I forget whose turn it was. We can do another thing.

[tothosewhobait]

Mmm..we could tell stories or gossip or do makeovers...by which I mean you could try the moisturizer I make while I preen your wings? Or another game.

[doublefried]

I wanna know more about where you're from. Is that okay? Like, it has magic and merpeople, so it must be pretty interesting?

[tothosewhobait]

That would be fair considering how much I got to see. Ah...is there anything specific you want to know?

[doublefried]

Hmm... I'm just generally curious.

[tothosewhobait]

Well...I'm from the Coral Sea. Jade, Floyd and I all took the land bootcamp so we could attend Night Raven College together. Not everyone in our world has magical ability...and only those with the potential to be a truly great mage are invited to attend. Obviously there are other schools, but NRC is of course one of the best.

[doublefried]

Ooh, so it's an elite kind of school... is it fun? I never went to school but it always looks fun in shows.

[tothosewhobait]

I think so. Life has been interesting since I came on land. The classes are informational and I get to run my lounge... I enjoy being a house warden and I also enjoy being a member of the board game club.

[doublefried]

It does sound fun...

Was it weird adjusting to like... bones? Like more bones than before I mean.

[tothosewhobait]

It was strange to get used to a lot of things... Legs. Walking. Eating hot food. Breathing air. Walking was incredibly painful at first... Now it just hurts for a while after a fresh potion.

[doublefried]

Oh yeah, hot food... underwater cuisine would be way different, right?

[ idly like, reaching over to gently pat his leg like a little massage ]

[tothosewhobait]

[Hums idly, relaxing at the touch]

My mother runs a famous restaurant back home, but....food under the sea is, of course, quite different.

[doublefried]

It'd have to be, yeah... like sashimi and stuff?

[tothosewhobait]

Among other things, certainly.

...there aren't many mers at school, so I'm glad to have Jade and Floyd with me.

[doublefried]

Are they octopuses as well? Octopi?

[tothosewhobait]

Nn, they're eels.

[doublefried]

Ooooooh. I'm picturing that... I bet you all look cool in a squad.

[tothosewhobait]

You think so? They're here, if you'd like to meet them. Quite a few of my classmates are, actually.

[doublefried]

The Warden raiding schools now... honestly shame on her. But I wouldn't mind meeting 'em!

[tothosewhobait]

I'll introduce you then.

[doublefried]

[ leans over to pet his hair a little ]

I'd like that.

[tothosewhobait]

[Leans into that]

Some of the other house wardens are here as well. People from my school...including myself...I believe there are about nine of us? There used to be eleven.

[doublefried]

Oh, solitary for the other two, huh...

[tothosewhobait]

Unfortunately.

[doublefried]

Well, there's a lot we don't know about how this place works, so there's plenty of room for discovery. It might turn out to be easier than we think to get 'em out.
