[ Stephanie, mermaid of the tropics and sister of Cassandra, has always been a bit of an odd one. She’s easy enough to get along with, but once she gets an idea into her head she doesn’t let it go. For example: ]

Humans! [ The feed shows lushious and very wet blonde locks splayed all over a very warm rock, purple markings that circle her eyes, a bit of netting for a shirt. She couldn’t even be bothered to sit up straight for this. Of course, from her grin, she’s not taking much of anything very seriously. ] You’re so cute with your weird little leg thingies.

Can I keep one of you? I’ll take good care of you and everything. None of the nasty monsters will eat you, not while I’m around. Promise.

[ She flips over to give the camera a sultry look. ]

So what do you say? Who wants to be my little pet?

[A quick shot of green braids with water plants tangled in them, and then just feminine eyes peering close up: part of the fun of being a nearsighted sea creature.]

They look like so much fun. But I don't think they'd be good pets.

[Food, now. That's different and better.]

[ichoosefight]

I know exactly what you're thinking, and it's not going to happen. I'm keeping one as a pet and nobody is allowed to kill it and that's that.

[persecutioncomplex]

What? They... they look like us, except they have legs. What would happen if one of them decided to take you home for a pet?

[If this goes right, she can make Stephanie look like the creepy one for once.]

[ichoosefight]

Then they would learn very quickly that looks aren't everything.

[persecutioncomplex]

I guess... I hope they stay, though.

[ichoosefight]

Me too. And I hope they don't try to kill us. I can't protect somebody who tries to kill us, and I don't want my pet to turn into food.

[persecutioncomplex]

I wouldn't eat somebody's pet. [Not unless she got it in a trade. Then it would be her pet, wouldn't it?]

[ichoosefight]

Not even if it was vicious and had to be put down?
