[Believe her, if she had a choice, she would not be calling for help. But she's tried everything, and she can't fly anymore, or shapeshift out of this mess, and trying to darg herself anywhere resulted in carpet burn which not only hurt like Glob, but made the already itchy scales hit a maddening level of itchy. she can't even reach water to stop them itching.

Though, it's audio for a reason - she's too embarrassed about the fact that she's stuck and that she now has the tail of a fish to show herself straight away. Mermaids are cool and all.... but not when she is one.]

...A little help?

[Someone? anyone?]

[dramaticals]

What is it you need?

[he's apparently prince charming?? or something prince-like. so all the helping!]

[betel_geuse]

"Marceline?" Betelgeuse asked. "Whatsamatter?"

Some people in his home world might find his interest in the girl odd, since he didn't really have anything to gain from her. But, she was one of the first people he had met here and he did kinda consider her a friend. She was nice enough to him at least. So, he was willing to help her, to an extent.

[monkeystowaway]

..help with what? [He's cautious, creepy girl.]

[smelltheredinside]

[There's a pause. Well, she like BJ enough that she's going to skip all the dramatics and get to the point on this one.]

I got hit by whatever the Glob is going on. I need some help getting to water pretty quick.

Get to my apartment, okay? And Knock before coming in![Okay, maybe not all the dramatics.]

Re: audio;

[smelltheredinside]

Water. Lots of it. Before I got crazy would be awesome.

[smelltheredinside]

[If she hears that caution, she ignores it.] I have a tail. And not the good or useful kind. [Not out of water anyway, it's a freaking pain.]

[monkeystowaway]

Yeah? So what's the big deal, then? Didn't you just shape-shift so you'd have one?

audio;

[dramaticals]

But of course. Where are you right now?

[betel_geuse]

"No problem, babes. I'll be right there," Betelgeuse promised. He magicked himself to her apartment and appeared in the nearest surface reflective enough to hold a steady image. Grinning crookedly, he knocked on his side of it. "Yo, Marceline! I'm over here! Nice tail!"

[smelltheredinside]

[There is a good reason she told you to knock first. The second you're knocking, is the second her hands fly up to her torso, covering her upper half. She even got the stereotypical mermaid endowments.... but has lacked a sea to get seashells or the weirdly friendly sea creatures to... cover. So, naturally, she freaks out a touch. But it lacks the demonic face that usually accompanies a freakout which should tell you it wasn't her that put herself into this shape if nothing else does.]

I MEANT KNOCK BEFORE YOU COULD SEE ME YOU PERVERT!!

[smelltheredinside]

...don't you think I would have made it good and useful. Totally not the kind of situation I would be asking for help, anyway. Oh My Glob, you're a moron. [Excuse her, she's just incredibly frustrated, tired, and maddeningly itchy. Or, to put it another way: 1000% done right now.]

[monkeystowaway]

I don't know. You could just be doing this to lure someone in just to scare them. [Because she seemed to totally enjoy freaking him out at the party with her ability to suddenly become scary. You brought this on yourself, Marcy.]

Re: audio;

[smelltheredinside]

I'm at my apartment. It's this one. [A few seconds later, you get a text giving her apartment number and address.] Door's open but knock before you come in. [She might not be a vamp for now but that was pretty well hissed.]

[betel_geuse]

Betelgeuse laughed unrepentantly, keeping his gaze mostly on the ceiling.

"Heh, heh, heh, sorry, babes," he offered, shrugging. "I didn't realize you were having problems with your rack. Though, what's so perverted about a guy admiring a gal's rack, anyway? There's worse things than a little honest perversion, y'know. Uh. Want some help with that?"


(ooc: Want him to magic her a bikini top? He can prolly turn her floor into a pool, if you want, too. :D )

audio; -> action;

[dramaticals]

I'll try and help best I can!

[and he's on his way!]

[smelltheredinside]

My pranks are way less lame then that.

[smelltheredinside]

[OOC: Bikini top and floor of water can both be a go! He'll just need to bear in mind she's on the top floor XD

You get a heated glare at going on about admiring a girl's rack. Clothed is a different thing. She's basically naked right now, thanks dude!]

Yes. [Through gritted teeth.]

Forever action?

[smelltheredinside]

[As soon as the knock is on her door, she's making sure her long black hair is covering everything that's to be seen before she says] Okay, you can come in.

[Meet Marcy the Mermaid, Adam. The long and thick black hair means that her currently naked breasts are not visible and so long as she doesn't move about too much, it should stay that way. As you can see, she is beached. It should be clear what she means by a lot of water. The silvery-bluey-grey tail is shifting a little restlessly in her discomfort. And there might just be a permanent colouring of the cheeks until she's wearing something on top. If you think of that.]

sure!

[dramaticals]

[...ah, okay. he gets it now.

adam blinks behind his mask as soon as he sees her, he's simply trying to take in the scene before him. sure, seeing her topless and in such a state was surprising, but a prince wouldn't embarrass her!

so she was a mermaid and she needed water, easy enough. adam glanced around as soon as he closed the door.]

To the bath- that should help you out.

[for the time being at least. she would do much better in the water surrounding this place, but he wasn't sure if she would even make it. the man walks towards her, and he simply scoops her up into his arms. he carries her bridal-style towards the bathroom.]

[betel_geuse]

Betelgeuse laughed, then stuffed two of his fingers into his mouth. He gave a long whistle and the floor space next to the walls began rising. As a pool formed, water bubbled up from the floor, filling the empty space. A ring of bubbles wrapped themselves around Marceline's chest, solidifying into a tacky bikini top that looked like plastic bubbles glued to a thin strip of blue cloth.

"There ya go," Betelgeuse announced proudly. "Can I come over now?"

[smelltheredinside]

[She nods a little bit in response to the bath thing, trying not too move to much. Her arms go up to cover when he picks her up bridal style, but she can't complain about manhandling. He's definitely gentlemanly about it.]

...So... what's your name...? [What with you having hands on her and all. She's not going to do the awkward silence thing. Although, this is probably just as bad.]

[dramaticals]

[but of course he is a gentleman! he thinks he's a prince, after all. even so, if he weren't in this weird trance then he would have considered helping her out. she's not a human, after all, he has no problems with her.]

I'm Adam, and what's yours?

[as he says this he comes into her bathroom, gently placing her in the bathtub. adam brings his hand up to his face, biting the edge of his glove and he pulled it off with his teeth. he turned to glance at the faucet, turning it on. the hand with no glove went under the water, testing it for the right temperature before he pulled away from it.]

There, how's that for you? [as the bath begins to fill...]

[smelltheredinside]

I'm Marceline. And I'm not really a mermaid.

[Then the water starts to run and it feels somewhat like bliss where it's touching the dry and itchy scales, providing an almost instant relief.] It's awesome, thanks.

[dramaticals]

[ah. okay. he's heard this story before, saying that they're really not a bandit or a princess. to him though he really is a prince, at least at the moment he thinks that.]

Then what are you if you're not a mermaid?

[...he just now noticed that she had been covering up her chest this entire time, OOPS! adam clears his throat then turns away from her. his back is resting against the tub however, but he won't peek.]

[smelltheredinside]

[She doesn't uncover it right away, but she feels a little bit better about it. She gets a little bit more comfortable, and it's audible in her tone.]

Vampire. The queen of, back on Ooo.

[No hint of a lie, irony, or anything. That's a straight up fact, and one that she sounds a little proud of.]
