You Wouldn't Pirate a Fishmaid

[19:26:38] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Mermaid Haven, May 4th, 8 PMish.  The group's search for Mermaids instead ended up finding a bigger fish, who's currently making starry eyes and being so bubbly it's hard to not worry that they'll just swell and pop away.  The full moon has begun showing itself, gleaming over the island, and the "Sea Goddess", Naamaka, is seeming chatty.  Now, how to get to business?  Oh, and to move
[19:26:38] <~Aori_Radidjiu> things along a little more, in the nearby bar, a headphoned young man returns to a table to give a nod of confirmation to the young lady there, ready to head outside (gained temp NPC: Heath).
[19:34:26] * Melons rubs her head, irritatingly glancing between Med and Naamaka, though trying very hard not to actually meet any gazes.
[19:35:56] <Mackenzie> "...Sooo..."  Mak is just, pretending like everything isn't awkward as fuck.
[19:36:03] <Mackenzie> *Mack
[19:36:08] * Cerise walks outside, and has no idea what's going on and why everyone is gathered here.
[19:38:18] * Cursed is now known as Med
[19:39:00] <~Aori_Radidjiu> The azure goddess claps her hands after seeing Cerise come in, with Heath slowly, quietly following along.  "So!  Is this everyone?  I beliiiiieve this is, so I think I'll start, with...hmmmm..." She tilts her head, pushing her fingers together more tightly as she does so.  "Ah, right!  My mission!"  Nodnod.  "Taking a mortal form is so dizzying~!  Anyway.  I believe that whatever is
[19:39:00] <~Aori_Radidjiu> screwing with Kanaloa's head is coming from this island, so I've come to either identify or eliminate it!  I was going to enlist the help of the mermaids, but I can't form a bond with them due to their mental pollution, so I had to find other mortals to link with, since I can't manifest when Hina's light isn't completely viewable!"  She points to the moon with one hand, nodding to herself
[19:39:01] <~Aori_Radidjiu> .  "So that's it!"
[19:41:01] <Melons> "...so you're going to hit the same things we were probably going to hit? Except you're also a god?"
[19:41:09] <Cerise> "Oh. Right, well, my name is Cerise! Nice to meet you!"
[19:41:58] <~Aori_Radidjiu> She nods to Cerise.  "I'm Naamaka!  Nice to meet you too!"  Heath doesn't say anything.
[19:43:04] <Melons> "Wait, when you said 'link with' did that mean weird god things or did you just mean ally with?"
[19:43:35] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "Oh, it meant a weird god thing, yes!"  She nods and smiles.
[19:44:18] <Melons> "...you...not gonna explain further?"
[19:48:14] <Cerise> "It's okay Melons, I don't understand anything but I'm sure it'll work itself out!"
[19:49:14] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Her eyes widen.  "Oh!  Right, explaining.  AHEM.  I, like several other Gods, don't have a physical form in the mortal world.  I have to borrow a form from one of its denizens so that I can actually interact with it directly, otherwise I can only influence things of my domain!  And I'm not a particularly strong goddess, so I can't actually do that much with the sea to begin with, and
[19:49:14] <~Aori_Radidjiu> definitely nothing to oppose Kanaloa!"
[19:50:05] <Melons> "So you've stolen someone's body right now?"
[19:50:11] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "Yes!"
[19:50:32] <Melons> "...and there's nothing wrong with that?"
[19:50:34] <Mackenzie> "Did Cerise just call her..."
[19:50:48] <Melons> "NOMACKNOONESAIDANYTHINGABOUTMELONSSHUTUP!"
[19:52:29] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "They didn't seem all that opposed to it to begin with, so it's okay!  I think.  Having my thoughts filtered through her is muddling me a bit."
[19:53:33] <Melons> Huffing a bit: "So...is THAT the linking part? Because you said 'mortals', PLURAL!"
[19:53:46] <Mackenzie> "...Well then...  Anyway...  Is the curse on Ark related to Kanaloa?  Because that's what we've set out to deal with, after all."
[19:54:59] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "I did?  I did!  I meant more like, categories.  My top group to link with was mermaids, and none of those wanted to work, so I had to find a different subset of mortals to link with!"
[19:55:53] <Med> "You can link with me<3"
[19:56:10] * Cerise suddenly turns to look at Med
[19:56:37] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "I could!  But I didn't wnat to risk getting your taint, it's bad enough Kanaloa is tainted already!"
[19:56:41] <Cerise> "Woah, hold the phiones, who is SHE?"
[19:57:02] <Mackenzie> "Ugh..."
[19:57:03] * Med is wearing a somewhat unbuttoned dress shirt, shorts, sneakers, and bandages. Also, she has red eyes. totes normal.
[19:57:38] <Melons> "A liability...and one of our crew."
[19:57:54] <Med> "I keep telling you, I'm not tainted!"
[19:58:32] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "You have a dark cloud hovering over you, it's like if you constantly had a rain cloud pouring rain over you!"
[19:59:09] <~Aori_Radidjiu> She pantomimes rain falling.  "All the darkness, going and trickling down, washing out any itsy bitsy spiders!"
[19:59:10] * Med looks for a cloud.
[19:59:15] <Melons> "But enough of that shit, WHO do we have to fight to solve our curse problem?"
[19:59:32] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "Oh!  Yes."
[19:59:43] * Mackenzie closes his eyes and pinches the bridge of his nose.
[19:59:44] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "Um.
[19:59:44] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "
[19:59:44] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "I'm not sure exactly who."
[19:59:48] <Cerise> "That is so mean, ma Rayon de Miel!"
[19:59:49] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "But I know it's not the mermaids!"
[20:00:19] <Cerise> "You shouldn't speak about your friends like that! Anyway, I'm Cerise, what's your name?"
[20:01:35] <Med> "Med Mizou! Oh, and don't worry about that."
[20:01:44] <Melons> "...'friends'?" Mel looks a bit nauseous at the notion but shuts her mouth.
[20:02:28] <Med> "Sticks and stones can break my bones, but words can't! Oh... but... you know... she did break into my room earlier to beat me up."
[20:02:52] <Mackenzie> "...Wait, what?"
[20:03:27] <Melons> "She attacked Po, but we have a curse to dispel."
[20:03:52] <Med> "She broke into my room, knocked me unconscious, and then beat up half of my pokemon!"
[20:04:29] <Cerise> "O-oh, I think you may have a morale problem on your ship!"
[20:04:57] <Melons> "I thought you were DRUNK after passing out the night before and you beat up Po before I raised a finger to you."
[20:05:05] <Cerise> "Or at the very least passing up a great fiscal opportunity by not recording sexy girl fights."
[20:05:51] <Med> "I wasn't drunk, I was hiding from the shadows, but it's okay because I don't have to worry about becoming one again~"
[20:05:55] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "I concur!"  Naamaka is suddenly right besides Cerise, nodding.  "Is there a camera anywhere?"  Her eyes start sparkling with stars
[20:06:06] * Melons stares at Cerise and the Goderp.
[20:06:25] * Mackenzie stares at Cerise and Goderp.
[20:06:42] * Med is waayy too cheerful about all this. apparently calling Mel out is fun to shadowmeds.
[20:07:13] <Med> "Well, Knives was there... maybe he took a picture~"
[20:07:19] * Med looks to the pawniard!
[20:07:37] <Mackenzie> "So, seriously, what is all this about?"
[20:08:09] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Knives enters charades mode.  He puts his hands behind his back and starts rocking his head back and forth, making the best imitation of his mouth pursing that he can.
[20:09:21] <Melons> "Med, shut up. Mack, shut up. Goddess-slut, shut up. We have shit to do, I suggest we start doing it."
[20:11:32] <Mackenzie> "...No, I'm pretty sure those priorities are out of order.  Why are you dodging the situation instead of just explaining yourself?"
[20:11:45] <Cerise> "Ma Miel, don't be GRUMPY. Being rude to your coworkers only helps dissolve unit cohesion! Did you even READ the PIRATES handbook," Cerise says, making a pouty face.
[20:11:53] <~Aori_Radidjiu> There is
[20:11:55] <~Aori_Radidjiu> in fact
[20:12:00] <~Aori_Radidjiu> A PIRATES handbook
[20:12:03] <Med> bullshit
[20:12:06] <~Aori_Radidjiu> written by Lecia and Murphy themselves
[20:12:14] <Melons> Did it have pictures?
[20:12:16] <Med> blank pages
[20:12:47] <~Aori_Radidjiu> It had pictures of giant robots and punching missiles.
[20:12:52] <Melons> Yawn.
[20:13:01] <Lecia> Get away with what you can get away with.
[20:13:45] <Lecia> There's probably some other useful diagrams in it, but that probably isn't really a picture in the eyes of most people that ask for pictures, so eh!
[20:14:11] * Cerise liked the diagrams :>
[20:14:15] <Melons> "Because your little girlfriend there is fucking nuts and I'd much rather just wash my hands of her and do the whole 'Let's split up, gang' thing."
[20:18:47] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Regardless, Naamaka starts screwing her face up at 'slut', going through a variety of expressions before settling on >:O, gritting her teeth.  "Miss. Melanie.  Ipu.  I don't think you know much about my mythological history so I'll cut you some slack this time, but the whole lady of the legs injoke has been tormenting me for forever, so please refrain."
[20:20:01] <~Aori_Radidjiu> She takes a looooong exhalation, followed by a looooong inhalation, then nods to herself, smiling again.  "All better!"
[20:20:03] <Cerise> "You should place a god curse on her that makes her be nicer OR LESE."
[20:20:10] <Cerise> "Gods can do that right?"
[20:20:23] <~Aori_Radidjiu> She blinks.
[20:20:24] <Cerise> "You should put that curse on EVERYONE!"
[20:20:29] * Melons looks a little spooked. "...how do you know my whole name?" She'll hold off on mentioning the fact that Mel first saw Naamaka whilst she was facedeep in Med.
[20:20:33] <Cerise> (*Else)
[20:20:51] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "I pulled it!"
[20:21:44] <Melons> "...pulled it?" Can one look excited and scared at the same time?
[20:23:23] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "Well, I was going to pull it from Akasha, but then someone just handed it right to me before I even got to the library!"
[20:23:50] <Melons> "Moredetailmoredetail!"
[20:24:26] <Cerise> "Not until you apologize to everyone for being rude."
[20:24:33] * Cerise puckers her mouth and crosses her arms.
[20:24:58] <~Aori_Radidjiu> She claps her hands together, opening her mouth to speak, then closes it when Cerise interjects, and mimicks Cerise's pose, leaning against Cerise.  "Yeah, yeah!"
[20:25:39] <Melons> Kid-like groan. "I'm sorry I made you all upset."
[20:25:56] <Cerise> 6d6+5 FRIENDSHIP ROLL WITH NAAMIE
[20:25:57] <DiceMaid-9001> Cerise, FRIENDSHIP ROLL WITH NAAMIE: 25 [6d6=4,1,2,1,6,6]
[20:26:59] <~Aori_Radidjiu> 4d6+3+1d6+5 Host + divine bonus
[20:27:00] <DiceMaid-9001> Aori_Radidjiu, Host + divine bonus: 22 [4d6=4,2,1,5; 1d6=2]
[20:27:20] * Med goes up to Cerise. "Will you be my friend too?!" :3
[20:27:52] <Melons> "Tellmetellmetellme!"
[20:28:26] <Mackenzie> "I'm not done talking to you about this, once we're done here."
[20:28:27] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "Not until you make up for it!"
[20:28:46] * Cerise hugs Med before even saying anything!
[20:28:58] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "Giving an apology is the first step to true forgiveness~"
[20:29:00] <Cerise> "Of course! Friendship is the best!"
[20:29:25] * Med hugs back!~ "Yay!"
[20:29:32] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Mumblemumble "whichiswhyIstillhaven'tforgivenPele" mumblemumble
[20:29:42] <Melons> "And...what...does that require?" Suspicious as fuck.
[20:30:48] <Melons> Mel totally heard Mack, by the way, but waved him off. He got in the way of WEIRD AND INTERESTING THINGS.
[20:32:53] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "I'm not the one you've wronged~, don't ask me~!"
[20:33:32] <Melons> "Those weren't the terms of my apology..."
[20:34:16] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "Paper and written contracts are an amazing modern invention!  It's too bad I'm from before them."
[20:34:28] <Cerise> "Apologies don't have TERMS! Man, we have a lot to cover in our friendship seminar don't we?"
[20:34:31] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "...inventions."
[20:34:33] * Cerise starts taking notes
[20:35:51] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "Oh, right!  Mermaids.  Bad stuff."
[20:35:53] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "Um."
[20:38:11] * Melons is grinding her teeth something fierce.
[20:40:17] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "Okay, so!  We're going to need to swim into the mermaid caves because even if the mermaids didn't do it somebody did it around hwere they are and I'm not sure how because I can't access that part of Akasha and...uh..."
[20:40:24] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "Um."
[20:40:35] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "I guess we'll ask the mermaids nicely to point the way to the culprits?"
[20:41:06] <Melons> "And when they freak out and attack us?"
[20:41:21] * Lesieli mutters to herself, her mind going off on tangents unrelated to the current task "Akasha, akasha, hmmmm. . ."
[20:42:39] <Melons> "Oh...I think Kalili's mother and maybe grandmother might be here somewhere...if anyone, we might ask them?"
[20:43:55] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "That might help!"
[20:44:28] * Med peaks at Cerise's notes. mermaids are boring!
[20:47:01] <Melons> "So...how do we get to these caves?"
[20:47:03] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "So, if there aren't any objections, we can start swimming!"
[20:47:16] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "You get to the caves by swimming!"
[20:47:18] * Med raises her hand.
[20:47:19] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "Underwater!"
[20:47:28] <~Aori_Radidjiu> She points to Med.  "Yes?"
[20:47:38] <Melons> "Yes...you said that...I mean...where...specifically..." Gods are fucking dumb.
[20:47:43] <Med> "My bandages'll get all wet!"
[20:48:04] <Cerise> Cerise's notes seem to outline a slumber party for learning the power of friendship.
[20:48:11] <Lesieli> "Ehhhh, swimming?  That's, like, physical exertion or something"
[20:48:16] * Lesieli pouts
[20:48:37] <Melons> "Then ride with Reeve."
[20:48:54] <Melons> "It's like zero work when ghost serpents do the heavy swimming."
[20:52:02] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "Reeve?  Ghost serpent?"  she tilts her head..
[20:52:30] <Lesieli> "Mmmm, I guess.  Still gonna get wet though"
[20:52:33] <Melons> "Nothing, when are we going?"
[20:54:12] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "Now!  Or maybe later, but I'd prefer now!"
[20:55:12] <Melons> "Then let's go." Melkini already equipped...that's...still pretty embarrassing...whatever. Mel texts Mirai to inform her that they're going to go drown and talk to fishpeople to try to learn things about angry gods as a headsup.
[20:57:42] <Lesieli> You know, you don't have to wear the bikini just because we're going swimming.  Almost seems like you're looking for an excuse to wear it~
[20:58:37] <Melons> THAT'S NOT TRUE AT AL- maybe a little bit. Obviously it's just too much work to return to the boat.
[20:59:56] * Med spends this important time texting Lecia. [does out boat have a submarine mode?]
[21:01:48] <Cerise> "Uhm, if we need to go swimming, I need to change, so maybe why don't we meet in a few minutes somewhere?"
[21:03:03] <Lecia> A prompt reply! [Of course it does! ...Please don't accidentally flood the ship! Also, it's still kinda big, so maybe it isn't the MOST useful thing...but it's there!]
[21:03:38] <Med> "Our ship's a submarine!"
[21:04:06] <Melons> "Because fuck subtlety."
[21:05:18] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Naamaka nods.  "Well okay!  I'll wait here until everyone's ready to move out."
[21:05:36] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "...but my time's limited, so don't take too long."
[21:06:57] * Cerise runs back to her former ship, puts on a swimsuit, grabs ALL HER STUFF, and comes back. :D
[21:07:01] <Melons> "...will you tell me anything more about that god stuff if I just wait here?"
[21:10:14] <~Aori_Radidjiu> She scrunches her face a bit in thought, then shakes her head.  "Nuh-uh!"
[21:10:19] * Med totes stays there too. Maybe she's secretly wearing a swimsuit under her clothes?!
[21:10:54] <Melons> "Oh good...can you at LEAST tell me if you know anything about a god that's kind of like a crashing reality?"
[21:11:56] * Lesieli tries to remember the last time she wore a swimsuit.
[21:14:08] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "A lot of them are crashing, be specific!  There's Kanaloa and Fuujin and I thought Mele but I guess Mele's okay? Those are the ones I know offhand, since they share territory with me!"
[21:15:09] <Melons> "Nono, like a corrupted thing...like...an MC E- that has no meaning to you...it's like the laws of physics are angry and also sentient."
[21:15:16] <Melons> *not like a corrupted thing
[21:15:48] * Lesieli is too busy being an airhead to react
[21:17:06] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "Imsi'e?  Now I want to know!"
[21:17:34] <Melons> "I don't think it's local...at least I've never even remotely heard of anything like it..."
[21:18:11] <Med> "Ooh! Ooh! I could ask my brother!"
[21:18:20] <Med> "Oh. Wait. I hate you. Nevermind!~" :3
[21:18:41] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "As for laws being broken...there's the garbled up bits of Akasha!  The origin library has been really wonky lately, I can't get a lot of information I want out of it!"
[21:18:56] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "That's why I don't know who's causing whatever's happening to Kanaloa!"
[21:19:56] * Melons is trying very hard not to telekinettack Med. "Seen anything like...monster children? Or purple smoke stuff? Or monster children being eaten by holes in reality?"
[21:20:17] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "That sounds like the Nightmare in the Dream World!"
[21:20:34] <Melons> "Soyouknowsomething?!"
[21:25:43] <~Aori_Radidjiu> She nods.  "The Dream World has many varying forms and places, and is the intermediary between the root of all where the gods and all origins reside, and the many realities that are born from roots!  But despite the variations in dream worlds and their connections to many worlds, there's one constant linking all the little dream worlds together, the gap between those worlds, the Eternal
[21:25:44] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Nightmare!  That's where things that have ceased to exist or rejected their own existence are damned to!  Many of them appear as lost children, that merely want friends to join them and ease their suffering!  I haven't really ever been there, but every now and then a pack of those children come loose and start mucking up the more normal parts of the Dream Worlds, trying to turn them into
[21:25:44] <~Aori_Radidjiu> part of the Nightmare!"
[21:27:15] <Med> "But if they stopped existing, how come they still exist?"
[21:27:17] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "There was a lot of commotion in the Dream World recently, but the lady who keeps the dream worlds together went and got some kids to fix it, so it's a-ok!"
[21:27:42] <Melons> "So...what does it mean if the literal nothing starts killing them and then announces in more broken reality in a way I'm not entirely certain I perceived that it found me?"
[21:28:38] <~Aori_Radidjiu> She blinks.  "One at a time~!"
[21:28:47] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "I'll answer Med's question first!"
[21:29:08] <Melons> >:(
[21:30:22] <Med> >;3
[21:30:35] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "You know how you write things on paper with pencil, right?  You write words and can create stories and thoughts by putting them down on a paper!  But what if you screwed up what you wrote?  You'd erase it with that bit of rubber, right?"
[21:32:20] <~Aori_Radidjiu> She makes a motion like erasing with a pencil, rubbin g back and forth.  "You'd rub and rub and rub and rub away the wrong thing until it's not there anymore,a nd write something over it, right?"
[21:32:46] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "...but it's still there!  You still left a smudge on the piece of paper, and you can never truly completely erase it!"
[21:34:59] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "...and that's why there's those lost children in the Eternal Nightmare, because you can't erase something completely, you can only remove it from view or distort it, really!"
[21:36:30] <Med> "So they haven't stopped existing at all! Who put them there, then?" :o
[21:37:28] <Cerise> "It was me all along! Bwahahaha!"
[21:37:41] * Cerise wraps her arms around Med from behind, having returned!
[21:37:48] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "I don't know!"  :D
[21:37:48] <Med> "Eep!"
[21:37:54] <Cerise> "What did I just confess to putting somewhere?"
[21:37:54] * Melons mouths something about a bitch getting another question.
[21:37:56] <Med> 1d6-1 med's not actually afraid. why would shadows be afraid.
[21:37:57] <DiceMaid-9001> Med, med's not actually afraid. why would shadows be afraid.: 5 [1d6=6]
[21:38:03] <Med> 6d6+6+2 still dorbs though
[21:38:03] <DiceMaid-9001> Med, still dorbs though: 32 [6d6=4,3,4,2,6,5]
[21:38:18] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "I'm a goddess of the sea, not a goddess of time or dimensions or dreams!"
[21:38:31] <Melons> "Howaboutmyquestionnow?!"
[21:39:39] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "Miss Cherryblossom, you confessed to putting the lost, tormented children into an infinite expanse of void where nothing should exist and all attempts to return to naught!"
[21:39:53] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "Some people might be mad at you!"
[21:40:19] * Melons makes a mental note to actually play with them a little next time maybe.
[21:40:28] <Med> "Metathingies that don't exist anymore but still do," Med explains perfectly to Cerise.
[21:40:54] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "Anyway, Miss Melons!"
[21:41:21] <Melons> Ohgodnotthatnickname,whydiditcomeback. ;-;
[21:41:38] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "The children are the most common sort of anomaly in the Eternal Nightmare, but not the only one!  There are others, too, which take myriad other forms!"
[21:41:51] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "...andd that's all I really know, that place isn't my area of expertise."
[21:42:33] <Melons> Making me wait for fucking NOTHING!. "Wonderfuckingful. Are we swimming now?"
[21:44:44] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "As soon as everyone's ready to jump in the water!"
[21:45:18] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Heath's returned in a pair of swimming trunks, and is not wearing his headphones for the first time in...ever.
[21:45:50] <~Aori_Radidjiu> He nervously tugs at one of his ears every now and then.
[21:46:44] * Melons begins the awkward process of checking her phone nearly every minute for a potential text from Mirai while waiting.
[21:47:20] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Mirai isn't responding.
[21:47:47] <Melons> Escalate to worry. Oh wait, she was already there. She never responds. She hates me. ;-;
[21:47:52] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "If any of you don't have swimwear, I could make you swimwear!"
[21:48:35] <Cerise> "W-what? Why didn't you say that EARLIER!"
[21:48:43] <Med> 1d100 IS med actually wearing a swimsuit under her clothes?!
[21:48:44] <DiceMaid-9001> Med, IS med actually wearing a swimsuit under her clothes?!: 88 [1d100=88]
[21:50:14] * Cerise is wearing a fairly modest floral-pattern bikini top and bikini shorts.
[21:51:51] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "Well, I mean kind of literally.  Like, turn you into a fish.  Or a mermaid.  Or maybe some other hybrid forme.  Anyone up for experimentation?"  Her eyes sparkle.
[21:52:22] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "When I say 'make you swimwear', I mean 'make you swimwear'."
[21:52:25] <Melons> "...sure."
[21:52:37] <Lesieli> "Ooh, I'd love to see that~"
[21:53:22] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "Okay!  Experiment subjects, get your feet in the water~.  Everyone else, get your feet in the water, so you can get in the water!"
[21:53:47] <Melons> "...you mean test subjects?" Feet Status: submerged.
[21:54:24] <Lesieli> "Oh nonono, not on me, I just wanna see it.  I think.  Do I really gotta swim?"
[21:54:50] * Lesieli has probably not owned a swimsuit in half a decade
[21:54:53] * Cerise gets in the water, but not to be experimented on >:c
[21:54:54] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "You really gotta' swim."
[21:55:07] * Melons sends Reeve out and tells him to carry Lesieli.
[21:55:17] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "I thought you used to like being an eel or something."
[21:55:33] <Melons> "...what?"
[21:55:51] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "Not you, the other one without a swimsuit."
[21:55:53] <Lesieli> "What"
[21:56:08] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "Yes you."  She looks directly into Lesieli's eyes.
[21:56:20] <Melons> Apparently Melkinis are not for swimming.
[21:56:44] <Lesieli> "Not that I'm aware of.  Well, I mean, I think there was a flash game like that I played once . . ."
[21:57:36] <Melons> 4d6+4 Are there any eel-based Wackoneese gods?
[21:57:37] <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Are there any eel-based Wackoneese gods?: 17 [4d6=3,3,6,1]
[21:58:54] <Lesieli> 5d6+8 Ditto?
[21:58:55] <DiceMaid-9001> Lesieli, Ditto?: 22 [5d6=1,3,5,4,1]
[21:59:18] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "...maybe I'm misremembering, my memory on you is really hazy"
[21:59:19] <Lesieli> (. . . same question, I mean.  Gotta stop using that word so much when talking pokemon)
[22:02:49] <~Aori_Radidjiu> There's the puhi variety of 'aumakua, guardian eel spirits.  But Naamaka keeps going on.  "Maybe it was a shark instead?  Or maybe you didn't go on land.  Uuuugh."
[22:02:55] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "...where have you been, anyway?
[22:02:55] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "
[22:03:55] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "...er, didn't go on sea.   That is.  Sea.  You stayed on land for sea.  maybe?"
[22:04:06] <~Aori_Radidjiu> She shakes her head.   "I'm starting to get a headache."
[22:04:16] * Melons rubs Reeve's skull lovingly as she waits. "If you're going to transform me...can it be something that isn't like...any of those things you said?"
[22:04:20] <Lesieli> "Before this PIRATES adventure?  Chilling on the comp at home, mostly.  Occasional forays out to try and get the masses to recognize my greatness, but to no avail.  The poor fools."
[22:04:50] <Cerise> "Aw, I recognize your greatness!"
[22:05:04] <Melons> "I'll wait for her to do something great. Or at least constructive."
[22:05:31] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "Oh right, you!"
[22:05:41] <~Aori_Radidjiu> She turns to Mel and snaps her fingers.  "Here goes!"
[22:05:45] <~Aori_Radidjiu> 1d100 shenanigans
[22:05:46] <DiceMaid-9001> Aori_Radidjiu, shenanigans: 14 [1d100=14]
[22:05:52] <~Aori_Radidjiu> excellent
[22:06:26] * Melons should probably have created a will or something. She's going to end up as a fish without gills.
[22:06:27] <Cerise> ( this is now Mel: http://neilblr.com/post/58490668107 )
[22:06:40] <Melons> (Pls no)
[22:07:44] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Mel shrinks to a size you could fit into your palm and ends up looking like http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=1043669 but green instead of red.
[22:08:49] <Melons> (Long as we don't draw nips, it's safe)
[22:09:18] <~Aori_Radidjiu> The blue babe smiles (her teeth sparkling) and claps her hands.  "Perfect!  You're now something I'd love to have swimming in my seas~"
[22:09:37] <~Aori_Radidjiu> (if it was really high I was just going to flat out turn you into a fish)
[22:09:48] * Melons is disoriented as fuck and breathing water and ohgodohgodshe'stiny and tries to shout expletives but you can't sound very well in water. Presumably.
[22:09:55] <Lesieli> (Don't forget the voiced version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nH6ya5g2-s)
[22:10:34] * Lesieli bugs out with happiness.  SO CUTE~~~
[22:10:52] * Melons is pretty sure her boneworm is going to eat her OHGOD!
[22:11:21] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Reeve is a little confused as to where mommy went, but doesn't seem too stressed out over it.
[22:11:58] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "Anyone else?"
[22:13:17] <Med> 4d6-1 what does double bikini mean (fashion ed)
[22:13:18] <DiceMaid-9001> Med, what does double bikini mean (fashion ed): 11 [4d6=4,2,5,1]
[22:14:42] <~Aori_Radidjiu> It means you wear a bikini and then wear one of those light, semi-transparent skirts over your bottom and a similar top over your top.
[22:15:06] <Med> so probably not something she'd wear under a dress shirt and shorts!
[22:15:10] * Melons has her arms crossed as fuck to hide her shame. But her shame is infinite.
[22:15:52] <Med> 1d100 BIKINI REROLL THEN
[22:15:53] <DiceMaid-9001> Med, BIKINI REROLL THEN: 18 [1d100=18]
[22:16:07] * Melons also figures she should go hide within Reeve for her own protection. Being tiny SUCKS.
[22:16:12] <~Aori_Radidjiu> sidetie?
[22:16:22] <Melons> Dat awkward and clumsy fishtail.
[22:16:25] <Lesieli> "I'll just . . . tag onto ghostserpent here I think, but thanks"  She's busy observing the crap outta transformed Mel, in a purely scientific way of course.  So fascinating~  So adorable~
[22:16:57] <~Aori_Radidjiu> 3d6 gyaradosperception
[22:16:58] <DiceMaid-9001> Aori_Radidjiu, gyaradosperception: 9 [3d6=1,5,3]
[22:17:16] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Can't find Mel.
[22:17:24] <Med> "I have a swimsuit, see?"
[22:17:29] * Med STARTS UNDRESSING OH GOD
[22:17:44] * Melons evades Lesieli's gaze to go hide in Reeve's skull.
[22:18:19] <Lesieli> YOU CAN"T HIDE FROM ME- ok yeah you can, I ain't hoppin in there until I absolutely have to.
[22:18:28] <Med> "Hey Knives, hold my stuff!" she gives her clothes to the pawniard.
[22:18:31] <Melons> Not before sticking her tongue out. Damn, this is tiring.
[22:20:19] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "Hmmmm, Miss Mele, I could give you a little push with that, if you wnat~.  Not any shapeshifting, but..."
[22:20:35] * Cerise takes pictures of tiny fishmel with her phone.
[22:23:37] <~Aori_Radidjiu> She decides as an example, she snaps her fingers and turns her one-piece dress into a form-fitting sort of swimsuitdress, with frills on the sleeves and hips.  "Something like this?"
[22:24:38] <Lesieli> "Hmmmm, I suppose that'd be ok."  She doesn't even stop to look, too preoccupied still trying to observe fishmel and mentally comparing her to all known species of animal or pokemon she can think of, real or not.
[22:25:13] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Snap.  Yellow-white onepiece swimsuitdress for Lesieli.
[22:25:21] * Melons pokes her head out of an eye-socket to see what's taking so long.
[22:25:35] * Lesieli takes about 30-45 seconds to realize the change
[22:25:37] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "All right, let's go!"  the goddess finally stops dawdling and jumps in the water
[22:28:57] <~Aori_Radidjiu> The group follows along into the cove, jumping off the beach (yes, the bar was on the beachside) and swimming towards a cove, led by the goddess.  There.  </session>
[22:29:31] <Lesieli> Wheee, swimming, or lack thereof by hanging onto a giant skeletal serpent.  How fun~
[22:29:49] * Med also returns Knives before going swimming. Knives now has a MedOutfit as a Held Item!!
