Part of that world

Who: Ariel (Air) | [personal profile] tradedvoice, OPEN
Format: Prose
When: - 1st of May, night
Where: - The beach
Summary: - Ariel has been adjusting well enough, but still finds herself drawn to the beach, sitting and watching the waves with her feet submerged. Thinking back on her deal with Ursula, how her family must be reacting and if she would ever find the man she had saved.
Rating: - G-PG at most?


Ariel hugged her knees, looking out at the setting sun as she sat at the beach, letting the tide and waves swell at her feet and ankles. That had been her home, the ocean. She missed her family, her father and sisters. Wondered if she would ever see them again. There was a good chance she wouldn't, at this rate. She still had no idea if or when the man she had saved from drowning would show up here or if she would find him by traveling. If she managed to save up enough for the train. Ariel was frustrated with the lack of progress to that end, but knew there was little that could be done about it. She just hoped she could find him in time and get him to kiss her. Otherwise....well, Ariel would be a mermaid again and belong to Ursula. She was sure there had been a time limit, but she couldn't recall the details. Hopefully there would be enough time.

Maybe after it was over she could send Daddy an explanation. He deserved that much at least, whatever happened. She did feel bad for her choice but stood by it nonetheless. This was an amazing experience, living among humans and these 'spirits' like this. The only thing that would make this better was finding him. And she had to. It was only a matter of time, either waiting or going off to try and find him herself if she had to.

Maron gently removed a shoe and let the cool water from the tidal pool splash over her aching toes. It had been another long day of practicing but she was finally beginning to remember the routine the dance instructor was trying to teach her.
She was so busy thinking about her sore feet and how nice the water felt on them that she at first didn't notice the other young girl sitting out there on the beach.

"Oh!" She quickly slipped her shoe back on and walked out to join the other girl, "I didn't know anyone else was out here."

How beautiful the sea was. One could almost stand out here and watch it for hours.

"It is really pretty. I think it is nice to be able to visit a place like this after work, don't you?"
tradedvoice: (Yes!)

[personal profile] tradedvoice 2012-05-03 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
Ariel turned at the sound of the others voice, blinking in surprise. She hadn't expected anyone else to come out here so late. But the company was appreciated all the same. She couldn't talk but she gave a nod in agreement. The ocean was lovely, she had never seen it from this point of view before, from the beach. But it was relaxing, almost soothing to watch the waves come and go with the tide. She'd made a bit of a habit of coming out here after work to think for a while. She couldn't blame the other girl for doing so as well.

For the most part she had gotten by with gestures and facial expressions in face to face encounters, and using the text function with the ring. She supposed she could write on the sand if she needed to if the girl wanted to talk more. It was frustrating not being able to talk or sing. She hoped she would save enough to buy her voice back from Yubaba soon.
kamikaze_kaito: (Gentle smile)

[personal profile] kamikaze_kaito 2012-05-03 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
Hm? She didn't say anything? Maron thought that was odd but at least the other girl had smiled and nodded. Maybe she was just shy or something. At least that is what Maron decided for now.

"Do you mind if I join you for a while? I think sitting on the beach for a while and resting my feet would be wonderful. I have been dancing so much lately, I guess I'm just not used to it yet."
tradedvoice: (First meetings)

[personal profile] tradedvoice 2012-05-03 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
If only Maron knew. Ariel was anything but shy, it was just that she literally couldn't speak. But she shook her head to indicate she didn't mind the other girl's company, trying to tidy her hair and tame it against the breeze a little.

Dancing though. That was something she could at least try, perhaps talk to Yubaba about it, maybe even try sing once she got her voice back. It would be lovely, to be able to sing for a living. It was worth a try, after she paid Yubaba back for her voice at least.

[personal profile] kamikaze_kaito 2012-05-03 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Maron slipped off her shoes again and pushed her feet out where the waves could wash over them once she had taken a seat next to the other girl. Ah! The water did feel wonderful!

"My name is Emi. I just arrived here a few days ago."

Maron smiled as the other girl tried to straighten her hair. It was so long and such a bright red color!

"What is your name?"
tradedvoice: (Voiceless)

[personal profile] tradedvoice 2012-05-04 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
Ariel bit her lip at the question, almost about to answer before remembering the deal with Ursula. She kept doing that every so often. Hopefully it wouldn't be too much longer before she paid Yubaba enough to buy her voice back. She raised a hand to her throat to try indicate to the other girl that she couldn't speak, wondering how to answer. Maybe the ring? Oh, she could write in the sand! Using her finger, she wrote;

Hi, Emi. I'm Air. It's nice to meet you.
kamikaze_kaito: (That was a really cute thing you said)

[personal profile] kamikaze_kaito 2012-05-06 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
Reaching up to touch her throat was a strange gesture. What could that mea-- oh!

"You can't talk? Is it because you have a cold?" It wasn't too windy or chilly outside but... "If you have a cold I should take you back inside until you feel better."

At least with the sand writing she was able to learn the girl's name.

"Air is a cute name. I'm really glad to meet you too."
tradedvoice: (What was that?)

[personal profile] tradedvoice 2012-05-07 06:40 am (UTC)(link)
She shook her head at the question. It wasn't because she had a cold, but Ariel was not sure how to explain exactly, or how much she should tell people here about her life back home. The only person she had told the truth to was the reindeer and because he had talked about mermaids and the ocean and was a 'pirate'.

It's not a cold, I'm fine. And I'm glad to meet you too.
kamikaze_kaito: (Oops)

[personal profile] kamikaze_kaito 2012-05-08 12:47 am (UTC)(link)
"It's not?"

Maron settled back down into the sand then. If it isn't a cold then there was no reason to be concerned about her being outside too long.

"I'm glad. I could only imagine how well that would go over.
'Yubaba I need a week off I have a cold'... 'Whhhhaaaaattt? You just got here!'"

And Maron totally does that in her best Yubaba impersonation style voice, which actually sounds nothing like her.

"So you just like to watch the waves?"
tradedvoice: (Giggles)

[personal profile] tradedvoice 2012-05-10 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Ariel shook her head in reassurance. It. Definitely was not a cold. But the only ones who knew the truth were Yubaba and Chopper. Sometimes she had a feeling others might sense something was not quite right given her...odd and eccentric reactions to things and the like with everything being so new to her though.

The ex-mermaid couldn't help but giggle at the attempted Yubaba impression, appreciating the attempt all the same and just imagining that was more or less how asking for any time off would likely go. At the question though, she gives a small nod, hugging her knees a little closer. It was--had been home. Once.

LET'S PUT THE TWO PEOPLE THAT HARDLY TALK IN THE SAME PLACE 8D

[personal profile] skywardknight 2012-05-03 04:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Link had been doing some last-minute things in the farm area and had stayed much longer than his shift intended . He had been doing extra work with the pigs, trying to make them comfortable just in case they really were people.

On his way back, he found a familiar red-head standing by the beach. How strange. This was no place for a girl to be out alone. He inched closer to her, looking a little worried.

He cleared out his throat to catch the girls attention.
tradedvoice: (What was that?)

GREAT IDEA. Except the fact she. Can't talk. :lb Yet, anyway.

[personal profile] tradedvoice 2012-05-03 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Ariel was lost in her thoughts, hugging her knees a little closer to her, unaware of the boy approaching until he cleared his throat. She started a little, eyes wide as she turned to see who it was. She wasn't in trouble for coming out here, was she? Well, at least he didn't look like one of Yubaba's staff coming to tell her off.

He looked familiar though, possibly someone she had talked to with the rings maybe. She tilted her head questioningly, trying to figure why he'd come out here to her.

WHAT'S THIS, A DAMSEL IN DISTRESS?! LINK TO THE RESCUE B|

[personal profile] skywardknight 2012-05-06 03:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Link stood there awkwardly for a few moments not exactly sure why the girl didn't speak. He tilted his head just as she did.

"I'm Link." That was good enough, wasn't it? He took a few cautious steps forward. "Are you okay?"
tradedvoice: (Curiosity)

Sorry your princess must be in another castle. This girl does not even recall she is one.

[personal profile] tradedvoice 2012-05-07 06:17 am (UTC)(link)
He was just checking on her? But, she was fine! It's not like she intended to stay out here too long, anyway. She had just wanted to go spend time on the beach for a while, she hadn't expected anyone to come out looking for her and worrying. She visibly relaxed a little when he introduced himself and asked if she was okay, giving a small smile and a nod in answer as her hair fell forward with the movement.

Sisi walked near the beach. For her, it is the first time she visits the ocean. While she does travel with her family, they have yet to go to the coast. And anyway, with her mother's strict training and studying regime, they hardly ever take vacations. She just wishes she remembers why her mother insists so much on that.

She sighs as she enjoys the setting sun, and the feeling of the warm sand on her barefoot feet. She might later regret dragging her kimono through the sand. She now realizes why people wear bathing suits to go to the beach. She doesn't dare go into the water, lest she spoil her kimono even more, but she sees Air in the distance and calls to her.

"Air, hi!"
tradedvoice: (I have legs!)

[personal profile] tradedvoice 2012-05-04 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
Ariel blinked, turning at the sound of the familiar voice and gave Sisi a wave when she saw the other girl. It seemed she was not the only one to have the idea to come down here after work, she mused with a small smile. But she was pleased to get the chance to see her friend and catch up, gesturing to the other that she could join if she wanted. She had come down alone but maybe it wouldn't do to dwell on it all too much. She could use the company and distraction.
pinklacesword: (Default)

[personal profile] pinklacesword 2012-05-05 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
Sisi walks over to where Air is, not sure if she should sit down or not. In the end she shrugs and sits down with her friend. Her kimono can be cleaned from the sand, afterall. She smiles. "Hi Air! It's nice meeting you here. I had never come to the ocean before, you know."
tradedvoice: (Don't you shake your head at me)

[personal profile] tradedvoice 2012-05-05 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
Ariel couldn't imagine not having been to the beach or ocean before and her expression clearly showed her surprise at this, looking both surprised and confused. Maybe back home Sisi had lived far away from the ocean? The ocean was big but Ariel was sure there was a lot of land too, after all if there were so many humans. Well, at least Sisi was here now, and she had the chance to go to the beach and see the ocean.

Ariel did love the ocean, even if she had yearned to live on the land as long as she could remember. It had been home, and her family still lived under the sea, after all. There would always be a part of her that would be drawn back to it even if she did manage to find the man she had saved and get him to kiss her in time.
pinklacesword: ([ thinking ])

[personal profile] pinklacesword 2012-05-05 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
Sisi is confused, because Air has yet to say a word. It seems she is quite surprised that she has never been to the sea before, so she'll start at that.

"It really is my first time at the beach. The place where I live has no ocean, right there, but it is close by. Unfortunately I don't have much time to travel, because my mother has me on a strict school and training regime. I don't have much free time or holidays."
tradedvoice: (How to do this...)

[personal profile] tradedvoice 2012-05-05 02:20 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, well that sound make sense. Ariel remembered being pretty busy herself back home when she wasn't sneaking off or forgetting obligations like the concert while searching for more human treasures. She could sympathize with that much at least. With a parent that was strict and didn't let you do as you pleased (granted Triton certainly had his reasons but Ariel was oblivious to the full reasonings, especially here now she could not remember her mother had been killed by humans). She gave a small, empathetic nod of understanding and gestured to the ocean, as if to saw 'well, you're here now!'
pinklacesword: (Lizzy - Smiling)

[personal profile] pinklacesword 2012-05-05 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
The younger girl smiles and nods. "It is truly a beautiful place... More than I hoped. Though I'm not quite well dressed to enjoy it fully. I suppose a silk kimono isn't the best outfit to play by the sea." she sighs. "In my country we have something called a bathing suit."
tradedvoice: (Mischief)

[personal profile] tradedvoice 2012-05-07 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
Ariel listened, giving a shrug and small smile at the other's commenting on her clothes. She didn't see what the big deal was, but then that was probably understandable considering she was only recently getting used to the idea of clothing now she had legs. She looked back to the younger girl, tilting her head a little in question. Bathing suits? That was new, Ariel had never heard of a 'bathing suit' before.
pinklacesword: ([ thinking ])

[personal profile] pinklacesword 2012-05-12 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
Sisi noticed Air seemed confused about bathing suits. Maybe she has never seen one in her world. "Bathing suits are different from normal clothes. It's a lot lighter than normal clothes, and only proper to wear it when you bathe at the sea or a lake. It would be terrible if worn for everyday wear." She whispers. "You can't show too much of your body, you know..."
