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.

Legit. We'll figure it out when we catch up to 'em, probably.

[And then she'll need a salad of her own.]

Probably. I'd try to nudge them in your direction to make this easier, but no one's going to be listening to me in that regard anyway.

[claudiometer]

I have 'kidnapped a federal agent' on my resume. I'll figure something out.

[whydoyoushine]

Hey, that sounds like fun. Let me know if there's anything I can do if you plan something that wild.

[claudiometer]

I doubt I'll need to do anything that drastic.

[whydoyoushine]

But where's the fun in that?

[claudiometer]

I dunno, I think not getting harpooned or whatever is plenty of fun.

[whydoyoushine]

...if anyone tries anything with that, I'm gonna set them on fire.

[claudiometer]

Off the ship, please? Helena won't hesitate to fuck your shit up if you do something to earn it.

[whydoyoushine]

Yeah, she's made that pretty clear.

[claudiometer]

I bet she has.
