[ 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!

[Anduin blinks, taking a moment to process this.

For better or worse, he has no idea what half of this statement means. Which is probably for the best anyway. But the part about the beach...]

I'm sorry, it... The beach does?

[What?]

[in_theworks]

A friend went mermaid-baiting, recently, right? And, like, they were using some powdered glass they found up on the tenth floor as part of the bait. Don't ask me why. [why they decided to antagonize the mermaids. why they decided to use glass to do it. he doesn't have an answer for either]

Anyway, apparently, I guess they missed with one? And, like, the beach absorbed the glass. [(o_o)] And if that isn't some horrifying shit and you don't think the beach needs a fucking exorcism, there's something wrong with you.

[Anduin's eyebrows are most certainly raised by this story, though it's also got his attention as well.]

Well. I can certainly look into it?

[Anduin doesn't really know what an exorcism is -- but he gets the gist.]

This was... Just regular glass?

[please do. he's going to tippy toe run across it, anytime he has to cross the sand, now]

I ... don't know, actually. [he didn't think to ask Slick that. (?_?)] Knowing this place, though? Probably not.
