You’ve only really dealt with these water-dwelling wastrels one other time, but you trust these ‘Shyppa’ things about as far as you can throw ‘em. Naturally you have no clue how heavy they are, but you’re pretty certain you can’t throw them very far!
Just to be clear, you can <span class="mu-i">totally</span> throw things! You throw stuff all the time! It’s just that you probably can’t throw these girls, okay? You’re just saying!
F-for example, you can throw TT! Maybe Rez-
“What the <span class="mu-i">HELLS</span> are you blathering about?” Snarls the devil in question as she interrupts your apparently non-internal monologue with a smack upside the head! “Quit talking about <span class="mu-i">THROWING</span> before I throw <span class="mu-i">YOU</span>!”
“Y-yea, what she said…” Adds TT, her cheeks redder than usual.
Anyways, you groan, you wanna inspect the boat! One-Eye’s perpetual smile droops, if only just a little bit!
“D’awww, come oooon! What, ya’ think we don’t take care of it?”
Yea, you nod, that’s <span class="mu-i">exactly</span> what you think! Why would they need to take care of a boat? They live in the water, right?
“Can’t a gal have <span class="mu-i">hobbies?</span>” Counters Shyppa #1, henceforth referred to as ‘Flippy’! “We don’t get many visitors, y’know~”
“And <span class="mu-s">THE DEEP MOTHER</span> doesn’t really give us much ta’ do these days…” Sulks her friend. You’ll call her ‘Lily’. “She’s been <span class="mu-i">really</span> sleepy...”
“Yea, yea, you should write a sad ballad <span class="mu-i">aaaall</span> about it…” Grumbles Tzah-Tzie with a roll of her eyes! “Ya’ gonna let us inspect the boat or not?”
The three riverdwellers exchange a hollow, glowing stare. “Sure!” Grins Flippy as her unseen tail splashes behind her, “Just take a seat! We’ll grab it for ya~”
True to their collective ‘word’, the mermaids bring the vessel over <span class="mu-i">just</span> close enough to be boarded from the shore! When Volka moves to help, however, the Shyppa’s stares shift to her, freezing the poor Skog in place!
“Go on!” Begins One-Eye, “All aboaaard!”
“You’re gonna feel <span class="mu-i">SO</span> silly when ya’ see how we’ve taken’ care of it…” Purrs Lily.
The question is: who’s gonna check out the merch?
>EVERYONE!
>You!
>Volka!
>TT!
>Rezzie!
>Nevermind, you believe them!
>Write-In!
