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

[olivionary]

Judith • Ekene ; Talia

Judith smiled politely at Talia, 'Hello.' She spoke softly, she watched Timmy for a moment before looking back to Ekene. She paused for a brief monent as she treated the water and remembered names that she hadn't yet came across. 'Actually Ekene,' She looked directly at her old friend, 'I have intentions of staying, permanently, if that was alright with you?' She asked as Timmy swam towards Talia, curious of the new mermaid.

Talia | Lowcountry Tribe | Tagged: Ekene, Judith

Talia smiled at Judith. "Hello!" She said, her focus drifting back to the eel, who had started to swim over to her. She half-listened in on Ekene's and Judith's conversation as she looked at Timmy, trying to play with the eel. When Judith mentioned wanting to stay, she looked up, curious once again. Ekene had said that she and Judith were old friends, but Talia wasn't sure how they had met. She thought it would be interesting to have her in the tribe. She seemed like a nice person. But what she really was wondering was if Judith had been alone all these years, without a tribe.

Charlotte | Reef Tribe | Tagging, Lydia, Xemara, Annabelle, Sam

Charlotte backed away as Lydia grabbed Sam, her eyes wide. Her song shattered. "Lydia!" she cried, hurrying up to the surface. "The timahk! What are you doing? He has to die!" Horror swelled in her gut. This had to be some sort of game. Lydia was perfect, Lydia would never break the timahk. Never.

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

Ekene's smile faded, just a bit. "Oh, stay?" she asked, her tone still lighthearted but a little suspect. "Permanently?" She glanced over at Talia. "Well, if the others are okay with it." She swam a few strokes backwards, her tail flopping lazily through the water. "You never seem to stay anywhere permanently, Judith."

Judith • Ekene ; Talia
'I'm aware.' Judith chuckled light heartedly, 'I feel that it's time that I settle and stop wandering.' She looked at her and Talia, 'I'm getting a bit old for it don't you think? I just want to settle, make some friends.'

Lydia Stone/Queen of Reef Tribe/Tagged: Charlotte, Xemara, Sam
Lydia's head broke the surface, and so did the boys'. When Charlotte cried out, the full force of what she had done came crashing down on her. The Timahk said that all humans that heard the mermaid's song had to die, she knew that. But how could she let her own brother drown? When Charlotte popped up next to her, she looked at her, and said, in a kind of chocked voice,"I couldn't let him die! He... He's my brother."


Samuel Stone/Human/Tagged: Charlotte, Xemara, Lydia
When Samuel's head broke the surface, he took a big gasping breath and finally he could see and think clearly. The girl who had rescued him-he still could hardly think of her as really being his lost sister-seemed to be in anguish for some reason. Another girl popped up and spoke to her, and she replied in a half choked voice.

Prospera||cliff tribe||lounging on the beach||open
Prospera was laying on the beach with her hands behind her head as she stared up at,the bright blue sky. It was so peaceful. Smiling to herself, Prospera began to sing a little to herself. She's been trying to enhance her voice, but it was still the same ole same ole. Feeling the sand in between her fingers and the water washing up on her tail, it was so relaxing. Closing her eyes, her song began to slowly die down to a hum.

Xemara||reef tribe||singing||Sam, Annabelle, Lydia, and Charlotte
Yes! It's working! Xemara grinned to herself as she continued to sing. The girl and the boy were almost out of breath, soon they'd be- wait!? What!? "Lydia!!!!???? What are you doing!?" Xemara quickly swam up to the surface and got there just in time to hear Lydia say that he's her brother. "Huh!?" she gasped in surprise and glanced at the boy shocked. "W-what about the girl?" Xemara reminded them about the girl.

Maya • Tag; Claire

Maya followed her, her tail flicking quickly as she swam after Claire. She looked around contently,although having noticed that Claire had forced a smile, she just tried to appreciate that someone had spoken to her. She used her arms to propell herself forwards, faster.

Claire||The Reef Tribe||Tagged: Maya

Claire turned a sharp right, then a little bit up, then a little bit left. She could see a small reef ahead, she hadn't explored it yet. Knowing that Maya was still behind her, she swam up to the surface looked around and then dove back down. Checking behind her shoulder, she could still see Maya. Finally then met the small reef, colorful and all. Claire immediately started to search for the different fish and the different coral she had seen before in the other reefs.

Talia | Lowcountry Tribe | Tagged: Ekene, Judith

Talia looked between Ekene and Judith, not saying anything. She thought it would be nice to have another mermaid in the tribe, but she didn't think she had much of a say on the matter anyway. She figured it was just better for her to stay out of it for the time being. Though, Judith did seem very nice, and Talia did like the other mermaid's eel. She hoped that Ekene would let Judith join the tribe. It would be more people around, and Talia did like being alone very much. She liked to have people surrounding her. it felt safer, and more comfortable that way.

Charlotte | Reef Tribe | Tagging, Lydia, Xemara, Annabelle, Sam

"Lydia..." Charlie said, looking at the boy in her arms. He was soaking, pale, confused, and painfully human. Dread settled like a weight in her stomach. She didn't want to kill him.

"You're my queen. I love you, I trust you," she began. "But if you save his life, we'll have to drive you away. Or else we'll all be disgraced." Her eyes welled with tears as the words spilled from her. She didn't want to have anyone but Lydia be queen.

"Please. I'll do it, I'll take him far away. Just let me kill him," she begged.

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

"Well, you know you're always welcome here," Ekene said. "How about we and find Constella, and tell her the good news?" She looked over at Talia. "The tribe's small, only the three of us; well, four now." She laughed too loudly for it to be authentic. "It'll be good to have another voice when we sink ships."

There the subject was. Music. Jealousy bubbled in Ekene's gut. Not many mermaids had a voice as strong as hers, and usually she was unrivaled. But Judith was the only mermaid Ekene had ever heard whose voice stood a chance against hers. Ekene couldn't deny her a place in the tribe, it was in the timahk, not to mention common courtesy. But Ekene would have to make sure her position as queen was secure.

Talia | Lowcountry Tribe | Tagged: Ekene, Judith

Talia smiled as Ekene said that Judith could join the tribe. She was glad to hear that the tribe was getting bigger, and Judith seemed to be nice as well. "Yeah, we should go find Constella! I'm sure she'll be happy to hear that!" Talia exclaimed. She knew that Constella enjoyed singing and Talia thought that she would probably be glad to have someone else around to help sink the ships. Talia herself wasn't a very powerful singer at all, so she thought it would be good to have some more power when the tribe sung to sink ships and the like.

As happy as she was, when she looked over towards Ekene, she could tell that the queen was upset or worried about something, but she had no idea what it was. Or maybe she was reading Ekene's facial expression completely wrong. Surely it was a good thing that the Tribe was getting larger, right?
