07. spam

[ He builds you, in his mind, from the slivers of sight and sound that fall through the cracks of your world into his. He catches the curve of your hand, the glance of sunlight off of hat and hair, through the gaps of rope and rigging and rail. He goes still, and lets himself sink, and listens to the muffled half-sounds that hum in the water against his skin. He can hear your voice, from the dim-and-dullness, the quiet riot.

He is a patch of pale skin and a long, winding tail distorted by restless water. He is intrigued, but he is... shy? Cautious.

He will follow you anywhere there is water to swim. ]


[ ooc: Zane is a merperson who is spying on everyone, particularly people he finds intriguing or dangerous. This is especially open to people that we've plotted/discussed him stalking, but also open to... yep, pretty much everyone who wants to spot a mercreeper.

Also available for general interaction for fellow water-and-island-creatures! ]

[He does. That's how curious he is, and how stupid. The feel of Zane's scales are baffling, wholly new, and he frowns, unfocused with concentration.]

That's . . . not what it's like up here.

[Maybe he's right, maybe it's better.]
patheticvillain: (ʭ almost every single day)

[He traces the outline of one scale, still frowning.]

I don't want to be.

[Then he lifts his hand, lets it hover over the spike. A question.]

Do you like the sound of water pressed against your ears all the time? It doesn't make you feel - [What is that word.] Stifled?
patheticvillain: (ʭ you say what you say)

[personal profile] patheticvillain 2013-05-07 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
[No weapons. His hands are bare. His eyes are honest.]

[The spike, when he touches it, is not as cold as he expected.]


Like a song?
patheticvillain: (ʭ you jump through the big hoop)

[personal profile] patheticvillain 2013-05-07 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
I heard a song last night. Not a whale.

[The blunt end of it's strange. After a few minutes he jolts, suddenly off-kilter and unsure why.]

[Doesn't move away, though.]
patheticvillain: (ʭ you're the only one)

[personal profile] patheticvillain 2013-05-07 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
[He's unfocused again, remembering and trying to ignore the not-rightness in the tips of his fingers.]

Something . . . that I wanted. And couldn't steal.
patheticvillain: (ʭ clever alibis)

[personal profile] patheticvillain 2013-05-07 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
Because I don't think she exists at all.

[He jolts again, forces a smile, and pulls away, trailing his fingers in the water. His knuckles brush against Zane's tail again.]

It's all right, I'm probably insane. Too much time at sea and all that.
patheticvillain: (ʭ who can set me free)

[personal profile] patheticvillain 2013-05-07 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
I thought I was supposed to answer your questions, not the other way around.
patheticvillain: (ʭ so play it out)

[personal profile] patheticvillain 2013-05-07 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe not. Rambling's that interesting to you?
patheticvillain: (ʭ when you walk away)

[personal profile] patheticvillain 2013-05-07 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
You want to untie me.

Is that it?
patheticvillain: (ʭ a dark but common horse)

[personal profile] patheticvillain 2013-05-07 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
Oh.

[He looks away, looks back.]

Have you ever wanted something more than you've ever wanted everything else in your life put together?
patheticvillain: (ʭ another clever word)

[personal profile] patheticvillain 2013-05-07 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
[He smirks, fingers brushing against his tail again.]

You sure?
patheticvillain: (ʭ you always try to be --)

[personal profile] patheticvillain 2013-05-07 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
[He laughs, flicking the water right back - not that it matters, Zane's all wet anyway.]

What I heard last night, I think it was a girl. And I think she could rip me apart.
