Jello shots and fried shrimp? Hell yes. Right up Finley’s alley. While Dennis appeared to be restraining himself a bit, Finley just immediately went for the food they had.

Finley was about to elbow Dennis in the side as he spoke after that look that Elaine gave, quickly interrupted by the parade ...Ah the parade...one about mermaids, of course. Everything in this town was about mermaids.

To be honest, they couldn’t wait until a fight broke out about the town’s history. Sure, the fighting part is bad but Finley will take any discussion about mythology, plus no one really gets injured...they think at least. It’s such a silly thing to fight over too, such an absurd thing to witness two grown (albeit drunk) people fighting over mermaids.

As Luci gathered everyone for a photo, Finley happily let themselves be pulled over by Dennis, lifting up a double peace sign while giving a wink to the camera. Finley was never camera shy, feeling comfortable in the lens. They hadn’t interacted with many of the other townspeople lately, having been cooped up in the library doing more studying on the myths to see if they could uncover anything unknown about the town’s mythology, so being out with everyone filled Finley with a sense of family, of comfort. They hadn’t been this happy in a while.

  • Erik
    Interactions:         Claud, Moon, Leo, Vivian, Blake

    “Claud could you watch the car while we run inside? I’ll be right back out and then we can go patrol more or if there’s anything you’d like to do we can go do that.” He assured his new partner before exiting the car. He knew Claud probably had some personal stuff he wanted to attend to or that he had something in the town he’d want to see. Moon explained to Erik that she would tend to Blake’s injuries while she tried to calm Vivian.

    “Sounds like a plan.” He responded, he didn’t normally have any issues comforting members of the clan, but some of them were wild cards when it came to emotions. While Vivian was normally more reserved when she was feeling more emotional than normal she was definitely a wildcard. He figured maybe it had something to do with her age or perhaps it was because she had been alone for a long time and wasn’t part of a clan for a while so it was just a lack in social skills. Either way he wasn’t sure if he was truly prepared to take care of Vivian emotionally.

    He and Moon rushed inside and quickly found Vivian Blake and Leo. Just from looking at Blake he could tell she was in a lot of pain, but she hadn’t thrown up which was good. At least she hadn’t thrown up yet. He hated seeing his clans members in pain and as much as he wanted to help Blake he kept in mind that Moon would have to be the one to tend to her. On the other hand, Vivians normal composure was beginning to crumble into an emotional mess. Please don’t have an emotional break down. He pleaded in the back of his mind as he approached her placing a hand on her shoulder.

    “Come over here Vivian, Blake’s gonna be ok Moon and Leo are looking at her.” Erik walked her off to the side. She lifted her hands and shook them as if trying to shake out her obvious panic.

    “It was an accident I didn’t mean to.” Erik nodded silently thinking of how to respond. He knew it was an accident and wasn’t upset with Vivian even if he was worried about Blakes well-being in the current situation it was clearly an accident.

    “It’s ok Vivian I know it was an accident.” Everyones punched at least ONE person by accident! Erik watched as Vivian paced slightly. Tears were welling in her eyes and he could hear her frantically trying to calm her breathing. He grabbed her shoulders stopping her from pacing and looked her in the eyes. “Blake is going to be OK.” He did his best to reassure her.

    “What if she’s not?” She asked frantically Erik lightly rubbed her shoulders, unsure of how else to help her feel better. The question caught him off guard but he gently smiled at her.

    “She will be it’s ok. Blake is going to be ok and it was just an accident.” Unsure how else to calm the girl he wrapped in into a tight hug and held her for a minute looking in Moons direction hoping she’d had better luck with Blake. It was in the moment that Vivian ripped out of his arms and ran. Erik sighed as he watched her leave his sight. There wasn’t any point trying to chase her, she always went to the reef when she was upset and maybe the ocean was what she really needed right now. He walked back over to Moon and Blake. Giving Leo a disappointed look. As bad as it felt to have Vivian leave he was thankful to have the two people there who he could trust to help Blake.

    “Sorry Moon, I couldn’t help Viv...she’ll be ok though I think she’s going to the ocean, how is Blake?”

 
The Festival was in full swing and amongst the partiers was Pat, dressed in a fairly expensive Pirate costume. The March of the Mermaids was the biggest party of the year, and he finally got to experience it, not that he was paying much attention to it. His Uncle had decided to stay on the beach and haul his invention back to his lab and fix it up there, leaving Pat to enjoy the festivities alone. The brightness of this idea was yet to be seen. But for now, Pat was actually enjoying himself. He bobbed and weaved through the crowd, enjoying the music and sipping from a plastic cup full of hard punch.

Pat was currently looking for Kai, his best friend in the whole wide world, but was having trouble finding him. So, he reached into the pocket of his costume and pulled out his cellphone, spilling his hard punch all over his leather boots as he did. Pat let out a small swear, but quickly got over it and shot Kai a text.

"Kai where are u? :("
 

  • “Oh Blake! Vivian did you gut punch her?” Leo's voice caught her attention. She wanted to tell him it wasn't Vivian's fault, it was hers. It was all Blake's fault.
    But, she could not say anything in public. She could not show her teeth. And, right now, she knew if she tried to open her mouth, it would be puke coming out, not words.
    She felt hands touch her again and jumped slightly, but settled again when she realized it was Leo trying to comfort her.
    They were both so concerned about her, but she could not understand why. It was her fault this had happened. And now, she had caused a scene and practically vandalized an aisle of the store. How no human came upon them she did not know, but maybe they had and she just hadn't heard them.
    Blake slowly removed her arm from around her stomach again to blindly feel for her sunglasses. She had to find them so she could actually see enough to text them that she was okay, just mostly nauseous. She tried not to think about how hard it would be to text anyway with tears clouding her vision, but that would be better than nothing.
    Two more people showed up, and Blake was relieved to hear that it was Moon and Erik. But, she could not hear Vivian anymore. Had she left?
    “Sorry Moon, I couldn’t help Viv...she’ll be ok though I think she’s going to the ocean, how is Blake?”
    So, Vivian did leave, but Erik said that he couldn't help her and that she would be okay?
    Another wave of nausea rolled over her, but this one had nothing to do with being punched in the stomach.
    Had she accidentally hurt Vivian somehow? Did she hit her when she fell? Did she knock something into her? Did she scratch her with her nails when she had grabbed her arm?
    Abandoning her search for her sunglasses, Blake curled up tighter into a ball and lifted a shaky hand in a thumbs up.
    Leave me here. I deserved it. I will be okay. Go find Vivian.
    Somehow a shaky thumbs up just couldn't express what all she wanted to say.

It wasn't that she didn't think he was funny or was distracted, but the joke just flew over her head. The anxiety welling up in her chest, no matter how much she tried, she was scared he'd figure her out. What if he told everyone? What if she got her clan found out? What if they fell apart?

Kai's words brought Marisol back to the present. "Oh man, Mom is going to be disappointed, disappointment is always worse than anger, don't you think?" He asked, a goofy smile on his face that seemed to contradict his words.

"Ah...I can't say that either feel good. But I'm happy to hold these for you as long as you need! I'm sure she'll understand, today is a holiday after all." Marisol offered a warm, comforting smile. Her long blue hair fell over her shoulder, blue eyes shut as her head tilted a bit as she smiled.

As Kai's phone let out a little jingle, Marisol couldn't help but giggle a little. It was from one of those human television shows...although she couldn't remember the name. It always confused her, mostly because it involved a lot of human trivia she simply didn't know.

After he made his offer to her, Marisol straightened her back a bit. "Oh...I wasn't meeting anyone, but I would love to join you and your friend if you'd have me..." She responded, tucking a stray strand of hair behind her ear. "I'm not sure how long I'll stay...but I'd still like to see things for a bit...Let me close up a few things here, not that there's much to close up." She chuckled a bit as she began moving around the shop.

Her mind swirled with more anxiety. The previous things from before hadn't gone away, and now she'd be around so many people...hopefully she'd be able to spot one of her clan members so she could run to them if she needed help.

After a short minute, she went towards the door with her bag on her side and held it open for Kai. "I'm ready."

[div class=mainCon][div class=header]----Moonscale----[/div][div class=contentWrap][div class=scrollWrap][div class=textWrap]As Moonscale felt a surge of panic inside the shop, she ran inside, forgetting Eric entirely in her rush to get to Blake. The child was on the ground, curled up with her hand over her mouth while Leo stood beside her, his aura deeply troubled.

The poor thing was trying to hide those lovely teeth of hers...

"My poor, sweet girl," cried Moon, kneeling bedside her. "Let me help."

The Serpent laid her hands over the child's abdomen, eyes closed as she concentrated on summoning healing and positive energy. Using the Old Magick was always more taxing on land, but Moon felt only relief as her own energy flowed into the girl, soothing her restless spirit and lessening her pain.

When she could feel Blake's aura stabilize, Moon opened her eyes and let her hands travel to the girl's face. Gently, as though holding a priceless china doll, Moonscale cradled the young mermaid.

"My darling, listen to me. You have done nothing wrong, and need not hide who you are. I know the shame and fear you feel, but you are beautiful and innocent of any wrong."

It was then that Eric approached with the news of Vivian's departure, which worried Moonscale. Vivian needed the calming presence of the sea, but to be alone with her anxiety at a time like this would only consume her with sorrow.

"Thank you, Eric. I shall go after her once Blake is safe at home. Leo, I would ask that you come with me."

Turning back to Blake, Moon ran a soothing hand through the child's hair.

Atalanta raised her eyebrow at Dennis' comment about Elaine. Oh, I wonder why she would lie? She wondered. With the parade starting turned her attention to the display. Among the crowd she spotted Vivian running away in tears. I hope she's okay. She thought to herself, a slight frown forming on her face. Despite her worry there was nothing she could do right not. She over heard Elaine getting offered more drinks and turned around just in time to catch her denying to know the man. Interesting. I didn't expect this from Elaine.
The next shot was a little more to her liking. Downing it easily she relaxed a bit. While the firefighters didn't excite her what happened next certainly flustered her. A light blush covered her cheeks as Elaine placed a necklace around her neck. "Oh well thank you Elaine." She replied, leaning in close so she wouldn't have to yell. I'll have to return the favor later.
 
Dennis kept on smiling as he stood next to Luci even after the flash of the camera signaled the taking of the group selfie. He was a little surprised he was actually managing to have a good time this March of the Mermaids. Even the food seemed to taste better this year. He started to wonder if he'd be able to have this much fun at any of the other town events if he was just a little more outgoing. He quickly pushed the thought out of his head. Elaine can be the outgoing one, he was perfectly content being the reserved one who occasionally had pleasant things happen to them!

He was just about to say something to Luci about the photo when Elaine spoke up. “Hey, you should send that picture to Dennis! My phone's dead so he can send me the picture later.” Dennis thought it a little odd that Elaine would have let her phone die so early into the festivities. What if she needed to call someone? Usually she was more prepared for these sorts of things, but Dennis figured that everyone makes mistakes sometimes.

He turned to Luci, his smile still nearly as bright as it was for the photo. He had to lean a little closer to her in order for her to hear him over the partiers around them. "That sounds like a good idea to me. I'd love to have a photo souvenir. I hope I didn't end up looking too awful."

He gave a short laugh just as he noticed a girl with striking green hair rush past the group. If it wasn't for that emerald mane of hers, he probably wouldn't have noticed her at all. Dennis didn't know the girl's name, but he had seen her at the arcade before. She was the one who put him in second place on the leaderboard for Punch Buddy. He remembered seeing it happen. She was beating the tar out of poor Buddy, far harder than Dennis was ever able to manage. He thought she might actually break the game, but he was afraid to tell her to slow down lest she turn her fists on him. He had been trying ever since to get the top score back, but he still remained at second place. He really should've asked that girl's name... “Isn’t she one of the bungalow babes?” Elaine asked as the girl disappeared into the crowd ahead.

Dennis just nodded his head. "Yeah, I'm pretty sure she's one of them. Also, 'Bungalow Babes'? Is that really what we're calling them now? I guess 'Sea Sisters' isn't as catchy." There was little time to think up any new names for the mysterious women of the beach house as the next float came blasting by. This one was staffed by the town's fire department, which consisted of some of the town's most beautiful people. "Why does this town have such ridiculously sexy firefighters?" Dennis yelled over the din of cheering people. He had just accepted another jello shot being passed to him when something came flying through the air right at him.

"Eep!" he squeaked as he quickly ducked, letting the object sail right over his head. He turned backward to see what had nearly struck him, his hands still over his head. All he saw was a guy behind him proudly holding out a plastic doubloon necklace for his girlfriend, who was smiling widely and applauding his quick reflexes. Dennis frowned with embarrassment as he realized he had cowered from a cheap plastic necklace like he had been dodging a bullet.

To make matters worse, he looked to his side to see Elaine happily placing the same necklace around Atalanta's neck. “Pretty girls deserve necklaces," she said, her face beaming. Atalanta's face was beet red as she stood still and accepted Elaine's gift. He had to admit, the two of them made for an adorable picture. He could have been placing a necklace around Luci's neck the exact same way if he had been paying any attention! Wait a minute...what Elaine had said to Atalanta...was she hitting on her? Ohhh. Dennis couldn't believe he had missed it. That's why she had lied earlier about not being a lush. Elaine was trying to impress this girl, because...Wait. No time to time to think about that. He had to get a necklace too!

Dennis spread out his arms, his hand gently brushing Luci's sleeve. "Hey guys! I just remembered that I...uh, forgot something, and I'm going to go grab it real quick! Be right back!" He then turned to Finley, handing them his second jello shot. "Hold this for me please. And you're only allowed to drink half of it while I'm gone." With that, he took off from the group, trying to work his way through the crowd. If he could just get ahead of that firefighter float, he'd have another chance to catch a necklace! Then he could present it to Luci, and they could...uh...be best friends, of course.

The crowd was quite thick in areas, and Dennis had to do his best to push through, handing out plenty of "Sorry!"s and "Excuse me!"s. He had squeezed his way around a particularly large and round biker with a particularly profuse apology when his shoulder bumped right into a familiar face. "Pat! What's up, man? Fancy running into you, for the second time today." He continued to smile at Pat, but his face took on a more worried expression. "You're, uh...just here for the party, right? Not testing any crazy experiments or inventions, right? You'd tell me if you were doing anything like that, right?"

Leo
There wasn't anything Leo could do as he watched Vivian unravel as she answered his question. Leo had wanted her to own her action, however he had not anticipated the reaction she had when she was faced with it. Erik focused his attention on her so Leo focused on Blake and Moon. He could feel the aura around Blake change as mon laid her hands on her and channeled her magic. Leo admired moons magical capabilities. He could help balance energy, but that only did so much in terms of healing, Moon was on an entirely different level in comparison.
He was tempted to place a hand on moon, but he felt a slight hesitance. Touch was something he never found himself shy of, except with moon. He often times felt a spark between them, like crackling electricity, that was exhilarating, but also unfamiliar. Leo moved his hand off of Blake as Moon cradled her and soothed her, a rosy glow could be felt from them.
He glanced over to erik as he explained Vivians disappearance from the store. "I'm sorry, I believe my words may have been to blunt with her. I would be glad to accompany you moon." He said as moon addressed him. He hoped he could help fix this situation, he felt some responsibility for Vivian's internal turmoil.

Emillia
Emillia walked out of the bar with a fresh sex on the beach drink in a clear plastic cup. The streets were crowded and she leaned against the wall as she pulled out her cellphone. She had felt it buzz in the bar, but hadn't been able to check it. She held it up to her ear and tapped the button to play whatever message she'd received. Her lips pursed slightly as Clauds voice came through, but she couldn't make out the words. After a moment she shrugged and placed it back into her bag. Perhaps she would be able to respond to him later when she could actually hear his message.
 

  • “My poor, sweet girl. Let me help.”
    Was Moon talking… to her?
    Why were these people so concerned about her? She didn’t deserve it. She scared and hurt Vivian.
    Blake flinched slightly when the old serpent touched her, but when she did, for a moment, everything felt clear. It was light, it was calm, it was empty. Her pain and nausea lessened, but she could not shake her concern over Vivian. She no longer felt like she was going to throw up, but her stomach was certainly still in knots.
    She did not notice Moon remove her hand, but jumped when she touched her face. When she realized she wasn’t going to hurt her, she allowed herself to melt into her.
    Was this what having a mother was like?
    "My darling, listen to me. You have done nothing wrong, and need not hide who you are. I know the shame and fear you feel, but you are beautiful and innocent of any wrong."
    Tears began to stream down her cheeks again, smearing her mascara and eyeliner across her eyes. These were not exactly tears of sadness, but maybe of relief?
    "Thank you, Eric. I shall go after her once Blake is safe at home. Leo, I would ask that you come with me."
    Good. Someone was going to go after Vivian. She should make sure to stay out of the way.
    "Can you stand, Blake?"
    A hand ran through her pale white hair as she tried to rub away her tears and open her eyes.
    She closed them again almost immediately. Even though it was starting to get dark outside, the store was still bright with its overhead lights.
    “My sunglasses…” She mumbled in her dark voice, careful to show the least of her teeth as she could. She reached her hand across the floor once more and finally found them, relieved that they were not broken. She put them on and her stomach knotted up tighter as she opened her eyes and saw the scene around her. She had practically torn down an entire isle of the store.
    She reached for her phone and quickly typed out a message to show Moon and Erik.
    I’m so sorry. I’m fine. Please go see Vivian. Tell her I’m sorry. I’m so so sorry.

[div class=mainCon][div class=header]----Moonscale----[/div][div class=contentWrap][div class=scrollWrap][div class=textWrap] After Blake sat up and put her sunglasses one, Moonscale gently lifted the girl to her feet. While no longer in any serious pain, the child's aura was still overflowing with shame and guilt, which worried Moon immensely. She would most definitely be paying Blake a visit when all of this was done.

Blake needed someone to hold her and comfort her, to remind her that she was beautiful and valued.

As much as it pained the serpent, she knew that Vivian needed her just as much as her clan sister did. Even so, Moon gave the girl a gentle hug and murmured a soft 'I will come to you as soon as I can' into her ear before turning away and addressing Erik.

"Can you bring Blake home? She needs to get some rest, though should she desire to take part in the festivities I would ask that she remain with either you, Erik, or perhaps with some of the girls?" Then, once again addressing Blake, "I will ask that you refrain from ingesting any alcohol, tonight."
When that business was done and her heart could no longer contain itself, Moon nodded to Leo and swiftly lead the way out of the store. She had to get to Vivian, before the poor girl lost herself.

"We need to get to the water as quickly as possible," she worried aloud to her companion, who followed her at that same careful distance the two of them always maintained.

It was maddening at times, this energy that existed between them.

But now was not the time to think about that.

Vivian, Vivian, Vivian...

It was at moments such as this when Moknscale felt the most like a mother, when her heart and soul were concerned with nothing more than her children.

Marisol felt her face grow redder and redder, all the way to her ears. All of the attention and compliments Kai showered her with felt odd, Marisol not being used to the attention. Sure, her clan members were sweet and kind, but it felt different here.

"You'd make a great mermaid!"

As Marisol's mind processed Kai's words, a jolt of fear went down her spine, he wasn't onto her, was he? No way. But it may explain why he was being so nice...if he felt indebted.

Taking a second to bring herself back to reality, shaking away the paranoid thoughts, she saw him offering his necklace to her. She gingerly took it, brushing his hand with hers before pulling back once she had a grasp on the necklace.

"Thank you, Kai. I'll be sure to return this to you later. And I've never been one for dressing up, I get too embarrassed." She chuckled a bit nervously, sparkling eyes averted. She rubbed her thumb over the back of the shell, feeling the ridges and being reminded of home. Taking a moment to put the necklace on, she took a step closer to Kai as they approached the festivities.

The sound hit her like a truck, overwhelming and powerful. Humans filled the streets, cheering filling Marisol's ears. What came next hit even harder. The smell of alcohol. She could never bring herself to try it because of the smell, that and a feeling of responsibility to her clan members to make sure they were taken care of in their own hangovers.

Marisol scanned the crowd for any of her clan members, failing to spot anyone. Thus, she elected to just stay as close to Kai as she could. Her skittishness was obvious, and she knew it.

"Ah...I haven't been in a crowd this big in a while…" She mumbled, the feeling of her bare feet against the pavement of the ground feeling a familiar warmth from when the sun could see through the people and touch the ground with its bright rays of light. What wasn't familiar was the many unnatural bumps of folded confetti, not to mention the various cups, bottles, and who knows what else that had been dropped on the ground.

Fin couldn’t help but take a bit of a closer look at Atalanta’s necklace, the gold sparkling in the lights of the parade. Of course, it was likely cheaply made, but Finley knew the quality wasn’t the point of the gift. They mused at the idea of a gift for Dennis, and yet their mind was preoccupied with that green haired girl who ran by...

As Dennis ran off, leaving Finley with his shot, they couldn’t help but have a desire to go after her. Pouring the shot out, Finley took off after Vivian, taking out their phone to shoot Dennis a quick message.

F: shots gone
F: get another if u want i needed to get away real quick
F: ill pay u back
F: also im ok dw about me


Being alone when upset always bothered Finley, so they assumed Vivian would want the same. Finley was ready to be the most comforting presence ever, the coolest, calmest person they could be. So cool. So calm. Totally not internally panicking a little, not at all!

  • Erik
    Interactions: Claud, Moon, Leo, Vivian, Blake

    Erik was a bit in awe watching how Moon and Leo were able to comfort Blake. Part of him was a bit envious actually, he was never one with words.
    “I’ll make sure she gets home OK.” Erik said to Moon, he took Blake’s arm and helped her to her feet “don’t worry about the store, they’re probably already to drunk to care.” He jokes but he wasn’t entirely wrong. The store clerk had definitely been drinking on the job which really wasn’t uncommon in stores that stayed open through Crystal Coves little holidays. “Also don’t worry about Vivian I’m sure she’s gonna be ok! Moon and Leo are gonna go find her, let’s get you home.” He said calmly as he led her out to the truck. He had completely forgotten about Claud sitting out there by himself until he opened the backseat to help Blake in. He turned to his partner “Claud, this is Blake she’s one of my roommates she fell and got a bit banged up in the store so we have to take her home, sorry about taking so long and making you wait.” Erik said as he started the truck to head to the bungalow.
 
Dennis had just barely finished greeting Pat when he saw another gold necklace fly overhead. "Shite! Hey, I've got something really important to do right now," he said, scooting past Pat, carelessly jostling the drink in his hands. "We'll talk later, ok?"

Dennis continued maneuvering his way through the crowd like a mouse trying to get out of a ball pit, trying to get ahead of the firefighter float. Crystal Cove may not have had that many people living there, but it certainly seemed like it did when pretty much everyone was jammed into one spot. Apologizing profusely to an irate guy he accidentally jostled with his elbow, he finally managed to outpace the float. Now was his chance! He stuck his arm up in the air just as the firefighters opened up another bag of necklaces.

The first flew into the hands of an older woman to his right. The second, to a tall girl with incredibly long red hair down a ways to his left. Dennis prepared himself as the muscular fireman looked directly in his direction, their hand buried in the bag of plastic jewelry. His eyes focused, his muscles tensed. This was the moment. There was no mistaking the look in the firefighter's eyes. This one was coming straight to him. No way it was getting past him.

In the next moment, the firefighter lobbed the golden plastic directly towards him, just as Dennis predicted. His hands flew into the air like spring traps, open wide to catch hold of the flying loop. "Yaagh!" he yelled, hoping the cry would empower him. Another split second, and the necklace slapped against his right palm. It nearly bounced off onto the ground, but Dennis quickly flung his left hand over to grab it before it got lost in the crowd's undertow. He clutched it tightly in his hand as he smiled widely. He'd have pumped his fist if he hadn't though he'd nail the guy in front of him in the back of the head. He laughed as he placed the necklace over his own head, making sure he wouldn't drop it.

Now he just had to make his way back to the group. But now it looked like even more stragglers had joined the crowd of people, swelling it still further. Trying to force his way directly through would definitely be a dick move. He'd have to exit out the back of the street, and hope he could come out near the spot he had started. With another burst of pardon me's and excuse me's, he delicately made his way out into a back alley.

Dennis stopped for a second behind a dumpster, having gotten away from most of the crowd. He could barely believe what he had just done. Not only mustering the manual dexterity needed to catch that necklace after getting practically no sleep, but also that he had managed to get through that huge crowd without having a panic attack. Dealing with large groups of people was typically something he'd never do. At least, not when Finley and Elaine weren't around to force him to. Was this the start of a braver Dennis? He hoped not. Standing in this empty alley was a good place to let the adrenaline die down. Sure, dark alleys are a little creepy, but it's not like he's going to get accosted by some creep in a place like Crystal Cove, right?

While he was taking a little break from the excitement, he fished out his phone, noticing that he had gotten some new messages from Fin.

F: shots gone
F: get another if u want i needed to get away real quick
F: ill pay u back
F: also im ok dw about me

Dennis huffed as he texted them back.

D: Dammit Fin. I'm taking you off my will.
D: Wait, u really ok?

Dennis wouldn't have thought anything if Finley had just said they had to bail. That was normal enough. But telling him not to worry with no explanation? That did make him a little nervous. He continued to stand in the alley, his face lit up by his white screen as he texted.

D: How do I go back into the pit without my wingman

Not initially seeing Vivian, Finley pulled out their phone to respond to Dennis.

F: take me off of ur will
F: do it coward
F: yes im fine, thought i saw someone upset so i was checking on them
F: u will survive without me
F: ill be there w/ u in spirit

POP!

A small sound, loud enough to catch Finley off guard as they jumped back a bit. Glancing around, they furrowed their eyebrows as they began to search for the source of the noise. It was probably just the waves of the ocean interacting with some trash left by tourists, yet...Finley couldn’t help but doubt the idea.

And then, Finley’s eyes locked on to the small, green hue of Vivian’s mermaid form, moonlight shining upon her. Their eyes widened slightly, mouth agape in shock. That...looked exactly like Vivian…

Crouching down, they waved slightly to her, expression unmoving. “Uh...I didn’t even drink anything...Viv?”

Claud
Claud stretched out in his seat as he waited for Erik to return. His fingers tapped anxiously on the side of his door. He always struggled with letting Emillia handle herself, despite her assurances that she was fine he felt like he'd let her down or that she would be hurt in his absence and he would be responsible. He stared out the window as Erik emerged out of the store, with a girl he didn't recognize. He turned in his seat to look back at her as Erik explained who she was and flashed a smile. "My name's Claud, it's nice to meet you." he turned back forward in his seat. "Banged up? Did you take a fall Blake?" He asked curious as to what happened. He knew something happened that made them leave their patrol, Erik had said it was family issues, but he wasn't sure what he meant by that.

Leo
Leo followed moonscale, until he took the lead towards the Jeep " I agree, she took this hard and I don't want her doing anything rash while she's like this." Leo worried about all of his clan members, but Vivian was rarely one of them, and he worried that perhaps he had not paid enough attention to her well being. He pulled out the key and hit the unlock button, he sped up for a moment to reach the doors first and opened moons door for her. He always found himself humbled in her presence, even outside of it he would often see things, such as feathers or shells on the beach that would bring her to mind. He found himself being extra conscious of opening doors and sometimes thought about bringing her gifts, but he never found himself feeling as if that would be appreciated or appropriate.
 
Vivian

Vivian stared at the bigger figure she was still having trouble seeing who it was but it addressed her name so it obviously knew her.

“Yeah I’m here!” She yelled back when the figure crouched down and Vivian gave them a small wave. Vivian swam till she was close enough to clearly see who was speaking before feeezing in shock Do I even KNOW this person?! How did they know my name?!

“Who are you? How do you know my name?” Vivian half asked and half demanded, it was too late to pretend she wasn’t also the human girl with green hair, this person had somehow already recognized her. They were pretty familiar but Vivian couldn’t quite put her finger on where she knew them from.
SpectrumCrow SpectrumCrow
 

  • “Also don’t worry about Vivian I’m sure she’s gonna be ok! Moon and Leo are gonna go find her."
    Good, good. They were going to get Vivian. That was what mattered.
    "Let’s get you home.”
    Home. A smile twitched at her lips for just a brief second. It was a nice word. Unfamiliar, yet comforting.
    She had a home. She had a family again. They weren't blaming her or afraid of her. They were helping her, comforting her.
    It was a strange, strange feeling, but one that Blake hoped she would become accustomed to.
    She let Erik guide her out of the shop toward the truck. Even though the sun was just beginning to set, a few moths were already starting to hover around her. One landed on the end of her sunglasses as she Erik opened the back door for her and she climbed in. It was only after she was in did she realize she was not alone.
    “Claud, this is Blake she’s one of my roommates she fell and got a bit banged up in the store so we have to take her home, sorry about taking so long and making you wait.”
    A human.
    She was in the car alone with a human.
    She frantically turned to Erik to try to get her to leave, but he had already closed the door and was walking around to the driver's side.
    "My name's Claud, it's nice to meet you."
    Oh god, the human was talking to her. That didn't happen a lot. Usually the townspeople just averted their eyes and kept walking. Even her coworkers at the shelter barely said anything to her unless necessary. And they always seemed like they needed to draw strength from others by forming a group when every it was deemed necessary to speak to her.
    Yet, here he was. Just kindly speaking to her. Like she wasn't a monster.
    This was a weird day.
    "Banged up? Did you take a fall Blake?"
    She tried to nod her reply, but he already turned away to face forward again. Would it be rude if she just let it go and didn't try to reply? This was Erik's coworker, she couldn't be rude to him. Oh, but what if he didn't actually want to talk to her? Would she hurt his feelings if she didn't do anything? Would he know that she doesn't speak?
    She watched as one of her moths fluttered down to the phone in her hand and called from it onto the back of her hand.
    Sure, okay, she could write out her reply. She did that with the people at work. Would that be weird here too?
    It is nice to meet you, too! She typed out hesitantly before erasing it and starting again.
    Nice to meet you. Yes, I fell on an aisle.
    Satisfied with her message, she reached out so that the phone was in front of him and he was able to read it. The moth moved to her wrist as she did so as though just trying to find a comfortable spot.

[div class=mainCon][div class=header]----Moonscale----[/div][div class=contentWrap][div class=scrollWrap][div class=textWrap] Moon gave Leo a small smile of gratitude when he opened the door for her. He was always so sweet, and reminded her of the way human men had been before this modern age. Of course, they'd been just as cruel to nature, and at times each other, but there had been a higher level of respect towards one another in situations such as these.

They drove in such a way that Moonscale was certain Erik would be displeased, but she honestly could not be bothered to mind. What mattered was that they reached the sea far quicker than they woukd have at a legal speed.

The moment the vehicle stopped, the serpant jumped out and let her eyes and senses sweep over the beach. She could feel Viviane, confused, and a little startled.

And a human.

"Viviane may have just been seen by a human!" She told Leo with wide, worried eyes.

They ran towards the sea, and Moon saw the green-haired human by the water, aura puzzled. This was bad, extremely bad.[/div][div class=footer]

D: ok then, see you later

Dennis sighed quietly as he put his phone back in his pocket. Of course, it was just like Finley to just drop everything because they saw someone that might be upset in the middle of a huge crowd. Fin was so kind, that was one of the reasons that Dennis liked them so much, though he couldn't help but find himself wishing they were a little less kind in this instance.

He bounced the necklace in his hand, listening the jingling of the small beads that made it up. He had fought through a sea of people to get this thing, and for what? Finley was gone and he had no idea where they were. Knowing them, they could be halfway across town by now. Elaine had no need for a necklace, of course, having already had her moment of presenting one to Atalanta. Dennis might not have been the most observant when it came to...romantic matters, but even he was able to realize that Elaine seemed to be pretty attracted to that girl. He hadn't really been able to tell until she had put that necklace around Atalanta's neck. No sense returning to those two, he'd just be a third wheel. He doubted they'd still be where he left them anyway. They had probably left for somewhere more quiet to make out or look at fish or something.

He thought idly for a moment about just joining the crowd by himself, but he quickly waved that thought away. Crowds were not his thing, and he had seen this parade a dozen times. It's not like there was anything in the parade itself that would keep his attention. Oh well. He figured he might as well head out. There was still a Donkey Kong PB to get, after all. He laughed a bit to himself as he put the necklace around his own neck. He pulled his earbuds out of his pocket, plugging them back into his phone and placing the speakers in both ears. He left the alleyway as he flipped through his Spotify, selecting "Run Away With Me" by Carly Rae Jepsen. He walked down the empty street as music played from his earbuds.

He had been walking for just a moment when he stopped suddenly. He looked up and down, left and right, making sure the street was truly empty. Convinced that it indeed was, he began singing aloud. "Baby, every, single, minute, I'll be your hero and win it!" He sang loudly, trusting that the nearby festivities would drown out his voice as he headed back to the arcade.

“Uh...I’m Finley. Friends with Dennis? Spend way too much time at the arcade…” They chuckled, albeit nervously. Deciding they’d be here for a bit, they made sure they wouldn’t crush anything - including Vivian - as they sat down on the sand.

“Considering the fact that I’m not intoxicated under any circumstances and that this is too odd to be a dream...I’d put my money on you being a mermaid...hm...Never would have thought of that. I spend so much time reading and researching the mythology of things, but actually meeting one seems so unrealistic...yet here we are.” Finley mused, mostly talking to themself. “Well, I won’t tell anyone.”

Shifting in the sand slightly, they continued. “So...about what I came here for. Are you okay? I saw you run off earlier and you seemed upset…”

    Interactions: Claud, Blake, Gill
    Whirlawind23 Whirlawind23 Shame Shame


    While Erik normally wasn’t a fan of his clans members interacting with humans too much, he had to admit this seemed good for Blake. She clearly needed someone to help her feel more relaxed. Erik drove silently to the bungalow allowing his two passengers to talk. It was nice seeing a human not judge or be harsh to Blake for once. They pulled up to the bungalow when the radio came on

    “Uuum sir we have a disturbance at the beach, it seems there’s a naked confused man scaring people. Could you please go check it out?” Erik groaned The druggies always come out during these festivals. Erik picked up the mic “You got it I am enroute.” He set the mic back down and turned to Blake and Claude “So if you guys want to meet a naked drunk guy your more than welcome to come, or you can hang back here while I handle this. It’s not even a minute down the road and I’ll be right back.” He explained before getting back in the truck and heading towards where the nudist had been spotted. He could’ve walked there but he wasn’t about to walk a naked guy back to the bungalow.

    “That’s him...” Erik mumbles to himself as he parked close by and walked over to the guy. Erik pulled off his jacket to give him something to cover up. “Hey man you can’t be walking around naked, I’m sure you don’t have an ID on you since you have no pockets...I hope. Let me just take you home so you can sleep this off.” Erik said calmly as he placed the jacket around the mans shoulders. Erik walked him towards the car till the headlights illuminated the mans face. He looked incredibly familiar but Erik couldn’t put a finger on where he’d seen him before. He stopped and looked at the man. “You look really familiar...have we met before?”

Marisol couldn’t help but laugh a little, putting her hand over her mouth as her eyes shut and cheeks rose with a smile. “If you insist...but you really don’t have to. I wouldn’t ask you to embarrass yourself just to make me feel better.” She smiled warmly, tucking a stray piece of blue hair behind her ear.

This Kai human was being so kind to her, so genuinely sweet. It took Marisol off guard. Sure, most of her human interactions were pleasant and nice, but nothing this kind. She had made it a point to not get close to humans, yet Kai...he was an exception. She’d allow herself to drop her guard around him in some ways, but raise it in others. He didn’t even know she had saved him, which completely boggled her mind.

Before she could register what was happening, she felt an arm wrap around her and pull her close. For a moment, she felt her instincts kick in, causing her heart to race and fear to set in. But as soon as she pulled her head back a little, seeing Kai’s messy hair so close to her, stormy eyes staring at her so intently...she immediately calmed.

"Uh, I- Sorry about that. You were- You were going to fall and I didn't, well I didn't want you to get stepped on or... or worse... Sorry...sorry.” His voice sounded so nervous...was he just as nervous as she was?

“N-no...you don’t need to apologize. I appreciate...the thought.” Marisol felt her own face grow warm and red, eyes fluttering, like a deer in headlights. “It was very kind of you. So, um, thank you” She placed a hand over the bridge of her nose in an attempt to hide her flushing face. It took her a moment to completely process where she was before she jumped slightly and scrambled off.

“Ah...now it’s my turn to apologize, isn’t it?”

Finley frowned slightly, resting their other hand against their cheek as they listened to Vivian talk. “Yeah...that makes sense...outsider’s opinion and all. Not to meddle, but it’s human-- I mean...normal -- to hurt people you care about. Not that it’s okay...but sometimes we mess up and we just have to own up to it and do better.” As they spoke, they furrowed their brow in thought and held Viv closer, trying not to be weird about the whole mermaid thing.

“Wait, there are more of you?” Finley asked, tilting their head before a small pause. “...Oh. That would explain the bungalow babes, I guess. Anyways, meeting tomorrow sounds nice, Vivian.” They smiled, setting Viv back down into the shallow parts of the water before standing up again. “Arcade. See ya there.”

Just as quickly as they had arrived, they left.
