001

Who: Connor + Open!
When: During the full moons
Where: Around the city
What: Connor gets his Merrow tail... at the most inconvenient of times
Warnings: None so far!

[Connor is just walking back to his cottage when his legs stop working and he falls in the street. At first he's just confused- he doesn't just fall-, but then he realises he can't get back up. A little panicked, because this isn't normal, the LED on Connor's head flashes red as his legs begin to fuse together and form a bright orange and blue tail.

Why here? He isn't wet. He drags himself forward a few feet; he lives quite a bit further away, but what else can he do? Luckily someone seems to be coming his way. He sits up, hoping it's not someone who dislikes monsters.]

Can you help me?

[He gestures helplessly to his tail.]
ishisstrength: (Surprised.)

[Justine is quickly walking home while the light of the full moon marked her path. She has a bag of herbs in a small paper bag that she hopes to use to help her unlock whatever witch-like talents this world has supposedly given her. It's then that she comes across Connor in his... unfortunate condition.]

Oh. [It isn't helpful but it takes her a moment to know what to say.] Connor?

[He has a tail...]

Can you not make it go away?

[Justine really doesn't know how this monster stuff works.

Maybe he can slither like a snake...]
ishisstrength: (45 - uncertain)

[personal profile] ishisstrength 2019-05-21 04:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh.

[Her brows furrow in worried confusion before glancing down the long cobbled street. The streets are empty and there isn't much in the way of objects or tools that they can use. City streets aren't usually this silent... its eerie.]

I'm not sure how I can help.

[Justine steps forward, crouching down next to this new tail of his. Her fingers ran along the tail and she felt the distinct texture of a fish.] This is... real? [It is a little hard for her to wrap her mind around.]
ishisstrength: (139 - closer)

[personal profile] ishisstrength 2019-05-21 04:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Can you feel my touch?

[She asks in a calm tone.]

Maybe I can find you a cart? I don't have the strength to move you on my own. [Justine is very aware of her talents and brute strength isn't one of them.]
ishisstrength: (11 - leaving)

[personal profile] ishisstrength 2019-05-21 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll be right back.

[She places her palm lightly on his tail.]

Just... stay here. [Justine's lips tug into a light smile as she stands and quickly steps down the street. She jogs around a corner, out of sight and for a few lonely seconds, all he can hear is the click of her boots against the cobble stones.

A few minutes pass.

The counts of the cart can be heard first and then Justine's slender frame comes back into view, pulling a small grain cart with four wheels and a handle.]
ishisstrength: (57 - kept)

[personal profile] ishisstrength 2019-05-22 04:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[Justine rolls it to a stop next to him, placing a brick in front of one wheel to stop it from rolling away while Connor climbed on.] Can I help? [She steps towards his tail but she really doesn't know how to start. Justine doesn't think she can lift it or even help lift it.]

Can you not control it?

[It's slick but there are muscles beneath those scales.]
ishisstrength: (88 - bodice)

[personal profile] ishisstrength 2019-05-22 04:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[She inclines her head in a delicate nod and then waits for Connor to situate himself comfortably on the grain cart. Justine circles the wooden slabs to make sure he's secure and nothing is hanging where it could get run over by the wheels before lifting the stone she'd used to hold it in place and grabbing the handle.

It's difficult for her to push alone and in heels, but she slowly makes her way down the street, hoping that they'll hit a downward slop.]


You might need to help. The ocean is that way.

[She nods in the opposite direction from where she had retrieved the cart.]
ishisstrength: (117 - fishnets)

[personal profile] ishisstrength 2019-05-24 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
Can you use your hands to help me go forward?

[It is wishful thinking but he might have the strength to help her..]

I remember you having impressive muscles in your shoulders and back. [Her tone is teasing and light but she comes to a stop, gasping to catch her breath.]
ishisstrength: (109 - trying not to smile)

[personal profile] ishisstrength 2019-05-24 06:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[Justine exhales a breathless huff of laughter as she watches Connor reach out and help pull the cart forward. Of all the people she's met, Connor has an odd subset of talents. She doesn't quite understand it but she's comfortable enough around him to take him up on the offer. It isn't trust, not entirely, but a earnest gleam to his gaze that she doesn't see in adults.]

Maybe but you should make it a full body massage. My legs are going to be exhausted after this.

[She goes back to pushing and between the two of them, they manage a steady forward pace.

It's when they hit the last steep downward hill that Justine begins to pull back, trying to prevent the cart from going to fast and crashing into something.]
ishisstrength: (60 - lovely legs)

[personal profile] ishisstrength 2019-05-24 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[Justine huffs in answer, suddenly breathless as she digs the heel of her boots into the cobblestones to slow the cart. They're still going a little too fast for comfort but there is a small lift just before the shore line and it's enough for Justine to regain control of the cart without slamming it into something.

Her stomach slams into the railing of the cart and it knocks her breath out of her but it doesn't really hurt. It might bruise but its a minor price to pay.]
Maybe a massage and a drink. [She breaths out as the curls of the crashing waves fills the shell of her ears.]

We're almost there.

[Justine pushes the cart a few more feet and then pauses.] Should we chance the sand or the dock? [The sand will be difficult to push the cart over but the dock is for boats and Connor will have to fall several feet down before hitting the water.

Either way, Justine will have to stay on shore because she doesn't know how to swim.]
ishisstrength: (66 - cautious)

[personal profile] ishisstrength 2019-05-24 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[Justine smiles but the soft curve of her lips is filled with exhaustion.] This isn't the kind of physical activity I'm used too.

I'll be alright. We're close now. [She doesn't want to admit it but she should probably work out. After this, she will likely need to rest before she'll be able to walk back home. If that doesn't work, she'll call someone to carry her home.

She leans forward again and continues to the doc. It's a lot easier on the flat surface and with Connors help. She stops at the end of the pier, knowing that it is deep enjoy for him drop in without issue. Hopefully.]
Here.

[Justine places the brick back under the wheel and then gently helps him move towards the edge of the pier.]
ishisstrength: (75 - smirk)

[personal profile] ishisstrength 2019-05-25 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
[Justine watches as Connor strips and drops unceremoniously into the water. She exhales a sigh of relief when she peers over the edge of the dock and see that he's perfectly fine. She considers returning the cart but decides it would be best to wait until tomorrow. She doesn't have the strength to push it up the hill.

She does have just enough strength to walk around the dock, towards the shore that dips into the water.]
Yeah? Then I will. [Justine isn't sure that she'll be able to get up if she sits down but its a chance she's willing to take.

She steps back the way she'd came but this time she travels down towards the beach, stopping just at the waters edge. It isn't a steady slop like the beaches she's used too but instead its lined with sections of rocks where Justine is sure the depth drops, allowing larger boats to use the docks.

She sits near one of these groups of rocks, watching Connor whenever he breaks the surface of the water.]


You know. [Justine waits until he's close enough that she doesn't have to raise her voice.] If you don't have legs. I'm not sure how to teach you to massage them.

[She stretches her legs out and then proceeds to take off her boots, tossing them next to her.]
ishisstrength: (36 - golden bikini)

[personal profile] ishisstrength 2019-05-25 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[Justine shifts so she's facing Connor, her lips tugging into a tired smile.

He looks a little better than he had when she'd first seen him and... she's glad.]
I could. It isn't so hard but it'd be easier if I take off my pants.

[She doesn't mind but if she's showing him then she actually has to tell him where the muscles are and it's easier without clothes in the way.]

ishisstrength: (98 - oh)

[personal profile] ishisstrength 2019-05-28 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Justine is ready to strip though she pauses when she notices the slight winch to Connor's movements. She slides closer, until she's sitting next to him on the rocks and notices that his tail is out of the water.]

We can sit closer to the edge. I don't want to hurt you.

[She isn't sure what the normal protocol is for someone with a tail like this.] I know it's unsettling but you have a very beautiful tail. [He's like a mermaid.]
