[ 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!

You guys strike me as kind of cinnamon rolls?

I mean, no offense, but ... [he puts a hand to his chest (;_;)] Too good for this world, too pure.

[ there's an expression on lorna's face that could read as angry, or at least offended, by the assessment, mouth tight and eyebrow raised. she holds it for about fifteen seconds before snorting with laughter. ]

Interesting assessment. [ she's not about to blow up marcos's spot, much less her own, but it's not quite accurate. ]

[Wrench blinks at her, the mask cycling from the default (x_x) through (!_!) (o_o) when she laughs, it blinks to (-_-) and he glances over his shoulder, stage whispering to no one in particular:] Hey, guys! I found the Sitara!

[whatever that means, it reads as a compliment, somehow. (^_^)]

[chromiums]

[ lorna's not sure what he means or how to take what he's just called her (though she doesn't react except to hold her raised eyebrow again), and when the mask ends up smiling she smiles similarly. ]

Whatever that means.

Trust me, it's a good thing. [and because he knows how much like bullshit that sounds, despite the fact (or maybe because of the fact) that the mask continues to look cheery, he clarifies:] She's a friend from back home.
