On apping at ryansgulch.

So you think you're going to send me to some proper fucked-up underwater city, yeah? Well, I don't know if you've noticed, but it's like nineteen fifty-eight there. You obviously don't get this, so I'm going to explain it to you.

Americans in the fifties didn't exactly love Black people.

Look, if you're gonna do this anyway, which I know you will 'cause you're kind of a bitch and do whatever you want, can you at least get some of my friends to come? 'Cause being stuck under the ocean sounds like it's gonna blow.

[Hi, it's a fish man.]

I can assure you, young lady, that the ocean does not blow.

[frenzies]

Uh, says who? Weird freaky fish guy?

[curiously_attractive]

...Yes. Exactly, said to the weird freaky ape girl.

[frenzies]

Okay, that's just rude, yeah? Think I'll stick with 'it's gonna blow.'

What the fuck are you supposed to be, anyway?

[curiously_attractive]

You did insult my entire species, of which I am the empereor. So I'd say we're even. I'm a merfolk, so you'd see why I think the ocean doesn't blow.

[frenzies]

Woooow.

[She sounds totally unimpressed.]

Well I'm a hot bitch, and I'm good with staying on land, yeah?

[curiously_attractive]

I might agree with one out of three.

[He can be cheeky right back, thanks.]

[frenzies]

[She looks incredulous, but pleased.]

Are you flirting with me?

[curiously_attractive]

[He's really a very go with the flow sort of guy, so-]

It was either that or calling you a bitch. You pick whichever one you like more and I'll go with it.

[frenzies]

[She shrugs.]

They're both true, so whatever. I didn't know mermen or whatever were into humans.

[curiously_attractive]

I am a man and men should live passionately, without regrets. Missing the chance to tell a woman she is beautiful should be a crime.

[He shrugs right back, although his involves flaring the fin on his back too.]

Even if they are rude young ladies.

[frenzies]

I've been called way worse, yeah?

But, um. Thanks.

[curiously_attractive]

Strictly speaking I haven't said it yet.

[Hey wanna see something weird

too bad he's gonna do it anyway

He waves his hands about in front of him, gathering some moisture to make a little ball of water which at his touch transforms itself into a blooming water lilly. He does stuff like that. Offering it up to her now.]

So consider it said with a gift.

[frenzies]

The fuck are—

Oh.

[She takes it with a smile that's half-pleased, half-skeptical.]

Thanks. That's, like, really nice.

[curiously_attractive]

Not really, they're a pain to keep alive unless you have a large body of water. They're a dreadful present really. But it looks good.

[mrbackwards]

I don't think you get a say, Alisha.

[frenzies]

A girl can dream, yeah?

[mrbackwards]

Suppose so. How you been?

[frenzies]

Bored as fuck. She never does anything with me. You?
