Not Quite Usual

[clockworkboytoy.livejournal.com]

[This young Replica is standing wet and naked in the laundry room, kicking at one of the washing machines. It was trying to do laundry, but has failed against the might of the washing machine, which is rumbling ominously.]

Give me back my clothes, you stupid thing!

[This Sora is probably one of the worst people to try and help you. A, he doesn't know wtf that . . . Thing is. B, he's about to break into song.]

To conquer beasts I'm often told
it's best to hit the head.
Perhaps, young ser, it would be best
to find a pipe of lead?

*blinks at the singing and turns to look at you*

... you think there's something wrong with the pipes?

[gaymermanheart.livejournal.com]

[sighs and shakes his head. He's trying to say that you should hit it with something heavy! In his own convoluted way. Concentrates and manages to say something that's almost not a song.]

Maybe a weapon would calm it.

[clockworkboytoy.livejournal.com]

Oh! You mean hit it really hard!

*is enthused by the prospect of violence*

[gaymermanheart.livejournal.com]

[enthusiastic nodding! Not because he like violence, but because you understood. Nevermind the fact that hitting it harder is probably going to make the situation worse.]

Yes!

[clockworkboytoy.livejournal.com]

*it doesn't think its blade would be appropriate against a washing machine, so it looks around and happens to find a nice length of pipe*

Stand back!

*and it swings!*
*CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!*

[He's used to loud noises because nothing up here is quite as loud as it seems underwater. Though he does duck out of the doorway because getting wet might not turn out well. And something tells him there will be lots of wet.]

[clockworkboytoy.livejournal.com]

*you are correct; the washing machine makes a sound not unlike a roar, and suddenly a torrent of water sprays out, drenching everything in its path*

AUGH!

[gaymermanheart.livejournal.com]

[Did not quite escape and is now sitting (lying?) on the floor slightly dumbfounded because he's not a human anymore. Ooops, maybe the hitting the thing wasn't such a good idea.]

. . . That is. Not the best thing to ever happen.

[clockworkboytoy.livejournal.com]

*turns to you, then stares*

You're a fish!

[gaymermanheart.livejournal.com]

[The only reason he's not changing back is because the floor's all wet and he can't get up. Flops over so he's lying on his chest.]

Not a fish! I'm a merman, there a difference because I can eat sharks.

sleep for me~ pick up tomorrow?

[clockworkboytoy.livejournal.com]

*yeah it ignored most of what you said*

I met someone who is a fish like you. She said the magic water turned her into one.

Sure. :)

[gaymermanheart.livejournal.com]

[He has six sisters, he's used to not being listened to.]

No. I used to be like this all the time, but then I made a deal with a seawitch to come abovesea. She gave me legs, but only when I'm dry and when I've got legs, I sing. All the time.

[gets the feeling you totally aren't paying attention but says it anyways.]

[clockworkboytoy.livejournal.com]

*it doesn't understand all of that*

... so you were a fish first, then a person? It was the opposite way with the girl I met.

[gaymermanheart.livejournal.com]

[well at least he didn't have to explain it in song this time. just nods because that's easier.]

You could say that.

[clockworkboytoy.livejournal.com]

*sits down beside you on the floor*

Do you come from the Atlantica place, too?

[gaymermanheart.livejournal.com]

[shakes head.] I come from a city called Atlantis. At least, I think that's what the abovesea people call it. We just call it Pacifica.

[clockworkboytoy.livejournal.com]

Oh.

*looks at your tail and wants to touch it*

You won't be able to walk now, right?

[gaymermanheart.livejournal.com]

[nods] If I were dry, I'd change back. [is actually just being lazy and not moving off the wet]

[clockworkboytoy.livejournal.com]

Oh. Because I could carry you somewhere, if you wanted to stay a fish.

[gaymermanheart.livejournal.com]

That would be nice? You don't have to though, you can just put me over there. [vague motion to an area that isn't waterlogged]

[clockworkboytoy.livejournal.com]

I'm strong. Do you want to go to the place with the magic water? The Riku-girl I met said it was nice to swim in and really big.

[gaymermanheart.livejournal.com]

[does not even know what that means but that sounds like of awesome so nods]

That sounds awesome.

[clockworkboytoy.livejournal.com]

Okay.

*it stands up, then looks down*

... I still don't have my clothes.

[gaymermanheart.livejournal.com]

[Oh. He just thought you liked being naked.]

Where are your clothes?
