[Action AND Video] A Siren's Call (Halloween!)

[VIDEO]

[Cut to Dove sitting in the sand, clinging to the sweater pulled tightly closed over chest, her expression absolutely panicked, and her tail clearly visible from where she lays in the surf.]

Why the hell am I a fish?!

((ooc: Action prompts below the cut!))


[ACTION-Fayren Beach]
With the shoot from the morning successfully wrapped and the crew packed away, Dove is free to go as she pleases once she’s wrapped up in her own clothing once more. It’s chilly down by the water, but she politely turns away offers to grab drinks and dinner with the rest of the crew and her fellow models, opting instead to visit with the ocean at her own leisure, without distraction. It’s been too long since she’s had a moment with it, and now that she understands the draw of it’s Light, she’s all the more eager to stay, even as the beach grows quieter.

Sweater wrapped loosely about her shoulders, she makes her way down the beach, enjoying the sand beneath her feet as the sun sets on the horizon. It’s so calm now, and there’s a quiet, contemplative smile on her face even as the landscape grows dark. She knows she should be going, watching the subtle glowing marks on her skin die away as she decides to head home and thinking nothing of it until her legs stop moving. A sudden, strange sensation creeps up her calves from the water’s touch, and she suddenly finds herself on her knees as the change takes over and a bright light nearly blinds her.

….it’s only a few moments later that she’s left staring at the long, glittering, rose gold tail that’s replaced her legs.

Anyone along the beach is likely to hear her surprised yelp and see the absolute shock on her face. ]


[ACTION- Cafe in Genessia City, Nova City, or the Library]
[It might be a rather odd sight to see a celebrity sitting alone at a table, surrounded by a scattering of papers, books, and her tablet, frantically pouring over content on Sirens and Mermaids. She certainly looks a little too desperate to just be researching a role, and there’s no denying those feet bouncing anxiously as she studies…

She’ll just be staying as dry as possible for now, thanks…]


[ACTION-mostly Fayren's beaches, but potentially other watery places as well]
[When she’s finally come to terms with the fact her wings are gone and she’s stuck with a tail instead, Dove can be found hesitantly standing at the water’s edge in the earlier days of the week, careful not to let her feet get wet and taking deep breaths until she’s ready to try it all again. Later on in the week, however, one might find her taking it all in and making the best of the situation, poised delicately atop one of the rocks out from the shore in the daylight, enjoying the warmth of the sun reflecting off her scales and the breeze in her hair. More comfortable now, she’s forgone the sweater… it’s not a siren thing, but her hair’s long enough to keep her…modest enough for a siren.

When she’s feeling playful and spots someone she knows, she may follow alongside their path in the water, waiting for an opportune moment to break through the surface to surprise them.

In the evenings, she’ll be watching the moon, enjoying the tranquil ebb and flow of the water against her rock and singing softly along with the roll of the waves. Her voice, at least, remains the same, though her Siren’s tune is a little more hauntingly enchanting than her Angel’s soothing song.

[She wasn't the only one that woke up different. Li had been enjoying the change considering her usual state. In fact, she might have been swimming along the beach when she heard a startled yelp and made her way over.

Very soon, Dove would be encountering a darker Siren with a black tattered tail, markings and black hair. Li was watching her curiously as she allowed the waves to take her to the shore and just observed the lighter colored Siren.]

Because you ate fish the night before?

[It was a joke and it was obvious as he grinned slightly, small horns on his head though with the way he had styled his hair they weren't as obvious. His normal brown eyes were a light red.]
li_amaranth: (Why ?)

[Li settled on the beach, her fins still in the water why her top half rested at the waterline in the sand. She rolled her eyes at how ungraceful the other was and then smirked faintly as Dove figured out who she was.]

Yeah, it's me. Nice tail by the way. At least this time I know I'm not the only one of my kind around. There's at least two of us and who knows if there's more.

[Because hell if he's showing his face...and horns...and wings...right now.]

Do you need help, Dove?
li_amaranth: (Why ?)

[personal profile] li_amaranth 2018-10-19 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[Surprisingly, Li wasn't hiding anything. She was genuinely happy to be like this and not be plagued by her curse right now. Sure, this might be a different one but, it was a lot tamer than hers. Plus this wasn't new to Li. The form was, the concept not so much.]

My guess? Some sort of curse considering it's getting closer to Samhain.

[She shifted from her spot, her tail lazily moving with the waves.]

Things always get strange when the veil between worlds thins for a night. At least, that's how it is in my world. Here? No idea. Your guess is as good as mine.
idoliceking: (Dat ass tho)

Shower Text!

I'm not.

Just... don't be frightened by my current appearance.

Yeah...what is the humans call it now.. Halloween I think.

[Personally, Li hated what the humans did to the old harvest celebration but.. what could she do about it.]

The separation between the human world and the Otherworld. Though, don't think that's a thing here like it is in my world.. Or was. Things have gotten strained in the last century or two.

[She shrugs and then smirks faintly.]

No, we're stuck like this. Yes there's a way to change back you idiot. You just need to dry off and the fin should turn back into legs. Not sure why you'd want to do that when there's a nice ocean to swim in though.

idoliceking: (Your servant ma'am)

[personal profile] idoliceking 2018-10-19 08:49 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm on my way.

[There will be a knock on the door soon.]
li_amaranth: (What could have been)

[personal profile] li_amaranth 2018-10-19 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
[Li rolls her eyes slightly. As far as she knows, God had nothing to do with this. But that call to the water...Li can feel it to. She's felt it most of her life and that was part of what made her curse so painful until recently. To feel the call and not being able to answer it..

And now she could.]


Yeah, I have. The feel of the water as it passes over your fins is just as amazing as it felt when I was younger.

[She started to hum slightly, trying to draw the other siren into the water with her.]

Come on, join me and see for yourself.

Well! That time of year, it seems.

[Gale's looking a bit different himself, what with the curled horns on his head, the red eyes and a set of leathery blackish-purple wings. He's a tad annoyed that it's ruined another shirt, but at least his coat got away unscathed.]

Don't panic, doll. This is kinda tradition in October at this point. It'll prolly last a week or so.
li_amaranth: (Say that again)

[personal profile] li_amaranth 2018-10-19 09:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[Li smiles as she props herself up and offer's Dove a hand to draw her in, keeping that gentle luring tone in her voice. To be part of the sea was always her nature.]

Yes, It's very safe. We can breathe underwater otherwise we would make poor sirens. Now come to me and enjoy the waves with me. You'll love it, I'm sure.. there's nothing like the feeling of the weightlessness of the depths to comfort you.

We're meant for the water right now. I know you can feel the pull just as much as I do.
orlokbutterfly: ([Dress] bitch I'm fabulous)

[personal profile] orlokbutterfly 2018-10-19 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sorry, Dove. Those horns weren't by his choosing. He nods with a laugh.]

Yup, three years in a row. Last year it was just folks that were in Nova City after a certain time, but the first year and this one seems to be all 'round.

So don't fuss too much, now. Genessia's gettin' a tad predictable in October.
orlokbutterfly: (Incubus - Grin~)

[Her wings will be back, and then his will be gone. Which will make him a pouty Gale. Even though he knows it's coming.]

Generally, yeah. There was one time I was reverted back to a human, buuut that came with the weird memory jumbling thing where I was apparently a prince too? I dunno, it was confusing.

[He's still got the outfit from that. At least he still had a stylish eye.]

Gen's a weird place. Pretty sure it can't do much to phase an old veteran like me.

[He may as well be considered a veteran here, after so long. Or an old geezer. Christ, he hit 30 in this place. Saying it's "weird" is the understatement of the century.]
