004 - [Video - backdated to Monday]

[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.

[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.]

action

[dontyoujustwish]

Sure you don't care to join me?

action

[croceamors]

I'm not exactly dress for water.

action

[dontyoujustwish]

So get undressed. It's a simple solution.

action

[croceamors]

...Are you just trying to get my clothes off?

action

[dontyoujustwish]

Is that a problem?

action

[croceamors]

Just to make things perfectly clear, I wouldn't do anything sexual with you. Barry was simply to test something.

action

[dontyoujustwish]

I thought you enjoyed it.

action

[croceamors]

I did. I just don't see a reason to do it so much. Besides, I recently went through with something... taxing. I'm trying not to exert myself too much.

action

[dontyoujustwish]

Something taxing - that wasn't thanks to these curses?

action

[croceamors]

It was a personal issue. It's been... partially taken care off.

action

[dontyoujustwish]

Does this have anything to do with your missing heart?

action

[croceamors]

...Yes.

action

[dontyoujustwish]

You know, if you got it back, then I think you're doing remarkably well. I've seen that sort of thing drive people insane.

action

[croceamors]

That doesn't sound surprising. However, it seems to be a more... gradual process than something that happens all at once.

action

[dontyoujustwish]

I guess the sex didn't really help that along.

Re: action

[croceamors]

It wasn't particularly surprising to learn that. Still, it wasn't unpleasant. It also means Barry is something of an ally, although I don't expect him to be one of the best.

action

[dontyoujustwish]

Why do you say that?
