[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.**

**he just freezes awkwardly while the mermaids yell at each other. oh god why did I do this thing**

Haaah? Why do they wear STUFF on their bodies then? And no legs! It's dangerous, sister! How did you even get up there?

[Yeah, he's just... frozen awkward right with Kaito. Seriously, what do you even do when this happens?]

[aqualoid.livejournal.com]

This guy pulled me up! [It was kind of fun and new, so she's not to upset about that.]

[aqualoid.livejournal.com]

HE WANTS TO EAT YOU.

[futureforbirds]

Wh-what? I do not!

[aqualoid.livejournal.com]

He wants to--?!

[She looks over at him in alarm. Sure, he could probably afford to eat a little more, but...!]

[deteriorated]

[Cutting in:]

He... he really doesn't. Really!

[futureforbirds]

That would be like...

... Half-cannibalism.

[Master, why are you even saying that. This face, he's giving it to you.]

[futureforbirds]

**WHAT. HALF-CANNIBALISM IS BAD.**

[synthesice.livejournal.com]

[This is true, but please don't even think about it.]

[aqualoid.livejournal.com]

[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?
