week 1, thursday

[sadiskick]

[ It's curfew. It's lockdown. Who knows how much time they have left until they're magically put to sleep somehow?

Meltryllis is at the edge of lake, looking at its murky depths like it'll answer her unspoken questions. She glances at Nic, askance. ]

Are you going to be here for the rest of the night?

[ Her tone hints something, something like, please leave. ]

[inaudibly]

[He really doesn't know what to make of this girl with the purple hair and the crazy leg prosthetic, but he certainly doesn't feel like cooperating with her!!

Nic's just sitting up against the wall, near the gun room. Waiting. He doesn't talk or even bother writing, he just nods that he is, and then raises his eyebrows as if to ask what she's gonna do about it.]

[sadiskick]

[ She looks at him like he's a speck she wants to absorb, but she can't do that here, so!!

She turns her back on him to start going into the water. ]

[inaudibly]

[Well, rude. He sure isn't gonna stop her, mostly because with her back turned he'd have to call out and he's not that interested.

If she stays underwater for a while, though, he will wander over to the water's edge to see what she's doing.]

[sadiskick]

[ She comes back out after she's completely submerged, so it's not too long. She whips her wet hair over her shoulder. ]

I expected something more interesting.

[ She sounds disappointed. ]

[inaudibly]

[Unfortunately for Melt, Nic can't hear her disappointment and thus doesn't fully grasp it. Oh well. He shrugs anyway, before getting out his notebook;]

Dunno how you can even see anything down there
[In the water. Since it's, you know, a lake underground. And it's night.]

[sadiskick]

[ Perhaps it's more fortunate for him that he can't hear what she sounds like.

She understands now. ]

That's part of why. Water should be more clear, more beautiful.

[inaudibly]

There's always the duck pond

[This is probably a joke]

[sadiskick]

[ She can't tell if it's a joke or not. It's hard to read tone in text from someone she doesn't know. ]

That's more my sister's place.

[ She's so rude. ]

[inaudibly]

[Well, it seems reasonable enough to Nic. He doesn't know shit about ponds vs lakes or Melt's sister, so hey. Sure.]

What were you hoping to find down there, anyway?

[sadiskick]

Something beautiful.

[ Or something interesting enough for murky water to hide.

No, she just wanted to see if the life in the lake was affected by curfew magic or not. ]
