Oh my god I loved this so much

he used to joke that he was good with his hands, but then he had gotten his memories back and that phrase had become more meaningful. Ian would not have considered himself to be crafty, but it turned out that he was. even if the myriad bracelets and necklaces he used to sell to women on the beach were mostly fakes, he still put some of them together. the shells and pearls were pretty, just...not the real thing.

as he walked through the park and into the meadow, Ian put the final touches on a delicate bracelet made of grass and, admittedly, mostly weeds. it was admirable, but the flowers were small and it wouldn’t last long. fleeting beauty, he supposed. the voice of a certain someone rings in his head, lecturing him on proper flower placement again, but he ignores it. he has a goal in mind...and that’s pawning the bracelet off on someone.

it doesn’t take long to find someone perfect. she almost seems like she belongs among the plants somehow, and possesses the type of beauty that seems dangerous. good thing Ian liked a little danger--

“I’ve gotta say,” he begins, extending the bracelet in his hand towards her, “a beauty like yourself looks like she should have more jewelry to match.”

an impressive amount of food sits on the table in front of him. most of it has already been eaten, while some of it has bites taken out of it, and others haven’t been touched yet. upon feeling even the slightest twinge of hunger, Ian had excitedly stopped at a local cafe...and promptly ordered one of most of their food items. feeling hungry was a great thing. sirens did not need to eat, which was an incredibly sad thing, given how delicious some food was.

Ian was currently working on a rather large bowl of pudding (he’d smooth-talked his way into getting a bigger portion than what was usually served), shoveling spoonfuls into his mouth like his life depended on it. when he looked up to take a sip of water, he realized someone was looking for an empty seat to sit in. he wasn’t really eager to share his space, but he guessed he was beginning to feel a bit lonely...

scooting some of his empty dishes to the side, Ian pushed the chair opposite of him out a bit with his foot.

“You can sit there, if there’s nowhere else.”

it had taken Ian a while to get used to being able to not only manipulate water while on dry land, but to conjure it seemingly out of nowhere. as a somewhat magical being, of course he believed in magic, but this was something completely new and, as such, was slightly off-putting. creating a vortex while submerged in the water was one thing-- summoning a buckets worth of water out of thin air was another entirely.

however, the spell granted to him turned out to be quite useful. not only was it terribly hot outside during the day, periodically dousing himself with water kept his water withdrawals to a minimum. they had been coming on more frequently than he’d experienced back home and, with few safe places to shift into siren form, it was...worrisome, really. there was nothing he could do about it but manage them as best as he could, though.

as he dumps another spells worth of water atop his head, Ian shakes his head not unlike a wet dog, flinging water droplets everywhere. this would have been perfectly fine...had there not been someone nearby. someone just close enough to get lightly splattered with water.

“Uh...” while he’s sure the water didn’t hurt him, even Ian has enough self-awareness to try and apologize. “My bad. I guess be glad it wasn’t a full bucket? Still not sure how to control this all that well.”

the moment he began to feel dizzy, a great feeling of despair rooted itself in Ian’s chest. he knew it had been too good to be true. appearing human was not the same thing as actually being human; he knew that, truly knew that, but a part of him wanted to hope that this new place he’d been brought to was his saving grace. as his water withdrawals set in, Ian had to face the very harsh fact that he was still a siren.

despite the mild panic setting in, Ian managed to collect his thoughts. he was in public, which meant he would either have to hurry home and hope he could make it to a water source before he passed out, or...find something else. thankfully, a quick look around was all it took to find what he hoped would be a temporary fix: a water fountain. hurriedly, Ian approached, pushed the button on the side, and stuck his head in the stream of water.

relief. for now. as he brushed his now soaked hair back, he realized he had an audience of one. they seemed to be focusing more on the fountain than on him, but...

“I know I’m pretty, but you don’t have to stare.”

...at least he’s feeling well enough to be obnoxious.

rp ad here for everyone’s favorite flirty siren! cap is 3 for now and they’ll be of varying lengths. also, feel free to specify if you wanna interact with him in human form or siren form and i’ll accommodate!! 

[wavefelled]

“YES--! LEGS!” if you look to your left, you’ll see a man who is very excited about his appendages. should he be more discreet? of course-- but, he’s happy, for the moment!

Ian -- Siren’s Lament

local disaster bi

flirtatious almost to the point of being obnoxious

...but he’ll grow on you, i promise

(don’t call him out on that being a defense mechanism)

a siren whose old goal was only to transfer his curse onto a broken-hearted human

now he’s a bit more interested in finding a way to end the curse completely, thanks to a certain someone

loves pudding more than himself and probably more than you

if you’ve ever wanted to see a siren, coughMermancough, he’s your guy-- odds are he won’t show you unless you’re somehow around when he’s in he water

he’ll get water withdrawals and need to be in or near water almost immediately, so pls look out for your local thirsty siren wink

no but seriously his withdrawals could kill him

[vraelgard]

without a prior reserve, i'd like to app Ian from Siren's Lament! app is on the sidebar or under /app

the city is open to you, ian. welcome to terra.

you will be housed in sybella apartments S6, where you will find a spacious bathtub for all your bathing needs. it seems you’ve also been given a coupon for a meal at the local all-you-can-eat sushi restaurant, which just seems insensitive.

you seem to be able to swap between human and siren form, which should help with the total lack of beach available to you; it does seem to be taking more out of you, however, and your water withdrawals are more severe.

you have been granted aqua’s spell splash to use at your discretion.
