[video and action]

Who: Lance and you!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Iskaulit
When: Today

[video]

[Hello, ladies. And gentlemen. And anyone in between, and anyone not any of the above. The video screen is currently showing a dripping wet, shirtless Lance. However, the baffled look on his face is enough to show that this isn't some kind of accidental broadcast of a racy video meant to be sent to one person.]

Okay, so, uh... I think I'm kind of in a pickle right now. Glitches happen here, right? I mean, obviously they do. I've never had them happen to me before, though. Buuuuuuut... So here I am, right as rain, having a totally normal day. Routine. Average. Nothing out of the ordinary. But then! Then I step into the shower--

[And he gestures around himself. He's obviously in one of the standard fleet shower stalls.]

Turn on the water, and, er... Fall. But I didn't trip, not exactly. Tripping implies you have legs to trip on.

[He tilts the camera lower on his body. Don't worry, he might be technically naked, but he's not flashing anyone. Instead of his usual long legs, he has a tail now, much like a fish's. It's a rich blue color, just as his armor is. Said tail gives a sad flop against the wet shower floor. He brings the camera back to his face. And in fact, if you look carefully, there's something much like gills on the sides of his neck.]

...Surprise?



[action]

[Once he's actually not stuck in a shower stall, Lance is much happier. Especially now that he has the entire length of the Iskaulit pool to move freely in. It's taken him a little time to get used to how to swim with his new tail and breathe properly underwater, but now that he's gotten the hang of it, Lance is nothing short of exhilarated. After all, it's always been one of his dreams to be a merman. And now, he is! He'll think about all the logistics a little later, but this is something he's definitely going to take advantage of as long as this glitch lasts.

Come say hi! Swim with him! Admire his beautiful shiny blue merman tail!]

Good plan, let me know if you need help. And yeah, pretty sure the pool will work until this wears off.

Do you think you can breathe underwater?
alwayscomeback: DNS (Heck yeah I'm awesome)

[Lance, don't poke them, you don't know where your hands have been. ]

Well, at least that means you can hang in the swimming pool and do stuff like sleeping without worrying about drowning.

[That doesn't make it any better, Twin. ]

I know, right! You could make a bed out of...like, kelp or something.

[Sure, just drag kelp into the swimming pool, it'll be fine. ]

What a missed opportunity. Maybe there's a good kelp-like substitute in the gardens?

I can go check, if you want. I also don't mind if people yell at me for stealing plants.

[Because he generally doesn't go in there, because who eats vegetables?? ]
alwayscomeback: DNS (I dunno that sounds fake)

[personal profile] alwayscomeback 2018-03-08 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah, because I totally give out the vibes of a guy who wants a lot of plants in his life. That's me.

[NO MEAT WILL HELP THAT. He's like 80% sure of it. ]

I'm not allowed to have cactus any more. Katara made a point of that one.

I was flying to places I had never seen before and will never see again.

Thank you, thank you. I try.
