Muse is manipulative and scary... As well as nostalgic as my lil' cheese-ball

[kisskisskrill]

Krill? I see what you're saying. Oh, mun, how can you be so mean? I'd never, never kill someone on purpose. Joke or not, that-- That's just cruel. After all that nasty Hunter did, telling all those horrible lies about me, chasing me down, hurting me so badly... Now, you, too?

I really hoped we could be friends. It makes sense, though. Someone as pretty as you would never want to be friends with someone so plain.

[Sniffle.]

No. Please. There's no need to apologise for the username. I'll be okay.

At this rate I'm going to have to catch up with you and make Wuya too :P

[flying_nerd_hidden_dragon]

[Have a Jack Spicer who has no idea who you are but is wearing rather familiar Xiaolin robes.]

Hey you shouldn't be so down on yourself. I was like that a lot but all it did was make me bitter at the world. Didn't get me much of anywhere.

[menaced]

[Lily knows manipulation when she hears it.] What are you?

DO EEEET - We can have evil parties... Feat. Omi

[kisskisskrill]

[Dyris doesn't really remember him too well, but she vaguely remembers the voice calling her 'quirky'. No matter, though. In the end, he's another boy to play with. She gives another soft sniffle, smiling sadly at Jack.]

But look at yourself... You're so kind and cute; you've got no reason to feel bad about yourself.

[She gives an all the well practised pout, glancing away and flashing her tail.]

I'm just scaly.

[kisskisskrill]

I'm a mermaid. The last of my kind.

[menaced]

So you're a siren?

[kisskisskrill]

No. I'm a mermaid. There's a difference.

[menaced]

Same thing. You were siren before mermaid.

[kisskisskrill]

I think I know what I am.

[Is her 'I'm so cute and innocent' mask starting to crack? Yep.]

I might xD I may even have a plot where she's stuck with Omi for some reason xD

[flying_nerd_hidden_dragon]

[Well okay a real mermaid, that's interesting but her comment doesn't get the typical blush reaction. Sure he's embarrassed but he had to set her straight.]

Scaly or not you seem to be better than what I was. A bitter, angry kid who felt constantly alone. Even my parents acted like I was some freak show locked away in the basement. Then my friends came along and changed that.

Omi even managed to get a modern saying close to right!

[menaced]

[This is Lily smirking.]

A creepy little mackerel that likes to drag men to their watery graves?

That would be win <3

[kisskisskrill]

[D'aw, Jack's so easily manipulated sweet~ Dyris flutters her eyelashes, finally wearing a bright smile.]

Maybe... You would be my friend, then?

[kisskisskrill]

[Ha! Finally, a comment Dyris can use to her advantage.]

Why are you being so cruel to me?

[menaced]

Because I see past that mask. Drop the Victim ploy.

[flying_nerd_hidden_dragon]

Sure, I wouldn't mind. I'm not really a swimmer though so you'll kind of have to forgive me for not joining you in the water.

[Even though he was a good guy and some clarity on his situation he was still naive in some ways. Really he was second only to Omi's obliviousness.]

[kisskisskrill]

[Giggle, giggle, giggle and a gentle brush of her hand against his.]

You're funny. Don't worry, though, you don't have to join me in here... I'd be sure to take care of you if you did, though.

[kisskisskrill]

It's not a ploy!

[flying_nerd_hidden_dragon]

[Excuse him as he does finally blush and backs up a bit.]

Thanks. So uh, I'm Jack Spicer. What is your name?

[menaced]

Uh-huh.

[She'll just stand there, not believing you.]

[kisskisskrill]

Oh, I'm sorry. Did I scare you?

[Cue the rather convincing - but totally fake - concern.]

I'm Dyris. And there's nothing to be afraid of. I won't hurt you.

[flying_nerd_hidden_dragon]

Ah not exactly. I'm just not used to that sort of thing. Kind of goes back to being a shut-in for the longest time.

Besides even if swimming isn't my thing I wouldn't be scared. [Maybe he's lying a little but just a little.]

Water isn't my element but there are plenty of minerals in the sea and on the ocean floor to make some decent metal.

[kisskisskrill]

Sorry, I just lose my head when I see someone so cute.

[It's good to be afraid, bro. Because Dyris is psycho and will drown you.]

But I'll be happy to reacquaint you with the outside world.

pft; late

[arrowsparrow]

Playing innocent again.

[flying_nerd_hidden_dragon]

[Now he has a little suspicion but he just chalks that up to weird fishy taste. No one called him cute, at least not that often.]
