On Mermaids

[adarkfallenstar]

Mundane, I do hope you realize watching that pirate movie of yours and getting all excited about mermaids being added to your favorite ride that isn't the Haunted Mansion or Space Mountain isn't going to make them appear out of thin air.

They are far too smart for that.

You of all people should know the only way to lure them out is by singing...or by offering them a dinglehopper.

I'd prefer it if you didn't make fun of Ariel like that, Michael.

[adarkfallenstar]

I was being serious, Eric.

But now I have to ask, does she play a mean Snarfblat?

Because, I would love to see that.

[voice_seeker]

Cut it out!

[adarkfallenstar]

So...are there any other adorable words for things she uses?

Maybe I'll just have to ask her sometime.

[voice_seeker]

I don't want to have to fight you, Michael! Leave her alone!

[adarkfallenstar]

Well, aren't you defensive?

I hadn't pegged you for the jealous type, only the annoying overprotective big brother type.

[voice_seeker]

Jealousy isn't my problem here. It's the risk of you feeding off of Ariel.

[adarkfallenstar]

Do you honestly think so little of me that I'd actually let something bad happen?

[Eric doesn't need to know about the prep school....or the DNAliens...or that time he was all glittery.]

I didn't start hunting yesterday, Eric.

I've learned my own limitations.

[The hard way.]

Honestly, what do you think is going to happen if I do?

[voice_seeker]

Someone getting hurt. Ariel, you, me......I want to avoid that as much as possible.

[adarkfallenstar]

Sounds like a plan, but I get hurt if I don't feed.

You do understand that, right?

[voice_seeker]

Of course I do! Just...find a better source of food, OK?

[adarkfallenstar]

I'm open to suggestions.

Let's hear some.

[voice_seeker]

Uh....well....what about all those giant spiders in the western district? That way you'd be fed AND be doing the community a service!

[adarkfallenstar]

Do you eat spiders, Eric?

[voice_seeker]

N-no, but you wouldn't be eating them in the normal way, just taking their life-force.

[adarkfallenstar]

I don't eat spiders either.

I mean, I would if I was on a deserted island and that is all there was...but I'm not, am I?

speaking of thin air

[bycupid]

Coming from someone with experience.

<3

[adarkfallenstar]

Lovely Tamara!

It has been too long.

I didn't figure you would be easily caught, but I am most relieved to find the skeleton on display at that theme park is not yours.

[bycupid]

So it has.

[ What a sly chuckle! ]

Certainly not by any man.

Though how funny it is you only speak of mermaids and I am here.

[adarkfallenstar]

[His cheeks flush a little bit of an odd purple under his mask. He chuckles a little himself.]

Maybe I am just lucky that way?


Regardless, it is good to see you.

My mundane says she plans on referencing that time you and my future self crossed paths in one of her "Fics."

Apparently it is something called "head canon."

I have no idea what she is on about.

What have you been up to, lovely?

[bycupid]

Perhaps you are. Having my favor makes one lucky indeed.

You as well. I miss our chats.



...I do. How exciting. We're both quite honored. I may have to have mine read it.

Oh, same old. Not sure how or when she'll ever give me more time in the water than she does, but adding more and more to her little fishtank in terms of games and she has quite the....aquarium of headmates. It makes for a very crowded pond that I want out of.

It'd make three now, that she plays. That are like me, that is.

[adarkfallenstar]

[That awkward flush doesn't go anywhere.]

Well, we shall have to remedy that. We'll have to make it a point to converse more often.

Well, mine has to write it first. Apparently this time of year is...hectic, to say the least. I'm amazed I can get a word in, to be honest.

Sounds familiar. While I'm the only one of my ilk in the headspace...there are plenty of others to make noise in here.

[There's a wicked smile in his voice all of a sudden.]

In your case, though, I'm sure they all know who the real queen of the sea is. Or if they don't, you get them on track rather quickly.

[bycupid]

[ Her mock pout turns sinister yet again. ]

Strange lights and glittering trees, I'm not at all surprised. We'll see. I'll have picked everything off of the tree by then.

Noisy ponds are the worst.

[ Oh you~ She crinkles her nose with a teasing smile. ]

That's why I'm here. And they're not~♥

[adarkfallenstar]

They are easily distracted, aren't they?

Works out for both of us.

[He smiles under metal and points at her knowingly, nodding as he does so.]

I figured as much.

Still, I am glad to be in your good graces, as ever.

You keep things...interesting.

My Mundane also put me in a game.
Nourishment is not difficult to come by there.

[bycupid]

Holidays are an excellent reason.

[ Another face scrunch, more in an attempt to be funny than laugh. ]

I'm fairly sure you couldn't ever leave them, then again, you haven't ever really tried.

...Oh?

Color me interested.

[adarkfallenstar]

I shouldn't want to leave, really. I have never met another me and I would be terribly bored on my own.

Oh, yes.

I have a few donors. This is new for me.

[bycupid]

Another you?

[ She's amused at his implication. ]

Oh~?

Do go on.

I want to hear.

LATE TAG IS LATE

[adarkfallenstar]

Yes. Or another Muse of me. I can't count how many Spocks or Jack Frosts I have seen. I've yet to encounter another Darkstar. Alright, one...but he was an older Michael Morningstar, so that hardly counts. I couldn't argue with the Played By choice in icons though. It was Leonardo Dicaprio.

Well, I have apparently made a friend. She's young, impish...and elfish. And she occasionally lets me sneak a bite of her energy. I've never had anyone actually volunteer that. That's new.
