[Natasha has looked into the way people spend those coins a little, but she hadn't heard the success rate. Osborn had certainly been able to buy his town. She knew she there were those who had changed, at least.

If there were a failure rate, that explained why everyone wasn't doing it.]

I don't know. Not right now.

I don't know if it would even be worth trying again, considering the way the Fog God pushed back last time.

[aphasiacartist]

yeah. your probably right about that

why do you think she attacked that mountain if she doesnt get mad at the horse guy for changing us/

[outstandingbalance]

Not a bad question. Maybe because of the scale? He does things one person at a time, by request.

The mountain aimed a lot higher.

Just a guess though.

[aphasiacartist]

maybe its because the mountain actually gave a crap about us and the horse just does it for money/

[ Not that she's biased or anything. ]

he doesnt even care when bad things happen to us because of his dumb magic

did you know that he turned me into a snail/ that's what kind of sea creature my mermaid part was and he didnt care at all

[So, really, it shouldn't come as any sort of surprise that Rin is hesitant to come to him for help again. ]

[outstandingbalance]

I didn't know that. You'd mentioned being a mermaid before, but somehow I pictured

Fish.

Did you talk to him, or...?

[It turns out, Natasha didn't actually know how this sort of thing works.]

[aphasiacartist]

no they can be any kind of sea creature i guess.

honestly im not sure what the rules are i just know that theres one guy whose a squid and a different guy whose an eel thing and I was a snail.

[ Demyx is the "Eel Thing" for the record. She didn't really talk to him long enough to ask what his fish parts actually were. ]

no i havent talked to him since i bought the potion.
but i know he didnt care bc hes the one who sold me the stupid snail potion in the first place

[ Of course, now she feels dumb for trusting him enough to buy the potion to begin with. And for drinking a potion without asking what it would turn her into. So she quickly changes the subject back to what it was like to be the Worst Mermaid.]

i was covered in slime all the time. not just my fish parts, my whole body made the stuff
it was so gross

[If Rin were smarter or more socially aware, this might be construed as some kind of intentional manipulation intended to garner sympathy.

She isn't, though. She's just embarrassed at her own foolishness and brought up the first semi-relevant thing that came to mind. ]

[outstandingbalance]

That sounds pretty bad, yeah.

[Natasha doesn't take it for attempting to get sympathy. And at this point, even if it were, Rin probably deserves some sympathy at this point.]

I can't blame you for not wanting to risk that again.

Can't blame you for not wanting to to stay a shade either.

It's not wrong for you to for you to want at least that much control.

[aphasiacartist]

thanks
im really glad you said that

[Because, to be honest, it's beginning to feel like she's asking too much, since there's no clean solution in sight.]

anyway ive got to go now
but thanks again for helping emi. ill try to make it up to you somehow

[outstandingbalance]

You're welcome.

Take care of yourself.
