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 to know.

[seestheworld]

Besides, you'd never hear the end of it from Mothman and Suzaku.

[fruitknife]

Probably not, no. Where even are they right now?

[seestheworld]

Suzaku's perched on my shoulder looking very put out about being tiny again, and Mothman decided to go to sleep in my satchel for a while, presumably because he doesn't feel like arguing.

[fruitknife]

Huh. Didn't know they'd make pets blend in too. [Not that it doesn't make sense, but.]

[seestheworld]

Yeah, they do, sometimes to the great annoyance of the pet in question.

[Ask her about that time Mothman spent an entire Jaunt as a Bit. Or don't; there was a lot of aggrieved chirping then.]
