I've been wanting to do a RP like this for awhile. You can be either the sailor or the mermaid. I'm fine with either though I would like to do the Sailor. This can be a romance but can we keep it PG. I really like the idea that the Mermaid gets trapped in a net and is held on the ship where the Sailor ends up pitying them.
Ooft, can I join? The last rp I was in like this died and I really loved it so, may I?
Sure! Would you like this to be a romance or not?
I don’t mind. I’m cool with whatever you want :)
I kinda like the idea of the romance. Who would you like to be?
Well, I have a male, mermaid character I love and could use if you’re cool with that?
That sounds fine! I was planning on using a female Sailor anyway.
Cools. I’ll get his profile!
I like to start mostly blind so we can figure out stuff. But if you want to post templates than could you please leave out stuff like personality so we can actually express that in the RP. Sorry for being a bother!
Thanks! Sorry for being that person!
Aha, don’t worry about it :)
OK! I was thinking about starting when your character gets caught in a net. But I have to go to sleep soon so I won't be on much.
That’s okay, I have a drama class next so I won’t be on much either.
Sounds good with me. You can start when ever you want and I will start either soon or in the morning.
Okay, I’ll write something up now
Arria new going to the surface was a bad idea. He knew swimming near a ship was a bad idea. But he did it anyway. Because he was stupid and had an obsession with humans. So when he got caught in a net he began to panic, trying to find a way out with no luck. And when it started to get higher and higher until he was out if the water? Arria was petrified.
Chesh absentmindedly wandered around the ship. She had gotten all of her chores done and nothing better to do. She looked and waved at some of the crew members as they began to haul up a net of fish. She went to go find something else to do when she heard the yell of "Mermaid!". She looked around, expecting it to be in the water but instead her eyes landed on the net. She rushed over to the side to look at him. Her purple hair was getting wet from the water off the net but she didn't care. A Mermaid? How? They were never seen! She heard someone yell to go get the Captain.
Arria pushed against the ropes, his navy blue and purple tail shimmering in the light of the sun. His violet eyes were wide in fear, his black locks sticking to the side of his face as he struggled to escape. After a few minutes of useless struggling, he gave up.
Most of the crew was gathered at the side of the ship to look at Arria. Chesh stared at him, her purple eyes wide with amazement. She looked at his shimmering blue tail and his violet eyes. She watched as he struggled against the ropes. He must be terrified. She felt bad for him. She would hate to be in his position right now.
“L-Let me go!” Arria shouted, trying to control his breathing and pounding heart. He refused to look at any of them, absolutely hating himself for being so foolish.
And with those words Chesh's heart shattered. Seeing him helpless like this made her sad and angry at once. "We should let him go. He's not a fish." Chesh said to one of the sailors who was near the ropes that were holding Arria. "We need to wait for the Captain." He said. Chesh froze. Captain Robert was a greedy man. He would probably try to sell the Merman off to be some sort of slave or pet.
Arria started to freak out more then he already was if it was possible, "No… No please no! Put me back in the ocean, please!" He didn't care he was begging for his release. He just wanted out. He wanted to go anywhere but here.
Chesh stared at Arria. There was no way she was going to be able to get him out of this situation now. There were a lot more people guarding the ropes and there was no way she would be able to get to it. Captain Robert came out to look. His eyes went wide when he saw Arria. "Well shave my beard and call me a monkeys uncle! That is a Merman!" He said. "We should let him go." She said to him. "We have no use for him."
"Exactly! Listen to her, she's right! I am no use to you with a tail and… and it's not like people will believe that I'm real!" Arria tried to reason, though he still knew there was little hope left. Just looking at this man he could tell if he wanted something, he'd get it.
