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 come mock talk to the mermaid, she'll be in the pool all day, then will wake up in her bed again on the 16th.]

"None that matter," Kate replied truthfully. Even if she had anything pressing, she would have put it off to be there for Alexis as long as the girl might need her.

"To be honest? This place isn't really keeping me that busy." Besides exploring and looking for a way out, Kate didn't have anything to do. She wasn't planning on getting a job and she sure as hell wasn't settling in, so her days were mostly spend exploring rooms and learning about as much of the castle as she could.

Kate wrinkled her forehead, moving forward so she could still see Alexis' face.

"What do you mean? Like..." She frowned. "Castle told me he wrote some books back home but I don't... I don't know what he's talking about."
