( aaaaand—bump! it seems like aarn's also a bit unaware of where he's going...considering that he just collided with mikitaka in the interim, anyhow. the half-undine nearly topples over, just managing to catch his balance before tumbling down. he lets out a laugh, unfazed. ) whoa! careful, there!

Mikitaka Hazekura@mikitakahazekura.bsky.social · 6mo ago

He's just walking around. He doesn't know where he's going, but he's walking.

ooc! i know i'm late to the party . but heated rivalry has done something irreparable to my brain chemistry

( lost again…this doesn’t *seem* like where he’s supposed to go. 💭 )

wuuuhhh... 🌀 ( can't sleep. he's lightly stomach-sick. )

( every day, he thanks his lucky stars he doesn't have visible gills like his fully-undine counterparts. if he had to feel the pelt lining of his coat brush up against them, he'd go quite insane. )

ooc! i DO have a fear and hunger 2 verse for aarn where he's not a fish man . i may not play it much on this account but if you want i WILL tell you about it

ooc! FUNGER? ON MY TIMELINE? oh today's the best day ever

ooc! aarn hasn’t seen the stars in ages. with the fog that’s been over vodej for years, cloud watching is the only thing he *can* do. he prefers stargazing, though. he wants to point to a constellation and see himself in its myriad lines.

Out of the two, does your original character like stargazing, or cloud watching better? Why? #OCASK #OCQOTD #OCSKY

i mean, i'm not exactly the end-all-be-all for my people! you'd probably need my *mom* for that, haha. i'm half-human, so my undine parts aren't exactly what they would look like on a *full* one. ( encase? did this motherfucker say *encase?* blink blink. nervous grin. ) uh...wait, me? for real?

what is the common nose shape of your people? do they usually have high or lower cheekbones? what about the jaw shape? actually, i may need to encase you- ( a blink. stopping himself. then he smiles, charmingly. ) i would love you to model for me.

ohhhh, i get it! it's kind of like a driftwood sculpture. gotta keep it at a proper temperature and moisture so it doesn't get brittle or moldy. since wax is so soft, it's probably real easy to shape, too... oh! uh...right. 💧 yeah, man, ask whatever you want.

i see. hm. wax is easy to control, and allows for particularly detailed creations. of course you need to make sure the room temperature is always cool around them, or else they could melt. but other than that, very easy to work with. now, i have more questions about your appearance.

well—sort of! i don't know. *most* of my kind have webbed ears, it's not really a "what happened to me" kind of thing... oh, *shit,* actually? *wax?* i mean, i've seen fixtures of wood and stone and all that before, but not a lot of *wax.* must be difficult to hold its shape, huh?

how clever. aren't you a snappy one? i create wax sculptures, which is why the finer details are more obvious to me than to the.. common eye.

my *ears?* i mean, they've always looked like this, but— there's this crazy concept called, uh...being *born,* if you've heard of it.

◞ ‍ ‍𝚆𝙰𝚇 ︎ ︎ ︎ ꒷꒦ ︎ ︎ 𝙰𝚁𝚃𝙸𝚂𝚃 ‎ ꜝꜝ@waxcarved.bsky.social · 6mo ago

your ears, for example. what... why?

i don't...know? depends on what you're referring to!

what happened to you?

whuh?

all of you are incredibly ugly.

( practicing his mouth harp. )

( examining @ofmetaphoricalmind.bsky.social from a distance. how odd. he’s never seen anyone outside of the capital city with a suit that pristine—and even then, *none* have looked quite like *that* before. he’s a bit too nervous to go up to him, but he’s there. peeking. quite fishily, in fact. )

ooc! reposting all my calls because i got a bunch of new followers!!! hello divas :] i hope you enjoy my silly little fish man

——— 🌊 𝘚𝘏𝘐𝘗 𝘊𝘈𝘓𝘓! ♡ this post for me to slide into your dms and plot up a ship with you! aarn is very much multishippable and 𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺 much pansexual, so i'm open to plotting anything for him!

——— 🌊 𝘗𝘌𝘙𝘔𝘈𝘕𝘌𝘕𝘛 𝘐𝘕𝘛𝘌𝘙𝘈𝘊𝘛𝘐𝘖𝘕 𝘊𝘈𝘓𝘓! by ♡-ing this post, you're letting me know that it's cool to tag you in posts, interact with you on the tl, or pop into your dms for plotting or rp sometime! you're free to rescind and re-like this whenever you like!

——— 🌊 𝘚𝘛𝘈𝘙𝘛𝘌𝘙 𝘊𝘈𝘓𝘓! ♡ this post for me to put a little interaction between your character and aarn on the tl! it’s guaranteed to be small, lighthearted, and sfw—perfect for two characters to get to know each other.

( holding out a piece of bread from the market to the reader. felvaskr loves to upcharge people who come from out of town… 💧 but at least the bread is good. )

ooc! a quick bandwagon so i can start getting some interactions goin around here 👀

ooc! there were no real means to diagnose mental illnesses during the advent of judgement—in fact, there are no real means to diagnose them in kylse *at all,* considering high fantasy medicine! if there *were,* though...well, aarn is most *certainly* a candidate for some form of attention deficit.

Does your original character have any disabilities? What about chronic illnesses? #OCASK #OCQOTD #OCSKY

( flexing one of his arms. he needs to start training again... he's plenty strong now, but imagine if he was *stronger!* )

april *fools* day? what, a day all about playing jokes? dude, that’s, like—that’s *incredible!*

the sun will shine on us again.

( he hasn’t seen the sun in ages… he wonders if it’s changed since he’s last seen it. 💭 maybe it’s purple now. maybe it doesn’t exist at all. )

He’s got a sadness about him you only see in catholic stained glass windows.

when does a man become a monster?

( meticulously threading a series of beads together. careful, now, he’s almost finished… )
