Into the Deep (Semi-Lit Mermaid Roleplay) OPEN FOR POSTING

[olivionary]

Bobbie| Queen of the Cliff Tribe | Nina; Juliana
Bobbie looked up from her shellfish with a deep breath she sang for the tribe to join her on the shore to eat. She splashed her tail in the water as she leant her shoulders back, soaking up the sun on her face - ensuring her tail remained submerged.

Rebekah | Loner - lives near Low Country | Alone; open
Rebekah swam slowly, considering her actions for the day ahead. She was a sorry sight indeed with her messed up tail from exposure to the sun and scars from tussles with who knows what. She was silent as she swam, her voice was an embarrassment to her and made any excuse to avoid singing.

Charlotte | Reef Tribe | Tagging, Lydia, Elizabeth, Claire

Charlie laughed. "Says the girl who found a conch," she teased. She waved at Elizabeth. "Come on over!" she called again, struggling to crack a particularly stubborn scallop open. It took several hits, but she finally managed to crack it. She used the crack to pull the shell open, then slurped happily down the meat inside. When she was human, she'd hated seafood, but as soon as she'd entered the water, she'd craved it. Charlotte supposed it was part of the magic, and a part she was very grateful for.

Ekene | Queen of the Lowcountry Tribe | Tagging Talia, Constella, Augustina

Ekene looked over at Talia, relieved she didn't suspect anything. She started to sing again, an quiet, fast melody to warn Constella they were coming. As the creek got shallower, she swam slower, working her way through the cordcrass and ploughmud. She finally spotted the shallow pool where they slept, and pulled herself into a sitting position, dumping the clump of oysters onto the shore.

"Breakfast," she said to the two others, reaching for a rock to smash the oysters open.

Annabelle Beina | Human | Female | Tagging, Sam

Anna held a stack of flyers against her chest, eyeing the employee warily. A surf shop was a good place to start, she supposed, and she couldn't get cold feet now. She smiled warmly at the boy.

"Hello, my name's Annabelle Beina. That's Bay-na. I'm here today to ask you if you've seen anything odd out on the water."

Lydia Stone/Queen of Reef Tribe/Tagged: Charlotte, Elizabeth
"That was nothing compared to the time you found a whole bed of pearl oysters! There were enough pearls for us all to make necklaces!" Lydia shot back, finishing her scallop. She leaned back and enjoyed the feeling of the sun on her face and torso. She would have sung with happiness, but it was too risky out of the water. A human might hear and come looking for the song's source.

Samuel Stone/Human/Tagged: Annabelle
"Hmm.. Nothing out of the ordinary today. What kind of things are you looking for?" Samuel replie to the girl's question, slightly curious. "I'm Samuel Stone, by the way, but you can just call me Sam."

Nina laid at the bottom of the ocean on a flat rock, her tail spread out infront of her as she watched schools of fish swim above her. Their scales glimmering like diamonds when they captured the rays of light. Smiling she closed her eyes as the tides rocked her into a slumber that only stopped when she heard a low melody. Blinking her eyes open she sat up, her silver eyes searched for any sign of her Queen nearby. Maybe she wouldn't have to get up? Huffing she pushed herself off of the rock, startling the peacefulness around her and throwing the fish into chaos. Passing them she gasped fresh air as her head bobbed out of the water. Looking around her eyes landed on the shore where Bobbie's figure laid sunbathing. Dipping back into the water she flicked her tail and bolted to the shore.

Unlike her leader who's tail was the only thing in the water, Nina laid in it. Giving a shy smile to Bobbie she laid her stomach on the soft sand. Keeping her head of water were her elbows that she laid on, she always loved watching her hair as it flowed forwards and backwards with the waves. Almost like it had a life of it's own.

(Sorry I was at freshman orientation)

Elizabeth looks at them and says, "It is an amazing day!" She gets back in the water and swims over to them. "So, what do you two plan on doing today?" She asks in a sweet tone. I plan on helping some creatures in danger today.

Talia | Lowcountry Tribe | Tagged : Ekene, Constella

Talia swam over to the shore, pulling herself up to sit, her tail still resting in the water. She looked at the clump of oysters that Ekene had put down before grabbing one and finding a rock to smash it open. "Thanks, Ekene!" She said, her stomach rumbling as she started to eat, then looked around. "It's a pretty nice day." She noted, looking at the sky. "Are we going to do anything exciting? That could be fun." She grinned at both Ekene and Constella, wondering what the rest of the day would bring.

Bobbie| Queen of the Cliff Tribe | Nina; Juliana
Bobbie looked around for Juliana as she saw Nina coming towards the shore. She smiled politely back at the older mermaid before offering her the net of shellfish, "Would you like any?" She asked as the seal pup moved away further up the beach, she flicked her brown tail slightly as she followed it with her eyes. She looked back to Nina, awaiting a response.



Rebekah | Loner - lives near Low Country | Alone; open
Rebekah swam slowly, considering her actions for the day ahead. She was a sorry sight indeed with her messed up tail from exposure to the sun and scars from tussles with who knows what. She was silent as she swam, her voice was an embarrassment to her and made any excuse to avoid singing.

Nina reached out a hand toward Bobbie, palm up. "Yes, please." she said quietly. Her tail flicking underneath the waves causing water to sprinkle over the two of them. "Where'd you get that though?" her grey eyes traveled to the net Bobbie held in her hand. Next time she was hungry, she was gonna have to search for those. The prey already caught as it floated in the ocean. Licking her lips, her gaze flickered back to Bobbie's as she waited for the queen to hand over some of the shellfish she had.

Charlotte | Reef Tribe | Tagging, Lydia, Elizabeth, Claire

"Well, I know you'll be swimming around trying to help trapped animals," Charlie teased Elizabeth, starting to try and crack another conch. "We could cut another trawling net. The bycatch, my god..." She pried the meat out of the shell with her fingers, slurping it down happily and licking her fingers. She looked up at the sky. "Ah, it's nice and sunny today."

Ekene | Queen of the Lowcountry Tribe | Tagging Talia, Constella

"Well, it has been a month since we sunk a boat," Ekene said, looking over Talia with excitement. "We could look around, see if we can find anything worthy. Nothing too big...and we'll have to make it appear like some sort of accident. But there's so many tourists who don't know how to drive boats, or even swim, zipping around the harbor. They probably won't be too suspicious."

Summer was always a great time for sinking ships. There were dozens of drownings and shipwrecks already. None of the humans suspected foul play when the tribe sunk a boat or two.

Annabelle Beina | Human | Female | Tagging, Sam

"Have you ever heard singing?" Annabelle asked. "There's nothing too crazy for me, I assure you. Anything at all that rubbed you the wrong way...? The way animals were behaving, or someone out at sea that seemed odd?"

Xemara||reef tribe||beach||tagged: Lydia, Elizabeth, and Charlotte
Xemara was up near the beach where they usually ate breakfast. She had found a few pretty shells that she had planned on making into some sort of necklace, but she forgot all about that when she heard a voice she recognized. Although it was a little muffled, Xemara could easily tell it was Charlotte. Swimming up to the surface, Xemara placed both elbows on the sand and used her hands to prop her head up so she could see what was going on. "Oh hey guys! What's up?" Xemara smiled cheerfully and waved.
