027: mermaid in the pool!

[xy_venus]

[Zora had awoken early, and as she lay there for a little while, she thought she might have a swim. So, gathering up a suit and everything in a bag, she went down to the pool. She changed, braided her hair, set the journal open on a chaise lounge by the water's edge, just in case, and jumped in. She did two lengths of butterfly, and was

[wakes up to ... HIS OWN BRAIN AND BODY OH THANK GOD. sighs, and then realizes that Z doesn't sound quite right. rolls over and pulls the journal over to the edge of his bedside table]

Yeah, hey ... hey, it's ... it's okay, I'm here. I'm me. Just me. ... What's wrong?

Barney

[xy_venus]

I... think I just started a loss. Could you come down to the pool really quick?

Filtered forevah!

[bro_codebreaker]

Yeah, yeah sure, I'll be right there. [doesn't even change out of his pajama pants, just ... throws on a bathrobe and ... slides down the banisters. what. it's quicker. comes skidding into the pool room and --]

Whoa.

This ... probably isn't a time for tail jokes, is it.

and ever!

[xy_venus]

No, not really. More importantly, could you try and see if the Castle will let you wish me a bikini top? It won't let me.

[it'll let him. It's just having a laugh at her, first.]

[bro_codebreaker]

Sure thing. Hey Castle! As much as I appreciate the view, can we get Zora a nice mermaid-y bikini top? No seashells or anything, just ... pretty.

[and one shows up draped over the railing of the pool stairs. takes off his bathrobe and sits down on the edge of the pool] Ta-dah. ... Need a hand tying it?

[xy_venus]

Thanks, hon.

...do you want to tie it?

[she's sitting on one of the pool stairs - she could scoot up one and he could tie it from there without getting wet. Unless he wants to get wet.]

[bro_codebreaker]

Anytime, gorgeous. ... And sure. [beats her to it, and slides down a couple stairs. pajama pants? pff, he doesn't love these. pulls her hair back from her shoulders and ties the top on for her, then kisses her shoulder]

There. Mostly decent.

[xy_venus]

[holds still, keeping the cups in place as he ties it, and then leans into the kiss, before jerking away slightly with a start.]

You're not still possessed, are you?

[bro_codebreaker]

Oh! No, Crowley's, uh ... he's moved on. I have no clue where he went. Hopefully the ...weird circle seal thing that Sam guy did worked. I'm me.

[xy_venus]

Good. [she'll lean back in, then, contented]

[bro_codebreaker]

Trust me, if it had been more than just me up in here, when I first came down? I would've flipped. [puts his arms around her waist and pulls her into his lap]

... Weird question: you think it would've done this if you hadn't told me what you used to do?

[xy_venus]

Mmm... it might have. It probably wouldn't have done this if I hadn't ever, if that makes sense.

[bro_codebreaker]

Kinda? I mean ... I never wrangled meerkats.

[xy_venus]

Yeah, but turning into a small cute furry animal seems to be a fall back option. That, and turning into a little kid, and a gender swap.

[bro_codebreaker]

... Point. Maybe that's why it made me a hippie for a week, that one time, too.

... Did you get breakfast before you came down here?

[xy_venus]

No. Feel like rustling up something for me?
