@doublebattled replied: "Come back to the league please I miss the food so badddddd."

"Come visit me then? I can make food for you now, too."

[unovamuses]

"I'm right here, you know..."

[unovamuses]

"Been eerily quiet today..."

[unovamuses]

@seishore asked: a slight lilt. shimmering blue. the mermaid never expected to cross one of her own, let alone on land, but here he was among the seafolk.

"?" Marlon tilts his head at the sudden encounter. There's a hint of recognition in his eyes.

"Yooo!! Good t'see a fellow friend!"

[unovamuses]

"Little carpets??" It didn't ring a bell right away, if she was honest. But that didn't matter much! Emmet would soon clarify in the middle of the craft store.

"Latch hooking? I have never heard of that before. How does it work exactly?" She curiously glances over at the kits and supplies, trying to figure them out by just staring at the colourful images on the box.

"Ah, do you know those.... What are they called..." He knows what they are, he just can't remember the name of the silly things. "Little carpets? With the yarn pieces and the hook and–hm. I'll show you."

It doesn't take very long to find the craft store, or to pull Elesa inside. It does take a bit longer to find the aisle for the kits he's thinking of, but they reach their destination eventually and he points.

"Latch hooking! That's the bitch."

[unovamuses]

"Diamonds, hmm? Well, they are a girls best friend, after all!" A chuckle as she's practically dragged away at full speed. You'd think she'd yelp, but she's honestly used to this by now.

"Though I want to check out other stuff, too. See what really sticks, or have some variation of things to do! What else does fit me, you think?"

He happily links his arm with Elesa, lifting the other to point dramatically. "Full steam ahead!" Emmet rolls the suggestions over in his mind as they power walk, contemplating which one would suit his friend best.

Diamond painting, he thinks. Between her attention to details and the shininess of a completed item she'll probably enjoy that best.

"Diamonds are your best track."

[unovamuses]

"That's perfect, actually! I want to pick up some new craft supplies too! See what else is out there! Maybe diamond painting? Or some clay! Or even something with yarn... The possibilities are endless!" She beams, clearly overly excited for these new ventures into creativity. Elesa holds out an arm for the other to take or link his arm with. "Whenever you're ready!"

"A verrrrrry! Good plan." It's not like he's working today; it's technically their day off and they'd gotten bored enough to come down to Gear Station. At least three employees have tried to chase them off in the last hour, so they'll probably be glad if he goes with Elesa.

"I need more yarn, Light Bulb made a nest out of my last skein."

[unovamuses]

She can't help but chuckle at Emmet's attempt to protect her hearing, along with the pun. "I'm glad you like it. I spent a good few hours on that, you know? I think Nugget is the ideal name for this little one." Once her ears are free, she does a little twirl. "It's been too long since I had some free time. How about we spend some together?"

"For watt it's worth, I think it was a good attempt!" He tosses the box aside into a nearby trash can, already holding the little toy in his hands adoringly. "I like its little hat. I shall name it Nugget."

He sets it on his shoulder before clapping his hands over Elesa's ears, turning his head slightly.

"INGO WE HAVE A NEW MASCOT FOR THE STATION."

@subwaayemmet // Continued;

"Oh, I thought you'd be sure to--"

Oh he's. He's already opening the thing. Inside is a needle felted Joltik. It doesn't look too good, but... It's the thought that counts, right?

"...Needle little help..."

[unovamuses]

"It's getting colder!! Ya know what that means!!!" It means he still goes swimming. What else is new.

[unovamuses]

^ Your local Alolan & Unovan merfolk...

[unovamuses]

sees merfolk on dash. posts marlon's merfolk form again.

"It drifted into my Gym."

He frowns, examining the object once more. Hmm. Not really a treasure like he hoped.

"Guess people 'r litterin' 'gain?"

Red opens his mouth, as if wanting to say something; he furrows his brows, eyeballing Marlon, and raises a finger to attempt to say something, but alas--

He nods.

[ Yeah. I guess it's tired. It looks sad, deflated. Where'd you get that? ]

[unovamuses]

@silentchamp replied: [ ... ...I believe...that's a tire. ]

"...It's tired? Better get 'm some snoozes, then."

[unovamuses]

"What's this? Anyone know?" He's holding up a deflated bicycle tire...

[unovamuses]

"Teach ya? Nah dude, that kinda underwater pressure would probably not b' good f'r ya."

Real casual way of saying you DO withstand inhuman levels of water pressure, Marlon. He moves to examine the knife by holding it right in front of his eyes. Something about it was just so cool to him. The uses were rather mundane, though.

"I use it f'r shell openin' purposes, mostly. 'r to cut seaweed, that kinda junk. Ya know how it goes."

He slides it back into his little fanny pack he uses for diving, grinning wide. "Yeah, I agree! Let's go, then? Been a while since I ate in a place like that."

"How curious... Perhaps you can teach me how one day~?"

[ His voice is playful, not entirely serious in its request. Realistically asking for something like that from someone is a big deal, after all. ]

[ Eyes slightly widen at the sudden showcasing of a rather... Unique knife being flashed in front of him. First out of surprise, then towards the level of detail on the artifact. Possible cursedness aside, he can certainly appreciate the craftsmanship. ]

"Huh... What a lovely piece~ Do you ever use it for practical purposes or do you just keep it on your person to show it off~?"

[ It's a little difficult to keep his eyes off the knife out of pure instinct to stay vigilant, but he finally tears his gaze away. ]

"Ah, of course~! Would be a nice opportunity to catch up~"

[unovamuses]

"Oh, yeah!! Like, all the time, dude!"

It's fun to dive for treasure! Though what might be treasure in Marlon's eyes, might be junk for Grimsley, and vice versa.

"Check it out!" Aaaand he pulls out a knife. One that looks ancient. This thing could probably fetch a ton of cash at an auction... Or it's cursed. Either way, it does look pretty cool.

"An' yeah! That sounds delish, dude! Wanna go grab some together?"

"Ah...~ Well regardless, it's always nice to see a familiar face around here."

"Treasures in the depths, hm~? You go diving for them by any chance?"

[ Grimsley isn't the type to ask questions so easily, but he just can't help it here, really. He's terribly curious about sports and activities involving the ocean. ]

"I know a place just ahead from the shore of Ula'ula's beach that has some very lovely fish fillets with a creamy mushroom sauce... How does that sound to you~? Or perhaps some fried calamari..."

[ He muses as he nearly puts a nail to his lips in thought, implying a potential invitation for the other. ]
