[There's a rather deep sigh coming from the mermaid as she still seems to be fussing over something.]

I take it from what I have seen happen that being in another person's body is a rather common occurrence at the moment? Might I ask who currently resides within my own body? If it is indeed Keimi, might I request that you at the very least try to avoid leaving me with any long lasting bruises? I'm afraid I haven't moved much yet myself, as I am entirely unsure as to how to maneuver in your body with this... tail. Do you know where I can find your bubble making device... and how I would even use it without falling off of it?

Ugh...

Why do I keep feeling so faint?

[Guess who isn't with the program on mermaids needing to stay hydrated?]

[Sigh]

I know how you feel darling... I don't even know if this ship can sail properly with so many of the crew being swapped for others. Don't neglect your violin practice while I'm gone though, and be sure to actually eat properly without me there to force you to eat right.

[She's seen how sickly you get Brady, and you can't raise chickens and take care of her body on a frail and breaking body.]

[cry_brady]

[That went from sweet to annoying in .003 seconds.]

I DON'T NEED YOU TO WATCH ME EAT!

Sheesh... Shouldn't you be more concerned about yourself right now? You're not even human anymore!

[grizzly_tea]

[Yup, that's pretty much how Maribelle rolls.]

SOMEONE NEEDS TO IF YOU WON'T!

2/2

[grizzly_tea]

*Ahem*

While I may not be entirely human anymore, enough of me is human that I should still be able to manage, and I have observed Keimi's eating habits, and asked her about a few things in the past. Suffice it to say I should have matters well in hand on my end so long as you're able to hold the fort down at home.

[Yeeeeeeah... Maribelle is probably going to faint three or four times from dehydration on her tail before this is over. At least she's got tea now?]

[cry_brady]

Hmph... Everythin's fine over here. Keimi just needs to get her balance, and like I said, I'm watchin' over her. But the really important thing is figurin' how to get you guys back to your own bodies!

[grizzly_tea]

Yes... that is quite the quandary. I wonder if perhaps our bodies need to touch or something of that nature? If that is the case, we might all find ourselves in very deep trouble, since many of the ships people have found themselves on may not even get along with each other.

[cry_brady]

We'll deal with that when it comes, but right now we gotta focus on fixin' you! If a touch is all we need, we just gotta get to each other as soon as possible!

[grizzly_tea]

That may be easier said than done Brady. At the moment it is just an idle theory that I have on the matter, and it may not be enough to motivate our crews to meet up together. If all we're working on is a hunch...

Do you know if anyone has switched bodies who may have been on the same ship? Or are at least in close proximity to each other? Then perhaps we might be able to put my theory to the test.

[cry_brady]

I... I dunno. I've barely been able to keep track of who's who anymore. My fairy friend is now a crazy old man, Kodachi's a giant bear, and you're a mermaid...

... Actually, you kinda got off easy.

[grizzly_tea]

Wait, one of your friends was a fairy? And how would they be a crazy old man as opposed to simply an old man? What kind of bear is Kodachi? Where... ohh...

[Yup... too much information... too little water. Excuse her a moment as she sort of swoons on the floor here.]

[cry_brady]

M-Ma! What's wrong?! MA?!

[And we've entered Panic Mode.]

[grizzly_tea]

M-Mother's just a little... dizzy dear... Perhaps I should take a nap... or go swimming.

[Wow... that's rare... Maribelle didn't even like going into water that much. She wondered why the idea of water seemed so refreshing right now.]

[cry_brady]

[Swimming... water... mermaid... dizziness...]

WAIT A MINUTE!

D-Don't mermaids NEED water?!

[grizzly_tea]

I...

2/3

[grizzly_tea]

Well...

3/3

[grizzly_tea]

... You might be right.

[Siiiiigh]

Why does being human have to be so much easier?

[cry_brady]

Get in the water! Get in the water! Get in the water!

[Okay he can handle losing you to a giant dragon of pure evil, but losing you to dehydration is NOT A THING THAT CAN HAPPEN, OKAY.]

[grizzly_tea]

I can't just jump into the sea Brady! I can barely even get out of my cabin without legs! How do you propose I get into the water?!

[Also she totally doesn't want to! She'll smell like the sea!]

[cry_brady]

Don't they have any bathtubs around there?!

[grizzly_tea]

Well yes... but what if my body needs saltwater? I wouldn't want to hurt my fish half if freshwater would be a form of poison.

[You know, freshwater fish versus saltwater fish?]

I suppose it's worth a try for the time being... I just hope I do not bother anyone else who wanted to take a bath for a while.

[cry_brady]

Screw 'em! You need the water more! That ship should be doing everything they can to make sure you're okay!

[grizzly_tea]

That's very rude young man! At least say don't worry about or don't concern yourself with, or even forget about them!

[She's gotten used to most of the slurring of his tongue, but she won't tolerate foul words mister D:<]

[cry_brady]

[YOU'RE DYING OF DEHYDRATION AND WORRYING ABOUT CURSE WORDS.]

Hngh... Sheesh, at least I don't have to prove you are you...

[grizzly_tea]

[*SPLASH, SPLASH* HAPPY?! There a sigh of relief from Maribelle as she eases herself into a tub of water.]

Well dear, I suspect that even if I was somehow put into a nearly inanimate sloth, I'd still be able to keep enough of a regal bearing that you'd be able to tell who I was.

[cry_brady]

[Can you hear him rolling his eyes?]

You feelin' better?
