piratejournal | [Voice/Text/Action] The little lady

[Maribelle is one of the many people on these oceans that has found themselves turned into a child, but she is one of the few who was quite literate at such a young age... well at least as far as this little lady is concerned.]

Dear Diary,

[Her handwriting is impeccable, but it seems she has the habit of saying ever single thing she writes out loud in her child like voice that is so similar to the one she normally has.]

I think I may have been kidnapped by pirates! I've never met a pirate before so I don't know really, but they're everything I think a pirate would look like... and there's the smell of disgusting fish in the air, and the sea, and I know that my homeland is landlocked! I wish I knew what to do, but I'm worried that my father will be terribly cross, and worse yet I think trying to escape on my own may be too dangerous. Later, I must remember to write out some plans to help me escape or I may be trapped here forever!

[With a melodramatic sigh and a few scribbling doodles of pirates being hung, Maribelle finishes her 'diary' entry with her signature.]

[OOC: Responses will come from

little_belle and as you may have guessed, Maribelle has been turned into a kid, but only has her memories up to the point of age 7 or so.]

...K-kinda. You humans like to think we are.

Does that mean you're... um... what are they called.... a taguel? Tanguel? Ugh... Those people who are part one animal, part human? I didn't know there were any fish ones!

A tanwho? I've never heard of that before.

Really? ... Then what are you?

I'm a mermaid.

A mermaid!? Really?! You're not just lying to me because I'm a child are you?!

[The sheer glee in Maribelle's voice is just... palpable.

Do people lie to children a lot?

I'm a kid too, are you lying to me?

Mhmm! Adults lie to kids all the time because they think they're smart!

[Maribelle hadn't realized she was talking to another girl her age, but with all the children she's met tonight it does make sense!]

I didn't know you were a kid, but what would I be lying about?

I-I don't know. I was just checking.

[Pout pout.]

Well that's unimportant right now~! What is important is that you should come to my next tea party! I've never, ever gotten to meet a mermaid before!

A tea party? What's that?

...

......

Do you live under a rock!? It's a party where we drink tea, and sit around a table, and have pastries, and gossip, and talk about stuff!

N-no, I live on the bottom of the ocean.

I don't think it would be very comfy under a rock.

Huh? You mean you don't have the term living under a rock?

This is the first I've heard it.

Well it's a phrase used when someone doesn't know very much about the world outside, so like if they'd been hiding out under a rock for years and only just came out to the surface to learn things yesterday... or something to that effect.

Oh.

I don't really know much about the surface world at all.

Oh right... you live under the sea don't you? I guess that is kind of like living under a rock.

I'm sorry.

[Really, what else can she say to that?]

Aww, it's okay! That just means Lissa and I will have to teach you everything! Like how to wear a dress, and braiding your hair, and all the important stuff!

Dresses? Aren't those things human people wear?

[That cover your... legs?]

Mmhmm~! You could wear one to cover your tail, and it would look super cute on you! I have a lot of dresses back home, so I'm sure we could find one that would fit you!

Okay. That sounds like fun.

[Still not sure if she can trust humans, but this one seems okay.]

Do you wear any bows in your hair? They're one of the best accessories a girl on the surface can have.

N-no. Are they really that important?
