Part of Your Pool
Who: Alexis Castle and YOU
What: She's a mermaid! The castle has given Alexis a loss and she's turned into a mermaid who lives in the pool for a day. As you can imagine, she's completely psyched about this.
When: May 15th
Where: The Pool
Rating: Probably PG at most.
Alexis had gone to bed on the night of the 14th feeling incredibly depressed. The unicorn was gone. She had been ecstatic when a tiny horse with a horn on its head had hatched out of her egg and had spent the last few days running around the castle playing with it and generally acting like a 10 year old.
How could she not? It was a unicorn. It was hers.
But she should have known that her fun wouldn't last forever and that it was silly to get attached to something like a unicorn. It wasn't her pet and she wasn't its mom. Basically, she felt like an idiot, especially because she had cried herself to sleep two nights in a row over it.
When she woke on the 15th, she wondered if she had literally drowned herself in tears because her whole body was wet. It took her a moment to realize that probably meant that something was wrong. Alexis found herself in the pool somehow, which made no sense whatsoever. She couldn't move her legs apart and thought they were bound, though when she kicked them a great rush sent her up to the surface.
Looking down, it all became horribly clear. She was a mermaid.
There was her big blue fish tail and seashell bra, like some awful real-life version of Ariel in The Little Mermaid. Alexis swam to the side of the pool, wondering if maybe this was a dream but knowing that it felt too real to be in her mind. She folded her arms on the edge of the pool and placed her head gently down on top of them.
"Seriously?"
[OOC: Come find her in the pool! She will be a mermaid for the 15th only because I am a merciful mun. Also I'm going to handwaive her making an announcement over the journals that she's a mermaid and wtf is going on. Her journal is laying off to the side of the pool so she can't really use it too much. If you want to comemock talk to the mermaid, she'll be in the pool all day, then will wake up in her bed again on the 16th.]

She was just thinking back on that a little when Alexis asked that question, and a trace of a smile formed again. "Sure, a few times! Let's see... I was a fairy for a month, waaaay back when I was still new here. But that was okay, since Nora-chan got turned into a fairy too."
She let out a fond little giggle, thinking back on all the mischief they got up to. She still missed Nora sometimes, but spending enough time in the castle will do that. A lot of friends end up leaving...
"Then there was one time the castle thought it'd be funny to make me younger on my birthday. Like, a lot younger. I think I was a little kid for a whole week." She gave an annoyed little huff at that, but truthfully, it hadn't been that bad. "And just a few months ago, I was a mermaid, too! So I know what it's like to be stuck here."
Belatedly, she seemed to realize that an awful lot of stuff had happened to her, and she hurried to add one last thing. "But I've been here more than a year! Usually things are pretty normal."

"Wait, it turned you into a mermaid too?"
Now it wasn't just weird to Alexis. It was a conspiracy. Two people getting turned into mermaids in the span of a few months had to mean something.
whoops I fell off the game for a while there...
She pauses to give the mermaid Alexis another once-over look, then grins, "I looked a lot like that, too! Except my tail was pink."
Since the conversation seemed to be going nicely enough, Rise slipped a little closer to the pool. Until she was sitting on the very edge, dipping her feet in. It was the best way she could think of to show a kind of camaraderie with the other girl. She couldn't sidle in next to her on the ground, so she slipped partway in to the pool instead.
"I was stuck out here too, until Wade-san came to get me. But then I was pretty much stuck in my bathtub until it was over..."
