Halfway through the week holy hell. You'll get some replies on sunday. Family still visiting 😭

[magurisu]

I got responsibilities coming next week. So if I go radio silent, that's mostly why.

my ims are open for chatter or casual plotting though!

[magurisu]

"Oh I'm glad I'm not being much of a bother!" Laughs the witch. Things like this were always fascinating to her anyways so it was a delight to learn so much.

"That's understandable." She remembered when she would be out on the ranch during rainy days. Walking back home covered in mud and clothes stuck to her skin was fun when she was a kid, but as she got older it was just a bigger hassle.

"I was also curious about this..." How does one word this properly?

"Do you...trim your feathers for your clothes?" The woman arches her brow as she is trying to figure this out, "Oh is it like human hair, where you don't feel it until someone points it out?"

"It's no biggie, my job has always been to educate people!" Not necessarily about harpies, but she kind of had the advantage there, anyway. "But yeah, it'd be nice to be more aerodynamic, but it's not the end of the world."

"Technically, I CAN fly in rain, but prolonged exposure to water is just bad for our feathers in general. Being wet feels weird, too. I just try to avoid it as much as possible when I can."

Seeing that food was the right choice to offer, her posture visibly relaxes. Now that was all settled in ready to go, their next obstacle was to tackle what would be on the menu. While she was not much familiar with this particular location, what she did know is that food was quick to find anywhere.

"We could probably head to the local pub and see what they got?" Questions Catalina with a hopeful tone.

"I am usually a fan of protein packed meals." Her smile still remained, "But that's cause I do a lot of physical labor."

"I don't want to assume the same for you so this way we both get variety."

Their tail began to wag even more at the mention of food! Not only were they quite hungry but also...eating with someone else was always more fun! It gave them a sense of normalcy and such moments had to be treasured! Especially with their lifestyle...

" Of course I can! What are we going to eat? Food is amazing! I mean...some dishes are fascinating! I am amazed with what people can come up with! " They had mostly been eating berries and other more survival based dishes...thus regular food was already amazing to them! They could afford it and yet mostly chose to not get any...After all, someone could need it more!

It was always fun to catch this kid in a lie. Especially when he always scrambled to remedy what he had said. Reminds her of her god kids, especially the oldest when he knew he was in the wrong. Only difference here is that she's not pinching cheeks as punishment.

"If I wanted you behind bars, I would've done it already~" She points out before idly folding up the newspaper. Now he had her full undivided attention. "So why'd you become a thief anyways?"

"I'm confident you're not Robin Hood," Then again the character in question actually had charisma. From her previous experiences, she knew it was not good to point out his lack of it, "Unless I'm wrong?"

“ that’s because I-!! well…. “ yeah, she was pretty weird. the whole place was! but even though Ohta felt that way, he was still a businessman(??) at heart. he was SMART enough to know know that’s where all the interesting stuff was too. if he came by every now and then, he might pick up on something cool! or he might get to swipe something valuable enough to sell.

but he wasn’t about to ADMIT to that last part out loud. even though he kinda.. already did...? back up- “ I know i just said I’m a thief & all but I-I didn’t mean it like- ”

“ -wait... why’re you asking? are you gonna have me trespassed too?! “

"Do you love me?"

"Wait! You need shoes!"

"But you don't love me."

"No, but I think you're hot."

"Forget it! I'm going home!"

"She glows from the inside."

"Following you around is fun."

"Give me your car keys… now!"

"You scared the salt out of me!"

"Why go through life unnoticed?"

"I like you. I really, really like you."

"Are you always so sure of yourself?"

"It's the closest thing we have to magic."

"You have to help me make him love me."

"We are not fictional! We're just discreet!"

"You can tell me how that makes you feel."

"We are so coy, he barely knows we exist."

"What? What do you want me to tell you?"

"Maybe we could wish for something else?"

"When you help a mermaid, you get a wish."

"He still chooses her over me? She's a FISH!"

"He's totally into you! This doesn't make sense!"

"I mean, all the girls are after him. Even a few boys."

"Starfish may be huge suck ups. But they never lie."

"What are you girls doing out here in this weather?"

"But I gotta be careful. Add a little water, instant tail."

"I'm never gonna see him again, and he doesn't care!"

"He's way too popular! You should pick someone else."

"I can't stop thinking about him. I feel so weird and tingly."

"I know there's a reason why everybody wants it so much."

"First time on land, first time with legs. Can you believe it?"

"But I've learned it's not where you are, it's who you're with."

"You're never going to get a tan wearing all of those clothes!"

"I found two new men to love… Their names are Ben and Jerry!"

"I mean, maybe we could learn to stand on our own for a change…"

"They love to give compliments. But it's nice when you need a little boost."

"Are you always so sure of yourself? It's nice. More people should be like that."

"Well, all these articles say we've been way too available. We need to be more coy."

"When you find love, I guess it's really beautiful. I mean, that's what I've read in magazines."

"I don't think they would've wanted you to be afraid of life. I think they would've wanted you to be friends with it."

"Did you know you can hear the ocean through these? Well, it works both ways. The ocean can hear you, too."

"You think I need you all the time, when the truth is, you're so mad at the world, that nobody but me even wants to talk to you."

"I just want you to know, if (name) comes in here and chops us up into a million pieces, that you are totally, completely, and eternally my best friend."

"Mer… maid. Mermaid. Fabled marine creature, half-woman, half-fish, best known for sitting on rocks, staring into mirrors, and obsessively combing our long, beautiful hair. Blah, blah, blah."

[magurisu]

Seeing the extended hand, she wasted no time in taking it and providing a small handshake with Lucen. A small awkward laugh is given as she does her best to not hunch her posture in embarrassment, "I'm glad I didn't step on any toes."

Despite being reassured about it, her expression is semi unreadable. Small twitches from her brows to her lips as she was not even sure what was the best emotion to display on hand, "You know what makes things better? Food."

"Do you want to grab something to eat?" There was a pause that followed before her eyes grew wide, "You're not allergic to anything right? Oh gosh, wait, can you digest food? I should've asked that first."

Oh my! Had they managed to actually make her feel bad? That wasn't their intention at all! They were just as embarrassed as she was, unable to turn this conversation around they simply opted to just...hold out their hand? Maybe a handshake would help?

" It's okay! Don't worry about it! You definitely gave me a lot to think about and I appreciate that...so...everything okay? " Their tail began to wag a little, simply deciding to mask their embarrassment with the need to be this person's friend now! That's totally how that works!

"Ready when you are." She did her best to not sound as groggy. In her hand was a lukewarm root beer, with small motions, she swirls it around before taking a swig of it.

If she were honest, she had no clue how she stumbled across the topic of magic itself. Could have been the brain fog, after all, she did wake up from an impromptu nap, a miracle in itself. The gears are slowly turning but she can be a good student.

[magurisu]

"Would you have liked to be as aerodynamic as other birds?" The witch asked as she did recall the earlier statement of rain being a factor for flight. Her eyes almost glimmered in thought, "I don't want to assume, so I'll ask it."

Her hands do raise in apologetic fashion, a faint half smile forming as she pressed on, "Feel free to tell me if I'm being too much about it too!"

"But I thought birds preen their feathers to prevent water related issue for travel, do Harpies not do the same? Is it because the size of the feathers vary for you?"

"Yeah, me neither, unless I need to go somewhere and it's raining out." Ava was more than happy to talk about her people, especially with someone who seemed so interested!

"Yes, harpies have heavily pneumatized skeletons like most birds do! We can fly whenever we need to, since we have strong muscles on top of being lightweight. That being said, harpies are not as aerodynamic as other flying birds--a sacrifice for our more humanoid body plan."

" i'm a thief! I'm not a murderer! " u kno who :3c

@frcnzied

"You know thievery can lead to it though," Catalina admits while looking up from the crosswords on the newspaper. Ever since their first encounter, this kid has been quite a handful but it's not like she'll complain about it. It was nice for the shop to not be quiet all the time. Her assistant was on vacation anyways.

Better to be within her sights than in a situation he could not shuffle his way out of it. She was still reeling from the first time she ever met him in the first place.

Her eyes fall back on the newspaper, penning in her answer, "Also I thought you said I was too weird, why'd ya even come back?"

[magurisu]

"I rather keep him in a pit of lava." Burped out the witch with a grimace to follow. Her eyes squeezed shut as she chugged more of her drink down.

"Don't get me started on exes."

Hums the woman as she reaches for another bottle. "He has his third kid on the way."

"I only know cause he somehow keeps finding me to tell me." Her nail pops off the beer cap, "Apparently silver nails soaked in garlic do jack shit to vampires."

"Maybe he's building his immunity?"

[magurisu]

Her eyes widened as she realized that might've been a land mine that she stepped onto. It was easy to fire out her thoughts but when the consequences smacked her in the face, boy did she regret it. Brows furrowed once more, trying to slowly piece together the right words that could help turn this situation around.

This was so difficult to accomplish in the first place.

"I-I mean it might be good to leave them with good memories, right?" Her tone holds uncertainty but she sure is trying her best. Her hands release themselves, gesturing as she kept talking, "It might also be good to maybe not get hurt so much? That way you live longer to help people in a positive way?"

It is very clear that she is scrambling at this point. Eventually, she opted to cease the chatter on her end.

Now that...that was actually a shocking thought. Lucen never considered that option. That alone made them reconsider but who would miss them? They had no idea honestly. All those people they once knew were no more...for the best in hindsight but still..

"...But...I don't have anyone? I mean...I have no family nor friends per se...but..maybe you're right! Maybe if I do make some friends they truly would miss me....oh man..that alone saddens me to no end. "

They answered, actually looking rather concerned now over the possibility of causing despair. At the very least it seemed that they were reconsidering their previous stance! Even if..it made them upset for a different reason.
