[ 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!

Sorry?

[he's not, not really, but anyway]

But if it helps any, I have some bait that Slick gave me, that they apparently go nuts for? So, if you wanna doubly piss them off ... [then there's that] And if things get too hot or whatever, you could probably just throw it, and they'll go for it, not you.

Just don't hit the beach with it.

[the beach needs Jesus (x_X)]

Do I regret asking what bait this is?

Uh, like wax and powdered mirror, I think.

The mirror's probably magic. Or evil. Or evil magic.

Or cursed, I'm starting to feel.

Cursed is also a valid option!

[a beat]

Not that we really have time for it, right now, but I wonder if there's a way to uncurse it. [it'd be something fun to try, if and when he gets bored. it might even be something he can do! people in fairy stories who end up breaking curses are usually just dudes]

It would be an interesting study, which so far has the side effects of terribly unpredictable things, ah?

Yep.

Maybe next time we're somewhere that's not, like, already actively on fire. [maybe next time things aren't already horrible, like they are here] And maybe, like, away from all the people and the thatched roof cottages, just in case.
