[IC] [Old Radio/Waiting in Earth Crossover]

[futureforbirds]

**Their travels bring them back to the cliff overlooking the ruined coastal city. Though it was the first visit for one of their party members - Miku, whom they'd met back at Kaito's home city. Since she acted so young and carefree, Kaito had tried to make their trip over as fun and happy as possible. But now that they were here, with the ghost town in sight, Kaito's smile sobered. This wasn't just a long camping trip. They had to get serious.

He shoved his hands in his pocket as he stared down on it. They'd probably want to pick up the supplies they weren't able to take last time. And more importantly, he really hoped that the boats in the harbor were seaworthy. The knowledge that their radio was in English was an excellent lead, but it meant that they had to get off of this island.**

[Good thing she doesn't quite pick up what that means. Other than it'd mean he would only eat half of her.]

So... you're not, um, a half-cannibalist or anything. Right?

[futureforbirds]

Right, I'm not.

[aqualoid.livejournal.com]

[She calls back down to her sister:]

He says he's not a half-cannibalist!

[aqualoid.livejournal.com]

WELL WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

[aqualoid.livejournal.com]

I don't know, but I think he's not gonna eat me!

[aqualoid.livejournal.com]

Well what does he want then?

[aqualoid.livejournal.com]

[She pauses to think.] I don't know!

[Then, she turns to the Kaito.] What do you want?

[futureforbirds]

... Er... well actually, this was a bit of a misunderstanding...

I didn't think there were people made to live in the ocean, so I thought you were another human like me. And I'm looking for more of my kind, so.

[aqualoid.livejournal.com]

That's why you pulled me up?

[futureforbirds]

Well that and it's kind of dangerous to be swimming in the ocean if you don't have a tail.

[aqualoid.livejournal.com]

It can't be that dangerous. [She eyeballs his legs.] Well, maybe. You look kinda stubby.

[ANYWAY, addressing her sister again:]

He thought I was a human so he brought me on this thing!

[aqualoid.livejournal.com]

So he could molest you?!

[aqualoid.livejournal.com]

Molest me? [She repeats. Back to Kaito again.]

Are you trying to molest me?

[futureforbirds]

No!

Look would it make her feel better if you went back down? I swear I'm not trying to do anything.

[aqualoid.livejournal.com]

I dunno. [She rests her head on her hand, gettin' comfy.] This is kinda fun.

[futureforbirds]

What is? **he's just been averting his eyes the whooole time, by the way**

[aqualoid.livejournal.com]

Watching you be dumb.

[futureforbirds]

... Okay, I think it's time for you to go back.

[aqualoid.livejournal.com]

What? No way! [She hefts herself up with her arms and starts to try and move around.] I wanna explore more!

[futureforbirds]

Crawling around like that?

You'll get sick of it by the time you're across the deck...

[aqualoid.livejournal.com]

SISTER WHY HAVEN'T YOU SAID ANYTHING

HE'S NOT MOLESTING YOU IS HE?!

I'LL COME UP THERE IF I HAVE TO

1/2

[aqualoid.livejournal.com]

I'm still here! [She shouts down.] He hasn't touched me yet!

[And, being the stubborn half-fish she is, she's gonna ignore him and proceed to begin her crawl around. It's... very hard, way harder than she thought. She's trying to use her tail to help push as her arms do the dragging.

Ugh, she can do this, she doesn't way that much, this is nothing...]

[deteriorated]

[Master, are we really going to let her move around the ship like a slug?]

[futureforbirds]

... **doesn't WANT to, at least. It looks really wrong. He whispers**

What do we do? She won't listen to me, and if we touch her, her sister will get mad.

[deteriorated]

[KAITO 'whispers' back,]

Maybe you should talk to her sister?
