Check-in! (Check fin?)

[thornsofmalkav]

Okay. Uh. Wow. I did not expect to be Investigating as a mermaid. Selkie. Finvestigating. You know.

I also did not expect to get all kinds of shiny mermaid knowledge dumped in my head the moment I ended up in the water, but that seems to have happened anyway. So if anyone wants to know anything about that shit, please do ask me. The most important thing is that the Thalassian Mermaid Queen, the Dread Empress or whatever, is as scary as fuck and our cover story should probably be that we ran away from her empire because we didn’t want to become cannibal berserkers. Which are a thing. Oh my god.

Anyway, it looks like we’re in the world with the Labyrinthine Shoals? Like, that’s evidently where we are. We’re in the Shoals. And I guess we’re mermaids? Some of us? Can anyone chime in to tell me if there’s anyone around who’s not a mermaid.

Actually, maybe we should make this a general check-in with, like, name and species. I’ll go first: this is Thorne and it looks like I’m a California sea lion selkie.

Good, good... keep an eye on each other, alright? I don't know how much help I'll be able to be, we're all going to be working out how to sail this ship.

Also, I'm not sure that I can swim....

[chalicejoker]

Knowing how to swim around here is probably a good idea.

I could probably show you how--even if you have problems learning, you're not going to drown on my watch.

[photonicfighter]

There's an awful lot of water. I think you're right. Would you... would you really? Thank you!

[chalicejoker]

Yeah, I'm trying to scout the area, but when I come back by the ship, we can do it then.

...actually, I may dump Tachibana back over there first. He's...wow, he's an even worse swimmer than I first thought.

[photonicfighter]

That sounds good. Although it looks a little hard to get back up after getting down there... maybe we should wait until we hit land? That might be easier?

Please take care of him until we can figure something safe out! I'd do that myself, but....

[chalicejoker]

Don't worry, I'll make sure he doesn't end up dead.

Probably drag him back into Liminal for a bit.
