28: I'd like to be... under the sea

[xy_venus]

[Zora is in the pool, still... and the journal is open near the edge, so she can hear what's going on. She's forgotten, that, though, as evidenced by the fact that she's begun to sing.]

[Listening from his room, he lets out a laugh.]

How spunky.

[xy_venus]

I - what?

[swims over, and whoops! splashed the page a little.]

Oh, I'm sorry, I'd forgotten this was open.

[lostblacksouls]

[shdjfs just got sprayed by water.]

That seems to be the case most times for people.

[xy_venus]

I really am sorry. I'm stuck in the pool, and I need it to be just in case.

[lostblacksouls]

Stuck in the pool? You can't escape it?

[xy_venus]

I'm on a loss.

...as a mermaid.

[lostblacksouls]

Oh, how beautiful. I wish I could see you~

... What do you mean "on a loss"?

[xy_venus]

I'm not normally a mermaid. Castle thought it would be funny. I'll probably ave my legs back in a week or so. For now? I'm stuck in the pool on the ground floor.

[lostblacksouls]

... So the castle takes things away and replaces them?

[xy_venus]

Have you not been here long?

[lostblacksouls]

Oh no, perhaps a few weeks at most. I've been a little preoccupied.

[xy_venus]

Did no one give you a run-down on the Castle?

[lostblacksouls]

I got a bit of one, but not much.

[xy_venus]

Well, it's one of the personal temporary losses. I think they happen every couple of months or so? Whenever the Castle feels like it, I guess. They're usually not as bad as Castle-wide losses or world changes.

[lostblacksouls]

... So, it's added onto the loss one already has suffered?

[xy_venus]

Yeah, it's an additional one.
