004 - [Video - backdated to Monday]

[dontyoujustwish]

[The camera pans down a long, red-gold fish tail lying atop a messy bed before flipping around to show Anya, looking rather annoyed.]

I don't know why that one cartoon mermaid wanted legs when she lived in the ocean, but I could certainly use some now. This is beyond inconvenient and I'm not even sure how I'm going to go to the bathroom much less leave the apartment.

If we were going to be changed into different species, I don't see why demon wasn't an option.

Comments

[croceamors]

They seem to be going for an animal theme.

[Don't mind if he sounds a little more tired than usual, Anya.]

Do you need to be dumped in a pond?

voice;

[dontyoujustwish]

Preferably something larger than a pond.

What did you get stuck with?

voice;

[croceamors]

It's not important. The ocean, then?

voice;

[dontyoujustwish]

I'll just find out when I see you.

The ocean sounds fine.

voice;

[croceamors]

Where do you live?

voice;

[dontyoujustwish]

Larmline 301. It's the same building as that boy.

voice; - action

[croceamors]

Alright.

[Just a moment later, and there's a knock at her door. From the inside, of course. Portals sure are useful! Except he'd forgotten for just a moment that he probably shouldn't do things like that after a recent event, so he'll be rubbing his chest as he makes his way through her apartment until he finds her bedroom. Also? Hood, up, shadows covering his face. No one is seeing anything if he can help it.]

There you are.

action

[dontyoujustwish]

[Yep, just lying in bed in her mermaid tail and bra. She raises an eyebrow at him.]

Here I am immobilized from being half-fish, and you're the one that's so embarrassed you can't even show your face?

action

[croceamors]

Shouldn't you be a bit more thankful that I'm making this trip at all? Besides, they were annoying me.

action

[dontyoujustwish]

I helped you out before. The way I see it, this is you returning the favor.

action

[croceamors]

[Fair enough, since she can remember it, and Saix won't spend much time arguing about something like that.]

Fine. [He strides over and starts to slide one hand underneath her tail with his other steady at her back, without much warning.]

action

[dontyoujustwish]

Woah-

[She's obviously startled by his abruptness, but doesn't really protest since it is what he came over for.]

I hope you aren't this sudden in the bedroom. Well, for sex, I mean, I guess we are in the bedroom.

action

[croceamors]

...I'm not going to answer that, since it has no relevance to this situation at all. Not to mention that seems like that would be difficult for you right now considering your new attachment.

action

[dontyoujustwish]

You're inexperienced, so I'll forgive you for not thinking creatively.

action

[croceamors]

...Let's stop talking about this and just get you into the water.

action

[dontyoujustwish]

If you insist.

[She'll just drape an arm across his shoulders so she can hang on. She would be in a perfect position to yank down that hood, but she'll respect his desire to hide in it.

At least while he's carrying her because she doesn't want to be dropped.]

action

[croceamors]

[Good plan, because boy would he not hesitate to do it.]

[Another Corridor is opened, leading right to the beach on the island. He's at least thinking considerately enough to have opened it somewhere sandy instead of rocky. Then again, it's also more likely just common sense- you don't piss off someone who tells you they're a vengeance demon.]

Do you think you can make it if I just put you in from here?

action

[dontyoujustwish]

[Sigh.]

If I must. I suppose you don't want to get your only set of clothing wet.

action

[croceamors]

I have other sets of clothing, thank you.

[A disgruntled sigh before he strides forward to the water's edge. He goes a few steps in, not letting it go anywhere near to the tops of his boots, and sets her down.]

There.

action

[dontyoujustwish]

You do wear that coat a lot.

[Well, at least she's in a little bit of water. She uses her arms to wriggle back until she's deep enough to try using the tail.

Sorry if she splashes you there, Saix, she's never had one of these before.]

action

[croceamors]

It's for safety purpos-

[Aaaaand, that is sea water right in his face. Saix starts to wipe his face. You can be assured that he is scowling beneath his hood.]

action

[dontyoujustwish]

[Hey, she thinks she's getting the hang of this. A little awkwardly, Anya swims her way into deeper water and manages to turn around to look at Saix.]

What was that?

Oh, sorry, did I splash you?

action

[croceamors]

Somewhat. Can you handle yourself?

action

[dontyoujustwish]

Yes, I think I'm good to go. Thank you.

action

[croceamors]

You know how to contact me if a shark attempts to eat you.

[He opens up another portal, ready to leave.]
