So high above, I feel it coming down! She said, “In my heart and in my head, tell me why this has to end . ” ( 'MDNI' DNI / MUN IS A MINOR! )

𓆝 ⋆. I can't save us, my Atlantis, we fall ! We built this town on shaky ground.

I can't save us, my Atlantis, oh, no . . We built it up to pull it down

Now all the birds have fled !

[flipping soon @PLUSHSELKIE]

Good concern. Bad people.

[ They nod in understanding ]

[ଳ ♒︎ 𝐓𝚆𝙸𝙻𝙸𝙶𝙷𝚃 ┈ 𝐙𝙾𝙽𝙴 ༄.° @deepveiled]

⠀
nobody has taken anything they shouldn’t yet … but it is still a concern of mine .
⠀

[flipping soon @PLUSHSELKIE]

Evil fishing men ...

[ They nod in understanding, glaring at the boats ]

[ଳ ♒︎ 𝐓𝚆𝙸𝙻𝙸𝙶𝙷𝚃 ┈ 𝐙𝙾𝙽𝙴 ༄.° @deepveiled]

⠀
just me .ᐣ i was watching the fishermen … you never know when one of them will hurt something they weren’t supposed to .
⠀

[flipping soon @PLUSHSELKIE]

Looking for you! I wanted to know what were up to

[ Still a seal, it's almost odd to hear human words coming from them in this form ]

[ଳ ♒︎ 𝐓𝚆𝙸𝙻𝙸𝙶𝙷𝚃 ┈ 𝐙𝙾𝙽𝙴 ༄.° @deepveiled]

⠀
( right . she often forgets to breathe . she is not an actual fish . she needs a longer moment at the surface , however . )

Celia , i must ask … what are you doing all the way out here .ᐣ
⠀

[flipping soon @PLUSHSELKIE]

[ They squeak happily, making their way up to the surface for a brief bit of air ]

[ଳ ♒︎ 𝐓𝚆𝙸𝙻𝙸𝙶𝙷𝚃 ┈ 𝐙𝙾𝙽𝙴 ༄.° @deepveiled]

⠀
( her glowing gets brighter , letting the stronger swimmer do most of the work . )
⠀

[flipping soon @PLUSHSELKIE]

[ It's nice, and comfortable, they'd almost be willing to doze off if not for the fact they weren't curled up in a bed or on the sand ]

[ଳ ♒︎ 𝐓𝚆𝙸𝙻𝙸𝙶𝙷𝚃 ┈ 𝐙𝙾𝙽𝙴 ༄.° @deepveiled]

⠀
( this time , she drifts alongside them , holding their coat to pull her along . )
⠀

[flipping soon @PLUSHSELKIE]

[ they relax, sinking slowly in the water as though terribly weighed down. They weren't, and a moment later swam around in a lazy circle ]

[ଳ ♒︎ 𝐓𝚆𝙸𝙻𝙸𝙶𝙷𝚃 ┈ 𝐙𝙾𝙽𝙴 ༄.° @deepveiled]

⠀
( she smiles , reaching for them again and laying herself over them )
⠀

[flipping soon @PLUSHSELKIE]

[ They try speeding ahead, but are soon caught by her. They squeak and chirp happily, despite their loss, nudging her and biting her gently ]

[ଳ ♒︎ 𝐓𝚆𝙸𝙻𝙸𝙶𝙷𝚃 ┈ 𝐙𝙾𝙽𝙴 ༄.° @deepveiled]

⠀
( her body glows brighter with the excitement of the little game . she swims after them happily , reaching out for them )
⠀

[flipping soon @PLUSHSELKIE]

[ Though they're quite quick in the water, they slow down at times to glance behind them and double check she's still there, making it less of an actual chase and more just her keeping pace with them ]

[ଳ ♒︎ 𝐓𝚆𝙸𝙻𝙸𝙶𝙷𝚃 ┈ 𝐙𝙾𝙽𝙴 ༄.° @deepveiled]

⠀
( keeping up with them , albeit staying a few paces behind to give the illusion of an actual chase )
⠀

[flipping soon @PLUSHSELKIE]

[ They squeak in a giggle-like manner, dashing around just a little bit faster ]

[ଳ ♒︎ 𝐓𝚆𝙸𝙻𝙸𝙶𝙷𝚃 ┈ 𝐙𝙾𝙽𝙴 ༄.° @deepveiled]

⠀
( she waits a beat before swimming after them , chasing them in circles )
⠀

[flipping soon @PLUSHSELKIE]

[ They forgive her in a glance, swimming circles around her again ]

[ଳ ♒︎ 𝐓𝚆𝙸𝙻𝙸𝙶𝙷𝚃 ┈ 𝐙𝙾𝙽𝙴 ༄.° @deepveiled]

⠀
( swimming over , apologetic head pats … 💧)
⠀

[flipping soon @PLUSHSELKIE]

[ they squeak, spinning away from her ]

[ଳ ♒︎ 𝐓𝚆𝙸𝙻𝙸𝙶𝙷𝚃 ┈ 𝐙𝙾𝙽𝙴 ༄.° @deepveiled]

⠀
( a very minor sting . complete accident , that’s just what happens .ᐟ )
⠀

[flipping soon @PLUSHSELKIE]

[ Joyous ocean times, they bite her gently ]

[ଳ ♒︎ 𝐓𝚆𝙸𝙻𝙸𝙶𝙷𝚃 ┈ 𝐙𝙾𝙽𝙴 ༄.° @deepveiled]

⠀
( smiling softly , spinning around them )
⠀

[flipping soon @PLUSHSELKIE]

[ They seem happy, making a content expression ]

[ଳ ♒︎ 𝐓𝚆𝙸𝙻𝙸𝙶𝙷𝚃 ┈ 𝐙𝙾𝙽𝙴 ༄.° @deepveiled]

⠀
( a curious tilt of her head , swimming forward to meet them in the middle )
⠀

[flipping soon @PLUSHSELKIE]

[ They swim off into the depths, disappearing before approaching once more, swimming directly into her ]

[ଳ ♒︎ 𝐓𝚆𝙸𝙻𝙸𝙶𝙷𝚃 ┈ 𝐙𝙾𝙽𝙴 ༄.° @deepveiled]

⠀
( turning as they circle her , faint glow pulsing softly in the dark water )
⠀

[flipping soon @PLUSHSELKIE]

[ there's a soft bark through the water, the seal swimming a circle around the other ]

[ଳ ♒︎ 𝐓𝚆𝙸𝙻𝙸𝙶𝙷𝚃 ┈ 𝐙𝙾𝙽𝙴 ༄.° @deepveiled]

⠀
( glowing faintly , turning over to face her . blink blink . )
⠀

[flipping soon @PLUSHSELKIE]

[ a seal approaches from the depths, offering a friendly nudge ]

[ଳ ♒︎ 𝐓𝚆𝙸𝙻𝙸𝙶𝙷𝚃 ┈ 𝐙𝙾𝙽𝙴 ༄.° @deepveiled]

⠀
( swimming around near the docks , ignoring fishermen and boats )
⠀

[MERKY @Im_Merky]

(looks outside) ugh...
honey the seals are fucking flying again..

[MERKY @Im_Merky]

smelly little baby caught crying out for food.

[flipping soon @PLUSHSELKIE]

"Almost. Yes.. uh.. kind of?"

They're not sure how honest to be.

[˚₊‧꒰ა𝔼𝕤𝕥𝕣𝕖𝕝𝕒໒꒱ ‧₊˚ @StarOfImitation]

" A beautiful name, may I ask, was that an ability that allows you to do that?" She was careful with her words. Unsure if the small seal understood

[flipping soon @PLUSHSELKIE]

They're quickly exiting the ballroom, looking around to ensure no one noticed their departure. They don't want to be involved in the investigation or incident.
