[ 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!

I think so? [he hasn't exactly tested it, but he knows he snapped out of it when the lead mermaid stopped singing. he's also pretty sure that she wasn't trying to lure him, specifically, he just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, but]

I know there's, like, some wax in the lighthouse, though.

[that might work to fashion crude earplugs. hm]

[joker_wild]

You could try that, maybe?

[He frowns, still trying to think of a way to deal with this.]

[in_theworks]

Worth a shot. [he shrugs] And, like. At least I've got two other people to throw something at my head, if it doesn't work?

[Akira tries not to look amused, but he doesn't quite manage it, considering the way Wrench put that.]

Yeah, try not to end up drowned or eaten. That wouldn't be fun for anyone.

[in_theworks]

That depends on what you mean by 'eaten.'

[he couldn't resist the obvious blowjob joke]

But yeah, no, we'll be careful.

[joker_wild]

That's gross.

[But he's mostly amused.]

Call if you need help?

[And unless Wrench has anything else, he'll end the connection.]
