[THE BOAT IS SINKING OH GODS THE BOAT IS SINKING WHY IS IT SINKING

cue one (1) girl frantically trying to bail the water out with a bucket which is... entirely ineffective. dammit, this was supposed to be a quick fishing trip, not whatever the hell this is!!

eventually she's left flailing in the water, desperately trying to keep herself afloat. wearing heavy clothing wasn't a very good idea, in retrospect, plus her boots are weighing her down. so the trying to stay afloat thing isn't really working out.

shit shit shit fuck fuck shit fuck she's gonna drown!!]

A-aahh- fuck fuck fuckflhgh- [whoops down she goes beneath the rolling waves.]

You know, that feeling could potentially be head trauma if you've hit it on a plank on the way down!

[ anyway land is in sight, MAKING BEELINE FOR. ]

[shipwrecking]

The only thing I hit my head on was the... uh, plank of love.

[yep, def something wrong.]

[sisfists]

Maybe it'll get fixed if I hit you again...?

[shipwrecking]

You're the violent type, huh...

[hot i mean what]

[sisfists]

I did also save your life just now, if you'll recall.

[ buuut not denying it. ]

[shipwrecking]

And for that, I'll always be in your debt.

[kyaa kyaa mermaid etc.]

[sisfists]

[ actually maybe she could use this. ]

... In that case, there is one small favor I'd like to ask you.

[shipwrecking]

Anything! I'll do anything you ask of me!

[sisfists]

... Please don't tell anyone you saw me, okay?

[shipwrecking]

[oh. right. she'd been told plenty of tales about mermaids, how men drag them back onto land and exhibit them like zoo animals once they're revealed. no no no no that's definitely not going to happen to this one.]

Promise! You have my word, Miss Ichirin.

[hugging tightly...!]

... But I can still see you after this, can't I?

[sisfists]

[ the word of a human... it probably didn't mean much. this one seemed to be harmless enough, but it was still best to be cautious.

trying to fight down curiosity and be prudent! ]

You do know that would entail more risk on my part, right?

[shipwrecking]

You won't have to risk anything! I'll- I'll sail out to the farthest corners of the sea if that's what it'll take!

[is this ~romantic~ yet]

[sisfists]

Well, I suppose that would make it safer for me...

[ okay that is pretty thoughtful.

... but she's still more curious about land. ]

[shipwrecking]

Yeah! We can make this work...!

[weeeeh weh weh]

[sisfists]

You're not scared about going out to sea again, after this?

[ she slows as she nears shore--a sea cliff might hide her. heading towards. ]

[shipwrecking]

Not if it means I can see you again.

[~~~~smooth~~~~]

[sisfists]

You don't have to be flatter me that much...

[ dumb!!... but it works. she lowers her blush half-submerged into the water, glub glub. ]

[shipwrecking]

I can't help it! Though is it working?

[looks like it is!! victory?!]

[sisfists]

Absolutely not.

[ ... tugging Murasa briefly into the water for a facedunk. not immature at all~ ]

[shipwrecking]

[GLUB GLUHGLBH

flailing and

pulling at Ichirin's top

whoops??]

[sisfists]

[ W H Y. at least it's not shellbra but it's not as conservative as kimono either.

enjoy flash of cleavage as she panickedly yanks Murasa up. ]

[shipwrecking]

[hell yea]

-You can't drown me right after I confessed my love for you!

[sisfists]

D... don't say it like that, you're making me sound like a villain.

It's not serious drowning, anyway!

[shipwrecking]

[where are Murasa's eyes going]

So you're into that sorta stuff? Sure, I can roll with it.

[??????]

[sisfists]

I won't deny that there are more than a few of us who make a hobby out of luring your kind into reefs and dragging you under. Would you like to find out if I'm one of them?

[ bluffing~

maybe. ]
