Ereni's short blond hair danced lightly in the water as she moved her body forward to inspect something closer. She moved it around in her hands. It was shiny and flat. It had wrinkles, but she could not flatten them for it was too hard a surface. She did not know what it was, not it's use, but she shoved it in her bag and swam on. She flowed with the current, caring not where it took her. The random assortment of jewelry on her neck reflected the light from the surface of the water. She was swimming quite close to the shore, not thinking to fear anything.

Antigone stood unmoving at a river banks edge. The water passed over her feet, and occasionally a fish would nibble her toe, but she did not seem to notice. Her gaze was fixed on the bank on the other side of the river. Staring seemingly at nothing. Then she began to move. Her feet seemed to walk on the water, never once getting the rest of her body wet. Once on the other side, she bent down and picked up a stone. She held it in her hand as she started to walk along said bank. Face void of any expression.

Drake Altador

Merman
Tagged: Dylan.

Drake hesitated slightly, after seeing the kelpie's reaction to him offering help - but at least they had now calmed down. Besides, he didn't mind lending a hand for a few moments, since this shouldn't take too long. Admittedly, he didn't recognise or know exactly who the kelpie was, but they were someone in need, so he felt obliged to help. Unless the other being was a human, then he didn't have any qualms.

He knew that the kelpie was looking him over, and Drake approached, starting to pull away the seaweed, untangling it from the kelpie. Some of it was stronger than he'd expected, like it was unwilling to let go, but he did soon manage to completely untangle the kelpie.
"There we go..." Drake said, quietly, once he'd finished.

Pandora Altador
24|Female|Bisexual
Mermaid
Tagged: Ereni.

Pandora swam with the currents, at first wondering for a few moments where her brother had gotten to - she wanted to tell him about what she saw - but then she decided that could wait until later. She let herself take in the sights of the coral and other sea creatures as they swam around, enjoying the atmosphere. It was just so... calm. But there was always the concern of humans lingering in the back of her mind. She did not hold high opinions of humans at all. In fact, they didn't even rank above seaweed, in her mind. They were so destructive and cruel. She shook her head, shaking the thoughts away. Now was not the time to be negative.

Soon, Pandora spotted another mermaid, looking as though she was somewhere a little close to the shore of the island. Concerned, she swam over, and quickly recognised the mermaid as Ereni.
"Hello, Ereni," Pandora greeted, warmly, then went straight into asking, concerned, "what are you doing so close to the shore? Are you hurt?"

Lyle/selkie/19/tags: Katja, Anahita

Lyle, having successfully made it onto the ship, quietly dragged himself along with his flippers. The girl who owned the boat luckily seemed more distracted with speaking to the nereid to notice his closer appearance, though he himself was having a harder time moving because of it. Was the notebook really worth shifting for? The seal gave a light whine, hopping closer to the pages. Before he could take a look at them though, the wind blew the page over. Lyle stiffened and shed his sealskin, grabbing at the book before it could be pushed towards the sea. He would rather show his humanoid form than get blamed for such a thing as loosing it- and not that it was in his hands, the brunet studied the sketch. The few words on the page were lost on him, only having attended learning sessions a few times, but the drawing of the island itself was better than what he could do. The selkie stood up shakily on the boat. He wore loose trousers that matched the grand coat upon this shoulders, which both matched the grey-brown fur of the seal.

James Peterson/human (both motives)/21/tags: Ereni, Pandora

James had just docked his small boat not too far away and was now perched upon a few rocks, leaning forward with his waterproof camera. His main goal right now were the rare colourful fish he saw in a shallow waters, and now that he was swimming, the man caught some unforgettable pictures. He did his best not to distrurb the sea life, but he immediately stopped where he was when he saw an inhuman figure swim by him. He almost lost the breath he was holding, even- someone had to have been playing a trick on him. Sea creatures- at least like that- didn’t actually exist, did they? Just as he blinked a couple of times to clear the completely hallucinationated image from his head, another one approached the first.

[[ooc; let me know if Ereni's dialogue color is too bright. Also, you can make up what the "trinket" is if you want]]

Ereni was snapped out of her day dreams by Pandora's sudden voice and appearance. It took a second or two for her to fully come back to reality. When she did, a huge grim appeared on her face. "Pandora! I'm so glad I swam into you-" she exclaimed, reaching into her bag, too excited to notice Pandora's concerned face or to answer her question. "Look at this" she said, shoving a shiny trinket she found into her face. "I have no idea what it is, but when I saw it, I thought of you right away! Maybe you could make a hair accessory out of it!". She cupped her friend's hands, placing said trinket into them, completely unaware of the human watching from a distance.

- ATHLETA -

Location: The Beach Tags: Chandler

Athleta swam away from the other siren, not wanting to see what the crazy girl was tryig to show her. She swam to the surface, being sure to keep her head low in case the crazy hunter was hanging around. She saw his clothes hanging on a tree and he was nowhere to be seen so she crawled on to the beach and watched her scales return to flesh as she laid on the beach. I wonder who that crazy girl was. Athleta had never seen such a daring siren and knew that was a risk she wasn’t willing to take. Athleta couldn’t be bothered by hunters unless hey came after her. She laid her head into the sand and cloesd her eyes.

Lyle/selkie/19/tags: Katja, Anahita

The selkie sucked in a breath sharply at the sudden sound, finding the muffled space underwater far quieter. The air also seemed much colder, so he tucked his coat closer to himself. As he peered at the woman from his human height, he found that she really wasn’t as tall as she looked from the water. His brown eyes nervously met hers, then Anahita’s upon being seen with the papers. This person seemed to overreact a bit in the next moment and Lyle kneeled down, not wanting to risk falling over. Walking on the boat seemed to be hard for him. “No, I found it on the ship-“ he tried, getting used to the speech pattern compared to that of a seal’s. “I just think it’s pretty.” Lyle commented shyly before raising the notebook to show the picture to both of his companions. “It’s the island, right?” The man’s voice was very soft, but grew more confident as he spoke. His free hand also spent most of its time on the pelt around his shoulders.

Lyle shook his head- he didn’t know if she really had, considering he had just seen her for the first time. “If you care so much about it then I’m sure you didn’t do anything wrong...” He said, his voice somehow matching calming rhythm of the waves. He blinked slowly at Katja’s words, processing them as them ones she had been telling the other seafarer when he had been preparing to hop on board the boat. Clearing his throat, the selkie moved to sit cross-legged. “Yes, but the term research is pretty generic. Is... it us that you’re curious about?” He wondered, meeting Anahita’s gaze from the side of the ship. At the question that was directed at Lyle, though, his eyes widened sharply in surprise. “My name... is Lyle.” The 19-year-old stumbled as he said his name, looking down in embarrassment. It was his name, yes, but due to his practice of solitude and the lack of use of names as a seal, Lyle didn’t always think of it very quickly.
