@silverfates // closed starter for Lo;
Why do things keep getting awkward in this place... In front of him was an ex-Aqua member somehow.
"...Hi."
Well. He did say he misses Aqua's family feel, but... he'd never reboot the team. Nuh-uh. Not even when he misses it a lot. It was wrong to do in the first place. "What a coincidence, huh? Bet ya didn't expect t' run into me here." Neither did he expect to run into Lo, but still. "Guess the merfolk secret is out, hmm?"
"Ya wanna know 'bout merfolk?"
Well, colour him surprised. This was the first person besides Plumeria who'd asked besides just pointing out the fish tail.
"Heh, that's a lo' o' questions. But I don't mind sharin' 's long as ya keep it on the down low."
He leans back a bit, grinning. "I think ya have t'be born one, yeah. Unless ya find a sea witch maybe? But that's really hard for a human anyway. There's more 'round Alola, yeah. And I do have pretty cool powers, but I can't do most o' 'em righ' now 'cause it takes energy I don' have."
-✖
Really? Not many people questioned him? Apparently, certain people don't share Cataleya's adventurous curiosity in the face of such things.
"Well... Can you tell me about merfolk? Do you have to be born one? Do more live around Alola? My mom used to tell me stories that my gramma told her, but they were pretty vague. Do you have any cool powers?" she asks, words coming out quite fast in her excitement.
humans: what is my muse’s view on humans? do they like them? fear them? indifferent toward them?
for the merfolk…
"Love 'em." A grin as he shifts on the bed, hands behind his head as he rests against the headboard. "They're just so... What's the word. Silly? Goofy? Fuckin' wild? They have all these crazy inventions--" A frown. "Some of them I do hate, I must say. Who the fuck thought beds 're comfortable. Who invented cars. Who invented gluten." He just wants to talk.
"They're also a lo' friendlier than the creatures in the depths. At least most humans don't stab first and ask questions later, yanno?"
"I jus' wanna ask ya somethin'... I can't even really like. Leave this thing. Promise."
Yeah okay he has a feeling he's kinda fucked now.
BESTIES WHY THE FUCK IS FORMER LEADER OF TEAM AQUA ARCHIE IN PLUMERIA'S BATHTUB. WHY IS HE A FISH. WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!!!!
" no thanks sorry"
"I am wearin' it, yeaAAAAHHH--"
"MATE THAT'S NO' THE SPEED LIMIT--"
Okay why did he agree to join this person in this vehicle of death. He's regretting it so badly right now. People can probably hear him scream from streets away at this point.
"I'LL WALK--"
Vicious just grinned and he settled into the driver's seat and started the vehicle. "Glad to hear we are understanding each other. Do make sure your seatbelt is on." It was a fair warning in his books before the car sped off, he was driving way faster than he should, he had no issue driving at that speed, and he was used to out-running cops nd whatnot. He wondered how much his new companion would freak out if he admitted he was half blind.
"Heh." This guy's got some bite to him. He could appreciate that. If he weren't so annoying right now, that was.
"Ya call her Plumes?" That's a cute nickname. Though she introduced herself as Plumeria to him specifically, so maybe he will stick to that for now... But hey, a win is a win! Seems like he's not kicked out just yet.
"...Refresh me on the H2O rules, will ya? It's not a weird sea witch curse, though."
Yeah he watched these what about it. It's funny to see what humans come up with sometimes. Also he just really enjoyed them but he's not gonna admit that right now.
Welp. Still a shitty reaction. It's not like Guzma expected the other to shake in his non-existent boots ( what the fuck do fishes even know anyway??? ), but. Man. That's cold.
"Eh. Not feelin' like it." a squint, as he crosses his arms "For now. After all, you're right. Destroyin' some fish would just be unfair and boring."
Oh, he understood the unsaid meaning of those words, loud and clear -- and that's why he returned the same attitude. Two of us can play this game. Fuck you.
sheesh. What's up with the tension my guys.
"But, whatever. Plumes wants ya here, so guess ya gotta stay here." …another moment of silence. "…d'ya work with Little Mermaid rules or H2O rules. Cause if ya magically fish up when ya touch water we're gonna need one hell of an umbrella later."
"I don' really like flyin' either."
Okay, he slowed down a tad. Still going waaaay too fast for his liking though.
"Why do we need to get to the malasada shop this fast??? Ya worried they're running out o' them???"
Vicious let out a chuckle at that.
"You know we get there faster if we speed, right? Besides, I'm a good driver, never crashed or hit anything."
At the I'll walk comment he did slow down a bit, taking some pity on his company. "Better? If you prefer I can lend you Coviknight for you to ride."
