[Ariel sits in her kiddie pool in the middle of the Room, feeling...feeling...]

[Well, pissed.]

So...how do I get out of here, exactly?

Comments

[mr_j_prongs]

...Nice pool.

[what_is_a_fire]

[Ariel sighs, blowing a strand of hair out of her face.]

Do you have any other suggestions?

[mr_j_prongs]

No. I just think a kiddie pool is a nice touch.

[what_is_a_fire]

And the one thing keeping me alive in this place...

You never answered my question. How do I get out of here, exactly? I've got things to do, fish to see, places to explore...

...humans to stalk...

[not_a_guppy]

I can help, Ariel.

Can't I?

[what_is_a_fire]

Flounder!

Help me find a way back home!

[not_a_guppy]

[Flounder looks at her, then looks at her pool, and bends down, throwing all of his energy into trying to pull. It moves an inch or two.] Like this?

[what_is_a_fire]

[She sighs.] Not exactly.

Oh, it looks like I'm stuck here!!

[failed_bluff]

[Pause. Head-tilt. Annnnd he will rudely flick the ashes of his cigarette into your pool like a jerk, Ariel.]

Looks like you don't.

OUTSIDERS.

[what_is_a_fire]

[Ariel gasps, trying to toss the ashy water out of her pool.]

That wasn't very nice!! I don't go polluting your...air!!

My inner middle schooler couldn't help it. :3

[failed_bluff]

[He gives a feral grin and takes another drag of his cigarette, ever so kindly flicking the ashes elsewhere this time.]

I'm never nice. Besides, I think I'm already doin' a pretty good job of polluting the air.

My inner preschooler couldn't help creating Ariel...I so understand.

[what_is_a_fire]

Never nice?

[Well, that's only a Disney princess's worst nightmare...]

You should be nice. Especially to me, seeing as I'm a princess.

And what are you? A merchant?
