to be in the water while … away from the water.

“ … At this rate, I’m not sure I’ll be able to … what’s the phrase ? Stay under the radar ? ”

hello ! 

so, i’ve been on hiatus for a while. recently, i’ve been missing writing, so i’m going to try to move to low activity ! i’ve downsized things a lot, and i’m going to do things very slowly.

i have redone my muse list, and it’s a lot smaller now ( muse list is now located in my new pinned post, as are my updated rules ( no big changes, just rewriting ) ) . my blogs ( aside from this one ) that are also going to be active are listed in my new pinned.  ( you’re welcome to follow whichever you want to ! i don’t mind crossovers ! i just want to have fun ! )

i’m going to be starting fresh with threads, too, for the most part ( the exceptions being some threads that i’m probably going to post replies to soon ) . unprompted things are welcome, and i’ll reblog some p.rompts soon. 

my activity is going to be very slow, and my replies may not be as long as they have been before — but i’d like to do at least a little writing ! i’m going to just have fun, and try to not stress myself out with anything.

i look forward to hopefully doing a bit of writing again !

Jerrie bit back another cascade of giggles as she could only imagine her brother's deep blush behind the glass and the built-in regulator obscuring his face. Behind it, however, there was something of a smirk and a mind to return the favor once his lips weren't obstructed by heavy diving gear.

With the affirmative, the three plunged down into the endless stretch of blue. After equalizing (a very important step for Hartley) and adjusting their buoyancy, the siblings exchanged okay signals with each other and Will. Once all was settled, Jerrie and her brother went their separate way, delicate fins flitting through the water.

"Testing the comms, over," Hartley's voice hissed through the speakers.

"Likewise, over." It took a moment for the quiet, almost wonderstruck Jerrie's voice to follow. Her wide blue eyes had been looking out for what sparse sea life there was on their path, but she knew that their objective was the most important thing and did her best to stay focused on that (while still being mindful of their environment, of course).

Will dived into the water with the smoothness of … well, a water creature, which he essentially was, at that point. Water travel still made him feel a bit sick after … everything, but it was their best option for this task.

“ Loud and clear, ” Will responded. That was a few of his worries, already taken care of. No malfunctions, and an easy transition into water for them all … not to jinx it, and he certainly hoped those successes would carry throughout their mission.

Jerrie, wide-eyed and filled with wonder, was a sweet sight to behold. William swam over, passing underneath her and looking up at her. He released a few bubbles at the perfect timing so that they’d just barely hit her, and waved up at her with smiling eyes ( for his smile itself was hidden behind his mask ) .

[terrafound]

[ @c-aptainslog , continuing from here ! ]

The situation is beginning to piece itself together, however precariously. Will: Castaway. Sole survivor. Failed experiment. No access to land?

Warp crystal: No closer to getting them out of here.

Maybe that's just as well. It's not like the Captain can bring him with them. He's an entire person! Who probably shouldn't be pulled into a wormhole! Then again, he shouldn't be stuck out here.

"This suit wasn't really meant for it, no. But I... can swim, if need be." Can they? They do know how to swim, right? They glance at the water, uneasy. "How far are your encampments?"

The tablet. They have the tablet. They pull it out, but hesitate in getting too hopeful. Different universes, and all. "I don't know if I'll get a signal." The ship's model isn't familiar to them, but when he said they crashed... "Is this Earth, or somewhere else?"

“ Honestly … ? I’ve been operating out of an escape lifepod. Haven’t really … had the chance to establish a proper base. ”

Everything has happened so fast. Suddenly the ship was on fire, then he was launching out in a lifepod … and the next thing he knew, he was the sole survivor from a crashed ship.

… and now there’s a strange person there, too. He still isn’t sure how to react to that part.

“ Somewhere else. Alien planet. I … don’t think we were actually supposed to stop here, or at least not exactly here, in the middle of the ocean. I’m having a hard time figuring out what happened … kind of difficult when you don’t have authorization to access all files, and half of the crashed ship is on fire and radioactive. ”

[terrafound]

^ does not remember what non-synthetic food tastes like

[terrafound]

No one gives them a traditional hello, but the fish swimming towards them and the yelp startles Cal enough to swim backwards. Perhaps the stranger hiding in the kelp is in the clear?

Or perhaps not. They approach slowly, once more, careful to keep a respectful distance. Someone's outline stands out, vaguely — another merperson? That isn't too scary. If they were territorial, they would have come out to confront them by now.

"Hello?" they call again. "I didn't mean to scare you." So it is a who. How exciting! "I didn't know whether anyone lived here; I was just exploring. But I'm friendly, I promise."

-

The promise of friendliness is one which Will has to take with a grain of salt — or an entire puddle, given their location. Can he trust the word of the person they are talking about … ? Talking in a loose definition, as the interaction is rather one-sided.

Will hesitantly, nervously, swims forward. Barely peeking through the kelp, but not yet breaching it.

“ … I didn’t think anyone swam near here anymore … ” Will eventually, quietly, says. His tail swishes out below him, softly glowing green-blue hues that fade in and out of luminosity.

[deathmaiidens]

@terrafound:

Why would there be ? Was it normal for humans to stare at one another ? William didn’t pride himself on being knowledgeable about humans ( in fact, he knew quite little ) , but he’d thought that intuition had told him it was strange to stare … or, perhaps, the young girl was trying to pretend she hadn’t been watching.

“ Oh, no … I thought you might have .. needed something. ” Was that what it meant ? Perhaps she was expectant. What, then, could she have been expecting ? Oh, if only it were easier to navigate foreign spaces … Although, William mused, perhaps that was part of what made them foreign.

After a hesitation, William spoke again. “ You must be Jerrie. Hartley’s … ” Ah, what was the word he had used, again ? “ .. sister ? ”

"Oh, ah, no," Jerrie replied somewhat awkwardly, a smile still hanging on her lips like a loose thread. "I was just -- reading. Have you read this?" It was an old reflex of hers to redirect the conversation to her books, but it was also something of a test. If he hadn't heard of it, it didn't exactly mean he was a mythological sea creature that had yet to be proven to exist.

But it didn't exactly mean that he wasn't.

"Yes, I'm his sister. I'm as surprised as you are." Jerrie's weak smile broadened.

[terrafound]

When Jerrie held up the book, Will stared at it uselessly for a few moments. A blink, and then he squinted to look closer. ( He’d picked up the tongue, but the writing was certainly trickier. )

“ I — ah … No, I don’t believe I have. ” Hopefully, the answer was vague enough to rescue him. “ I’m afraid that I’m … not that much of a reader. ” Books didn’t exactly last very long underwater. When he learned a new story, it was through word of mouth … or, rather, click and whistle of snout.

“ I wasn’t surprised. I wasn’t sure when I would have the chance to meet you, is all. ” William thought back to what he had discussed with Hartley up to that point ; Jerrie was quite smart, and Hartley cared about her a lot. It wasn’t a lot of information, but it was something !

[terrafound]

[ @deathmaiidens sent : 🧜Jerrie (p.s SPLOOSH) ] ~~~

Will should have been frightened when he found himself somewhere he didn’t recognize, with people he didn’t know … but he wasn’t. Not … entirely, anyways. It was strange, to be sure … but he’d been able to find his way around. For the most part.

When he ended up tagging along with one of the people he’d met — Hartley was his name, he’d found ; how nicely the human name sounded on his tongue ! — he hadn’t anticipated being brought back to the man’s home. It was a relief, in a way, because it gave him somewhere to be that wasn’t a crowded space. He had known Hartley before, of course … but there hadn’t been time for introductions in between saving the man’s life and fleeing from approaching company before being seen.

The home, however, was not empty … and William couldn’t shake the feeling that the young girl in the house was watching him. Rather intently.

The human language — English ? — still felt strange to him, but he’d managed to pick up enough to at least sound intelligible. With Hartley out of the room and the girl in it, he tried to put that to good use.

“ … Hello, ” he greeted, then asked in a voice he hoped didn’t sound as nervous as he felt, “ Is … something wrong ? ”

[deathmaiidens]

@terrafound

It was like something out of a fairytale or more accurately, a cheesy romantic comedy loosely based on one. Though Jerrie and her brother both turned their snobby little Rathaway noses up at such things, the thirteen-year-old harbored a secret soft spot for them. At least just for a laugh, or so she told her big brother.

It was hard to imagine she'd almost lost him, but (quite literally) out of the blue, came their salvation in the form of this young man. Hartley was thankful for what he'd done, of course, but was equal parts annoyed at his antics and curious to know just who (or rather, what) he was. Jerrie wasn't the best at reading ordinary people, but she was very intuitive and he was far from ordinary.

So she sat quietly on the sofa as she always did, hands folded perfectly in her lap over her well-worn copy of 20,000 Leagues and wide eyes seeing more than most people would think.

"Oh?" Jerrie tried to sound nonchalant, though she was a little taken aback he'd spoken to her. "No, no, nothing's wrong. Why would there be...?" She suppressed a small smile.

They have strayed far beyond their home territory, now. It’s dark. It’s intimidating. It’s new! It’s interesting! Cal circles nearby while they wait for their eyes to adjust to the strange environment.

There might have been some unusual lighting coming from down below, but it could just as easily have been a trick of the light.

Whatever it was, it wasn’t enough to scare them off. There must be a reason they were all instructed not to swim this way, and it’s going to be found. Today. Right here, right now. They’ve made up their mind.

It would be so easy to rush in, but then again… what if the reason this place is off limits is because of a who and not a what? That gives them a pause. They stick out their fingers to brush through the kelp, smiling at the way it rocks and waves.

Well, they aren’t getting bitten. That’s a good sign. “Hello? Is anyone home?”

-

Will begins to hope that they will leave … but then the strange visitor speaks to him. He flinches back, tail flicking to propel him back, father from the voice … but his curiosity still tugs at him. Who are they ? Why are they there ? They certainly don’t seem malicious …

The kelp is his protection. Humans are too scared to swim in it, and boats can’t go over it. For a being made for the water, however, the kelp doesn’t stop them. That thought fills Will with dread and excitement at the same time.

They must have ventured far, to have found themself there … William wonders what could have possibly brought them so far. He leans up to get a better look … and manages to startle a few small fish, which dart off in the direction of the visitor before William can properly apologize. Covering his mouth after a little yelp of surprise, he ducks back, watching once again.

❝ There is but one way to remove the curse: all of the scattered pieces  of the treasure must be restored in full, and the blood repaid. ❞

❝ That’s all very interesting, but I hardly believe in ghost stories any more. ❞

❝ You’ll be dining with the Captain, and he requests you wear this. ❞

❝ Get away from there! You don’t have permission to be aboard there! ❞

❝ Huh. Last time I saw you, you were all alone on a God-forsaken island, shrinking into the distance. ❞

❝ There was a lot of long words in there, missy, and we’re naught but humble pirates. What is it you want? ❞

❝ Not steal; commandeer. We’re going to commandeer a ship. Nautical term. ❞

❝ Welcome to the Caribbean, love. ❞

❝ We can stay alive a month, maybe more. Keep a weather eye open for passing ships, and our chances are fair. ❞

❝ [Name]! I’m not sure I’ve had enough rum to allow that kind of talk. ❞

❝ You’ve been planning this from the beginning. Since you learned my name. ❞

❝ I know now where your heart truly lies. ❞

❝ Just so you know, Jack — I don’t think you’re that clever. I think you’re a fool. ❞

❝ You’ll be positively the most fearsome pirates to sail the Spanish Main. ❞

❝ That’s what a ship is, you know. Not just a keel and a hull and a deck and sails. That’s what a ship need … but what a ship is — what the Black Pearl really is — is freedom. ❞

❝ That’s why he sent off a piece of the treasure — to you, as it were: so it would never be recovered, and so cursed we’d remain. ❞

❝ I have a plan. If it succeeds, then any battle will be decidedly brief … and one-sided. ❞

❝ What are you doing? You’ve burned our food, the shade — the rum! ❞

❝ And as for how we got off the island… ah, that’s a grand adventure, but now is not the time to talk about it. ❞

❝ And though I do say so with regret, the law is clear. The penalty for piracy is death by hanging. ❞

❝ They’ve escaped! There was no damage to the cell… they must have been set free. ❞

❝ Captain [Name] – the Black Pearl is yours. ❞

“ I know, but … ”doesn’t this seem like a little much ? A little desperate ? Will let out a slow huff that sent his curled bangs flitting about. “ … You’re probably right. ”

It wasn’t anything compared to open waters ( he wasn’t even sure he’d be able to fit his whole tail in the water at once ) , but it had to do.

Will lightheartedly rolled his eyes, although he had to admit that the notion did make him slightly flush. He had to hope that the notion wasn’t put to test — not only for the embarrassment of it, but because he wasn’t quite prepared to deal with Hartley finding out the secret.

“ … Okay. Okay, um … ” He moved closer to the tub, thumb pressed against his lower lip in thought. “ I’m afraid I … don’t really know how to use this … ”

"I'll start running the tap," Jerrie explained as she headed over to the tub. "You'd like it cold, right? I think you should dip your hand into it to make sure the temperature is just right before I go and after that -- well, you just get in."

Will nodded after a pause of thought. Warm water might dry him out. After the ordeal of getting him there and after having not been in the water for a while … it would be best to start with what he was used to, he thought. “ I will. I’ll check before getting in, don’t worry. ”

Music ? A music player ? Will wasn’t quite sure what that was, but it certainly sounded pleasant. “ That sounds nice … I’ll be careful not to splash it. ”
