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.

...What?

This was basically a giant violation of vampire secrecy--we call it the Masquerade--and so the Prince off New York had to execute someone. And I was driving the van, so she chose me and my dumb friend who got the cops shot.
The Arcana rescued me before I finished dying.
[She probably explains this way too calmly for anyone's comfort]
no subject
Oh, Thorne... I-I did not know. By the gods.
no subject
Then her goons shot me full of lead and I lost consciousness.
After that, I think they would have taken me up to the roof and staked me there, so that I could burst into flames with the sunrise. We can heal from a lot of stuff, you know, but not immolation.
But they grabbed me before then. So here I am instead, unliving on borrowed time. Living now.

Oh, how his heart aches.]
My deepest of sympathies, Thorne.... I... [He can't think of how to complete a sentence. Then he knows, sort of, what to say, a reflection of something she said earlier in the conversation, and he gives a weak mental laugh.] P-Perhaps I am not the only one that could use a hug. Your sorrow is far greater than my own.
no subject
But maybe after I'm done meeting with the Pulao guys I'll take you up on that hug.
no subject
[he does feel a bit better with that comment, at least.]
As I said--we could both use one.
no subject
I'll even put a top back on. Just for you.
End here?
I would appreciate that greatly.
yes
