Mercury Monster Mash

Bingo Card

Appearance on Land: Mercury looks pretty normal for the most part. Everywhere he has tattoos though (base of neck, left arm, down his side from his ribs to his left ankle) has fish-like, blue-shaded scaling. His ears have also been replaced with Vaporeon-like ears.

Appearance in Water/When Wet: Mercury's skin takes on a bluer tinge and his legs are replaced with a leafy sea dragon-like tail. From the elbow down, his arms have the same blue scaling that sits under his tattoos and his hands have a more claw-like appearance.

[well, she's dressed with a sash> pulling it away, wet as it is]

It is yours if it is suitable.

That'd be perfect. I imagine just a few seconds will be satisfactory.

[ Sitting himself down at the water's edge for her. ]

[well, okay?! wrapping it around, only twice]

There, it is done.

[ Laughing and totally oblivious to the fact that the wetness of the sash is changing him into a much more mer-looking form. ]

Jeez, that's kind of cold.

It is not so bad once you are in it.

[not going to comment on his looks, just letting him figure it out]

I'll take your word for it, though I was thinking about a swim at some point.

If not here, you are welcome to our pool. It is within our dorm, but it is more private than this one.

[ Okay reaching up to take off the blindfold. ]

I'd hate to intrude thou-

[ Wait. ]

[ Where did my legs go. ]

--Did something happen while I was blindfolded??

Oh, is that what was— I am sorry. Perhaps, because you touched water, you have changed as well?

Haaah, I guess so... well that does answer that question.

Truly, I did not mean to. But, perhaps, now is the proper time to try the water?

[holding a hand out]

Seems like it.

[ Shrugging off his jacket so he doesn't get weighed down by it before taking her hand to slide himself in. ]

[and gliding back to give him room, still holding on as a precaution, though]

See? For now, it suits us.

[ Getting his bearings, but it doesn't take him too long to do so. ]

Ah, this is a little more comfortable.

And not so cold?

Not now anyway.

[ Stretching his- fins so to speak, sinking lower as he gets more comfortable. ]

When you are ready, you should try going completely under.

[going to do just that to demonstrate]

Do I have to hol...

[ No okay that's a dumb question he's just. Going to go ahead and try ducking his head underwater and amaze at not drowning. ]

[smart!! good job, mercury]

It’s spectacular, isn’t it? I am happy to have gotten this moment, to live somewhere else.

It's certainly an experience I don't think I'll ever have again.

[doing circles around him]

Hmm, you might now. Saying something like that seems like ripe opportunity to prove you wrong.

Oh, so you think I've set myself up for more fish-related antics in the future? I supposed I can prepare for that.

And how will you prepare? If I may make a suggestion, towels would not go amiss.
