[ There was a room that led to a seaside castle. Said castle had everything royalty would need, want, and unlike the real thing all they would have to do is voice it out.

If someone would go to the shore, though, they would see an unconscious mermaid, and a closed music box to the right. Amazing what the dressing room would grant these days, huh? ]

[That was not who she was looking for. but hello, unconscious mermaid, you have a worried fellow-mommy kneeling down beside you to shake your shoulder.]

Are you alright?

[inclined.livejournal.com]

[ A groan. Ouch that pirate ship was painful to the back -- and she looked up towards Terra. No, she hasn't seen that she has legs yet. ]

[notyourmommy.livejournal.com]

Oh good, you're awake.

[Gives her a smile.]

[inclined.livejournal.com]

[ After a moment -- ] Thank you.

[ There's a smile, and then... legs. ] You're... You're human.

[notyourmommy.livejournal.com]

Yes... but a nice one, I promise.

[inclined.livejournal.com]

[ A pause. She looks at herself first, and then back towards Terra. ]

I believe you.

[notyourmommy.livejournal.com]

[Smiles at that.]

Can I get you anything?

[silencedsong.livejournal.com]

[...!]

[inclined.livejournal.com]

[ Isn't the music box begging to be opened? Kukuku -- ]

[silencedsong.livejournal.com]

[...well yes, but. Hang on, she's hurrying down to the shoreline so that she can shake her shoulder. :<]

[inclined.livejournal.com]

[ Waking up nnn... She looks towards Ariel. Is there a mirror around here. |: ]

[silencedsong.livejournal.com]

[Mooooom. 8( If it helps the mirror thing, she's totally wearing a dress like the one from the end of the movie.]

[inclined.livejournal.com]

[ .. Yes it does. Aah who is this -- but she hazards a guess. ]

Ariel...?

[silencedsong.livejournal.com]

[Nods! And mouths 'Mom?']

[inclined.livejournal.com]

[ Moves her hands to cup her daughters face, then it moves on her shoulders, and then -- where did those legs come from. ]

You're so big... and you have legs.

[silencedsong.livejournal.com]

[...awkward grin. Yeah, about that--]

[inclined.livejournal.com]

[ She's curious why she's alive, why she's in the future apparently, but daughter first. ] You can tell me, you know.

[silencedsong.livejournal.com]

[...small frown, and she gestures to her throat, shaking her head. She has paper, normally, but she didn't bring it with her.]

[inclined.livejournal.com]

[ ........... The fuck did Mommythena miss while she was dead. B|! It saddens her, you know, because she loved hearing her daughters sing. ]

We need to talk to your father about this.

[silencedsong.livejournal.com]

[How would Mommythena react to "So there's this boy..."

... oh god, why. It's probably a good thing she can't tell her that she doesn't think he's here. There's a half-shrug, though; her way of saying "It's okay, really."]

[inclined.livejournal.com]

[ 'How romantic........'

She shook her head. ] You lost your voice, Ariel. This isn't okay. How are you fine with it?

[silencedsong.livejournal.com]

[...points to her feet. It was worth it, for Eric 8<]

[inclined.livejournal.com]

... And how, exactly, did you gain your feet?

[silencedsong.livejournal.com]

["SO YOU KNOW YOUR CRAZY SISTER IN LAW..."

Not that she'd say that, though. Thiiiis face, Athena? :D]

[inclined.livejournal.com]

[ Yes she does. She was there when she was banished -- headtilt. You're getting her worried. ]

Please tell me, somehow.

[silencedsong.livejournal.com]

[See this? This is the face of a girl who knows she's in trouble. Looks down and fidgets a bit, before writing "URSULA" in the sand.]

[inclined.livejournal.com]

[ .....................





Unlike her father, Athena just looked disappointed. ] Was this all because you wanted legs, to stay in the human world?

[silencedsong.livejournal.com]

[No mom no that's even worse ;;

...shakes her head. That was part of the reason, but not the main one.]

[inclined.livejournal.com]

[ She's wondering how Triton handled the girls without her -- ] Well, I can wait. You can tell me when you're ready instead, alright?

[ Hand on her shoulder, she squeezes. ] You could have just asked your father, you know. He would have thought long and hard, but made the right decision.

[notloseheragain.livejournal.com]

[Indeed. A mermaid...

... man, why does he keep finding people-- merpeople-- on shores.]

[inclined.livejournal.com]

[ Because this one was originally dead.

Is he going to wake her up? ]

[notloseheragain.livejournal.com]

[... she even looks like Ariel. He kneels down and tries shaking her shoulders a little.]

Ma'am, are you alright?

[inclined.livejournal.com]

[ After that, she wakes up just a bit -- man that isn't her Red. Looks down -- legs. Ohgod. ]

Hello. [ Slight panic? Yes. ]

[notloseheragain.livejournal.com]

Hey. It's all right, I'm... used to mermaids. I'm not going to hurt you.

[inclined.livejournal.com]

[ There's a long pause there, and somehow the music box magically opens -- and started playing (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtdxzLI-1zU). She immediately swipes it, and closes it. ]

Used to mermaids... Really now?

[notloseheragain.livejournal.com]

I know it's strange, but please, you can trust me! I'm... friends with one!

[Correction; in love with one :c]

[inclined.livejournal.com]

[ There's the saying that A Mother Always Knows, and right now, with the tone of his voice... Hm. ]

How did you meet your friend?

[notloseheragain.livejournal.com]

... just like this, actually. I found her on the shore.

[inclined.livejournal.com]

[ Hnn -- sigh. ] My name is Athena. What's yours?

[notloseheragain.livejournal.com]

I'm Eric. Are you feeling alright?

[inclined.livejournal.com]

... Much better.

[ She's alive, that's all there is to it, she thinks. ] You can say I woke up form a horrible dream.

[star-shells.livejournal.com]

[Having been exploring, she walked along the beach after checking out that castle. Starts in surprise at seeing someone -- let alone a mermaid -- on the beach like that and runs over to crouch down. Gingerly moves to shake her shoulder.]

Ah-- are you okay?

[inclined.livejournal.com]

[ That's a more efficient wake up call at least. It took her a shorter amount of time -- ]

... I think so. [ And she raises her hand to inspect. She was supposed to be dead. ]

[star-shells.livejournal.com]

[She doesn't look hurt at least. Gives a soft sound of relief.] Good.. [Glances, only now seeing the music box. Tips her head, mostly just looking it over. Smiles faintly then and directs her attention back to the mermaid.] I'm glad you aren't hurt!

[inclined.livejournal.com]

[ she's reminded of Ariel, by the looks. Good job, Kairi. ] Thank you. I'm sorry for the trouble.

/see's her being a mommy figure for kairi cause she had none growing up

[star-shells.livejournal.com]

It's no trouble at all Ma'm! [Smiled a little brighter, but she's not sure what to do. Help her back into the water? Thinks a moment, then pulls her shoes off and sets them aside, rolling her pants up. She's taken to wearing training clothing more often than her pink dress since it's warmer.] Do you need any help getting out far enough?
