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. ]

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

[ 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. ]

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

[ 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. ]

[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.]

[ ... 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? ]

<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 ]

[mermaidofnoel.livejournal.com]

[Watches.

... Is he still drowning?]

[personafalsify.livejournal.com]

[ He was never drowning in the first place!

... But what he's doing still bares little resemblance to swimming.

...

Or floating. ]

[...

Lalala picking out one of her tail scales and handing it to him.]

[personafalsify.livejournal.com]

[ ... What is this and why are you giving it to him. Don't you know Heartless can't equip items He can barely float here, much less gather up the fine motor skills to try to hold on to it. But he stares, as much as he can manage. ]

[She points to it, then opens her mouth, then closes it. You're supposed to put it in your mouth.]

[personafalsify.livejournal.com]

[ ... He doesn't have a mouth. ]

[mermaidofnoel.livejournal.com]

[She has yet to realize that.]

[personafalsify.livejournal.com]

[ Well, he's not growing one any time soon, either. ]

[mermaidofnoel.livejournal.com]

[Her ears droop at the lack of response. No good?]

[personafalsify.livejournal.com]

[ He does his best to point at his (lack of a) mouth. Sorry, a tad lacking in the orifice department here. ]

[... Her ears droop at that. Oh.]
