Fake 12 [Action]

[personafalsify]

[ In the lake south of the village, there is a commotion today. What sort of commotion? A small, dark creature is wading out into the shallows where it struggles and flails and splashes a lot. After a while it manages to make its way back to shore. There it waits for a little, shaking off the water and gathering energy back again, before repeating this whole process once more.

Repliku is trying to relearn swimming. It is not going well. ]

[ ...

Uh.

Alright then.

Slooowly wading back in to try swimming some more. ]

[mermaidofnoel.livejournal.com]

[Peeeeks. What is it doing?]

[personafalsify.livejournal.com]

[ Swimming. See? This is totally swimming.

... Except for the part where it's not. SIGH. Heartless are like, exactly built to not swim. Their limbs are wiry and move in odd ways 8(

Dragging himself back to shore, and when he gets there, he turns to see if the person is there again. ]

[She is! In fact, her head is halfway out the water, enough to reveal her eyes and pink hair.]

[personafalsify.livejournal.com]

[ So (s)he is still there. ... Alright. Are you just going to watch him try to swim some more?

Well, for now he's drying off, anyway... ]

[mermaidofnoel.livejournal.com]

[Yes, yes she is. Her ears twitch lightly as she looks at him though, trying to figure out what he is exactly.]

[personafalsify.livejournal.com]

[ And he just kinda watches for a bit. He doesn't know what you are, either... ]

[mermaidofnoel.livejournal.com]

[This may take a while.]

[personafalsify.livejournal.com]

[ ... Well he's going to wade back into the water now. ]

[mermaidofnoel.livejournal.com]

[She won't move from her position this time, just looking curiously.]

[personafalsify.livejournal.com]

[ And surprise! He is going to fail just as much as he had every time before. splashsplashflailflail ]

[mermaidofnoel.livejournal.com]

[... Swimming over to ya then. Let's seee~]

[personafalsify.livejournal.com]

[ And because he's concentrating on not drow-... swimming, he doesn't notice her. ]

[mermaidofnoel.livejournal.com]

[Well, you'll have to notice her now, because she's right in front of you, derpliku!]

[personafalsify.livejournal.com]

[ ASDFJKL WHAT WHY IS EVERYONE SNEAKING UP ON HIM TODAY. That gets flailing that is even less controlled, and if he had a mouth to get water in he probably would have just then. Why him...? ]

[mermaidofnoel.livejournal.com]

[... Lifting you up as much as she could to keep that water from letting you drown. :|;]

[personafalsify.livejournal.com]

[ Wait what why are you holding him, what is this. He just kind of gives her a look okay he tries, it doesn't really work well when he has zero expressiveness and tries to twist free. ]

[mermaidofnoel.livejournal.com]

[... Smile. You're a strange little monster.]

[personafalsify.livejournal.com]

[ Oh god you're not going to try to eat him, are you. He tastes terrible, by the way, and isn't filling at all. And he's not just saying that, either. Still wants freedoms though kthx. ]

[mermaidofnoel.livejournal.com]

[He's struggling too much, and she doesn't have that much upper body strength. After a while, she puts him down, though still holding his hands.]

[personafalsify.livejournal.com]

[ ... can he go back to dry land now, he kinda misses it. Why are you holding him like that, what do you even want, can't you see his hands have MASSIVE CLAWS on them? ]

[mermaidofnoel.livejournal.com]

<small.[She is teaching you how to swim, oh strange one! Going to move your hands in a circular motion of sorts, trying to tell you the proper movement.]

[personafalsify.livejournal.com]

[ He knows how to swim, it's just that when he goes to swim it doesn't work :< ]

[mermaidofnoel.livejournal.com]

[She doesn't know that! She thinks he's kind of failing hard actually. :(]

[personafalsify.livejournal.com]

[ Because he is HE'S TRYING. SEE. LOOK AT HOW HARD HE TRIES.

... flail flail flail ]
