[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!]

You're a mermaid! How cool! Oh wow, can you- can you breathe underwater?! That's so neat!
monolike: (SOREY GENKI DESU)

Do you need help? I can get you over there, I'm a lot stronger than I look!
monolike: (a discovery!!!!)

[personal profile] monolike 2018-03-12 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
Whoa really? Are there a bunch of stories about merpeople back home?
monolike: (ayyyy lookin atchu)

[personal profile] monolike 2018-03-16 08:30 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, that's a shame. I don't think mermaids are real where I'm from either, though maybe older sailors confused water seraphim for mermaids.

But hey! Now you can be the first one from your world!
monolike: (because im happy)

You overachiever, you. [Cheeky grin] Make sure you take some pictures of you so you have the proof for later! Is there a way to print those out on the ship?
monolike: (ayyyy lookin atchu)

[personal profile] monolike 2018-03-30 07:07 am (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah, Prompto takes really pretty pictures! He'll make you look really good.

Did you guys end up putting the pictures up anywhere, like hanging them up like paintings?
monolike: (i was conceived out of wedlock)

[personal profile] monolike 2018-04-03 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
I totally will! Oh man what a good idea...I'd do the same except Mikleo doesn't show up in pictures. [It'd just be a set of background photos and Sorey doing weird stuff by himself]
monolike: (was not was not)

[personal profile] monolike 2018-04-23 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
I mean...no offense or anything, but that kind of thing happens to me in real life. It's actually not as funny as it sounds. [Wrong, it's hilarious, it's just that Sorey always ends up dealing with the fallout so he's biased]
