POST-TRUSTFELL CALL ME OUT

[cutelittlewife]

Hey, you! Would you like to visit scenic, seaside Dalsnes? It has many wonderful features, including not being infested with trolls! It's as safe as any seaport town can be.

Oh, so you've already heard about the newcomers? Well, they're all very nice people. The man with the shrimp tail goes out hunting with Captain Sigrun sometimes, and spends the rest of the time either doing odd jobs around the town or supervising that weird guy and the... robot, I think that's what he's called? Not sure why they need supervising, but...

His... wife, I guess?? The giant lobster. She lives near the shore, and sometimes helps us take down whales. She's always fussing over the kids who come and visit her - they think she's a kind spirit of the sea. They might not be wrong.

And their daughter, with the lobster tail, brought with her a working camera way more advanced than anything we've got, so she's the city's photographer now. Her rates are very affordable for weddings and other special occasions!

So, really, they're all very kind people. Nobody to be worried about.

(Call out either Cherryblod, Doloz, Cherryblod+Doloz, or special guest Lobco, in the title of your comment and give me a starter/prompt or ask me to come up with something, and we'll thread stuff.

Lobco is played by CalledVertigo. I do Cherryblod and Doloz.)

I'm sure they didn't have experience with shrimp people either, but they were good to my husband, too ♥

[And of course she's grateful beyond words for that.]

[pokexplorer]

[There's a laugh here, mostly at himself for missing that obvious fact at first. He has just grown so used to Cherryblod's existence as a humanoid shrimp...]

You are quite right, myself being one of those without experience. Perhaps it has to do with behavior? Cherryblod has never given me a reason to think any differently about him, aside from of course, his life as a shrimp. But I speak more in terms of himself as a person.

[cutelittlewife]

He's wonderful! [The happiest of lovestruck sighs, before she remembers they were talking about something other than Cherryblod.] And I'm sure your Klinklang is wonderful, too. Species really isn't important.

[pokexplorer]

[...

Arceus, Doloz. You two are adorable.]

Oh, absolutely. On both counts! That said, it is no surprise that the two of them got along so well. Did Cherryblod tell you that they actually danced at one point? He taught Klinklang how to waltz.

[Klinklang spins around excitedly, happy that Colress finally brought it up. It was so great, miss giant Crawdaunt!!

Colress casually leaves out that Cherryblod also taught him to waltz too. His embarrassing dance story can remain secret.]

[cutelittlewife]

[They are the most married.]

He told me! He said it was the most fun he'd had dancing with someone outside of his family for a century ♪ Ahh, if only I could dance like that...

[pokexplorer]

[...Crap, so maybe she does know, then.

STILL NOT SAYING ANYTHING.]

Who is to say you cannot? Klinklang has no limbs, but Cherryblod made it work, much to my astonishment.

Perhaps you could attempt it underwater where you are able to float like Klinklang?

[Look, he's bypassing the science involved for a five foot nine shrimp man to dance with a giant lobster just this once because these two deserve happiness okay.]

[cutelittlewife]

[You're a good man, Colress.]

I'd love to! But here we have no underwater instruments, and the ocean distorts sound from on land. It's more difficult than at home to get music to dance to.

[Dalsnes isn't home. Not just yet.]

[pokexplorer]

Ah... Now that I had not considered.

[He feels so silly right now.]

Were the underwater instruments magic-based? Perhaps they can be recreated, if not?

[cutelittlewife]

There was a little magic in almost everything, underwater. Even I'm a little bit magic, although I can't cast any spells...

[pokexplorer]

Really? You are magic as well? In what way?

[Well.

He kind of recognizes the most obvious way, but, you know...]

[cutelittlewife]

Aside from being able to breathe out of water and talk? Mostly in my quick growth and in my claws. I used to be about an inch long, you know. Now I'm an old lady and I'm not as nimble as I used to be.
