On her way to the first leader meeting...
All right. In the interest of keeping everyone on the same page, here's the story we're going with, at least on the finny side of things. Those of you with legs should work your story to fit with this.
We're calling ourselves the Cornu school currently, although that's not our original name. We had territory invaded by the Thalassans and during the invasion we lost all our sirens and the bulk of our warriors. We're running away to regroup and figure out where we're going next, so we're only asking if they'll let us stay on the island for a month or two. Like we discussed, I'm currently de facto Leader, but I'm very new at this.
There was a storm. We found the Cornu, which had its crew swept overboard. No one knew the Song of Breath, so we couldn't do anything. Because we felt responsible, we said we'd help the passengers and the cabin boy find their way to shore, but because they got blown off course it made more sense to try to find the legendary island hidden in the Labyrinthine Shoals than to get them to a human port. They're here to hunt and fish and replenish their supplies so we can take them to the human port.
We're probably going to only need to stay for a month or two. That covers how long the Jaunt should last.
I'm going to be vague as to where you humans come from originally, but you should probably get the story together. I think Lyall knows where you're going to claim to be from?
Lupa, you should really try not to Sing in front of people, but if you get caught... you were raised by mermaids--not our school--and you lost them and booked passage on the Cornu to find them. We are completely confused as to why you can Sing at all, but we're keeping you alive so we can find out. And also because it would upset the other humans.
All we know about the Pulao school is that they're just as confused about the weird Song as we are.

[Because someone's going to have to lie for you when you can't do it for yourself.]
no subject
[If he was 'raised' by mermaids, might as well talk like one, right? Also lying is a confounding and difficult thing and Lupa has no idea how people manage to do it.]
no subject
Yeah... maybe that's a good idea...
no subject
But there's a significant pause before Lupa speaks again.]
I have encountered Alcuin's life here. It might be best to suggest that you didn't discover that I could Sing until that corrupted Song sounded. If you didn't know much, if anything, about me before, any possible backlash should fall only on me.
no subject
Okay. I'll. I'll do that.
[You can't see but she's dragging her hand down her face.]
no subject
He hasn't attacked me, although I believe he fears for his school. I've offered to stay aboard the ship, but he hasn't given an answer about that yet.
no subject
... does he look all right?
