#ocean of darkness / seafoam and darkheart

[captain-lotl]

The serpent deity was still- very new to this! They had some clothes, a fresh pair of legs... everything was so- different.

They wandered around, not particularly looking for anything, just taking it all in.

-@pirmerr [Darkheart]

-> A young demon could be seen walking around on the sands of what seemed to be a partly sunken kingdom... He was dressed down, ruffled shirt with drawstrings across the chest, some grayish-green pants, almost a mossy color and one heavy boot and a silver bejeweled peg leg. -> Those horns... They looked similar to a certain king's horns.

[captain-lotl]

A certain strange looking figure is trying to peak inside one of the pub's windows, trying to pull themselves up- but... they're having a little difficulty.

They eventually manage to do so, claws digging into the sides of the building. Their long, serpentine tail flicking behind them slightly as they peaked inside, their large hat mashed against the window. Their eye was green, pupil as thin as a knife blade.

They found him.

-@pirmerr [🐍]

-> There he was. Seafoam, the captain of a pirate crew and the prince of the palace half sunken into the ocean. He was clearly out of it, drunk off his rocker and being held up by an absolutely GORGEOUS bird demon. -> Clearly the prince, although drunk to hell and back, trusted this man as he leaned on him and led him somewhere off into the bar. Away from the window, out of the merdeity's sight. Who was that man? Why was the prince so fucking drunk?

[captain-lotl]

ー 🌊

What was this?

Something was...hiding. Or- were they? Something was in the water, watching the king (what were they doing?), staring him down.

Whoever or- whatever this was, it was... strangely familiar. Like this had happened before.

It was getting closer.

-@pirmerr [Darkheart]

-> The king was idling by the shoreline of his kingdom, staring off into the distance silence. He looked like he was waiting and watching himself. -> Seafoam's ship didn't seem to be here...

[captain-lotl]

"M'self and Sunken will join ya then. Seafoam, you take your little ship towards the island of gladiators. I know how desperately you've been wanting to see that one boy." "Daaaaaad..." -> The king chuckles, waving his hand slightly as his son got up and shuffled off somewhere else in the castle, clearly all embarrassed.

"I can-" "No." -> Seafoma shrunk back a little, messing with one of the rings on his metal arm. The king cleared his throat, glancing at the deity. "If you wish for our aid. Then I suppose m'self and our guardian can come with ya. Seafoam will not be joinin' us." "But... Where will I go then? I know you wouldn't want me to be here by myself...!" "You can head off to that one island. Maybe you'll see that boy again." -> Seafoam blushed darkly and looked away, messing with his rings even more now.

"I would offer my assistance, but I don't think there's much I can do fer ya." -> The king sighs and shakes his head, some of his dreads falling over his shoulders. "We could send Sunken with them! His other form can move a lot faster than his mortal form." -> Other form? Mortal form?

"My suggestion is finding this healer mer you speak of and see if he can do anything about it." "Merdemon magic is incredibly varied. Healing, fighting, building... So much that can be done with a couple of spells. My son has no magic himself-" "I wish I did!" "Seafoam." "Sorry dad." "Anyways. The magic I was born with was fighting and defensive magic. If anyone could be considered a skilled warrior, I would be me."

[captain-lotl]

-> The king steps closer to the deity, looking down at the new legs that the deity really shouldn't have. He brings a hand up to his mouth, a low hum escaping him. "Do ya think magic caused it, dad?" "No doubt 'bout it, kiddo. Magic's most likely the thing that'll fix it too..."

"I think it would cool, dad! There's another world where more of us exist! And if anything, I doubt some lousy merdemon hunters wouldn't dare go against a deity!" -> The king hums softly and crosses his arms behind his back. He stood, silent and stoic looking, carefully considering the deity's words and the additional words of his own child. -> He sighs, closing his eyes. "I suppose I'll take up the offer. But expect me ta bring m'weapon."

[captain-lotl]

-> The pub was alive with all sorts of noise, color and chatter. Hell, this whole island seemed to be this way! "Island of The Storms" is what the king called it. An island of fun, color and life! All sorts of demons as far as the eye could see were mingling about, sharing stories or being outside with their youth and each other. It seemed like such a happy and lively place! -> A small bell sound could be heard as the doors to the bar opened up and Seafoam, being helped and pulled along by the unfamiliar demon, stepped out into the warmth and fresh air of the island. The unfamiliar demon was a male peacock demon, his feathers were dazzling! Marvelous! Dressed up in a form fitting outside that showed off how plush and round he was, knee high boots and all sorts of fancy jewelry decorating his horns, talons and little earrings dangling from the sides of his head. -> Who was this man? How did Seafoam know him?

Away from the window, out of the merdeity's sight. Who was that man? Why was the prince so fucking drunk?

[captain-lotl]

"At least we agree on something." -> The peacock slowly stood up, slinging one of Seafoam's arms around his shoulders and lifting the sleeping prince up slowly, keeping Seafoam pressed against his side. "If his father is oh so desperate to know where he is. Tell him he's on the Island of Storms with a friend. And that's all he'll get from me."

-> Pavo shifts slightly and moves closer to the sleeping prince, gently grabbing onto Seafoam's arm. Defensive, he was getting defensive too. "You're a stranger to me. And I'M his ex-boyfriend! How do I know for sure you're actually with his father? How do I know you're not lying to try and do something to him while he's vulnerable like this?" -> He.... He unfortunately had a point. He didn't know the merdeity, he didn't know if what the other was saying was true or not. His defensive and protective nature was valid... "His father from what I remember has never shown interest in love! Granted, things can change. But if you want an answer to send back to him, if you even know him that is, that Seafoam's fine. He fine and just wants some space, okay? He's always held up in that palace of his!" "He's told me how trapped he feels in that palace! Even if he does have his freedoms, he still feels like he's trapped! Trapped and unable to do anything because of his father's paranoia! So go and tell him that!"

[captain-lotl]

"You look different, deity. Some kind of mishap?" -> He glances at the deity over his shoulder as the little prince skitters over to one of the withered yet comfy looking couches that rested within the main area of the castle, laying down and stretching out.

[captain-lotl]

"I don't quite see a reason to allow you even near him." -> The digital eyes of his visor squint slightly, watching the merdeity with caution. "Unless you can prove to me that you're someone he knows and trusts then it would be best you swim away."

[captain-lotl]

-> Something could be seen within the moat's waters.... A faint glowing green hue. It must be nothing, right? -> Must've been nothing since neither the king or the little prince reacted to it, both of them walking over the drawbridge and going towards the front doors of the palace. -> The palace, even on the inside, was ocean themed! Although it showed its wealth too. Glittering golds, fancy jewels and such. A lot of the furniture, despite having been withered slightly, looked incredibly pricey as well.
