[ The image comes up to show Marcos huddled behind a boulder near the water's edge with two figures nearby. He looks tense and keeps his voice low as he gestures to the others that he started the feed. ]

Hey. This is Marcos. I have Lorna and Wrench here with me. We uh... found something. [ He moves the device to show a cave, and the cluster of mermaids going in it. ]

Apparently some of the mermaids are able to use a siren call to lure people out here. There's a cave where they're gathering at night, but it's guarded. Most of them are in pretty bad shape, but we think what's in there might have something to do with what's making them... insane.

[ No offense, mermaids, but they did already try to eat him once. ]

[ lorna comes up to marcos's side after he shows what they've found, glancing over at him and reaching for his hand out of frame. when she addresses the camera herself she seems relatively calm, but serious. ]

We've got some experience dealing with mind control, but not enough to combat it. [ or block it to a degree any of them are comfortable with before they proceed. ] So whatever techniques you've got would be appreciated.

[Wrench, who's been practically vibrating this entire time, all but explodes at this point, albeit quietly -- or as quietly as he knows how to be, anyway] Otherwise, looks like meat's back on the menu, boys! [the mask displays a quick, angry face, mostly for show, before jumping to a bright (^_^)] Or, you know, sushi.

[yeah, he's been sitting on that reference this entire time]

Seriously, though. [help them, Obi-Wan Kenobi]


ooc: Marcos/Lorna/Wrench (if that's not obvious) any combination may reply!

Yeah, the beach. No idea what that's about. Was not kidding when I said this place is fucking weird.

[from now on, he's going to tippy-toe The Floor Is Lava run across the beach any time he has to touch the sand, because what]

Jesus, dude. And I thought being mindfucked by the mermaids was bad.

[did any of them mention they were the ones that got mind controlled by the mermaids? no? well, now he has]

[sergeant_slick]

Wait, I thought you were just talking about the locals--you got mind controlled by these things? [Sure, anonymous civvies getting mind controlled is bad, but this is Wrench we're talking about.]

... no?

[yes (>_-)]

Maaaaaaaaybe?

[very yes (-_-)]

[sergeant_slick]

Mate. You've got to lead with this stuff. [Don't just drop this stuff on him like this!]

[in_theworks]

I got mindfucked by a mermaid.

[ta-da! complete with jazz hands!]
