[Static. Static that gives way to a blurry, shaky camera arc, clearing on a section of the wall outside of the Inner City. But like the Animus posts, there's no PCD on the other side of the recording. It just... is, transmitting itself with no apparatus.

The image eventually sharpens. A small fish- mostly green- swims in quick loops, darting around the screen. Considering all the water, it doesn't look out of place.

A single voice finally cuts in, though it fades in and out.]

Hello!

It's much brighter out here.

[Something has left the Inner City.]

No. Thank you. It must not have been easy for you to come here... Thalatte.

Then you know I want to help you, right? [She's trying to reach out for them with her empathy, it's such a particular aura the Animus have. She'd recognize it anywhere.] I think I sense you more clearly now. Is it dangerous for me to come too close?

I see. That's ever braver of you to have tried again.

Good. Some others are coming to meet you too. We'll do our best to make it worth the risk you took to come to us. It means... a lot.

[ooc: Tell me when/if I can switch to offline and if it's okay for Castiel to hop in. Or if you'd rather do it another way. <3]

((OOC: Sure, switch to offline now or when you're ready! And Castiel's good to come along! :3 ))

To be repeated to who?

[Ah. There. She's pretty close. She's using her telekinetic abilities to enhance her speed, because swimming is not going fast enough. And here. That fish. Could it be? Mermaid!Raven stops using her powers and swims slowly to it.]

Hello?

[ooc: Thanks! :D Fran might too. So many people want to meet Thalatte. XD]

[Waits until Raven gets there before replying- seeing her, and swimming over. Being that it's a fish, it doesn't have much expression, but it darts around. In size, it's not much bigger than her hand.]

[Hard work, being coherent.]

((OOC: Everyone's welcome! Even if they don't meet with her here, she'll find them someway.))

[Raven looks a the fish, swimming around her. It reminds her of her kitten now that he's been transformed into some fish. But he's bigger than Thalatte.]

Not wanting to repeat bad things is a very sensible idea.

You're quite smaller than I expected. Is it difficult for you to take a physical form?

[ooc: :D <333]

[Darting in, it nibbles her hand; it doesn't feel like much.]

[Fran swam as fast as his little froggy legs could to the coordinates, giving a small noise of greeting before choosing to float next to Raven, just...staring at this fish.]

...

I would expect that a being like you would be bigger too.

Meaning part of you remained inside the Inner City or that you divided youself into several fishes?

[Raven quirks a quizzical eyebrow at that.] What are you doing exactly? Tasting me?

[So many people. The fish darts over to Fran next- almost too quick to follow, then stops in front of him, staring with blank, fish eyes. In a stab of movement it nips. He might recognize the sensation, but at least it's only one fish this time.

Then it swims lazily back around the three, though it gives a rather stoic look at Castiel (not that it has much range of expression to begin with.

And whenever it speaks, it's like it's coming from inside your head.]

What would you like to know? What would you like us to show you?

[The nip- it does get some surprise, or at least as much surprise as Fran's froggy face can show. It felt exactly like what they did to him in the inner city; even this ocean was similar...]

[Giving a side eye to Castiel and Raven, he refocuses on the fish.]

Shouldn't we be asking you the questions, actually?

You wanted help moving beyond this location; is there somewhere you would like to go?

[Its tail flicks in Fran's direction.]

Where do you live? We want to see it.

[Raven just glances over at Fran. They have to show they don't mean harm. And so it Thalatte wants to see where Fran lives, so be it. But she's not quite sure Fran will agree to it.]

Edited 2011-08-11 23:59 (UTC)

[Fran floats, thinking- and then flips over, pointing a webbed foot.]

In that direction. I thought you said you knew where it was over the PCD...

I didn't know you wanted more people to be a part of the slumber party.

Why did they chase you away?

[The fish swims further ahead, in the right direction, though never gets too far from the group.]

[Raven follows, but at some point she grabs onto Castiel's arm, hoping he won't mind. Because it's easier to keep up that way, he swims more effortlessly than she does. Which seems rather unlogical since fishtails are supposed to be made for that.]

I agree. Collaboration makes each member of a team stronger and usually achieves better results than working alone.

They don't like you because you want to help us?

[Castiel seems to be the go-to guy for transportation, so Fran settles on his back, loosely hanging on.]

Unless your comrades are absolutely useless.

Is there really that much disagreement among all of you?

[Thalatte can't really settle on Castiel herself, but she stays nearby.]
